Weeks passed then turned into months and before Sam knew she had been back coming on 6 months. Sam kept her feelings and thoughts to herself, she talked to Janet every now and then, but for the most part she felt ashamed of what she had done and didn't want anyone to especially Jack. Her Jack renewed their friendship had went on "friendship dates" they called it. Jack didn't want to push Sam, he still wanted to be with her but he wanted her to feel the same.

Sam got home from work, her and Jack were going out tonight again, she thought she really wanted to be with him, fully and completely. So she decide that tonight was the night, she would give in to it, see where it lead, she never planned on telling him about the baby, that was the past it needed to stay there, she wanted to keep her eyes on the future.

Doorbell rang Sam went to get it, she was dress a sleek black dress, high heels. She answered the door, to a shocked Jack.

"Wow" That was all he could say, she looked so beautiful.

"So I know you normally plan the evening but I thought I would change things around a bit, come on in, I have a tux for you hanging over there."

"A tux? Okay, where are you taking me Samantha Carter?" Jack was curious as to what has gotten in to her, she hadn't been this way ever with him.

"There is a party, its going to have food, dancing and I thought it would be fun, we have never been dancing."

"Great give me 5 and we can be on our way." Jack grabbed the tux and headed to change.

They had the best time that evening, she had enjoy just being held by Jack, dancing with him. Jack felt the same but he thought why would Sam being acting this way, was she finally coming around could they possibly getting to the point of moving along with their relationship. As the headed home Sam spoke up.

"I want you to come in, we need to talk"

"Ok, and yeah I think we should as well, I need to explain something to you." Jack was unaware that Janet had already filled Sam in on what had happened that night those years ago. They pulled in headed in to the house, Sam went to change into something more comfortable and Jack changed back into what he had originally came in.

Jack waited for Sam in the living room, he was nervous as to what she wanted to talk about. Sam came in the room sat down next to him.

Sam started " Ok I know I said we needed to talk, but what did you want to explain."

"Sam the night between you and me was real" Jack stated he hoped she would understand.

"Hey.." She reached over and grabbed his hands "I know what happened Janet told me the whole story, about Baal and everything."

"She did?" Jack let a sigh of relief " And you understand that wasn't me at all, I fell asleep that night with my mind made up that I was going to retire, so we could be together. And Sam I know you have been through a lot and I don't want to push you. I just want you to know my feelings haven't changed."

"I know, and that's what I wanted to talk to you about, after Janet told me what had happened, I thought I was so stupid to leave so soon and if I had just tried to stick it out everything would have come to light."

"Hey look the past is the past, we can still do this have a future, starting now, Sam I thought I had lost you forever after you left I tried to find you but couldn't. And now to have you back, I'm willing to wait as long as it….." Sam cut him off she leaned in and kissed him.

She pulled away, Jack wasn't expecting it so he didn't react quick enough she thought that she had crossed the line.

"I'm sorry I sho…" This time Jack took her into his arms and with all the passion he had kept in for her all these years, he kissed he she kissed him back, it felt like forever.

She stood up leading him through the house as they still were kissing falling over things, bumping into the walls, the finally made it to her bedroom. Sam started pulling Jack's shirt off, and undoing his belt, then his pants he grabbed he hands

"Are you sure about this?" He asked out of breath, and looking into her eyes.

"I am if you are" She smiled awaiting his answer.

He gave her the answer by releasing her hands, and started kissing her again, his hands made his way up her shirt, taking it off. She continued with taking off his pants.

"Jack I want you" Sam said they had both striped sown to nothing he laid her gently on the bed

"Samantha you don't know how long I have waited to hear those words from you" Jack kissed her then entered her

"YES JACK OH YES!!!" Sam had not felt this way ever she didn't remember it being this good last time.

They made love several more times that night, as morning approached they lay in each others arms just taking in the moment. Then Sam started the conversation.

"Jack I want this you and me, I don't want to be alone and without you anymore, we played around the feelings to long. What do you say lets be together forever?"

"Samantha Carter are you asking me to marry you, cause if you are, I really thought as to I would be the one asking, but…" Jack turned to her and smiled

"I actually have something just for this occasion, so hold that thought." Jack slipped his pants back on and went out to his truck. When he came back in he went in the kitchen grabbed a bottle of wine and 2 glasses.

He came back in the bedroom, Sam still trying to figure out what he was pulling, her face lit up when he entered the room.

"Wine?" Jack held the bottle up " Its' good for celebrations" He said as he winked at her.

"So you mean, you want to?" Sam said hanging in the balance waiting on his answer.

Jack then poured the wine handed a glass to Sam, the reached into his pocket.

"Samantha Carter I have been waiting years to have you tell me that you wanted to spend your life with me, after you left I had made preparations for if,…when I found you I was not going to let you go, as to why I bought you house back. And for this…." Jack held out his hand, he was holding an engagement ring.

"Sam the answer to your question, yes I want to be with you forever, now will you make that come to be, Will you marry me?"

Sam was shocked that he had a ring all this time, she quickly got over that thought, took the ring from Jack and put it on, she looked up and smiled at him.

"Yes yes I will marry you" Jack about dropped his glass trying to put it down. Once he accomplished that he took her into his arms and kissed her. They spent the rest of the weekend celebrating.
