CHAPTER SEVEN
Daniel walked back into the infirmary and smiled when he saw Sam, he then looked to Jack and was sure he saw Jack's eyelids fluttering. He hurried to Jack's side and pressed his hand against Jack's forehead and smiled as he felt cooler. Jack's eyes opened slowly and Daniel warned," Don't panic Jack but Janet had to inturbate you again but I can get her so she can remove it."
Jack nodded and watched as Daniel wandered off before his gaze settled on Sam and he managed to smile slightly before he lifted a hand and began to stroke Sam's hair gently. Sam muttered," Jack?"
She opened her eyes slowly and smiled as she saw Jack looking down at her and she exclaimed," You're awake!"
Jack nodded so Sam took his hand with hers and pressed her lips to it suprising both herself and Jack but she looked up and saw Jack's eyes twinkling at her. She smiled but moved away as Janet came in and said," Hey looks like the Colonel lives to fight another day."
Jack raised his eyebrows at her so Janet laughed and said," Okay it was a bad catch phrase."
Janet check Jack's new ABG tests before leaning over Jack and saying," Okay Jack I need you to breathe out as I pulled this tube out, got it?"
Jack nodded weakly and on the count of three Janet had removed the tube and then placed an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose and watched as he breathed in deeply. She smiled and nodded as Jack gave her his silent thanks before she left the team alone.
Daniel smiled and said," Man I thought we had lost you there for a second."
Teal'c watched as Jack looked confused so he explained," You died O'Neill as a way of testing to see if you were evil but you were not and so you transgress death and returned to us."
Jack moaned slightly making his team laugh before giving Sam one of his ' when can I get out of here' looks so she shook her finger and said," No ways sir, you're going to stay put until you're recovered!"
FEW DAYS LATER...
Jack grumbled loudly as a medic poked and prodded him for what seemed like the hundredth time, Sam walked in to see Jack glaring at the fleeing medic. She joked," Scaring the medical team already sir?"
Jack just smirked and growled," Well maybe if they didn't insist on poking me every fifteen seconds I would be nicer to them."
Sam laughed before asking seriously," Um sir do you remember anything I said to you during your fever?"
Jack smiled slightly, remembering how it was her soothing touch and passionate words that had kept him holding on," What would you do if I said I did?"
Sam blushed slightly before walking right up to his bedside and kissing him gently at first but as he kissed her back, she lost herself in the feel of his arms around her and soon the most tentative kiss she had ever given turned into the most passionate embrace she had ever experienced.
They broke away smiling at one another before Jack whispered," I love you Major Samantha Carter, always have and always will and I will do whatever it takes to be with you."
Sam smiled and replied," I love you too Colonel Jack O'Neill and I don't give a rats ass about regulations."
Jack smiled and tutted," I think you've been around me too long, I'm a bad influence."
Sam smiled and kissed him again before whispering," Never Jack, you only have a positive influence on me; you make me feel alive and just being around you feels me with the greatest joy I have ever had the pleasure to experience."
Sam could swear that Jack was blushing but he confessed," You Samantha Carter have helped me to realise that life is worth living and you have enriched my life just by being you."
Sam kissed Jack gently and smiled as he responded slowly and god this man knew how to kiss, she wrapped her arms around his neck not caring if the General himself walked in; she was just so happy that Jack was back and she had finally admitted to her feelings for him.
Sam and Jack were totally unaware of four people observing their tender loving moment, Daniel whispered," Alright Janet pay up, I believe that would be a hundred bucks."
Janet grumbled and Teal'c asked," What was the wager?"
Janet replied," Oh Daniel said that Sam would be the first one to make a move but I thought the Colonel would and I guess I lost."
Teal'c looked to General Hammond before asking," Is this not against regulations?"
The General nodded but before Teal'c could say a word he explained," Oh just gave the president a ring and asked if two certain soldiers could be exempt since SG1 has saved the earth how many times?"
They all smiled walking away leaving Sam and Jack to enjoy their unforbidden love.
