"Sir," Sam said answering her front door.

"Hey. Sorry to just show up at your house like this."

"What's going on?"

"I was a little worried about you, you didn't show up to work today."

"Yeah I was going to call, I was having a rough morning… I got a letter in the mail for Pete." She lied knowing she couldn't tell him the truth.

"Oh, I understand." He looked at the ground not sure what else to say. "That must be rough."

"Yeah." she agreed, also unsure what to say. "Do you wanna come in? You came all the way out here you should at least come in and have a beer."

"Yeah that'd be nice." He said stepping inside. While Sam walked to the kitchen to get a couple beers Jack walked to the couch working up the nerve to say what he actually came here to say. "I have a confession," Jack said when Sam walked into the room and handed him his beer.

"OK…." She said nervously sitting down next to him.

"I didn't just come here to see if you were ok I wanted to talk to you about something-"

"I have a confession too." She said cutting him off. "I heard you talking to Daniel yesterday." She blurt out.

"Oh… So I guess you know what I wanted to talk about then." He said staring at the beer in his hands.

"Yeah…." Sam said not sure what else to do.

"You know what, I shouldn't have come this is stupid." He said standing up.

"No." She said jumping up. "It's not stupid… It's just a little fast that's all." Sam said softly.

"How much did you hear yesterday?" Jack asked rubbing his neck and sitting back down.

"Enough." She said copying his actions and sitting down next to him.

"Right…." He waited for her to say something more but she didn't. "This is really awkward." He finally said.

"Yeah a little."

"So I take it you heard me… you know…. say how I…. you know... Feel about you." Jack stuttered out.

"Yeah I heard that." She bit her lip.

"So?" He asked blowing out some air.

"I don't know." She said.

"You don't know? I say I'm in love with you and you say you don't know?"

"I'm sorry it's just so soon and so complicated and so-"

"I get it, I made a mistake coming today I should go." He said standing up again.

"No please don't." She grabbed his arm. "Don't go." She begged looking up into his eyes.

"Why?" He asked already knowing why but still wanting to hear her say it.

"Because I think I might…." She paused unable to stay anything else. She tried to finish her sentence but nothing else would come out she just sat there gagging on air.

Jack let a half smile slip out and sat back down. "Ok I'll stay." He pulled his arm away. "So what do we do now?" He asked.

"I don't know." She admitted.

"You don't have a plan? What is this? The twilight zone?" He joked. She didn't smile. "I was kidding."

"Can I tell you something?" She asked.

"Sureeee" He said worried about what kind of confession would make her feel like she needs to ask to tell him.

"I do like you… a lot… but I'm scared because… well because…" She sighed. "Because I'm cursed."

"Carter, if you don't want to be with me just say it." Jacks said a little offended she would make up such a ridiculous excuse.

"I do want to be with you, I really do." She reassured him. "But I really am cursed. You think I'm crazy don't you?" She laughed a little knowing how crazy she sounded.

"A little." He admitted,

"It's ok, I thought I was too at first, but then it kept happening. I even joked about it with Pete, and look what happened to him."

"You're serious right now?" He asked as she nodded. "I thought you don't believe in curses."

"I don't. But logically… it's the only answer."

"Let me get this straight… the only logical answer is a curse?"

Sam shrugged "Yes. I mean how else could you explaining me losing everyone close to me."

"You haven't lost everyone-"

"Every man I have feelings for dies." She said "Martouf, Jonas Hanson, Narim , Joseph." She listed them all. "And now of course there's Pete."

"Oh, for crying out loud, Carter, you can't blame yourself for that."

"Really? Do you know what he was doing before his accident?" She asked knowing he didn't. "Getting milk… for me. I needed milk for dinner and I refused to make anything else so I made him go and get it…. If I wouldn't have-" Her eyes were full of tears.

"Come on Carter, don't say that. You know that's not true. And even worse that's a major cliché and you know how I feel about those." He joked again making her half smile. "That wasn't your fault-none of it was. They were all just…"

"Coincidences?" She said. "That's what Cassie said. "

"Cassie is a smart young lady." Jack smiled making Sam laugh and remember what else Cassie said. "What?" He asked confused.

"It's just, after she said that it was coincidence she changed her mind and said the universe was trying to get us together." Sam laughed a little more.

"Seems about as plausible as your cursed theory." Jack said.

Sam laughed and shook her head. "She was just being goofy."

"I don't know, haven't you ever gotten the feeling we were just supposed to be together?" He asked grabbing her hand. "Just think about all those other alternate realities we've come across, the me and you in those worlds always seemed to be together."

"We've only come across two alternate realities." She reminded him.

"Yes but we were engaged in one and married in the other."

Sam thought for a second. "You died in those too." She reminded him again. "Even the alternate me's are cursed." Jack laughed realizing he couldn't convince her she wasn't cursed. "Why is that funny?" she asked.

"Because I don't think you really believe you're cursed, I think you're just using that as an excuse to not deal with your feelings for me."

"Are you trying to use reverse psychology on me?" Sam smiled.

"Is it working?"

Sam laughed. "No."

"Then no I'm not." He smiled at her.

"Sir, if we do this… and if something happens…"

"Nothing's going to happen."

"But if it does,"

"Then it's another horrible coincidence that's not your fault. If anything, I'd more to blame. I'm the one pushing so hard for this relationship." He smiled knowing he had finally talked her out of this curse nonsense. She smiled back not sure what else to say. "So?" He asked like he did at the beginning of the conversation.

"So" she smiled and shrugged.

"What are we going to do about the curse?"

"Maybe we can try exploring Cassie's theory." Sam smiled as she kissed him.
