Sam was doubled over giggling and Jack just stood there glaring at her. This could be very embarrassing. It must be someone they knew or they wouldn't have come into Carter's back yard. If it was Daniel, he would never let him live this one down.
"Oh my god, Jack, do you think they saw anything". She gasped through her laughter.
"Of course they saw something Carter, I just wonder what they saw! Who the hell is it anyway?" He was not happy having their fun and games interrupted.
"I think its Teal'c and Daniel". She whispered, trying to regain control over her giggling.
Meanwhile around the side of the house, three people were discussing who had the honour of checking to see if the current occupants of the house were fit to receive visitors.
Finally the only female amongst them spoke up "God you two are pussy's! I'll go"
"Sam? Sam, are you decent? You've got 30 seconds to get something on, then we're coming in"Mel said
Inside the house, Sam clapped her hand over her mouth "Oh my god, it's Melinda, I'm never going to live this down". Directing her voice towards the back door,
"Ok, Mel can you give us a minute?"
"30 seconds, that's it" came a voice from the backyard.
"Mel?" queried Jack; "You don't mean that friend of yours from Area 51?"
"The same"
"Great, Just great, this just keeps getting better and better" he whined
"Oh come on Jack, its' not that bad, it's been pretty good up until now, and now, it's just funny"
"Yeh, funny that we almost got caught in a very, very compromising position"
With the look on his face, Sam just doubled over giggling again.
30 Seconds later:
"Ok Sam, ready or not, we're coming in" said Melinda as she walked confidently into Sam's house.
"You guys better be decent" Daniel called out behind her
A voice filtered in from the bedroom "as decent as we'll ever be". It was Jack and he was so not happy at being interrupted, he was having fun chasing Sam around the house and the yard. He always liked to play tag!
Sam emerged first from the bedroom. She had thrown on some track pants and T-Shirt. "Mel, it's great to see you, it would've been nice to know you were coming"
"I'll bet" Daniel said under his breath.
"Funny thing about that Sam, I did try to call you yesterday, but you were off world or something so I rang your cell and left a message to let you know that I would be in town today, but obviously you didn't get my message, you must've been too busy to check your messages".
"Um yeh. Oh heck, I've been so busy since I got back yesterday, what with the debriefing and everything. I'm so sorry Mel, but really, It's great to see you" Sam said apologetically.
Jack, still sulking at having their fun and games interrupted, finally made his way out into the living room, grunting an acknowledgement of sorts to the assembled guests.
Daniel and Teal'c just looked at each other, Sam blushed and Mel grinned and then spoke "Good Morning General O'Neill, sleep well"
"What's so good about the morning now Melinda, it was good, real good until we were set upon by 3 uninvited guests"
"JACK", Sam exclaimed
"No, Sam it's ok" ventured Daniel "We all know what Jack can be like when he's interrupted, we tried to call first, as Mel said, but, well we couldn't get a hold of you"
With a waggle of his eyebrows Jack said "Yeh, well as Sam said, we've been really, really busy"
"Urgh, Jack, way too much information" Daniel said with a disgusted look on his face "but we're glad you are Sam have sorted things out"
"I too am happy for you O'Neill, Colonel Carter" Teal'c added.
Mel just stood there glaring at Jack and then looked at Sam and gave her a hug "congratulations Sam, you got your man – finally"
"Thanks guys, we really appreciate it" Sam said
In his best General voice, Jack said "Now if you'll all excuse us, we were having some fun, so get lost"
Looking at him in surprise, Sam exclaimed "JACK!"
"What?" he asked.
"You're being a little rude don't you think?
"Sam you think I'm being rude?"
"Yes I do Jack"
"Listen I think waiting 8 plus years to do this is a little rude, bordering on obscene actually! But never mind me, be my guest, sit back have a drink. I'm going to bed!" and with a pout on his face he stormed off to the bedroom like a little boy who couldn't get his own way leaving Sam a little flustered and embarrassed at his behaviour.
"Sorry everyone, he's um a little…"
"Jack" said Daniel
"Indeed" said Teal'c
"Horny" said Melinda.
Beginning to giggle Sam just said, "yes" before she gave her friends each a hug.
Meanwhile Jack continued to sulk in Sam's room, listening to the sounds of friendship and laughter reaching him through the closed door. Feeling left out and little embarrassed by his earlier behaviour, he quickly showered and dressed and snuck back out into the living room. Sam caught his movement from the corner of her eye, Teal'c heard him open the bedroom door, Daniel didn't notice, as he was too enthralled in his conversation with Melinda. Sam and Teal'c just looked at each other and chose to ignore Jack's attempt at stealth and continued their conversations.
Jack continued on into the living room and sat on the couch arm next to Sam, leaning over, he whispered in her ear. "Sorry about before, I shouldn't have behaved that way"
"It's Ok Jack, I know it's been a long time coming and there's still so much to talk about, lets just enjoy our friends now. We've got ages to talk"
Staring into her crystal blue eyes, his own still darkened by passion; he whispered, "I love you Samantha Carter"
Sam didn't respond, she just leant forward and brushed his lips with her own.
This private conversation did not go un-noticed by their friends. This was the first time they had seen a physical act of emotion between these two. Teal'c nodded, Daniel almost had tears in his eye and Sam's friend Melinda had a big smile on her face. Getting up from her seat next to Sam, she moved over and sat next to Daniel, allowing Jack to take her seat. As Jack stood and took his seat, he reached out and pulled Sam into his arms, holding her to his chest and he proudly smiled at their friends. With the biggest grin on his face he then said "Hey guys, meet MY girlfriend"!.
