"Sam? Are you ready to go?" Jack asked knocking on her door.

"I'm coming!" She yelled back through the door, checking her hair one last time. She grabbed her crutches and went to the door and opened it. "Hey" she just said.

"Hey" he responded. "Are you sure I don't need to carry you to the messhall?"

"No, I'll be fine Sir." But she blushed sligtly.

Jack just smiled at seeing her blush, every time she was blushing she looked so cute, and it made his heart smile. "So how is the jello-o over here?" He asked.

We don't have them, only hospital jello-o. But we have cake?! She said.

"Well than it's going to be cake." He said simply but still a grin on his face, seeing her on crutches was weird but he was happy he could be here for her, and hopefully he would get some more cute blushing out of here.

Sitting down, in the messhall in the far end for some privacy. Sam said: "thanks for carrying my plate.

"Well if I didn't you'd probably carried yourself and just walked, and I'm here to get you to rest and relax." He said. "And besides it can't hurt to help the smartest person in the galaxy."

"I'm not that smart, everybody here is smart. I'm just a regular person." She replied honestly.

"Hey, I've worked with you for 8 years straight, and know you now for over 10 years." Putting his hand on hers. "You are far from being a regular person. Not just because of your brain but also for your determination, your courage, your passion and most of all your good heart. Look at you you are the head of Atlantis. You are amazing never doubt that, I don't. He said.

Sam coudn't help it, now she was really blushing. She didn't even know what to say. And Jack just sat there with his amazing, handsome smile, his eyes said everything he just said and more. She just kept watching his eyes, she couldn't look away and apparently he couldn't either.

"Ey McKay, look." Jennifer said, pointing at Sam and Jack on the other side of the cafeteria.

"What?" He responded

"Look at them, Sam is so totally drowning in his eyes, and he has his hand on hers. And look she is wearing jewellery and even some make-up. She seriously got it bad." Jennifer said.

"Oh yeah" McKay just said while eating the rest of his dinner.

"I'm wandering were there talking about" she said. "but they probably can read everything in each others eyes. Don't you think."

"Yeah, maybe after working 8 years together." He said absolutly not interested in Sam's life or that of the General.

"Wouldn't be that amazing to have something like that" she said looking at McKay. When he didn't responded she just rolled his eyes at him. Like Sam had said, he is McKay.

"Want some cake Sir?" She asked not pulling her hand back.

"Well yeah Carter I would love some cake, you?" He asked while grabbing a fork and he cut a piece off and holding it in front her face.

"Well yes Sir." She said opening her mouth, and letting Jack feed her. This took her back to the SGC, when they were having lunch or dinner together, they always found some way to play with the cake or jello-o. She really missed him hanging around the SGC and especially at Atlantis. Of course everybody was really nice and smart and there was a lot to do. But when she was working for hours she always hoped that Jack would come trough the door and say what'cha doing Carter and just make her laugh but he never had come un till now.

"We should get some sleep, we have an early day tomorrow" Jack suddenly said, coming out of his toughts.

"Of course sure." She said taking her hand back, that suddenly felt cold. "What time are you picking me up Sir?"

"A round 6:00 hours" he said, he almost heard Sam thinking: Oh then I can just work for another 2 hours. "and you're going to go and rest now"

"But how did you know I was planning to work a little while?" She asked stunned.

"Carter I know you, you will never stop working. So because of that I'm staying in your room till you're lying in your bed." He said.

"You don't have to Sir, I'll be fine." She said softly.

"No Carter, I know you, you will go to work if I'm not there." Jack said.

Entering her room and seeing the somewhat comforting bed she noticed that she was tired and that it would be a good idea to get some rest. "Welcome Sir" she said while looking around her room.

"Thanks Carter." He said and looked around himself.

"I'll go change in the bathroom Sir" She said, with another quick look around for something embarrassing, she walked to the small room on the other side of her room.

Jack was just slowly walking around when he noticed the pictures on her desk. One of Cassandra, one of Janet and Cassandra that was probably taken on the small party about two weeks before Janet died, one of the original SG-1, one of Cam, Vala, Teal'c, Daniel, general Landry, Dr Lam and herself. He smiled at the pictures. The SGC and the old team mates still meant a lot to her. On her closet there were some other stuff, that Jack had never seen before but they all looked like they came from the team of Atlantis. He turned around and looked to her bed and nightstand and his heart jumped up. There was a picture of him, just of him on the night stand. When he heard Sam coming out of the bedroom he looked at her. And pointed at the stuff on her closet. "Nice stuf, is it from here?" he asked

"Yeah they are gifts from various trading parties, from Col. Sheppard, Dr. Mckay, Teyla and the Athosians" she said while sitting down on her bed and grabbing the sheets.

"Well okay, I'm off. Get some rest and don't you dare to go to work. We're going to one of the outer pier tomorrow. And I know I'm not getting to go all the way in a wheelchair so you have to walk. Or do you want me to carry you al the way? He finished with a grin on his face.

"No Sir, you don't have carry me and I won't get out of bed and work and your right you're not going to get me in a wheelchair." She said smiling at him.

Well okay, Night Carter. He said and walked out of the door.

Night Sir. She yelled just before the door closed.
