"Sam what did the lawyer say about the house and staff?" Sam moved and smiles
"They belong to an old friend of your dad, he had some financial problems after the house was built and he already hired the staff so your dad renting this place and pay the staff wages to help out. He said that according to the written agreement that your dad got a ten-year rent and staff payment agreement and if any things happen to him before the ten years were up. That he will pay the staff two months wages till they could find another job or the owner want them to stay on"
"That was good of dad, helping others out"
"Just like you"
"Yeah" Sam gave him a kiss before standing up
"I'll leave to make the call, I'm going to check this house out" she said smiling
"Ok" Jack watches Sam walk out of the study, closing the door behind her.
Sam looked through the house while Jack called Andy, then he called Tracey to let her know what was happening with the funeral and where it is going to be. When he finished on the phone, he picked up his drink and went looking for Sam. When he found her, she was sitting outside. Sam turn and smile when he walk over to her and sat down
"I called Andy he said to let him know when the funeral is so he can let the guys know"
"Ok"
"I've also called Tracey, she said to let her know also" sam nodded
"Have you checked this place out?"
"No, I didn't have time the last time I was here" Sam nodded
They talked for ten minutes when they heard a car pull up, so they went to see who it is. When they walk in side they went to the foliar when they saw the Butler opening the door and they heard him talking to some guy, they heard it was the detective, so the Butler step back to let him in
"Detective Green, I'm Jack O'Neill"
"Hi, sorry to meet like this" they shook hands
"Is ok, this is Samantha Carter"
"Hi you are to young to be engage"
"We are having a long engagement, are you here to take Jack down to the morgue?"
"Yes, if this afternoon is ok with you Mr O'Neill"
"Sure"
"Jack you want me to come"
"Thanks, before we go, I'll be right back" then he walk away from them
"He handling it well"
"It will be a while for the shock to set in" he nodded
"Has Mrs O'Neill been notified about his death?"
"No one has seen her since last night"
"Oh, any ideas where she might be?"
"Yeah I think so, but she will be back tonight, so she will be told then"
"Ok" He could tell she wasn't telling him everything, so he left if for now.
When Jack return, they left in the detective car with Jack in the front and Sam in the back. Jack and the detective talk till they got to the morgue. When they walkedinto a room, the detective spoke to a doctor then he walked into the room and they all saw the doctor and another worker move the gurney to the window.
Sam held onto Jack's hand as he gave them the nod. They pulled down the sheet till all they could see was his face and neck Jack nodded they cover the face up again. Jack turn to the detective
"It my father"
"Sorry for your loss"
"Thanks"
"There is some papers that needed to be filled out and sign before I'll take you back"
"Sure" they walk down to a room where they waited for the doctor to show up with the papers. When he did Jack filled out the papers, when done he pass them back and sat back
"What happens now?"
"We will be contacting his lawyer to find out which funeral home he is going to"
"Ok, have them call the house for his uniform he wanted to be bury in"
"Sure, anything else?"
"The lawyer taking care of everything" then he turn and look at Sam who was looking at him then he looked at the detective
"Can you take us back"
"Sure"
They stood up and walked out of the room and out of the building and got back into the car and returned back to the house. By the time they returned the sun was setting and it was starting to get dark. Jack and Sam thank the detective before leaving.
Jack and Sam walk into the house and walk into the living room where Jack walks over to the bar and pour himself a double whisky and drank it in one go then he poured another one and did it again. When he poured it the third time he went to lift it only to have Sam hand on his wrist to stop him from lifting it. He turned and looked at her
"Please don't shut me out Jack" he let go of the glass and put the bottle down then he turn to Sam
"I… I don't know how I'm going to cope, I'm the only one left"
Sam pulled him to the couch and they both sat down. Jack lean onto Sam shoulder while she got her arm wrap around his
"We will get through this together Jack, I'll be here for you"
Then she heard him starting to cry. He finallyrealizes that his father isn't returning, a father he was just getting to know after all these years only to be taken away from him like what happened to the rest of his family. Sam hugs for half an hour before he pulls away and looks at her.
"Thank Sam I needed the hug"
"And there is plenty of that where it came from when you need it"
"I know" then they hug once more.
"How are you feeling?"
"Tired, it been a long shocking day"
"I know, why don't we get some dinner and then I'll get change in to my nightie and you into your nightwear, and we cure up in your bed and watch a movie since I know that there is a TV in your room" she said smiling
"What about popcorn?"
"I'll ask the chief if he got any in the kitchen"
"Thanks, Sam" she gives him a kiss and screw her face up
"Yuck" Jack smile
"What yuck"
"Your whisky breath, that what" then he pulled her towards him and they both kiss again then she pulled away from him and stood up
"Jack O'Neill, if you want me to kiss you again later you better do something about that breath of yours" he laugh
"I'm going to go and find out when dinner is going to be ready while you do something about your breath" she walked out of the room leaving Jack there alone.
