"Daddy!" Kate excitedly yelled seeing Sam appear in the doorway.
"Hello sweetheart!" Sam hugged his little girl with a grateful smile.
Jack watched Kate with her father and saw a whole new side to her. A side that still had the innocence of a little girl. Jack smiled at finally getting to see it.
After Sam came in, Kate led him towards Jack. "Dad, this is Jack."
"Hello Sergeant Auesten." Jack shook hands with the older man.
To his surprise Sam smiled. "So this is the Jack Kate's told me all about?"
Jack noticed Kate's face going red. "Yes sir." He responded. "I hope everything was good."
"From what I hear, you protected my daughter and care for her very much. That's the type of man I want my Katie to have."
"Thank you sir." Jack was taken aback by the comment.
"Call me Sam. I have all the privates call me that." Sam said with a chuckle, as they all made their way to the living room.
Sam sat in the rocking chair. "Now where's that grandson of mine?"
"Coming right up!" Kate giggled as she picked Jacob up from his play crib. She then placed the little boy in her dad's arms.
"Well hello Jacob! I'm your Papa!" He smiled down at the little boy, who was looking up at him with his eyes wide. "He's changed so much since the last batch of pictures."
"My little boy just keeps growing!" Kate said.
"Soon he'll be an adult and you'll wonder where the last 20 years went. Make sure you two cherish every moment with Jacob."
"We will." Both Jack and Kate said in unison.
Sam laughed again thinking about his daughter's now happy life. I always knew this would happen one day. Thank you Lord for allowing it.
As the day went on, Jack and Sam hit it off very well. They really had a lot in common. Kate loved seeing them being close.
Jack was feeding Jacob, when Sam came to talk to Kate alone in the kitchen.
"I really like Jack, Kate. I think he's the one." Sam admitted.
Kate looked at her dad with her eyes wide, but a smile on her face. "The one?" She teased.
"Let's just say I've already got the image of walking you down the aisle to him."
Kate nodded. "I hope so."
"I just wish Di was here to see you finally have your dreams come true." Sam said saddened.
Kate gave her dad a hug. She knew her father still loved her mom after everything. "I miss mom too. But she can see us."
"I know." He kissed Kate's forehead.
"Take good care of my little girl." Sam teased.
"I will." Jack replied smiling and putting his arm around Kate.
"Bye daddy!" Kate yelled from the doorway as her father got in his car and drove away.
Kate then face Jack. "See! I told you he would like you!" She bent up and kissed him.
Jack kissed her back. "Well, you better be. My mother's coming."
"Is she really that bad?" Kate asked slightly worried.
Jack hesitated. "Well, lets just say she wasn't at my wedding to Sarah. She welcomed Claire and Aaron into the family, but she still bad mouths about Claire's mother Lindsey. Right in front of Claire too."
"Wow." Kate laughed.
"Don't joke Kate. She's like Erica Kane from All My Children, but 30 times worse!"
Kate laughed again, but tomorrow was going to be a very interesting day.
