He showed her the front page where there a photo of Sam with writing says 'fourteen year old hero at the park'

"Well she is a hero"

"I know that, it a shame that Jacob see what Sam has done for herself"

"I know at least the rest of the family is proud of her"

"True"

Tracey started cooking their breakfast for them knowing it won't be long before they would be walking into the kitchen in a few minutes. Few minutes later Sam walked in and sat down next to her uncle.

"You made the front page Sam?"

"Did I"

"Yes you did"

"Ok" Tracey passed her breakfast while Sam pouredherself a glass of orange juice.

"Thanks auntie" then Jack walk in

"Thanks" they talk for few minutes while eating their breakfast then Mark and Ann walk in at the same time

"Well since it is a tie you two can do the dishes," Sam said smiling as they sat down just as Tracey passed them their breakfast.

They all talk for the next half-hour while heating and talking. Afterwards, Ann and Mark did do the dishes while the others went and did their own thing.

After lunch their limo arrived for them, they all said their goodbyes to Phillip and Tracey till next weekend, then they all got into the limo and left to go to the airport. On the way, Sam notice they weren't going to the airport

"Jack we are not going to the airport" They all looked out the windows and noticed that they were heading into the city. Jack moved so he could talk to the driver. Minute later he moved back to Sam side

"Jack what did he say?"

"He said that he was given instruction to take us to the mayor's office and that was all"

"That odd" Mark said

"I know" Few minutes later the limo stop and they saw the media waiting for them

"What the hell" Jack said then the door open

"We might as well go and find out what's going on" they all got out and saw the mayor at the top of the steps with the three men Sam saved. They walk up the steps and stop in front of the mayor.

"Samantha Carter"

"Yes"

"Please step forward," Sam walked up three steps and stopped.

"Samantha Carter in the act of the greatest heroism or of the most conspicuous courage in circumstance of extreme danger. Risking your life to save others, it has given me the honor to present you the 'air force civilian award of Valor' congratulations"

Then he pin the metal award on to Sam then he shook her hand

"Thanks"

"Samantha Carter has risk her life yesterday afternoon to save this three gentlemen live, what she did is incredible and crazy" Sam grin

"Miss Carter I know that you and your friends"

"Family" she said

"Family are on your way back to Colorado, I wish you all safe journey"

"Thank you"

"Miss Carter can we take photos of you and the mayor?"

"Ok make it snappy we got a plane to catch" they chuckle as photos were taken and Sam shook his hand before saying goodbye then she walk down the steps standing next to Jack, he pulled her into a kiss

"Let go home" he said

"Good idea"

They walk down the steps with Mark and Ann, they all wave goodbye just as they got into the limo, then they are on their way again. When they got to the airport and were on the plane, they were five minutes late. Luckily Jack booked a private plane for the weekend just in case they were running late.

Two hours later Jack and Sam walk into the house after their limo drops Mark and Ann off at the academy before they get home. It was a long day for them both.

"Sam, how about we take away for dinner tonight?"

"Sounds good to me"

"Ok, I'll head into town to get some"

"Ok I'll take care of our bags"

"Ok do we need anything?"

"Milk, fruit for breakfast in the morning"

"Ok I'll pick up a loaf of bread while I'm at it"

"Ok" Then he left a minute later in his truck.

Sam took care of their bags and put a load of washing through the machine. Then she got everything else sorted out and even did some dusting till Jack returned.

When he returned half an hour later Sam got them both a drink just as he walked into the kitchen area. Sam put the milk and other things away while Jack sorted out their dinner. He got them both fish and chips that they both enjoyed while talking.

After dinner and the rubbish was put away, Jack got them both another drink and they walked into the living room and sat down and watched some TV. They saw on the news what Sam did the day before and what she received today.

When it was over, Jack flick through the channels till he came across a movie which they both watch till the end

"That was a good movie" jack said

"Yeah" then she let out a yarn

"I'm going to bed"

"Same here we got to be up early in the morning"

"I know"

They both got up just as Jack turn the TV off they both walk up stairs together after he turn off the lights along the way till they stop outside of Sam bed room they both hug and kiss

"Night Jack"

"Night Sam" Sam walked into her room and closed the door, Jack walked down to her bedroom and did the same.

The next morning Mr Thomas showed up, he smile when he saw Sam

"Morning Sam"

"Morning Mr Thomas how was your weekend?"