"Well dad as you can see I am happy and Sam can make me happy"
Then he stood up and walked out of the room and down to his room where he opened his bag and got his toilet bag out and walked into the bathroom where he brushed his teeth.
Then he walked out and out of the room and walked down to the dinning room to see the butler walking out of the kitchen with two plates in hand. He put them down on the table just as Jack sat down, they both said thanks and he walked back into the kitchen.
"Sam did you ask for this, for our dinner?"
"Well I did ask what was in the kitchen and when he told me and asked what we would like for dinner tonight and I told him so he did this up for us"
"When did you check out the kitchen?"
"While you were talking to Andy and Auntie Tracey this afternoon"
"Ok, well it looks and smells great"
"There is desert afterwards"
"Oh yummy" they both enjoyed their dinner while talking.
When the Butler took away their plates they talked more about the funeral arrangements when the butler returnedwith chop up fresh fruit and chocolate ice cream for dessert. They both enjoyed it when they finish that and their drinks they both stood up from the dining room table
"Meet you in your room" Sam said
"Sure" then they went their separate ways. Sam walked back into the kitchen to see the chief making a Caramel sauce to go on top of the popcorn.
"That looks great"
"Thank you, how was your dinner?"
"It was great thanks you"
"That is good to know"
"When it is ready, I'll be in Jack room"
"Sure it will be ready in about ten minutes"
"Ok, thanks" then she walked out of the kitchen and down to her room.
After she gotchanged and relieved herself and had a facial, she put her robe on then walked out of her room turning the lights off then walked down to Jack room which was across the hall. He had his door open and he just walk out of the bathroom
"The butler just drop off out popcorn and sodas" Jack said
"Great, so let see what on at the movies"
She took her robe off and put it on the end of the bed then she got in just as Jack did. Once they were comfortable, Jack flick through the channels till that came across a movie so Jack turned the lights off and Sam made the bowl of popcorn go to her. They both watched two movies, ate all the popcorn and drank their sodas.
When the second movie ended, Jack looked down to see Sam had fallen asleep, so he pulled the covers over them both and turned the TV off. He then kiss Sam forehead
"Night Sam" then he closed his eyes and fell asleep seconds later.
The next morning when Sam woke up, she was snuggling up against a warm body. She opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Jack still sleeping. So she slowly got out of bed without waking him up and grabs her robe before leaving his room and walk back to hers.
She relieved herself and gotchanged into her swimsuit and grabbed a towel then walked out of her room and walked down to where the swimming pool is so she could swim some laps of the pool.
Not long after Sam started swimming her laps, Jack woke up and noticed Sam was gone. So he got up and went to relieve himself then he got changedinto his swimming shorts and grabbed a towel before leaving his room and walking down to where the pool is.
When he walkedoutside, he smiled when he saw Sam swimming her laps, so he decided to join her. When Sam was swimming her laps she was smiling when she saw Jack join her. When Sam finish with her lapse, she watches Jack do his till she heard footsteps and turn to see the maid walking out and over to her
"Morning Sam"
"Morning Maria"
"What would you and Mr O'Neill like for breakfast this morning?" Sam smile
"Fresh fruit salad for started then cheese and onion omelet, toast and apple juice thanks"
"Sure would you coffee as well Sam?"
"Coffee for Jack, nothing for me"
"Sure, is there anything else?" Sam thought about it and shook her head
"No that it thanks"
"Ok I'll let the chief know"
"Ok… oh since it a beautiful day today, we will have outside here, at least we can dry off while having breakfast"
"As you wish" then she walked back inside.
Sam watches and waits for Jack to finish his lengths, which he did a few minutes later. When he stops and wipes the water off his face, Sam swam over to him and stop in front of him
"Morning Jack"
"Morning Sam" they both hug and kiss
"So what are the plans for today?" sam asked
"Well I'll have to get dad uniform sorted out for starts and take that to the funeral home and also see the lawyers to find out what happening there and most properly makes some more calls and after that who know"
"Ok how are you feeling?"
"I'm ok, I know it will take a while for it to sink in"
Sam nodded then they turned when they saw Maria walk outside with their breakfast.
"So what are we having for breakfast this morning"
"Food" Sam said smiling
"Sam" he looked at her
"For starts fresh fruit salad, so come on breakfast awaits"
She turned and got out of the pool then Jack followed. When they get to the table and chairs, they pick up their towels and dry themselves down. Then they both put robes on that Maria brought out for them and sat down and started eating their breakfast while talking.
