They spent the whole day in bed since Sam was going to be away for the next ten days on the course. On Monday morning, Jack drove Sam to the academy where he dropped her off after they both hugged and kissed before he left to head to Peterson air force base.

Week after Sam left for her training, Jack was at the academy doing some training exercise with the black ops team when General Ryan showed up. So they all took a break since the general wanted to talk to Jack alone.

"General is everything ok sir?"

"Yes, since Captain Carter is away, you can give her the good news"

"What good news sir"

"Senator Kinsey, he admitted that Captain Carter was telling the truth, and almost ruined her career, the president gave him a warning, next time his poetics career will be over"

"Really… wow, Sam will be please with that"

"I'm sure she is… when she returns let her know that there will be a classified meeting on the fourteenth of this month"

"Fourteenth sir"

"Yes, why is there a problem colonel?"

"Ah yes sir… Sam is a bride's maid in a wedding sir… Crag Hammond… General George Hammond son wedding is on the fourteenth sir"

"Ah yes, I forgot about that… I'll call you when we can have the meeting with Captain Carter"

"Yes sir"

"How is she doing anyway?"

"Good, she loving it sir" he smile

"I bet she is"

"Sir what are the brass plans for Sam when she finishes and passes the courses?"

"She will be signed somewhere with the most probably here till things are sorted out with NASA, why did you ask?"

"Well after Sam finish this course, we are planning on starting a family before she join NASA, it might be our only chance to have a baby till I don't know when"

"I understand. We just wait and see what happens with the course first"

"Yes sir"

"I'll let you get back to your train colonel" they both saluted then went their separate ways.

When Sam returned home it was the twelfth. She walked inside after an airman dropped her off at home. She and the others got three days of downtime, which she was pleased about. She went and sorted out her bags and put a load of washing through the washing machine then she went to check to see if there was any messages, there was one, she click on to it and listen while she put the kettle on for hot drink

"Colonel O'Neill this is General Ryan calling, can you let Captain Carter know we will have the meeting on the twenty second, tell her it is important" then he hung up.

Sam walked down to the office and picked up her cell phone and called the pentagon.

"Hello General Ryan office"

"Hi it Captain Carter, it General Ryan in"

"Yes Captain, I'll put you through"

"Thanks" Sam waited for few seconds then she heard

"Captain Carter, what can I do for you?"

"Afternoon sir, you left a message on the answering machine for Jack to pass on to me"

She walk back into the kitchen where she started making herself a cup of coffee

"Message oh that message I left that message four days ago"

"Ah… Jack must have been called away on a mission, any way what is so important you want me in Washington for sir"

"There a classified meeting it to do with the bomb you drop in the ocean couple of years ago"

"Yeah… you found something"

"Yes"

"Ok well if it is that important I can fly out tomorrow morning, if you like"

"Sure I'll let the others know"

"Ok I can be there at oh eight hundred if you like"

"Sure, see you then"

"Yes sir"

"Thanks for calling captain, see you in the morning"

"Yes sir" then they hung up.

"It must be big" then she called Peterson air force base

"Afternoon Peterson air force base Sargent Wilson speaking"

"Sargent is General Hammond still on base it captain Carter"

"Yes ma'am he him"

"Can you put me through to him"

"Yes ma'am" then there was two clicks and then one ring

"Hammond"

"Afternoon sir, it Captain Carter sir" she knew he would be smiling

"Afternoon captain, what can I do for you?"

"I need a full fuel jet on the tarmac at oh five thirty in the morning, General Ryan want me at the pentagon at oh eight hundred for classified meeting"

"Consider It done, it must be important"

"Oh it is General, whatever it is it must be big and from the tone of the general voice, it not good"

"Ok, anything else?"

"Black ops when were they called away?"

