CH 132
The next morning Sam drove to the academy and parked her truck and got out. She noticed that some of the cadets there were looking at the truck and was shocked to see who the drive is. When Sam got out she got her bags and backpacks before locking up and walking over to where the locker rooms are.
Sam did spend all day on the base, after class she was helping one student after another with their projects. By the end of the day she was tired so when she got to her truck and got in, she turn the cell phone to see if there was any messages, there was one, so she listen to the message
"Hi Sam I know you are in class any way we are heard out this morning, we are going on a different path so I'll see you on Sunday, take care and don't work too hard, love you, bye" then Jack hung up.
Sam smiles at Jack's message then she presses a couple of buttons before putting it on the seat next to her, then she puts her seat belt on before starting her truck up and turning the heater on before she drives home.
When she got home she checked the answering machine to see if there were any messages. There was one so she played it.
"Hello, Jack, Sam are you two there, guest not, any way I just call to let you know that Mary Jane is pregnant she is six weeks long, we both are happy with the news. Tom was out to your cabin yesterday to check on it and everything is still there but covered in snow. We will talk to you guys later, take care, bye" then Gary hung up
Sam left the message on the machine so Jack could listen to it when he gets home. She knew that Jack would give him a call and give him a hard time, which made her smile. She went and put something on for dinner and watched some TV before having an early night since she got to be at the academy early in the morning.
At six o'clock in the morning Sam pulled up at the academy parking lot. It was starting to dawn. She got out and got her bags then she locked her truck up and walked into one of the buildings then walked down to where the women's locker is and got changed into her winter BDU clothing.
Then she sorted out her backpack and then she locked her locker then she left to head to where she was meeting the others.
Sam was away for the four days doing her winter training with the other cadets. By the end of the four cold days, everyone was looking forward to a long hot shower and hot food.
When they all returned back to the academy they all went to have their showers and got changed into clean dry BDU clothing before they went to get a hot meal and drink. When Sam was dressed, she was in her civvies. She walk out to her truck when she heard
"Dr Carter" she turn to see one of the training instructors there
"Colonel how the cadet Young doing?"
On the second day the cadet was clowning around that evening on bank ment when part of the ice broke which caused the cadet to lose his balance and fall down and ended up in the river. He was also knocked unconscious when he hit his head.
The three colonels warned everyone to keep away but the cadet didn't listen. When they got him out, one of the colonel who was also got training in field medic was shock and wasn't sure what to do.
"Do don't know what to do, this never happened before"
"Jeff get the cadet sleeping bag out" sam said as she was getting hers out and throw it to him
"Zip them together and you guys give me a hand to get his clothes off and into dry ones then we can get into the sleeping bags. Then I'll have a look at his head, now move before he get hypothemer"
"Hey you can't give out orders" Sam looked at the colonels
"Well you guys haven't dealt with this before and the longer that this cadet stays like this the changes of his survival is getting lower" by that time she got both boots off.
"Who do you think you are and I don't know why you are here"
"Hey, less talk more action. We can talk tomorrow that cadet life is what is important right now" the colonels watch as Sam and the others work as a team around the cadet.
With in minutes the cadet was in dry clothes and was in the sleeping bags and was in Sam tent. She picks up the first aid kit and crawls her way in. She saw the cadet's pale face and blue lips.
She put her fingers to his neck and got a pulse, then she looked at her watch for a minute then she opened the first aid kit and got started on taking care of the wound. Once it was done she noticed he was shaking.
She passed the box to the cadet then she took her boots and jacket off then she got the army blanket out of her backpack and put it over the sleeping bags. Then she worm her way in to the sleeping bag and she wrap her arms and body around him then she look up at the others
"Close the flap guys, see you in the morning"
"I want you out of that sleeping bag right now cadet"
"No and I'm not a cadet, you can deal with me tomorrow right now I'm share my body heat with him so he won't freeze to death, close the flaps"
Then she lay her head down on her jacket that was used as a pillow. She heard them close and zip up the tent.
"Who does she think she is"
"She is Samantha Carter and she knows what she is doing sir" one of the cadets said
"Sir Sam is a fully qualified first aid institutor and paramedic, she knows what she is doing" the colonel was shock with what two of the cadets were saying then he turn to one of the other colonels
"It is true and you should be lucky she is here otherwise cadet young would be dead" then he walks over to where the campfire is.
The others follow suit leaving the colonel standing there for a few minutes before he joins them. Not knowing that Sam was healing the cadet by making her temperature slowly rise that would make the cadet body temperature slowly rise. Sam watches colour return back to his cheeks and are lips returning back to normal colour.
When her body temperature returned to normal she closed her eyes and fell asleep knowing that he was going to be ok but will wake up with a bad headache in the morning. Which did happen when he woke up feeling a warm body next to him and saw whom it was.
