"Daniel, have you seen Carter anywhere? She's not in her lab and I have to give her these files"

"Um, last time I saw her she was heading to her quarters Jack. Said something about a headache"

"OK, thanks"

With that Jack turned on his heel and headed in the opposite direction to find his errant Major. Usually he would assign such a menial task as file delivery to some nameless SF, but when the job gave him even the smallest opportunity to see a certain Major, he did it himself.

Reaching his destination he knocked, quietly at first, mindful of the headache Daniel had told him about. It worried him slightly, she'd been getting an awful lot of them over the last few weeks and Janet seemed unable to do anything about them. He knocked again a little louder this time, but still got no answer. His brain told him to leave, that she had probably fallen asleep, but another part of him wasn't going to go anywhere other than through that door. The protective nature he had for all of his team had always been magnified when concerned with his Major, and that didn't end here.

Carefully he opened the door and stepped inside, checking that she was decent as he entered fully. What he saw concerned him she was sat at the table with her head bowed her own fingers rubbing her temples, trying to ease the pain. He issued a small cough to alert her to his presence.

"Carter, you all right" He asked in his softest voice.

She smiled weakly at him, the concern evident in his tone, a tone that sent a reverb vibration right to the pit of her stomach.

"Yes, Sir. I will be when these new pain killers kick in"

Jack raised his eyebrows questioningly.

"When did you take them?"

"About 2 hours ago" She squinted up at him as he moved to stand beside her.

"Carter, they should have started working by now. Let's get you back to Janet. You can't be expected to put up with headaches like this" As he looked more closely at her, he could see the grey sheen of pain that clouded her normally vibrant eyes.

"No, Sir. She said she can't do anything for a while"

She was being deliberately vague, she did not want to have to explain the reasons for her migraines to her CO. Actually if it was just her CO, she wouldn't have minded. It was because it was *Jack*.

"Carter, why will it take a while?" She could tell from the tone of his voice that he wanted the full story, she bit her lip and sucked in a breath, she had no choice.

He could tell that she didn't feel so comfortable telling him her reasons and that hurt him, He thought that he was approachable enough for his team to tell him anything, especially *this* member of his team.

"Um, well you see. It's kinda, um."

"Get on with it Carter" He interrupted, a little more sharply than he had intended.

"It's because of my pill Sir. Janet put me on a new one a few weeks back and it has been causing me to have migraines. She has taken me off it, but it will be a few more days before the headaches stop"

At that point it was a toss up as which was the most embarrassed. But it was Jack that recovered his composure quickest.

"Oh. Well in that case how about I help?" His mind screamed at his insanity, but he had stopped listening roughly the same time as he saw how much pain she was in. She didn't answer, she just raised her eyebrows and that questioning look framed her eyes. He smiled down at her, she was so beautiful.

"Come on Major, it's a hidden talent of mine. Just lie on the bed" His smile was wide and bright, but she still was unsure as to what he was doing.

"Trust me, Sam. I can help"

It was his tone that undid her, as she looked into his eyes and listened to his voice, she would do anything he wanted. Silently she stood and headed for her bed, as she lay down carefully, he climbed on besides her, kneeling over her. She felt her stomach turn over, how many times had she imagined this? Too many times to count. It was difficult for her to breathe as he leaned closer to her.

He looked down at her as she positioned herself; he only just kept control of his reactions. He'd dreamed of her like this so many times, waiting for him to take them to places that would shatter their souls into tiny pieces. But here and now, she needed him. He shook himself back to life and began his task.

She was shocked as he rubbed his hands together and placed them on her forehead, stoking and coaxing the facial muscles to relax. It felt divine. His hands exerted the perfect pressure as they roamed the sensitive points of her face, her sinus plates, her temples, her jawbone and her eyes. He was full of surprises, but she would never have guessed that massage was one of his talents. A talent that he was *very* good at. She closed her eyes and relaxed into the wonderful sensations he was causing.

He was trying so very hard to control his thoughts, but as he ran his fingers over her perfect face, he could hardly do it. For so long he had wanted to feel her skin under his fingers, and now here he was with free reign over her face. He could feel every contour and every muscle, he could feel them being to relax under his touch. Her face was wonderful, he closed his eyes revelling in the feel of her. Still fighting with his concentration, she needed him to help her and that was precisely what he intended on doing.

After what seemed to soon a time, Sam reluctantly opened her eyes, conveying the disappointment at the loss of his touch. He smiled down at her and whispered softly.

"That's it, feel better?" The truth was he could have carried on much longer, but it was too dangerous to his sanity, he could no longer remain detached from the sensations the feel of her skin sent through his fingers straight to a region that should not have been involved.

She turned her head experimentally and as she returned her gaze to him, the pain was gone, replaced with a relaxation and something he couldn't quite place.

"Yes, Sir. That was *wonderful*. Where did you learn to do that?" The surprise in her voice made him smile.

"Sara got terrible headaches when she was pregnant with Charlie. At first I just seemed to have a natural knack for it, but later I took classes and am now am able to massage properly. It was a good talent in the later stages, he back got so painful so I helped."

Her eyes widened even more " Don't you believe me?" She giggled, trying valiantly to get the image of Jack actually learning how to massage on some dummy out of her mind.