"Five days ago, I spoke to colonel O'Neill all he said was cold war" Sam thought about it and relies something happen over in Iran where the war is and she wondering if it connected to the meeting tomorrow

"I know what Jack saying, sound like bad news, but we know everything is going to be fine"

"I know"

"I'll let you get back to you paper work sir"

"Ok… Sam"

"See you tomorrow night at the pre wedding dinner"

"OK Sam" then they both hung up.

Sam drinks her drink while thinking more about what Jack said and the classified meeting in the morning. After she had her drink and the cup was rinsed out and was put in the dishwasher, she grabbed her car key and left the house and went into town to get some groceries and dinner, then she returned back home for the night.

That evening, Sam was just about to go to bed when she heard Jack truck pull up in the garage so she walked out to the garage and smiled when she saw him. When Jack saw Sam he smiled back at her as he got out and locked the door. He walk up to her then they both hug and kiss

"Welcome home Jack, miss you"

"It's good to be home, miss you to Sam" they walk back inside and close the door.

"How was the mission?"

"Close, I was almost left behind thanks to Cromwell, the helicopter was starting to take off, so I ran for it and managed to grab the bar and hang onto it. Two of the guys saw me and help me up and into the chopper"

"Just like what happen to me"

"Yeah" Jack took his boots and jacket off.

"I was just about to go to bed when you pulled up"

"Why so early?"

"I got a briefing at eight in the morning at Washington, I spoke to General Ryan this afternoon after he left a message on the answer phone"

"I know about the briefing it was going to be this Saturday till I remind him that you are brides maid at general Hammond son wedding"

"Oh ok, well do you want anything to eat?"

"No thanks Sam I had dinner with the guys, I didn't know you were going to be home tonight"

"Well I am home and I'm going to bed, if you want to join me…"

She looked at him and smiled before turning around and walking to the stairs when she heard him following her. When they were in the bedroom Sam walked into the bathroom and did her normal night routine before going to bed.

When she walked out of the bathroom, Jack was already in bed waiting for her. He watches as she takes off her clothes and puts them on the box, which is at the end of the bed before walking around her side, and climbs into bed and snuggles up to Jack's side and gives him a kiss.

"Sam are you tired?"

"Not at the moment" Jack smile

"Well then I should somehow tire both you and me out… any ideas"

"Yes" then she leaned over and gave him a kiss which became passionate, then made love twice before falling asleep in each other's arms and smiles on their faces.

Early the next morning Sam woke up are her alarm clock went off and turn the bathroom lights on but on low then she rolled over and turn it off then roll back over to Jack and gave him a kiss

"Morning" she said

"Morning" then she gave him a kiss.

"Sorry to wake you"

"It's ok… will you be ok?"

"Yes, I'll go and have a shower… I was thinking when I returned how about taking me out somewhere… anywhere"

"Sure, I'll think of something" she gives him a kiss before getting out of bed and walking into the bathroom and closing the door.

Jack lay there thinking about the last mission, in how close he came on being left behind and what happens when they return back to base. How he had yelled at Cromwell for what he almost did. He was thinking on the flight back home about transferring off the black ops team but he knew that Sam would have a say in the matter and he knew she would ask him if he would be happy to leave or not. He knew he needed to talk to Sam about it, but all he can do is wait till she finishes her training then talk about it. He came out of his thoughts when the bathroom door opened so he turned the wall lights on.

"Hey I thought you would have fallen back to sleep"

"Na how can I sleep when I know that there was a sexy naked blue eye blonde in the shower" he said smiling.

"Funny"

She walked over to her draws and opened them and pulled out her bra and panties set then put them on. Then she put on socks, jeans, shirt and polo jumper. Then she walked back over to her bed side draws and picked up her rings and put them on then she walked around to Jack side of the bed and sat down looking at him.

"What on your mind Jack"

"What do you think…" she looked at him and raised an eyebrow, he knew that look.

"I know you, so spill"

"I was thinking of transferring off black ops"

"Why?"

