Chapter 21:

Sam was talking with a few of the female Jaffa, and sense Jack or Ares has a queen, they all dreamt of being his other half, some even swore they had feelings for him. One even said: "I always vowed to be on guard around men, but His Lordship…" she was already in dream land just by thinking of him. Sam was hell jealous. Jack was hers! And she was his!

Jack approached the group, the women slightly giggled at his sudden approach. Jack smiled at them, but he turned to Sam. "Carter, can we talk, in private?" he asked. The women, left and Sam and Jack were all alone. "Jack." She said. Jack smiled: "Sam, can I ask you something?".

Sam nods. "Of course.". Jack looks at her. "Why me?". Sam understood his question perfectly. He wanted to know why she chose him over any other younger men. She smiled her 1 000 000 watt smile, which she always saves for him. "Because you were the first man see me for me.".

Jack loved the way she said it, it made him kiss her on her soft, pick, smooth, sweet lips. She returned the kiss and said: "And you are a champion in bed.". Jack laughed at the last comment. "Well, you get to have two guys at the same time, you're lucky.". Sam knew the second guy he was pointing at was Ares, but she didn't mind, Ares never interfered, he always let them get together. And if Jack is in danger, he will always watch his back.

Jack then said: "Tonight, meet me at the stream. There is something I want to do.". Sam smiled. "I am curious, what do you have in mind?" she asked. Jack smirked at her. "It's a surprise.". Sam kissed him and said: "I don't like surprises. They always make me impatient.". Jack chuckled lowly. "Well, I better make sure no one talks.". Jack kisses her one more time before he turns around. A group of Jaffa calling him over for a spar.

The Jaffa according to Sam were all unmarried, and a part of their "advertisement" of themselves, they will duel shirtless, but a bandage will be placed over the pouch where the symbiote is. Sam didn't care, if it meant she could admire Jack's naked torso, she will watch.

Jack walked up to his fellow warriors. They encouraged him to take his shirt off first. It was like they forgot for a second he was their leader, but Jack obliged and took his shirt off. The Jaffa cheered as they did the same. The woman bundled at the area.

Jack grabbed a wooden training staff. The woman all made those screams when he waved at them. Sam moved closer to the crowd. Jack saw her and winked. He twirled the staff in his fingers a bit. "Let's have some fun Ares.". Ares spoke and was clearly excited. "Let's.".

The first Jaffa struck, Jack dropped backwards his shoulders were inches from the mat, Jack's legs were bent and that was all that was keeping him from falling. He then straighten himself and stood ready. "Let's dance.".

Two attacked from both his sides. Jack only did a backflip and the Jaffa ran into each other. Another two attacked him. Jack blocked their attacks and then swept them off of their feet. The last guy, was clearly tougher then the rest. He attacked, hit Jack with his wooden sword twice.

Jack on the other hand was quicker. He struck ones, in the gut, then behind the knee, then he roundhouse kicked the guy over. The crowd that formed cheered and Jack helped his opponents up. They bowed and went to the women who approached them.

Many surrounded Jack, cheering and all trying to touch his taunt muscles. But Jack slipped past and found Sam. He cupped her face there and kissed her deep. Sam's hands swept over his body all the way down his ass. Many women started crying for some silly reason.

(Too cheesy?).

Jack whispered in her ear. "Looks like I found my queen.".

Sam smiled at the thought, she was in a way his queen, while he was her king. And that night, he life will change forever.

Jack was at the stream, the stars were glimmering. He was rehearsing something, but he got interrupted when Sam appeared from behind a tree. Somehow, she managed to bring a dress along for the trip, which she was wearing. It was a light blue that reflected the water of the stream. "Beautiful." Jack told her.

Jack walked to her. "Sam, I have been thinking, for the past few years, I was a wreck, but you changed that, you changed me. You made me realize I was meant to be happy, and I want to be happy, and the only person who can do that… is you. Therefor." He got on his knee and pulled a small box out of his pocket. He opened it to reveal a ring.

A soft rose gold ring that matched her lips. The sapphire stone matching her eyes and the water. The rose gold glimmered under the stars. "Samantha Carter, will you marry me?" he asked.

This wasn't a surprise for Sam, this was a dream come true. She nods, unable to say the words. Jack smiled. He got up and placed the ring on her finger. He kissed her as he slipped on the ring.

"If I am to marry you, I want you to be at my side." She said. Jack smiles at her. "Always.".
