"No, and it is none of your business who I talk to. You have no right to come barging in to my house and telling me what to do"
He walked up to her and slapped her across her face. Mark was listening and heard every thing.
"Don't you ever talk to me like that again."
"Get out! There is going to be no wedding; I'm canceling every thing."
"Then the world will know about the Stargate program."
"You are the one who will end up with egg on your face."
"Fine, the wedding is off. I hope that you watch the six o'clock news tonight" then he left the house.
Sam put her hand up to her face were he had hit her. Then she pulled the phone back to her ear.
"Mark, are you still there?"
"Yes I'm here. What did he do to you?"
"He slapped me and it's not the first time he has done it but it will be the last." Mark was shocked over what he had just heard.
"Sam, I'm catching the next flight out. I'll call you when I arrive."
"Ok, but what about your work?"
"I've got two weeks off, starting tomorrow any way. I'll come out there and we can talk then."
"Ok, call me on my cell phone just in case I'm not at home."
"Ok; what are you going to do now?"
"I'm going out. I have to talk to General O'Neill."
"Ok Sam, will you be ok?"
"Yes I'll be ok"
"Ok, see you soon Sam" and then they both hung up.
Sam got up from the couch and picked up her purse and keys and walked out the door and locked it. She got into her car and headed to Jack's place. A few minutes later she arrived at the house. Jack heard a car pull up, so he got up from the breakfast bar and looked out the window. He was surprised to see Sam getting out of her car.
He opened the door as she walked up the steps. He could see the red mark on her face and knew that Pete must have slapped her again. She walked inside and he closed the door and followed her into the living room. She turned around and looked at him.
"Come here."
She took a step forward and they wrapped their arms around each other. He was rubbing her back while he could feel the tears on his neck. They were like that for a few minutes, before pulling apart and then they sat on the couch.
"What happened?"
Sam looked into Jack's eyes and told him everything, from when she got home, the phone call to Mark, everything. Jack put his arm's around her as she leaned against him.
"Sam. when you go and pick Mark up I want to go with you."
"Thanks Jack" then he heard Sam's stomach rumble.
"Sam, when was the last time you ate anything?"
"Yesterday, at lunch."
"Ok, I'll go and make an omelet and don't worry; there will be no beer in it. I would like for you to eat it, ok?"
"Ok, thanks."
"No problem, Sam."
He gave her a kiss before getting up and heading into his kitchen to make Sam an omelet. A few minutes later Sam was sitting at the breakfast bar, eating her omelet and drinking her orange juice, while Jack watched her. When she finished she looked at him.
"What?"
Jack put his mug down and walked around the bar and pulled Sam to her feet. He cupped her face and kissed her. They wrapped their arms around each other as the kiss became passionate. When they pulled apart for air, they leaned there foreheads together.
"I always love watching you eat and I dream about us eating here every morning, together. Now, it is almost like a dream come true."
"Really?" Sam raised an eyebrow at him.
"Yes; did you enjoy the omelet?"
"Yes thanks" she then gave him a kiss.
"Sam, why don't we go to the base until you hear from Mark?"
"Ok" and they kissed one more time.
Jack cleaned up and they left together. Sam took her car and Jack followed in his truck.
They did not know that Pete was watching them and recording what had happened at the same time.
When they arrived at the SGC, they headed down to level twenty six, they changed their clothes and then went to talk to Daniel and Teal'c to let them know what had happened.
They were in Daniel's office when Jack and Sam arrived. They sat down and Sam told them what had happened. She knew that they would support her through all of this and would be there for her and Jack when the time came.
After they talked, Sam went to her lab while Jack went to his office and called the Joint Chief's to let them know what had happened and then he did some paper work. Jack went to Sam's lab to pull her away for a while so she could have some lunch with him. After lunch Jack went back to his office and Sam went back to her lab.
A few hours later Sam's cell phone rang. She looked at the caller I.D and saw that it was Pete so she didn't answer it. A few minutes later she checked her cell phone and there was one missed message, so she listened to it.
"Hi Sam, I thought that you should know that we are going to get married on Saturday because I've got something on you and General O'Neill. I sent a copy to your e-mail address at work. I hope that you like it. See you Friday night at dinner. Oh, and you are going to wear my mother's wedding dress. If not, there will be Court Martial for your lover. See you then, bye" and he hung up.
She checked her e-mail. There was one from Pete and she opened it and was shocked. She stopped the recording and then she called Jack. A few minutes later he walked into her lab and he could see that she was upset about something.
"Sam, what's wrong sweet heart?"
She pointed to her monitor. He walked around her desk and looked to see what she was looking at. He was shocked to see a picture of them, naked, in his bed. From what he could tell it had been taken this morning.
"What the hell is he playing at now?" Sam passed him her cell phone and he listened to the message.
Afterwards he closed the phone and put it on the desk and then he walked out. Sam called Daniel to her lab and told him to get Teal'c to keep an eye on Jack. A few minutes later Daniel walked into her lab and he listened to the message and Sam told him what Pete sent to her. Daniel was shocked by it all. She saved the recording to a disk and then deleted the e-mail and then she shut down her computer. She picked up her phone and put it in her pocket and then left her lab, with Daniel in tow.
"Sam, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet Daniel" and then she walked down to Jack's office. He wasn't there so she asked Walter,
"Walter, can you get me the Chief of Staff please? I need to talk to him. "
"Yes ma'am."