"Good but it nothing compares to you"

"Oh?" she raised her eyebrows

"I saw the news last night, you're a hero"

"I know" then she gave Jack a hug and a kiss

"See you on Friday"

"Ok don't study to hard"

"I try not to" then they kiss again before she gets in the car and waves Jack goodbye.

He watches the car go till he couldn't see it any more. Then he walked back into his house and went to get ready for work.

When Mr Thomas dropped Sam off at the dorm, she walkedinside when she was bombarded by the other girls, they heard about what she did. She managed to get to her room and got her things sorted out, then she had to get her books sorted out and left for class.

Over the next three Days was busy for Sam, when she wasn't studying she was busy doing other things. On Friday afternoon when she walked into her room Jack was waiting for her. She put her bag down and walk over to the bed and sat down then lean over to give Jack a kiss

"You look tired Sam?"

"I am, every since I return last Tuesday, I've been bomb bartend with questions from either the girls in the dorm or from classes, that including the academy"

"Well at least you can sort of relax this weekend"

"I know, thanks"

"When you are ready, we can go and I'll buy us an ice cream, how does that sound?" she smile

"Sounds good to me"

She gave him another kiss before they both got up from the bed. Sam sorted out her homework then she and Jack picked up the bags and they left walking down to his truck.

On the way home, Jack got them both ice creams that they had to eat quickly since it was melting fast. When they got home. Sam sorted out her bags that she was going to be taking with her.

By the time she was finished, their limo showed up with Mark and Ann in it. Few minutes later they were on their way to the airport, they talked on the way till the limo stopped.

They got out and watched as the staff put their bags onto the plane. Then they got on and sat down and put their belts on. Few minutes later they were airborne on their way to New York.

Jack got up and went to the fridge and got them all a drink then returned and passed it to them. They all talked till the plane landed two hours later. When they got off their limo was they're waiting for them.

Once their bags were in and they were in the limo, they were all on their way to the 'peninsula' hotel where Jack and Mark are staying the night since Sam and Ann are staying at Ann's parents' place for the night since Sam is one of the bridesmaids.

When they got to the hotel Jack gave Sam a kiss and a hug before Sam got back into the limo. Mark and Ann did the same then the limo drove away. Mark and Jack walk into the hotel and up to the front desk with bags in hand.

Ten minutes later they were walking into their own rooms and did their own thing for an hour before Jack went to get Mark and they both went out for dinner. When Jack spoke to Ann's father about a buck's night, they started planning everything without Mark knowing about it. When they walked into a restaurant, Jack spoke to the waitress while Mark went into the men's room.

When he returned she showed them both to a private room that was book. Jack let Mark go in first. When he walk in all the guys cheer and Mark stop in shock Jack clap him on his shoulder

"Mark welcome to your last night as a free man" Mark turn to Jack

"You knew about this?"

"Well I help plan it" Mark shook his head then stepped into the room.

They guys cheer him on. There were over fifty guys at the party. Phillip and his five sons were there. Mark class mate and old high school mates where they're including Ann brothers, father and uncles.

"Let the party begin" Jack said

When the limo arrived at the 'Cole' house, Sam was shock to see how big it was and look at Ann

"I didn't know your family is rich?"

"Now you know"

"Does Mark know?"

"Yes and dad wanted him to sign a prenup before we get married"

"Ok, so did he sign it?"

"We talk about it and yes he did"

"Ok"

When the limo stop, they got out just ass Ann mother opened the door and walk outside, she gave Ann a hug

"Ann welcome home"

"Thanks mum" then she saw Sam

"Samantha, welcome"

"Thank you"

"Ann told me what you did last Monday, I was shock"

"Thanks"

"Come on in, you two must be hungry?"

"Yes we are mum"

They walked inside, Sam could see there were four maids busy working in the house. Sam followed them into a room where there was a wet bar, there were other women and young girls there with their drinks. She smile when she saw Tracey she walk over to her as Tracey stood up

"Sam"

"Auntie Tracey" they both hug

"How was your trip?"

"Good, what's going on where the men?"

"Bucks and hen night" she whisper

"Ah"

Then they sat down just as Ann pass San her drink then she sat down and they all talk for fifteen minutes before Sam stood up and walk over to where Ann is

"Sam are you ok?"

"Where the bathroom"

"Oh I'll show you"

"Thanks" they walk out together so Ann could show Sam where it is, when they got there

"Thanks, have you noticed there are no men about?"

"Yeah, why is that?" Sam smile

"Well let just say enjoy your last night as a free women"

Then she walked into the bathroom closing the door behind her, leaving a puzzled Ann standing there for a minute then she returned back to where the other women were.
