Here We Are

It had been a long, busy day for Sam at the SGC. She’d had to run a new technology briefing before dealing with the latest disaster in Jay Felger’s lab, then she’d barricaded herself in her own office to finish three mission’s worth of backed up reports. And that was all before lunch time.

By the time she got home, it was well past dinner and she’d even taken some of her work home to get caught up before morning. Sam had barely said hello to Jack as she made her way to the kitchen, heated up the plate of food he’d so thoughtfully left for her, and then camped out at the dining room table, her papers spread all over the place with just a small spot for her supper.

She’d been so tired when she finally got done, that Sam barely registered the moment-maybe an hour earlier-when Jack had come in and asked her to come to bed. She grimaced as she vaguely recalled snappishly telling him not to bother her because she just had to get her work done.

Rubbing at her temples, Sam gathered her work into a folder, shut down her laptop, turned off all the kitchen/dining room lights, and lumbered toward the bedroom.

In her half-asleep, exhausted trance, Sam changed into some PJs, then went through her nightly ablutions, and was about to crawl into bed before realizing that Jack wasn’t even there.

Backing out of the room, Sam went to search the house. He hadn’t been in the kitchen or dining room, because that’s where she’d been working. She checked the living room next-no go there, either. Seeing a glow of light from the study, Sam padded down the hall and leaned into the doorway. A smile spread across her face.

Jack had fallen asleep at the computer playing Space Cadet Pinball. It was the sweetest thing she’d ever seen.

Knowing his back would ache to Holy Hell if he stayed there all night, Sam quietly entered the room, shut down the PC, and then gently nudged his shoulder, waking him.

“Hrm?” He blinked at her blearily as he lifted his head, leaving a trail of drool on the desktop near the keyboard.

Sam leaned down and kissed his cheek affectionately. “Thanks for giving me space to work,” she whispered sincerely, ruffling his already-mussed hair. “And for leaving me dinner.” She kissed him again, then gave his shoulder a gentle shake. “Now, come to bed.”

Jack straightened in the chair and yawned. “I thought I’d been the one asking you that?” he mumbled sleepily.

She smiled, giving his arm a tug. Sam couldn’t possibly love this man more than she already did. “C’mon, flyboy.”

-The End-
