Chapter Five
Chapter Five.
Jack stirred next to Sam, both still relaxed on the couch, under the blanket. "Sam, when did I tell the guys to get here?"
She jumped up, startled, "Are they here??"
He laughed, "No, don't panic, it's still morning. 1500, right? Have no fear, you know T is maniacally punctual, if I said 1500, it'll be 1500, not one second more, not one second less. Probably a holdover from his Jaffa training."
She fell back against the couch, relieved. "You know, that's something we ought to talk about, before they arrive. Are we going to try to hide this, you and me? Because I suspect Daniel and Teal'c know what's going on up here."
"You got that, too, huh? In the cafeteria? I saw Daniel's grin he tried to hide, saw T suddenly get distracted by something. They know. We all know each other too well, I think. But you know I love all you guys. I haven't got a problem telling them that you and I are officially an item. The Air Force be hanged, I'm going to be gone in two weeks, I don't care if everyone knows that I've won the heart and soul of Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter. And body. Can't forget that body. Won't forget that body!"
"You'd better not! Or I'll come to D.C. and kick your ass!" She smiled as she leaned into him for a quick kiss on that sweet mouth of his, those lips that she so loved to see, feel, taste.
"Oh, ho, you think so, Colonel?" He grabbed her roughly, started wrestling with her under the blanket, amazed again at her supple strength, her grace, and loving how playful she was. It felt so incredibly good, so real, to be able to do this now, all the facades and fronts of the past years completely burned away in the passionate fire of last night. They played this little game for a short time, then Jack stood up, cold, naked in the chill of the morning. The fire was totally out by this time.
"Yikes! It is cold this morning!!"
She looked him up and down, and pointedly stopped at his groin, and said, "I've noticed!"
Jack pretended to be shocked, "Colonel Carter, how dare you speak like that to your superior officer!" and ran to the bathroom to take care of his morning routine, hearing her laughter behind him. She arrived soon before he was done, hugged him from behind, looked at them both in the mirror from under his arm, grinning that beautiful grin he loved.
"I love you, Jack O'Neill." She couldn't say it enough, it felt so amazing to be able to say those words, without reservation, without fear.
He squeezed her closer with his bare arm, grinning back at her in the mirror, "I know you do, I love you, Samantha Carter."
They spent the rest of the morning being together. They made love again, in Jack's bed this time, took showers, finished straightening the place, then went to fish for a bit, awaiting the arrival of Daniel and Teal'c.
They were back inside the cabin by 1500, having a late lunch. The door opened, and there were Daniel and Teal'c, walking in, as real friends are allowed to do. Jack smiled at Samantha, a silent, "See?"
They were friends enough where Daniel knew they didn't even have to knock, to know Jack and Sam knew they'd be there right at 3PM. Daniel thought, I'm glad we all know one another so well, because if we'd shown up earlier, we might've caught them at something! He grinned to himself at this thought, as Jack invited them to the living room, offered them each a beer.
"Daniel?" Jack asked, wondering why Daniel was suddenly grinning at his beer.
"Huh? Oh, nothing, I was just thinking something, that's all."
"Care to clue us in?" Jack held Daniel's gaze, a strange light in his brown eyes, that Daniel wasn't used to seeing. He had the attention of Sam and Teal'c both by now, with the tone in his voice, light, humorous, but with that underlying command that said, "And you'd better answer me."
Daniel did his usual shy routine, ducking his head for a second, rubbing through his hair with his fingertips, and wondered what he should say. He wanted to know. Teal'c wanted to know. As much as Jack's voice said "And you'd better answer me", Daniel couldn't quite form the question he wanted to ask.
"Oh, I was thinking, it might've been fortunate that we didn't show up early. But you know Teal'c, you said 1500, so it was 1500. 3PM. I'm starting to sound military myself."
Jack continued his stern glare, a smile twinkling in his eye, just begging to come out, but he wanted Daniel to squirm for a second, think he was pissed about something. But he couldn't maintain it, he was just too damned happy, too relaxed, to put that facade up again. He was in his space, with his best friends in the world, or worlds rather, in his living room. He knew he couldn't keep it from them.
Jack looked at Sam, Sam at Jack, and a silent message passed between them. It was time to tell them, he was saying. Now. Get it over with. He walked over to Sam, and casually draped his arm across her shoulder. Her eyes had that twinkling laughter in them now, as she looked at her love, then back to her two other best friends. He looked into her blue eyes one last time, then turned back to the guys.
"Daniel, T, it's official. Sam and I are together." Simple, to the point, no embellishment.
Daniel and Teal'c were motionless, for what seemed like an eternity. They looked at one another, also sending a silent message like, We knew that already! Daniel looked back at the couple, the two practically glowing in love, and whooped, grabbed them both in a big hug, "It's about time!! I didn't think I could stand it much longer!!"
"What?" they both exclaimed simultaneously. Jack looked at Sam, then back to Daniel.
"Was it that obvious??"
Teal'c gave them that small, amused smile, and said, "O'Neill, to ones who know you two as well as Daniel Jackson and I do, it was indeed that obvious. For many years."
They'd reached the final stage: all of SG-1 now knew what had happened. They'd said their peace, it was all out, it was complete, the fullness of time had reached to this moment.
Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c. Understanding, acceptance, happiness. One week in blissful seclusion, then it was time to move on to new tasks, new jobs, new missions, new people.
Jack gave Sam a quick kiss, then turned to the guys, "So where's the beer?"
Daniel grinned at Sam's glowing smile and eyes, thinking how beautiful she was, and said, "Sure, we'll go get it, got a cooler full."
Jack and Sam went back to the pier, took the seats they'd left just before 1500 hours, picked up their fishing poles, and kicked back, legs crossed.
They sat that way for a few moments, completely at peace with one another, with Daniel and Teal'c, with this beautiful forest and mountain.
Sam finally had to ask, "There's no fish in this pond, is there?
"Not a one."
Fin.