"How are you feeling" sam asked
"Better I screws up didn't I"
"You didn't listen knowing the others will tell you what happen last night"
"Ok boy have I got a headache in an half" he put his hand up to his head when he felt the bandage on it
"You hit your head on a rock which was sticking out of the river"
"Ouch"
"Yeah, but I'm in a lot of trouble but don't worry about me. Come on get up and dress I need a hot cup of coffee to warm me up"
"Sounds good to me… Sam thanks for saving my life"
"Your welcome, next time listen and no more clowning around or I will kick your ass" he smile
"I know you can do that"
They slip out of their sleeping bag and Sam put her boots on, the she got two plastic bags out of her backpack and passes them to him
"Put them on your feet before putting your boots back on, it will keep your socks and feet dry"
"Thanks, where's my jacket?"
"Out side, the others would most properly try to dry it out last night when you took the cold dip"
"Oh" Once they were dressed they pack everything up before they crawl out of the tent they walk over to where the three colonels are.
"Morning" Sam said
"Morning Sam, cadet how are you feeling"
"Better besides the headache sirs"
"Here" one of the colonel pass him two aspirins while Sam pour them both cup of coffee, then pass one to him
"Thanks Sam, sorry sir about what happen yesterday"
"Next time listen"
"Yes sir and if I don't sir, Sam would kick my but" Sam smile as she took a sip of the hot brew
"We know she can"
Over the next few days, there were no problems on the rest of the training exercise, when they all returned back to the academy, they were all cold, wet, hungry and tired. Sam went and had a quick shower and got changed into her civvies before leaving for home. When she got into her truck she turn her cell phone on and called Jack
"Hello"
"Hey miss you" She knew he would be smiling
"Hey I miss you too, when are you coming home?"
"Right now, see you when I get home"
"Ok drive carefully there been black ice on the road in the last couple of days"
"Ok see you soon, love you"
"Love you two Sam" then they both hung up.
Sam put her cell phone on the passager seat before she put her seat belt on and started the truck up and turning the heater on. She waited till the window was demises before driving home.
When she arrived home and her truck was in the garage she got out and got her bags before locking up, she walk inside the house and took her boots off and notice Jack didn't greet her
"Jack" she called out, there was no reply.
She walked into the living room, then the kitchen, he wasn't there. So she took her washing down to the laundry room and put a load through. Then she walks up stairs and walks into her bedroom when she hears the bath running, then she smiles knowing what Jack is doing.
She put her bags on the bed and walked into the bathroom to see him smiling. He walk over to her and they both hug and kiss
"Sam it good to have you home""It is good to be home"
"How did the training go?"
"It went ok, I save a cadet life"
"What happened?"
"Later right now that bath is calling out for me" he smiles and gave her a kiss
Why don't you get out of your clothes and get in the bath here while I'll go and get us some dinner"
"Sounds good to me"
He gives her a kiss before walking out the door and partly closing it. Sam heard him whistling while walking out of her room which made her smile.
She turned and took her clothes off and she got into the bath while it was still filling up. When it was full she turned the taps off and sat back, closed her eyes and relaxed in her bubble bath. She was pleased to be home and to see Jack once again since it was over a month since she last saw him. Sam was lost in thought when she heard on the other side of the door
"Sam are you ok in there?"
"Yes, I'm ok why?"
"Well you been in there for over an hour, I was worried" Sam didn't realise that she been in the bath that long
"I'm fine"
"Well ok dinner is ready"
"I'll be out in a minute"
"Ok" then she heard him walk away.
She noticed that the water was getting cold and the bubbles were gone. She pulled the plug in the tube then she dried down before walking out into her room and she got dressed in a pair of sweatpants and sweatshirt and socks.
Then she walks back into the bathroom and cleans it up then she picks the Washing up and She walks down to where the laundry shoot is and puts them down before walking down stairs and into the kitchen. She saw that Jack wasn't there but she heard the TV going so she walked into the living room to see Jack pulling containers out of two bags.
She saw a Cup of hot chocolate waiting on the table for her. She walked over and sat down next to Jack and picked up her drink and took a ship of the hot drink.
"That feeling good," she said
"I knew you would like some, here eat up" he gestures with his hands
"Thanks" he put her cup down and picked up a container and chopsticks.
They talk while enjoying their meal. When everything was eaten, Sam sat back and relaxes patting her stomach
"Thanks for dinner Jack"
"Your welcome, want another drink?"
"Yes thanks"
Jack stood up and took care of the mess then returned with two cups of hot chocolate. He sat down and passed one to Sam
"Thanks" she snuggled up to Jack's side as they watched some TV before going to bed for the night.
The next day while Jack was at work, Sam did some washing and did some house work for the day and she cooked roast beef with Yorkshire pudding with roast vegetables for their evening dinner. When Jack went home he could smell it as soon as he walked into the kitchen. He gave Sam a hug and kiss before going up stairs to change out of his dress blues while Sam was dishing up their dinner. They both enjoyed their dinner while talking about the graduation ceremony which was the next day.
