AN- Another happy one for you all.

"All in all, it's the perfect scene,

And there's not anywhere that I would rather be,

And it's now, now or never when we're chasing our dreams,

And oh, it's getting close now don't turn away."

"The Perfect Scene" by Mercy Mercedes.

Lying on her front facing the cabin, she had a great view of the man standing over the grill. Using her arms as a pillow, she rested her chin on the back of her hands and looked up towards him. She could just make out his cream shorts and well-defined legs under the grill, all the years of chasing bad guys and running for their lives showing in his firm calf muscles. His pale blue shirt was open to mid chest showing a very generous amount of greying chest hair. She couldn't see his eyes behind his customary big round shades that normally hung around his neck. His hair was now mostly grey, only the odd stand still had a trace of brown in it.

As she watched him cover the meat he was burning in even more beer, she saw Daniel out the corner of her eye moving around the table laying out plates and bottles of beer. Teal'c appeared by his side carrying a huge salad bowl and another bowl of something she couldn't make out. She was so engrossed watching Daniel and Teal'c she didn't feel his gaze rest on her for a couple of seconds. When she looked at him her blue eyes meet his brown, his shades having been lifted, and a smile instantly spreading across both their faces. She watched as he continued to prod at the meat as he continued to stare at her, his eyes never leaving hers.

"Sam, it's ready," Daniel called down to her as she pushed herself off the deck and stood up.

Bending down, she wrapped the towel around her waist which at least gave her a little bit of modesty. Walking up to the table she sat down and looked down at the overly burnt piece of meat and then at the man sat next to her. He never spoke but smiled at her as he picked up the salad tongs and proceeded to heap salad on both his own plate and hers. As they sat eating they talked and joked about things went by, but also of what was to come. Even though she heard him join the conversation she felt his eyes hardly left her body. Every once in awhile their arms would brush at they ate, his knee resting against hers under the table.

When they finished eating Daniel and Teal'c offered to wash up saying something about doing it sooner rather than later. The table was cleared in record time leaving Sam and Jack alone.

"Let's take a walk," offering her his hand as he stood up.

Taking the offered hand, she let herself be led onto the decking where the bedroom was, all the time his hand never leaving hers. Finding herself sat on a small love seat she had no desire to move away, instead moving closer till both his arms were around her and her head was on his chest. They were finally together as a couple, now and always.