"Turn over and I'll prove it to you"

<Oh. Smart move Jack. You've just had a hard enough time with her face, how the hell are you gonna manage a bare back?>

He squashed that voice quickly. At his point he really didn't care. He was going to show Samantha Carter just what she was missing!

She said nothing, but her actions surprised the hell out of him. She simply turned over, removing her top and bra as she went and lay on her front, waiting for him to make good on his promise. She heard him draw in a breath as he gazed at the expanse of her bare flesh and she giggled to herself.

"No giggling Sam, you know that."

With that he placed hands on her slightly too warm skin and began ministrations that sent them both spiralling into a world of sensation. For a long time, he kept his concentration on her back, but when he heard a small moan of pleasure escape her lips; he could no longer fight his need.

When his hands slid around her sides and moved her onto her back, neither hesitated. He took her lips in a drugging kiss as her arms wound around his neck and fingers tangled with the hair at his nape.

As his hands moved to cup her breasts, she moaned into his mouth as slightly roughened thumbs found her nipples. Not one to be outdone, her hands slipped under his military issue T-shirt and upwards, tangling with the light hair covering his chest. He growled with pleasure as she found a sensitive point on his back and momentarily lost his own actions. She continued to caress the point he never knew existed, until all gentle teasing could no longer be followed.

He quickly found the waistband of her trousers and pulled at them with a force that conveyed his need more eloquently than any words. She smiled up at his face as she mirrored his actions. As he looked deeply into liquid crystal eyes that burned with a desire he knew was echoed in his own gaze, sanity returned. He had to be sure of her; she had to choose this.

"Sam, are you sure about this?" She was touched deeply that he had the control, repsect and restraint to ask her. As she looked into dark chocolate, she knew that all her dreams had finally decided to come true.

"Yes Jack. I have never been more sure of anything. Besides, it's supposed to be the best cure for headaches!" Her reply rung a bark of involuntary laughter from his throat. Once more locking his eyes to hers, his only reply was.

" I told you I could help"

No more words were needed or in fact wanted. He slid a free hand across her abdomen feeling her tense as his touch tickled her, but all fun was soon forgotten as his hand found it's goal. Unerringly finding the bullseye he felt her writhe underneath him with pleasure as he stroked, taking her nipples into his mouth, he was rewarded by the presence of nails in his back.

That sensation fuelled him into further action, he slid a single finger into her warmth relishing the delicious contact. Not content, a second finger joined the first, while his thumb continued to play with the sensitive nub. For several minutes his soul concentration was to pleasure her, until he was abruptly brought back to reality as he felt her find his almost painfully hard length and begin ministrations of her own. She knew precisely how to send him to heaven. As she smiled into his eyes he thought that that was exactly where he was.

Just as the pleasure from her hand was becoming too much, she stopped. He joined her gaze and read just what she wanted, just what they both wanted.

He positioned himself above her, and asked, "What do you want?"

"You" and "Now" where the only audible sounds he heard as he pushed his length into her. The feeling of her stretching around him nearly sent him over the edge, but he fought hard and regained some semblance of control. They started a rhythm, which soon lost all style, but stayed cohesive. Her nails clawing at his back, his own hands occupied with her breasts, her felt her begin to contract around him and knew she was close. Pulling her arms from around his back, her pulled them above her head and laced his fingers with hers. He felt her legs wrap tightly around him and once more he had to fight to control his spiralling need.

As he looked into her eyes, he saw all the love and desire she had hidden from him. Realising the implication of that sight, he could not hide his own emotions any longer. Still moving within her, looking deeply into her eyes he said the words he never thought he'd be able to say.

"I Love you Sam" As she registered the words her eyes widened in pleasure as she felt herself reach the promised peak. His words combined with his actions gave her the most profound climax she had ever experienced.

As he felt her body shudder beneath him, her eyes closed tight as she rode out her climax, he too was pushed over the edge by the tight internal contractions that now gripped her. She felt his entire body tighten and then release, glorying in the expression on his face. Just before he relaxed against her she leant into his ear and replied.

" I love you too Jack"

The surprise that registered on his face made her giggle once more. As he let his full body weight settle on top of her, he laughingly rebuked her.

"How many times do I have to tell you, no giggling." He kissed her softly and sweetly; still incredulous that fate had seen fit to bless him so immensely.

" What took us so long?"

"I'm not sure, but if I'd have known what I was missing I would have told you about my headaches much sooner!"

Suddenly a serious thought hit him. "Sam, I didn't use anything, and you're not on the pill right now. What if…?"

She silenced him with a powerful kiss before she answered

"Well you said you had learned massage for a specific reason, I want to know how good you actually are!"

His brain was still struggling with her implication as she smiled the smile that was his alone.

"Sam, are you saying…"

"Jack, I'll explain it slowly." He grinned at her

"Witch" He admonished playfully

"I want to be with you, and I want to have your children. If you'll let me, that is"

He thought his heart was about to burst through his chest. The unparalleled joy that enveloped his soul took his breath away.

"*If* I'll have you? Um, let me think… yes Sam. Of course I will. There is nothing more in the world I want. Marry me?"

" I thought you'd never ask"

With that he took her lips and kissed her breathless. All the problems that their decision would cause were forgotten, both unafraid of the future now that they would share it. They had all they needed to be happy.

They had each other.

The End.
