CH 171
Sam walked back to her wagon and got in and wined down the windows so a cool breeze blew through the wagon while she waited for Jack. When Sam saw Jack twenty minutes later they both grin, once he was in the wagon he gave Sam a kiss
"Where would you like to go for lunch Jack?"
"How about that café we went to few weeks ago"
"Sounds good to me"
Sam starts the truck up and then she drives them into town. When Sam found a good spot just outside the café, She parked her wagon and they both got out and Sam locked the doors. They walked inside and got what they wanted for lunch and Jack paid for it, then they walked over to a table where they put their trays down then they sat down and started eating their lunch while they talked.
"Sam, what do you feel like doing after lunch?" Sam looked at him and smile
"We can start looking at different baby things since we only got couple of days off before returning back to work on Monday morning"
"True… why not" he smiled back at her.
When they finish their lunch, Jack drives them to 'baby 'R' us' . They walk in and look around at what they got in the shop. They decided to buy some things for the time being. They brought green, yellow, pink and blue baby blankets, jump suits, bibs, cotton diapers, stars and moon music mobile and baby bottles.
While Sam was looking at what they got, Jack walked back to the front doors and got a trolley then return. They chose everything together, when they got what they wanted to get for starts, they walked up to the counter where a woman added everything up and Jack paid for them. Few minutes later they were back in Sam wagon heading home.
When they got home, they took the bags inside and up to the room that is going to be the nursery. Once everything was done Sam walked into their bedroom and lay on the bed. Jack walk in and over to her, he sat down looking at her
"Tired"
"Yeah I have been lately, it all part of being pregnant"
"Ok is there anything you would like to have when you wake up?" Sam smile
"Yes… strawberry flavour milk since I got to cut back on chocolate for a while"
"Ok what about snacks?"
"Cold chicken pieces, there is some in the fridge, I have that and coleslaw and sweet chilli sauce" Jack look at her
"Sweet chilli sauce?"
"Yep I cut much meat off the bones and I dip them in the sauce"
"Ah… have we got any in the fridge?"
"Four bottles" she said smiling
"Ok, well why don't you get some rest sweetheart while I'll go and take care of the washing"
"Ok" he bends over and gives her a kiss before standing up and watching her close her eyes and falling asleep seconds later.
Jack walked out the door and walked down to the laundry room to take care of the washing then he went into the kitchen to see what Sam brought.
He opens up the pantry to see packets of potato chips, nuts, candy and other junk food. He saw healthy food in there as well. He closed the doors, then walked over to the fridge and opened it. He saw the barrel of chicken in the fridge, coleslaw, and a bottle of sweet chilli sauce.
He saw three bottles of strawberry and banana flavour milk in the door with yogurt, milk, apple and orange juice. He saw other normal items in the fridge, including beer, which he wondered how Sam managed to buy beer and who from.
He closed the door and looked around the kitchen to see a fruit bowl fill of different fruits. He knew Sam loved her fruits and vegetables. He walk outside to see the pool cleaner doing his daily job, he turn to see Jack walking over to him
"Afternoon Jeff"
"Afternoon Jack, where Sam?"
"Resting"
"Ah, I heard about the mission, sounds like you guys were lucky"
"Yeah, we were"
"How Sam mood swings?"
"She hasn't had any ant the moment"
"Oh, ok when she dose, look out, I know what it like, my wife went through it twice"
"Well I know Sam and I know ways of cheering her up"
"Good luck" "thanks, I'll let you get back to it"
"Almost finish any way"
"Ok" Jack turned and walked back into the house to check on the washing. Later that afternoon Jack was sitting at the breakfast bar when Sam walk in
"Hey, enjoy your nap"
"Yes I did thanks"
Jack watches Sam as she gets her snacks out and puts them on the breakfast bar before sitting down and starting eating. Jack smiles knowing that Sam is happy. She turned and smiled while she was eating some of the coleslaw. When she had enough Sam clean up and put the remaining coleslaw, chicken, flavour milk and sauce back into the fridge then she clean up then turn to Jack
"Feeling better" then Sam let out a burp, she cover her mouth
"Sorry"
"Better?"
"Yes much better kids are happy… for now"
"That's good, so what would you like to do now?"
"Go for a walk"
"Want some company?"
"Sure"
They both walk to the front door and put their sandals on then they walk out the door and start walking down their driveway then onto the foot path towards the park. Jack told Sam about what happened on the mission, she knew every time they went for a walk after he had been back from a mission, it helped him relax and to open up to Sam about what happened since she got full clearance.
When they got to the park they walked over to a tree and sat down. Jack sat down, leaning against it with Sam between his legs resting her back against his chest. They were in the shade talking and watching kids play not far from where they were.
While they were talking, Sam got Jack's hand and moved it till it was over her small bump, she knew he would be smiling when he felt the twins move under his hand, he kissed the back of her head.
"Sam you sure know how to cheer me up"
"It's called teamwork Jack" she turned so she could look at him, he leaned over and gave her a kiss.
