Here's Jack's POV on Sam and Joe's wedding - enjoy!!!


2006

Today was the day. Sam's wedding day. Jack had drove to Colorado and tracked down the place where it was happening. He walked to a place where he could watch the ceremony happen without himself being seen. He leaned up against an oak tree and waited for the wedding to begin. He wouldn't dare actually attend the ceremony, but he had to see. To see if Sam would really go through with it. To see if she was lost forever.

It was just slightly windy outside. It was September and the leaves were just starting to turn. It was a beautiful day, the perfect temperature. Jack couldn't help but realize how ironic it was. How ironic the entire situation was. Then Jack thought he saw Sam walking towards him. She looked beautiful. Her hair was longer than he was used to and she was in her wedding dress. It was beautiful in it's simplicity. If Jack had thought she was pretty in her BDU's, he'd had no idea how gorgeous she looked in a wedding gown.

He saw her face light up as she saw him. She walked closer to him.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Funny, I could ask you the same thing."

"I'm getting married."

"Ah."

"I didn't get your rsvp, I didn't think you were coming."

"I'm not, er, I wasn't, but I had to see you before..."

He stopped and looked down at the ground. Then he went against everything his brain was screaming. He listened to his heart for once and did something very 'un-Jack'. He leaned over and kissed her. He could feel her remember why she was there in the first place. What the day represented. She pulled away.

"Don't marry him, Sam. He isn't the one for you," he said in a soft voice.

"Maybe not. But it seems to me that he's the only one that ever wanted me. Even when I wanted someone else."

"Sam - "

She started to walk away from him, he could see her tears beginning to fall.

"Sam. Please. Don't let it end like this."

She turned around.

"It's impossible to end something that never started."

She ran off from him as he tried to keep his cool. He ended up kicking the tree he was standing by and leaning his head into it for support.

An hour later, Jack watched as Sam walked back up the aisle, Mrs. Joseph Faxon. He had stood off to the side of the ceremony, just to make sure she didn't change her mind. She looked so happy, he almost forgot how upset he was at the whole situation.

The more he thought about it, the more his actions felt wrong. She deserved to be happy. Jack knew that from the start. He was the one who told her to get a life in the first place. Now, coming here, kissing her... it all felt wrong. Maybe this was all a mistake.
