CH 180
When they got there, Jack helped Sam back into the wheelchair then he gave Elizabeth a hand taking the shopping inside, then he got his duffle bag and passed it to Sam, then he pushed her into the house.
Once inside Sam shows him which room she is in. While in the doorway Sam made Jack duffle bag and her bag go on to the bed, once done she showed him where the bathroom is. Since he knows, he went to relieve himself while Sam went back to their room. She made the bags move over to the corner of the room then she managed to get out of the chair and onto the bed, then made the chair go over to the corner as well. Then she turned to see Jack in the doorway
"Hey, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to lie down for a while"
"Ok here let me take your shoes off while you take your jacket off"
"Thanks" Jack wan in and crouch down, he took her shoes off while Sam managed to take her jacket off.
"Where do these go?"
"There is a hook inside the closet and shoes go on the box which is in the closet"
"Ok"
He stood up and Sam passed him her jacket, she watched him walk over and open the door, Jack did put them away and he took his shoes off and put them next to Sam before closing the door. Then he returned back to her side and helped her to lie down and put the big pillow that she brought with her under her legs, then he stepped around the bed and bent over and gave her a kiss
"I'll go and give your mum a hand, ok"
"Ok" then he walked out the door and partly closed it. Sam watches him walk out the door before she closes her eyes and relaxes for a while. Jack walks out to where the kitchen is
"Need any help"
"No thanks Jack, Sam resting is she?"
"Yeah, I saw Ann before I left"
"How is she coping?"
"She is tired since Mark transferred and she has been left to take care of the kids"
"I bet she is, I know what it was like but I only had two of them not four"
"True, I suggested that she ask a couple of her friends stay for a while to keep her company and to help her out with the kids"
"That's a good idea"
"Yeah, she said she was going to give them a call tonight and ask them since they were transferred from the pentagon and have been flat hunting"
"Ok any word from Mark?"
"She said he called last night, he misses her and the kids, Ann said she asked for a transfer to the same base as Mark. So won't know till next week if there is an opening if there is, she will be first on the list because of Mark being there"
"Ok, Sam spoke to General Ryan about a married air force couple transferring to the same base at the same time, since she did some research on married couples and showed him what she got, well it was a shocker with the findings"
"What were the findings?"
"Air force couples who have been married for five years or less have been transferred to and hardly seen each other in five years, ninety percent don't reach their fifth wedding anniversary whereas couples who have been married for the same time and transferred to the same base. Only ten percent divorce another one where twenty percent of couples, one or both leave the service"
"Wow, that is high"
"It is, Sam gave him the same for couples who have been married for ten years, fifteen and twenty years. Sam told him if he wants the best and brightest air force couples to stay in the air force, try to get them on the same base or bases like the Colorado spring where there are two bases, academy and NORAD. It gave him something to think about"
"That Sam for ya, she thinks with her heart and head"
"True… why don't you go and spend some time with Sam"
"Thanks, I'm only here till Sunday then I have to fly back to Colorado"
"I'm sure Sam will understand"
"I know but I'll be back here next weekend"
"The wedding I know, go on"
"Thanks" then he walked back down to Sam's room.
He opened the door and walked in and closed it behind him. He smiled when he saw her looking at him. He walked around to the other side of the bed and lay down on it and lean over and gave Sam a kiss
"I heard what you and mum were talking about"
"Have you now" he started undoing the buttons of her overall while he kissed her neck
"Ah ha, would you like to know why I spoke to him and not the chief of staff?" Jack pushes the overalls down and started unbuttoning her shirt
"Why the general Sam?"
"Cause of his wife" Jack moved so he could look at her
"His wife?" he raised an eyebrow
"Yes, we talked about his wife and he asked me not to tell anyone except for you"
"Ok, I'm listening" he carries on unbuttoning Sam shirt while Sam carries on talking
"His wife left the airforce just after she was promoted to Major, they were married for five years, she was a captain and a doctor and he was a major and a patient during the sixties. He was shot in the leg and chest when she operated on him. She looked after him till he was returning home, he only had a week left in his tour when he was shot. After he returned back and was on his feet managing to track down the captain, she was engaged to another air force officer at the time. Till she returns to find out that her fiance got married three months before her return and the guy wife Rachel is five months pregnant, they went to Las vegas to get married before he shipped out to Nam"
"That stinks"
"I know when the major called her, she was crying so he asked where she lived, she told him so he went around and the talk, she told him about what happened, her ex-fiance ship out a week before her return"
"So they got together and got married?"
