AN: Silly, stupid fluff ball by means of antidote for the other day's angst...which still haunts me!
Summary: Fluff with a capital 'F' ! Sam receives a birthday message from Jack while she is still away and in command of Atlantis. Really pointless 200 word drabble. J/S romance I suppose...if it's possible to categorise this at all that is :) K rated.
Delta 9
It was the sweetest thing she had ever received and was so completely unexpected that she had to read it twice. His words were just so perfect that she could not keep the tears from her eyes. The message was so simple that no-one else would see the truth of what he meant. Jack had sent her a message...a real personal one. The whole thing read:
Encoded message received 23:58 SGA standard time.
Encryption Cypher: Delta 9.
Special Parameters: Col. S. Carter, only.
Carter,
Happy Birthday?
J. O'Neill.
Message file upload complete: 00:01 SGA standard time: 2008/29/12
And that was it, the rest was blank but Sam's heart erupted with joy. It was not the happy birthday, it was the Delta 9. Delta 9 meant only one thing, he had bought her a ring...a diamond one...
Quickly she sent him a message back. He would be waiting and it would take some time to get through all the safety protocols and the IOA screening. All it said was:
Encryption Cypher: Delta 9 Accepted.
To the untrained eye it looked just like a computer glitch, a bounce back from her opening of his communiqué but Jack would know exactly what it was and he would be anything but disappointed.
END
AN: Fluffy, fluffy, fluff, fluff :)
