A/N:Thank you everyone for continuing to read and review! It's been a busy time right now so I am trying to update as quickly as the ideas come to my head.

Also the Italics is Sam's dream. Enjoy.

Sam's POV

Sam made it as far as her car before the tears began to fall. 'I can't believe this is happening' she said to herself. She managed to unlock the door and slowly slip inside, through the falling tears she continued to stare at the closed front door hoping that just maybe Jack would come after her. But he didn't, and after a few minutes she finally started the car and left, never looking back.

Sam didn't drive straight home, she sighed at the thought of going home. 'Home to what' she said to herself. 'Home to an empty lonely house, no husband, no children, just empty' she said. She continued to drive as thoughts ran through her head. The thought of a husband kept coming back to her, especially since there was Pete. But the thought of actually marrying Pete made the cringed more than it did smile. He was a nice guy and they had fun together, but in all honesty when it came down to it, he wasn't Jack. The tears suddenly stopped and a smile appeared on Sam's face, 'Mr. and Mrs. Jack O'Neill….Samantha O'Neill' she thought, they sounded perfect together. The thought of getting married and possibly having kids never crossed Sam's mind when she first joined the Air Force, she was focused on a career and the thought of trying to balance a family didn't seem to fit it, at least not until she started working with Jack O'Neill. The more time they spent together and the closer they became the more she wanted it, but in reality it was probably never going to happen. At this point in both their lives, with their military careers, the only place Sam seemed to truly be happy was in her dreams. She had lost count how many nights she had gone to sleep, weather at home, on base or off world that when she closed her eyes she dreamt of being happy with Jack. The thought of them being married and having children, a boy and a girl, was something she always looked forward too when she closed her eyes. Just then a few tears made their way and fell from Sam's eyes, last night with Jack as he held her in his arms she had a similar dream although this time it seemed all too real.

"Good morning" Jack whispered as he placed a soft kiss on Sam's forehead.

"Morning…how long have you been up?" she asked.

"No long" Jack lied. "Coffee?" he asks as he slowly began to get up from the bed, but instead is pulled back down.

"Not yet. I want to stay like this for a bit longer" she says.

"Sam, you know I'd love to stay like this forever but I actually really need to pee first" he said with a chuckle as he feels Sam releasing him from her grasp.

"Fine" she whined.

As Sam watched Jack head towards the bathroom she too got up from the bed and headed down the hall, opening the door to the first bedroom she hears a faint cry coming from it.

"Hey baby girl, you're awake early aren't you" whispered Sam as she reached down into the crib to pick up the fussing baby.

Sam held the baby in her arms soothing her back as she slightly paces in the room but only until she senses someone watching her.

"Look who it is" Sam says as she holds the baby to see the figure in the doorway. "It's daddy."

Jack pushes himself off the doorframe and approaches the two girls.

"There's my little angel. Good morning Grace." whispers Jack as he places a soft kiss on Grace's forehead.

"You want me to take her while you get dressed?" asked Jack.

"Sure. Can you get her bottle ready….and maybe put on that coffee?" asks Sam as she hands Grace to Jack.

"Not a problem" he answers as he places a soft kiss on Sam's lips and then heads to the kitchen holding his daughter.

"Have you checked on Jake yet?" Jack asked as he entered the hallway. "No not yet" called Sam from the bathroom.

"Come on sweetie, let's go and see if Jake is awake yet" whispered Jack as he carried his daughter down the hall to the third bedroom.

Slowly opening the door Jack peeked his head inside and smiled at what he saw. "Hey Jake"

"Dad!" The young boy called as he ran towards his father and hugged his legs.

"Hey buddy, you been up long?" Jack asked his son.

"Nope. I just wanted to play with my toys for a little bit first" answered Jake.

"Well if you're hungry you can come with me and your sister and we'll make some oatmeal?" said Jack as he turned toward the hallway.

"Yah!" yelled Jake as he went running down the hallway past his sister and father into the kitchen.

When Sam finally emerged from the bathroom she found Jake eating his oatmeal, and Jack feeding Grace at the table. "Coffee's ready Hun" said Jack as he continued feeding Grace.

Sam slowly walked towards Jake and placed a kiss on top his head, "Good Morning sweetie" she said.

"Morning mommy" he answered with a mouth full of oatmeal.

"Jake, you know better than to talk with your mouth full" said Sam as she looked at her son.

Swallowing his food Jake looked at his other, "Sorry mommy. Good morning" he said with a smile.

"That's better" said Sam.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you Jack O'Neill and what a great father you are?" said Sam as she walked behind Jack and wrapped her arms around him and placed a kiss on his cheek.

Jack placed Grace's food on the table and turned to his wife, pulling her down into his lap he smiled. "Yes, but you know I never grow tired of it. I love you too." He said as she placed a passionate kiss on her lips.

"Ewwwww" was all they both heard as they pulled apart, smiling.

"Only your son" said Sam as she and Jack both looked at their son.

"Thank you Sam" Jack said as he turned to face her again with his smile gone.

"For what?" she asked.

"For this, for giving me a second chance after everything."

"Jack O'Neill if there is anything that I have learnt about you it's that you are worth waiting for. I wouldn't have this any other way. I love you."

Sam smiled remembering the dream she had as she came back to reality, it was almost too good to be true. But if in her dreams was the only place where she and Jack could be happy, then maybe sleeping forever was a choice she should consider.
