Okay, I just wanted to clear a minor mess up. In chapter 4 the last sentence was: 'Maybe it's time for a change.' When I typed this, I wasn't…finished. It was like a partial thought, well, I finished it in my head, but I didn't transfer it to 'paper.' What I meant was that maybe it was time for a change as far as Hanson goes. Sam is still and will still be on Sg-1.

Chapter 5

Everyone was still preoccupied with their temporary reassignments. Carter finished up with her projects earlier than expected. She decided to leave almost on time for once. Gathering her things, she closes up and heads out to her car.

Meeting little interruptions, Carter ignites the car and exits Cheyenne Mountain. It was near pitch black, and as Carter continued down the road, she noticed rather quickly that her head lights weren't lit. Moments passed and smoke was visible, floating from the hood.

Carter's risked worse, so she continued on, gambling her arrival home at a decent and convenient hour. All of a sudden the engine started kicking violently. As if it were throwing up. Giving in to reason, Sam pulled the car along the deserted road. Stepping out the car, it was clear the smoking wasn't coming to a stop anytime soon.

Frustrated, Sam stepped out of the car and took a few paces. Going through her bag, she realized she left her cell phone some unknown place. She was faced with few options. Either she would walk the long distance to the nearest gas station which was anything but near, or wait for a passing car which was likely to take just as long as walking to the gas station. She chose the latter option.

Leaning against her car, Carter impatiently waited for a car to pass. Luckily enough only twenty minutes had passed until a jeep came, slowing to a halt. The driver pulled up to park in front of Carter's lifeless car.

Sighing, Carter walked up to meet him. Shockingly enough, she saw Captain Jonas Hanson. With little choice, Carter greeted Hanson.

"So, you got off duty and decided to stalk me Hanson?" an involuntary smile crept into the edges of Carter's mouth before she had the chance to squash it.

Hanson opened up the door and hopped down. "Believe it or not I actually have better things to do with my time….ok, that's a lie actually. I have nothing to do here yet. But, I do pass this way to my hotel."

"Hotel?"

"Haven't had time to look at any houses or apartments yet. So, your car looks pretty hopeless. You want a lift or not?" Hanson suggested nonchalantly.

Carter was mulling this over in her head. If she accepted, he would know her residence, but she didn't want to stay out in the middle of nowhere either. She's handled the Goau'ld and Unas and worse, Hanson should be like a little girl compared to that if he reverted to his old, maybe his normal, self.

"Fine. I'll take the ride. Thanks."

Aside from giving directions, the ride was filled with tension and awkward moments. They finally arrived at Sam's house. Carter opened the door and for some reason, hesitation was heavily present. She turned to Hanson and choice words that surprised her.

"Um, Jonas, you want to come in for coffee maybe? You know, a kinda thanks."

"Seeing as were on a first name basis, Sam, I'd love to. And I'm glad you're warming up to me."

And with that, they entered into the house. Coffee was rationed out and the two sat down to a tv that neither were watching.

Small, obligatory words were exchanged and somehow Jonas and Sam turned to nostalgic memories. The good ones that seemed few and far between. Laughter broke out surprisingly enough. And it came as though second nature, not only to Jonas, but to Sam as well.

"We could reconcile so beautifully Samantha. We could find what made us fall in love easily. I see it in your eyes. Little has changed. Only, you are stronger and more beautiful than I could imagine. And I am…well, more stable and I believe I'm ready to be the man I should have been long ago."

Looking into his eyes, Sam sees something, realizes something new and unexpected. For some reason, maybe blind hope, Sam thought that she saw a glimpse of the Jonas of her better past. A deep feeling washed over her. She could trust him again, she could love him again. She reckoned a part of her always would.

"I think you are speaking the truth Jonas. And, and I'm willing to give you another chance."

Jonas smiled and leaned closer to Sam. "Is it alright for me to kiss you?"

Surely that was some sign of his proclaimed change. In the past he would have just taken what he desired without further thought or hesitation.

"Alright."

Jonas carried through with the act. As if possessed, Sam reached her arms around him, pulling Jonas further on her. Taking this as a sign, Jonas progressed with his intentions. Laying completely on the couch, Jonas completely detached himself from their passionate kiss.

"Is this okay, or are you uncomfortable?"

Sam smiles with an ever hopeful glint in her eyes, "It's more than okay, Jonas."

And with that, the previously unspoken relationship was fully reignited.

The episode where Sam first meets Martouf came on tonight. Isn't Martouf just…perfect? And then Daniel had to ruin their 'moment' well, possible moment. Lol. Oh and this chapter is uncharacteristically long and future chapters will remain in the 500-700 word frame. Hum…another review? Oh and if you're wondering…Sam and Hanson did the horizontal tango, but their…dance number…won't continue for too long. Maybe just one or two chapters….maybe. Or it could be permanent and I'll change the summary to S/H instead of J/S…muahahaha! HA!