"Yes they wrote to each other for two years before they were based here in Washington, where they started dating for a year then they got engaged and married three months later. There were in Washington for five years before he was transferred some place else. Just after his transfer she found out she was pregnant so they both spoke and she left the air force and went where he went. She works in air force hospitals as a civilian since they were short staff because of the amount of wounded that return back, she helps the wounded get better. but she stopped when she was seven months pregnant and returned when their daughter was six months old. She helps save lives and marriages and even plays matchmaker" Jack smiles at that last comment. He was massaging her stomach while she was talking.
"So how long were they apart before she was quiet?"
"Three months, first they refused her transfer so she was quiet"
"AH and her Ex?" Sam face fell
"He died a week before his wife gave birth to twin girls" Jack looked at her in shock
"What happened?"
"Ambush, the whole platoon was wiped out except for one, he pretended to be dead even though he was shot. He waited for half an hour before he was able to crawl over to where the radio man was and called it in before he lost consensus, he was the only survivor"
"What happened to him?"
"He was ship back here, he was shot in the spine, he can't walk, his girlfriend left him after she found out that he couldn't walk. But he was able to attend all the funerals and he spoke to Rachel afterwards and got to meet the girls, they became close friends' '
"What happened to them?"
"They got married five years later and they heard about artificial insemination but it was only on trial and didn't know if it would work or not, so they called and spoke to the doctor, he ran some tests and they were one of the test subjects"
"And did it work for them?"
"Nine months later they had a girl two years later they had another girl two years later twin boys" she said smiling
"Wow, I suppose the doctor was happy?"
"Yep, the doctor decided to help the ones who wanted to have a family who can't because the husband or wife is in the wheelchair, he wanted to help give them what they wanted"
"Wow at least the doctor made each couple happy"
"Yep some people were against what he was doing, as I remember from my studies the doctor was murdered, they got the guy he is serving life in prison"
"Wow so someone else carry on with his work?"
"Yep and now there are hundreds of thousands of couples today who have now got a family because of him"
"Amazing"
"I know, so now you know"
"Thanks for telling me Sam"
"Your welcome," he leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss.
When Jacob walked in the door an hour and half-later Elizabeth walked out to great Jacob
"How was your day?"
"Busy, how was yours and Sam?"
"Good, why don't you go and get change, and I'll show you what Sam and Jack brought this afternoon." Jacob looked at her
"Jack… he here?"
"Yes fly in this morning, he is with Sam now"
"Ok" he walked down to the master bedroom and he was undoing his buttons on his shirt and losing his tie. He walked past Sam's bedroom door when he stop when he heard
"Mmm Jack that feels so good" Sam said moaning
"How about if it does this"
"Oh Jack, you sure are good with your hands"
"That's good, how about this?"
"Mmm that feels wonderful" then Sam laughed
"Jack you know that is ticklish"
"I know, I can't be myself" then Sam laughed
"Jack O'Neill stop right now or you won't be massaging my feet and ankles for a month, I'll get someone else to do it"
"You wouldn't dear"
"Your choice fly boy"
Jacob relaxes and walks down to the bedroom shaking his head "He was massaging her feet, what was I thinking" he said to himself.
After he was changed he walked past the bedroom door it was open, he could hear voices in the living room, she when he walked in Elizabeth was laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Dad we knew you were listening outside our door" Sam said smiling Jacob eyes widen
"What, you were…"
"Jack was massaging my feet when you walked past our door"
"And the noises?"
"They were real but I said it louder so you could hear" She said with a grin.
"Did you realize what I was thinking?"
"Yes but if you were thinking that, there would have been a lot more noises"
"You trick me" they all laugh
"Well I'm not little any more"
"Don't i know it" he said, shaking his head.
"Here let us show you what we brought today"
Sam and Jack showed Jacob what they brought. When they got to the last bag, Jack pulled each top out and passed them to Sam, he pulled the first one out and passed it to Sam, when she saw it says 'My grand dad is in the air force' she smiled and turned it around
"Well dad what do you think" she passes it to him and he laughs
"This is a good one Sam"
Sam and Jack showed Jacob all the different ones, and he laugh at the different ones there are.
"Where on earth did you get these from?"
"Baby and maternity shop in the mall" Elizabeth said
"Any chance of getting one of these"
"Sure"
"Good when you do, give it to George Hammond"
"Ah why?" Jacob smiled
"Carol is pregnant, two months long, they are hoping for a boy since George already has four granddaughters"
"Ah, sure" they talk for ten minutes then they all sit down to dinner.
Then afterwards Jack helped Elizabeth with the dishes, then they watched a movie before they went to bed for the night.