"I was almost left behind… Cromwell gave the order to take off, just manage to grab the bar and hang on. Two of the guys saw me hanging on, so they help me up and into the helicopter"

"Let me guess he said judgement call"

"Yes" Sam let out her breath.

"Look when I return from the meeting, we will talk about this, ok"

"Sure" She leans over and gave him a kiss

"Don't worry about it, ok, now why don't you get some sleep and we will talk when I return ok?"

"Ok" then they both kiss again before Sam stood up

"Drive carefully"

"I will, love you"

"Love you to Sam" then she turned and walked to the door

"Sweet dreams fly boy" she knew she could make Jack smile.

He watches her walk out the door and partly close it. Jack turned off the lights before he snuggled down and closes his eyes and fell asleep minutes later. Sam walks down to the kitchen, she turns the lights on and walks over and puts the kettle on to make herself a cup of coffee before leaving.

Ten minutes later Sam was in her truck and driving to Peterson air force base. When she got to the front gate the guard smiled when he saw who it was.

"Morning captain, you're up early this morning"

"Thanks, I'm needed in Washington early this morning"

"Ok you can go through"

"Thanks sergeant"

Then Sam drives through the gates and over to where the locker building is. When she got out, she lock her truck up when a jeep showed up

"Captain Carter"

"Yes airman"

"I'm here to take you to your waiting jet ma'am"

"Ok thanks, I'll just go and get geared up"

"Yes ma'am" Sam walked into the warm building and down to the locker room.

Few minutes later she walked out and got into the jeep, then the airmen drove Sam to her waiting jet. When they got there, Sam thanked the airmen before getting out of the jeep and climbing up and into the jet. Sam got her self strap in; then she put her helmet on. Then started up the engines while she spoke to the towel. Couple of minutes later she was in the air just as it was getting light.

Sam enjoyed flying and she hasn't had much time to fly in the past few months because of the training courses she has been doing. When she landed at Andrew air force base the staff there greeted Sam every time she showed up.

"Hi guys how things"

"Good, how about you Sam?"

"Good, I hope there is hot coffee in the mess hall"

"Yes there is"

"Good I'm going grab a drink before getting changed, see you guys later" then she walks over to the mess hall and walks inside.

She saw the personal eating breakfast while talking. Sam walked over and picked up a cup and poured herself-cup of coffee, then the smell made her stomach rumble. So since she got some time she grabbed a plate and got herself some bacon, pancakes and hash browns before walking out of the room with them and down to the locker room where one set of her dress blues are.

On the way she started eating and drinking. When she walked into the locker room there were eight guys getting changed.

"Hey who are you, get out" one of them said Sam look at the guy as she took a mouthful of her coffee

"Excuse me lieutenant I will not get out and you do not speak to an officer like that or I might have you up on charges, am I clear" Sam gave the guy a cold hard look.

Then one of the men who was on the other side of the lockers walked around and smiled when he saw who the voice was. Then he looked at the lieutenant then back to Sam.

"Who are you"

"She is Captain Samantha Carter lieutenant and you better give her respect or she will kick your ass" they both turn to the voice, Sam smiles and stands at attention and salutes which he did in return.

"At easy captain"

Then Sam relaxed and she finished the last of her coffee then put the coffee mug on top of the plate which was on the bench.

"Colonel Thomas, how are you sir"

"I'm good, how are you?"

"Good, so how is the family?"

"Growing, what about you, when are you and Jack going to start?"

"After training sirs"

Sam opens her locker and pulls out her dress blues and hangs them on the outside of the locker and unzips the bag and then removes it.

"Ok how is Jack doing these days?"

"Good he and the guys got back from a rescue mission yesterday, it was a close one from what he told me"

"I heard he had a go at Cromwell"

"Yeah, he told me, he not happy about it"

"I bet, so a meeting today?"

"Yep another interesting classified meeting with the top brass"

"Sounds like fun"

"It is some times" They talk while Sam is getting changed.
