Warning! Warning! SweetXSacrifice loves Sam whumping! Be Prepared!

Chapter 19

It took 9 hours to get back to Jack's cabin in Minnesota just because of all the different detours they made for safety. Sam hadn't said much the entire trip, she was mentally preparing to go back into the war zone. Of course it would be inevitable to avoid Hanson's fury at her blatant disrespect, but she had become accustomed to his attacks and it was easier to handle everything.

Not that she was immune completely from Hanson's heavy hand. They were throwing things in Jack's truck. Sam would return to her home in it and Jack was going to just fly there. It would be more suspicious if they arrived together. The cover story would be that Sam had to leave to have time to recoup and her CO had offered his cabin while he was off in Washington on a meeting.

That would explain her having the truck satisfactory but only well enough for Hanson to not completely maim her when she returned.

"I still don't like this plan. Really, I'm sure we could find another way, any other way but this. I don't want to see you hurt again." Jack tried to talk Sam out of this even though they knew it was for the best. Jack reluctantly closed the driver door for Sam.

"Well then close your eyes Sir." Sam smirked.

"Sir?'

"We should get back into the routine of things, play our roles for now Colonel." Jack nodded his head and bent down to kiss Sam.

"You're always right Major."

"Have fun on your flight from 'Washington'." Sam pulled out of the driveway and onward to the what would be the most important mission of her life.

Sam pulled onto her street, but stopped a few houses in front of her home. Picking up her phone, she called her team.

"Hey Daniel. Yeah, I'm back. Listen I know Jack told you about everything going on right? Well, you and teal'c just go back to base or whatever. No. No, it will be better if I know there's no one there. I will, see you at work tomorrow." I hung up with Daniel. Almost immediately I saw a van leave out of a driveway, I didn't realize Daniel and Teal'c were this much involved, though I should have known better. We were always there for one another.

Now in my own driveway, Sam reach for my duffle bag and am ready to play the submissive wife. Anything for my daughter. Sam was about to use my key when she thought against it. Jonas, would love her to knock before entering 'his' house. Feet shuffle towards the door. Sam swallows last minute jitters and breaks out a brilliant smile when the door reveals Hanson.

"Hi Jonas, I just wanted to apologize and I'm willing to beg or do anything for you to take me back."

Jonas' face scrunched into a scowl. He obviously wasn't pleased with Sam's disappearance. Stepping to the side, he gestured for her to come in. "You better have a damn good explanation Sammie."

They both settled into the living room with Jonas telling Sam to sit. "So where the hell have you been? I've been worried to death over you. You know that?"

Sam had to stifle a laugh at this. The sad thing was that Jonas believed he cared for her. "I'm so so sorry Jonas. It's just that when you, when I, provoked you and got myself hurt, I was just so embarrassed and ashamed that I acted so horribly with my husband. I needed time to think and my CO offered me the use of his cabin since he went to Washington for meetings and stuff. Like I said, I'm sorry and it won't happen again. Ever." Sam was crying at this point. And honestly, not all of it was an act.

Looking at Jonas, she was trembling. She hated how much she had to lower herself and blame herself to Jonas. Hanson was standing in front of her, thinking about what she said. He took Sam's hands and knelt down in front of her.

"I know you are only human, you are going to make mistakes. But I accept those mistakes. Some things are going to have to change, but I think I could take you back and be happy." Jonas reached to pull Sam into an awkward hug. Sam felt her body tense immediately on contact and forced her body to loosen up.

"Changes? Like what kind of changes?"

"Well, you know how passionately I've wanted a family. I couldn't imagine that with anyone but you. But, with two military people, that's incredibly impossible. And of course it makes more sense for you, the woman, to retire." Jonas was completely serious. Independent Sam couldn't help but drop her jaw in disbelief.

"I can't just get up and retire Jonas. I'm the head of the scientific research department and not to mention I'm second in command of the SGC premier team. Not to sound full of it, but I'm near indispensable. "

Unexpectedly, Jonas chuckled and walked over to grab a beer and something off of the fridge. Coming back he sat next to Sam and threw his arm over her, pulling her into him.

"You see this picture Sammie? This precious little girl is dispensable. So, either you or this little girl will retire. And I believe I already know your answer." He looks down waiting for Sam to agree.

Pleased with Sam he stands up and brings her with him. "Good, now let's go to bed. We haven't been proper husband and wife for awhile."

Physically going upstairs with Jonas willingly, mentally, she shudders. She knows there is little room for protest and she can only hope that they won't be husband and wife for much longer.

((AN: Argh! I just cracked my spine, not a good thing when about half of it is metal. Yes metal, I'm like the terminator…only not as cool :( . The weirdest thing happened last night. I had this full dream about one of my stories. Not this one, in fact I haven't even posted it yet, I'm just typing it so I'm not so tied down with time restraints. But anyways, I was stuck on this one part of the story and finally gave up for the night to go to sleep. I had a dream of every character and the whole scene like a play. Needless to say I know what to write now. WOO!

Oh, and FYI, it will be more evident in the opening paragraph of Chapter 20 but, Sam and Hanson went upstairs to have a little hanky panky time. Lol. Which will play a role later on, unfortunately for Sam…yikes.

It's funny that this was only supposed to be a 4 chapter max story and now it's way more and only halfway finished. Okay, now you can review this story maybe? ))