"I like teamwork, especially if it you and me"
"Same here"
Then she turned and looked at the kids and adults, who were playing, and then she looked around and smiled when she spotted something.
"Jack, have you got your wallet with you?"
"Yes, why?"
"I'm craving for a strawberry ice cream" Jack look around and saw the ice cream wagon
"Ice cream you want, ice cream you get"
Sam sat ford so Jack could stand up and walk over to where the ice cream wagon was. Sam watches Jack and she put her hand on her stomach thinking about what Jack said while on their honeymoon
*Flash back*
"Jack, did your grandparents ever tell you about what cravings your mother went through while she was carrying you?"
"Yes, I was thirteen years old when I asked"
"And what were they?"
"Pickles, peanut butter and banana sandwiches"
"Ewe, that gross" Jack laugh
"How do you think my grandparents feel about that"
"Gross"
"Yes, what about you Sam?"
"Well when mum was carrying me it was strawberry thick shakes and strawberry bubblegum… with mark it was tomatoes and cream cheese sandwiches"
"Well that sure was different with dad it was strawberries any thing to do with strawberries"
"Just like me"
"Yeah, just like you" then they kiss
*End of flashback*
"Hey are you ok Sam "
Sam blink then look up to see Jack looking at her with two ice creams in hand
"What… sorry, I was thinking" he bends over and passes Sam her ice cream
"Thanks" then she sat down next to her.
"Care to tell me what you were thinking about Sam?" she was licking her ice cream
"Cravings" he turned and looked at her
"Cravings?"
"Yes, it seems that our kids got the same cravings as your father and I had" Jack through about it
"Strawberries?"
"Yep"
"Well I notice strawberries and strawberry milk in the fridge and strawberry ice cream in the freezer"
"Well there you go"
"Oh and strawberry jam and peanut butter in the pantry?"
"I like it in the morning on toast… together" Jack raised an eyebrow at her
"Together"
"Yep… of and the yogurt is strawberry also"
"Ah" they talk while enjoying their ice creams.
When finished they stood up and started walking back to the house with their arms around each other. When they got home, Jack got them a cold drink and they sat outside enjoying their drinks while talking some more.
Later that evening, they had a barbecue steak for dinner. While Jack was cooking that and potatoes, Sam was busy in the kitchen making a salad to go with it. When it was cooked, they ate their dinner outside while they talked some more about the nursery.
Later that night Sam woke up, she was hot even with a sheet over her and the fan was going, it was still hot.
"Sam, what's wrong?"
"Hot"
"Yeah I notice it to, I was up just before to check on the temperature, hundred degrees that just outside"
Sam got up and out of bed, she walk in to the bathroom so she could relieve herself then walk back out again
"I got an idea, lets go got a skinny dip"
"Good idea" then he got up and they open the back door when the phone rings, so Sam walk over to answer it
"Carter"
"Hey Sam it Mark, I hope I didn't wake you?"
"No is everything ok?"
"Yeah it's just hot… Ann and I were wondering if we could come over for a swim to cool down?" Sam smile while looking at Jack, he nodded
"Sure, we were thinking the same thing, bring the kids over also"
"Thanks Sam"
"See you guys soon" then she hung up
"Well we better wear our swimsuits" Jack said
"Yeah… for now" She said smiling.
They walk to their draws to get their swimsuits and put them on. Then they grab a couple of towels then they walk out the double French doors and on to the roof. They walk down the steps as the lights are turned on as they walk over to the pool. They put the towels over chairs then they both dived in. when they surface they both hug and kiss
"This feels wonderful Jack"
"I know" they both kiss
"Jack"
"Yes sam"
"It a shame we not alone"
"Why?"
"Cause" she gave him a kiss
"I'm feeling horny"
"Well let see what I can do for now"
Sam was pleased she was wearing a bikini, because Jack's hand went down the bottom half and between her legs. They both kissed till he heard her moaning. He knew how she loved it and he loved to watch her go over the edge as she screamed out his name. When he removes his hands and wraps his arms around her, she look at him with a smile on her face, she gave him a kiss
"Jack thank you"
"Your welcome… will that do for now?"
"For now" the both kiss and at the same time Sam put her hand down his shorts
"Samantha Carter O'Neill what are you think you are doing"
"What do you think"
She gave him a kiss while having fun till Mark and the family showed up in the van. When Mark and the family walk around the back of the house they could see Jack and Sam hugging and kissing
"Hey" they turn and smile at Mark and the family.
"Come on in, it is so cool" Sam said the triples walk over to the edge of the pool where Jack and sam are
"Jump" Sam, said that then they jumped in.
Jack held on to Jo and MJ while Sam was holding onto Hannah.
"Come on in mummy, daddy" MJ called out
Mark walked to the edge and dived in. When he surfaced he shook his head then walked over to the edge of the pool where Ann passed John to Mark. Soon as John was in the cool water he started splashing around
"John enjoying himself" Sam said
"Yes, I remember you were like that to at his age"
"Well now you know where he gets it from"
"Funny"
