CH 150

It was just at dawn when Sam landed at San Diego air force base. When she got off her plane with her duffle bag a car pulled up and a lieutenant got out and walk over to Sam

"Lieutenant Carter?" Sam turn to the young guy and smile

"Jeff how are you? '' his eyes widened, and then stepped forward where they hugged then pulled back.

"Sam how are you, what are you doing here… classified"

"Yep so you're my driver"

"Yep, come on how things are in Colorado springs?"

"Cold" he laugh

They walk over to the car where Sam put her duffle in the back seat before getting into the front next to Jeff. He drives her to where Sam will be spending the next six months while in training to get her delta force badge. They talk about what has been happening since they last saw each other, and how their Christmas went.

Half an hour later they stop outside a building where the delta forces want to be staying.

"Thanks for the lift Jeff, take care"

"You to Sam and good luck"

"Thanks"

She got out and closed the door, then she opened the back door and got her duffle bag out then she closed the back door and waved to Jeff as he drove away. Sam walks into the building to see no one else there, so she walks over to one of the bunk beds and puts her duffle bag on one of the beds when a man who was in his late forties walks into the room and over to where Sam is.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Sam stood at attention and saluted which the colonel did in return

"Lieutenant Samantha Carter sir" The colonel looked at her in shock

"Your thee Samantha Carter"

"Sir"

"Are you Dr Carter?"

"Yes sir, now Lieutenant Carter sir"

He held out his hand so Sam took it, then he try a well known manoeuvre on Sam, but she was fast and he ended on the floor with his arm twist behind his back

"At easy lieutenant" Sam let go and stepped back. The colonel stood up and look at her

"Good moves but it takes more than martial arts to be become one of the delta force members"

"I know that sir"

"You're too young to be in with the delta force" Sam raised an eyebrow she knew she was through this while she was doing the rangers training.

"Looks can be deceiving sir"

"That's true, I'm warning you know, there will be no favouritism"

"I expect none sir, just equal like the other delta force want to be"

"Good the others won't be here till 1000 hours, in the meantime you can go over to the mess hall for breakfast"

"Yes sir, thank you sir" they saluted each other then he left rubbing his back and shoulder, Sam tried not to smile.

She sorted out her bag then she got changed into her BDU clothing and walked over to the mess hall to get some breakfast. After breakfast she returns back to the quarters to see boots and clothing on top of her bed. She walked over and pick up the note and read it

'Lieutenant Carter these clothes you wear while in training, good luck, make us proud, top brass' Sam smiles then she checks everything out carefully.

Once everything was all clear, she quickly got changed and put her BDU clothing away then went for a walk while checking out the place.

At 1000 hours the rest of the 'delta force' wanna be showed up and was getting their gear sorted out and was asking Sam questions and all she can tell them that it was classified.

When Sam heard the colonel and two others talking while walking towards the building. When they got to the door which was open. Sam was already at the end of her bed

"Ten hut" she called out,

They looked at her strange then she looked at the guy who was across from her, she made eye contact with him and she moved her eyes to the door then back to him. He turn to see the colonel and two others in the doorway so he quickly stood at the end of his bed at attention

"Ten hut" he called out

Then the others looked around and saw who was at the door. They quickly move to the end of the beds and stood at attention the colonel and other officers walk into the room and walk down to the other side of the room as they were looking at each of the young officers and Sam

"When someone called 'Ten hut' you come to attention strait away, it doesn't matter who called it, am I clear"

"Yes sir" they all said

"Good you got ten seconds to get outside" they all ran out side except for sam the colonel walk over to her

"Is there a problem lieutenant"

"No sir, you didn't say when sir"

"True, lieutenant you got five seconds to move, now" he yelled in her face then Sam was out the door in the blink of an eye. She heard them say

"Wow she fast"

"We will see if she can handle herself" then they walk out the door and their first day of training begins.

Over the next six months, Sam works her hardest in her training, the colonel and other delta force instructors have been impressed with Sam in the way she can handle not just herself but any gun as well.

At the end of January they were all walking into the mess hall laughing and joking.

Sam sense something was wrong so she stop laughing and look around the room

"Guys cool it, something wrong"

"What do you mean?"

"Look, no one talking" then she walk over to a bunch of guys

"Hi, what's going on, how come no one is talking?"

"You haven't heard?"

"No, we just got back from the field we were away for a week, why what happened?

"We not sure yet but there been an accident at NASA"

"What happen" the guys walk over to where Sam is

"Space shuttle Challenger exploded after take off, they don't know what happen all we been told that the fuel rockets parted from the ship to early and one of the rockets exploded causing the shuttle to explode in mid air"

"Oh my god" Sam said with a pail look

"They think it would take months to find the cause and at least two years before another ship can be build"

Sam realizes that her dreams of going into space are going to take longer than first plan. She turned and walked out of the mess hall leaving the shock guys there. She went to the public phone and called Jack. They spoke for an hour before Sam went back to the mess hall for some thing to eat

When they all have a day off once every five or six weeks, Jack would show up in the morning in a limo and take Sam back to the 'lodge at Torrey pines in la jolla' hotel.

