Wow truly found this story so nicely written.  At first didn't like that Sam married Pete, but you continued to make the relationship between Jack and Sam more acceptable.  That they finally were together was all that mattered since they both loved each other so much.  Thanks for sharing this and always simply amazed at how wonderful to read your stories. Awaiting sequel.

Oh my gosh!! Ziva,  THANK YOU   THANK YOU    THANK YOU!!!!!!!

  

You are best!! (well, you and PaulineFitz) I have loved each and every story you have written. “If Only” was always a favorite of mine because

because it has that awesome combination of Jack O’Neill being adorable with kids and sweet and protective with Sam, bad Spudhead boy, (that’s all

I will say about him right now because I do not want to spoil it for people reading this for the first time.) and I love how you portray the inner struggle that both Sam and Jack go through in this story.

  

Seriously, work has been just awful this week and when I logged on and saw this story, you just made a bad week a whole lot better!!! Thank you so much for posting this! J

Author's Response: You are most welcome.  I always hope to satisfy the needs and wishes of the readers, but I don't always succeed. Thankfully there are many readers like you who appreciate that a writer's first and foremost desire is to be creative.  The AU concept allows me to do that.  Otherwise, as you said, you may as well watch re-runs of SG-1 on TV, and I may as well stop writing SG fan fiction.  Thank you for requesting this story.  Pauline thanks you too.    

Nice another story to read though as a Pete hater I truly hate a story with him in it especially if he is married to Sam. lol Well keep reading and see how you dispose of him. lol Good start.

Author's Response: LOL You naughty lady!  Poor Pete.  He wouldn't last long at your house, would he.  LOL