Where they go to his room and spend all day in bed making passionate love. They talk and even order room service while there. Jack lets Sam order whatever she wants, cause he knows it will make her happy.

Jack told Sam that Bridget had a girl on the tenth of January and that Tom ended up delivering their daughter since they were snowed in at home and couldn't get to the hospital.

That night they headed back to the base where Jack walked Sam back to her quarters. They both hugged and kissed before he walked back and got back into the limo and left.

Sam watches the limo leave till she couldn't see it no more then she walks inside to see the guys there getting ready for bed before light out.

"Hey Carter, who is the guy in the limo?" one of them asked

"My husband" they shock everyone there

"Husband, I didn't even know you were married?"

"Well I am wearing a wedding ring" she shows the guy and the others.

Sam walked over to her bed and got her night wear out and walked into the bath to get change and to relieve herself and did her night routine before going to bed. Just after she got into bed the light went out so she rolled over and closed her eyes then she was asleep a minute later.

At the end of the six months, they were all tried but happy that the training was over. The morning that they would find out if they pass or not, Jack showed up in the limo, when he got out, the colonel and two instructors were their waiting for him

"Major O'Neill"

"Colonel" Jack stood at attention and saluted which he did in return then they shook hands.

"How did Sam do?"

"She's one hell of a soldier, it a shame she can't join the delta force team" jack laugh

"I know what you mean, you read her records"

"Yes and she the only female in history to complete the rangers training and pass… now the delta force as well on top"

"Well there you go, she told me what happen when you first meet her"

"What did she tell you?"

"She kick your ass sir in hand to hand"

"Ah yes, the moves she did, she was fast"

"Well she is level five in hand to hand"

"I found out that after I meet her and another thing is her hearing, she could here us coming a mile away"

"Yes she got great hearing, how did the guys treat her?"

"They had a ruff start but she soon put them in their place and after that, they get on well"

"That good to know, so shall we, knowing Sam, she would know we are here"

"True" they walked over to the quarters when they could hear shouting inside. They walk in to see Sam and one of the big guy's arm wrestling they were betting who will win

"Sam will win this one" Jack said

"How so?"

"Watch her"

Sam was looking at her opponent then she turn and smile at Jack then she looked at her opponent and said

"I wish I could be like this all day but my sexy husband, the colonel and two instructors are looking at us"

Her opponent turn and was shock to see who was there then bang Sam put the guy arm down then stood up after she let go then turn and held out her hand when the guys groan as they put money in her hand then they all heard

"Ten hut" she said then they all turn and stood at attention

"At easy" everyone relax

"Nice move lieutenant"

"Thank you sir, when you're in battle make sure nothing distracts you otherwise your dead"

"That right" then he looked at them all

"I am pleased to announce the names of those who have passed the training. When you hear your name, please step ford and received your badge"

He unfolds the piece of paper then he starts calling out names one by one. They step forward to receive their badges then return to their spot. When he got to the end of the list he look at them all

"Last name on the list…Lieutenant Samantha Carter"

They all clap and cheer Sam on as she steps ford to receive her badge. When she return back to her spot she look at Jack who got a smile on his face

"Congratulations to you all, well done… dismiss" Sam walk over to Jack and they both hug and kiss

"I'm proud of you Sam"

"Thanks Jack, let me say goodbye to the guys before we leave"

"Sure"

He gives her a kiss and watches her as she walks over to where the guys are and says her goodbyes to them then she walks over and gets her duffle bag and walks over to where Jack is. He took the duffle bag from Sam hand then they wrapped their arms around each other as they walked out to the limo. They guys watch them getting to the limo and watch the limo disappear behind one of the buildings heading towards the exit.

Sam snuggled up to Jack's side since he got his arm around her shoulder they were kissing.

"What do you want to do when we get to the hotel?"

"Mmm what do you think?" she said smiling at him

"I know what you are thinking"

"Do you now?"

"Yep" they both kiss till the limo stops.

Few minutes later they were in their hotel room with the door lock. They were kissing and removing each other's clothes then Jack made the bed covers move while he scooped Sam up in his arms and lay her on the bed with him on top. They kissed and made passionate love screaming out each other's names. They spent all day in bed making love and ordering lunch and dinner while in bed.

The next morning Jack surprise Sam by taking her down to the spa when they walk into the room, Sam turn to Jack

"Jack a spa?"

"Yes this is one of the rewards you will be getting till we get home this afternoon"

"Why, what reward?"

"You got your small arms badge, flight badges and now your delta force badges, so why can't I spoil my wife once in a while" he said smiling

"Well I guess you right, thank you Jack" she gave him a hug and kiss

"Now go and enjoy yourself"

"I will"

She turned around and walked over to the counter and spoke to the staff there. They got Sam to fill out a form and sign it then she followed the worker through the door. While Sam was getting pampered, Jack returned back to his room and got changed then walked down to where the pools are and went for a swim.

When he finishes swimming his lengths he gets out and dries down. He notices two women who are in their twenties looking at him. He could hear them talking about him. He turns and looks at them and smiles which cause them to giggle then he raises his left hand and makes his ring move, so they know that he is already married.
