AUTHOR'S NOTES: This story came about from a conversation in AIM with Ann. I'd warned her what it was like when I let my muses [Sam, Jack, Janet, etc] out to play. And then she got to see this phenomenon in action. Special Thanks: Very special thanks to Ann for playing this little game with me. It made it a lot of fun....and hopefully I'm not seen as too insane now
**NOTE: We join this conversation already in progress. Ann and AJ are sitting in the commissary, talking about the Sam/Jack/AU-Sam story AJ is writing.
Symbol conversions for the various characters: < >= Jack [ ] = Sam ( ) = Janet // // = General Hammond
And now, the conversation....**
AJ: well, but i was thinking about what to do with it....and trying to picture the conversation between Sam and Jack after Samantha's back "home"....you know, the one where he's gonna be a typical male and ask her what it was like to "fuck herself"....
Ann: Jack being a male Ann: straight to the point
AJ: Jack is sooooo totally male....and you know he'd be all for something like that anyway....and probably more so because it's two Sams....
Ann: hmmm two Sams for Jack.. don't know if he could handle it.
Ann: don't know.. might be overload to the senses ;-) [No, you couldn't, Jack! It'd kill you!]
[Don't call me Sammie, or you won't get anything for the rest of your pathetic life, old man!]
(hear hear)
Ann: lol
AJ: had to let Janet chime in, too
Ann: Sammie.. I'd get him, Sam
[Oh, believe me, I'll get him. And his Black Ops training won't do shit for him, either....I learned a few things from Samantha about her Jack....]
[*sweet smile* Let's just say that if you two are as much alike as we are, well....I hope you have all your affairs in order, Jack my boy}
Ann: lol Ann: affairs in order?.. I'd be worried Jack
AJ: I should remember to keep this and write a story based on this....
[*pointed stare* There better not have been any since Laira. You forget who my father is....]
Ann: explosive relationship, eh?
AJ: Oh, not at all *snicker* AJ: But you know, the more I think about it....THIS would be the kind of canon relationship they'd have, you know? Not the sappy, lovey-dovey stuff....
<*gag* Oh, please! Me? Sappy? Lovey-dovey? Are you nuts?>
[He's got a point, ladies....]
Ann: never thought lovey dovey.. but.. all these threats? :-) Ann: must be in the air
[*bg* Well, you know, Ann, he likes it when I play rough with him. It turns him on....]
[Why not? You know AJ's going to write about it anyway....Aren't you, AJ?]
AJ: Damned straight I am....
Ann: everyone wants to know. Ann: we do thing that it is kismet.. Ann: what great chemistry and all
[Yep.]
(Hell, yes! Why do you think *I* do all your post- mission exams, Jack?)
Ann: thank you Janet Ann: see I'm getting the voices down
AJ: You know, if any "sane" [read Non-SG-1 fan] person would see this, they'd think I was totally off the deep end for carrying on a 4 way conversation. AJ: Hint....the symbols help....That's how I keep them straight....
Ann: lol Ann: so.. Janet any other tidbits of info?
(Just be glad I don't start requiring proctological exams each time.)
<*meek* Yes, Janet.>
[Way to go, Janet! I thought he was just being a baby.]
(What would you like to know, Ann?)
Ann: hmm Ann: let me think about this. Ann: my mind has gone blank.. I'll get back to you, ok?
[I kind of like the idea of those procto exams personally *eg*]
(Not a problem. I'm always willing to help.)
Ann: don't be a baby, Jack
(I think that got disregarded as a special circumstance for SG-1. You know everything I say goes directly to the General.)
[Oh, shit! Janet, you didn't tell me that!]
(*veg* Gotta keep some things to myself)
Ann: it's not like the reports are running around the Internet
AJ: That's very true. I'm very selective about what information I use that Janet's given me. Oops! I didn't say that, did I? Ann: AJ.. shhh
AJ: I didn't say a damned word....Right, Janet?
(Right, AJ. I heard nothing. And since I outrank these other two, they don't have any proof that you said anything.)
[HEY!]
Ann: lol Ann: are they always this combative?
AJ: Ah, ain't life grand when you've got the CMO of Cheyenne Mountain as your buddy?
(Always....Which makes life so fun around here.)
Ann: I didn't realize that Janet was sooo devious. :-) Ann: Is it because you don't get to go off world very often?
(There are a lot of things people don't know about me. Everyone's too damned preoccupied with the Volatile Twins over there.)
AJ: Oh, I happen to know quite a bit about Janet....
(You just shut your mouth, AJ.)
AJ: The last I heard, Janet's not allowed off-world unless it's with SG-1 or an extreme medical emergency reason....and SG-1 is kind of reticent to take her anymore....
Ann: why don't they want Janet along?
(Because I know too much about them)
Ann: worried that she'll want to go along all the time?
(*snicker* He's just too worried I'll start wanting exams on a daily basis off-world)
Ann: needles, right?
Ann: need to use the cream that numbs the area.
[Might not be a bad idea, Janet]
(I SOOO don't think so.)
Ann: we use that with my 12 year old, Jack Ann: but it takes 45 minutes/ 1 hour to work. Ann: lol [*delighted giggles*]
(*evil snickers*)
(Of course not, Jack. You just act like one.)
Ann: sorry, Jack.. I set that one up.. :-)
<*grumble* S'okay. I'll just never live it down, if these two have anything to say about it.>
AJ: Excuse me, jack?
AJ: For the moment....
Ann: I'll remember.. you want to be treated like a 12 year old...;-)
Ann: it was inferred..
<*rolls eyes* Whatever. This all got started because I liked that idea of two Sams in bed, didn't it?>
Ann: I'm not sure.. Ann: maybe Ann: it was could you handle two Sams
[What's wrong with the idea of just one Sam in bed, Jack? Am I not good enough to please you?]
Ann: not going to win this one, Jack
AJ: Oh, hell, Jack, you're in for it now..... *AJ & Janet watch Jack try to backpedal out of this one*
Ann: won't work Ann: too many witnesses.
Ann: Jack.. I'd stop talking while you're still standing
[*glares at Jack* Janet, AJ, do either of you have some spare room for a while? I think I need some time away from hormone boy over there.]
Ann: but Sam I was hearing that you and Jack were all over each other in Crystal Skull? Ann: only rumors in the head of shippers?
AJ: *instantly shoots up a hand* I've got room, Sam! You can stay with me.
[Thank you, AJ.]
[Oh, we were, Ann. Note the emphasis on WERE. Jack's going to need to grow up before I consider going back to him. I may lov--like him a lot, but I'm not going to put up with some antiquated machismo attitude.]
Ann: Jack.. I'd grow up and apologize Ann: if unless you want to sleep alone
[And I'm staying with AJ because I know up front what she's like. And because she knows I'll break her neck if she tries anything I don't agree to. Right, AJ?]
AJ: Uh, yeah.
Ann: Sam what can Jack do to apologize? Ann: unless AJ wants your company of course
[I said no such thing.]
(No, I heard it, too, Sam.)
AJ: Me, too.
[Oh, shut up all of you!]
Ann: I thought it was the L word and not like
[What can he do to apologize? I've told him time and again what I want. So has Janet, and AJ, and Danny, and even Teal'c and General Hammond. If he can't figure it out, maybe it's not worth it.]
Ann: Jack wake up.. she means it.
[*glares at Ann* It was a slip of the tongue. I did not actually say the whole word, so it doesn't count.]
(*chuckle* Damn, Sam, now you're starting to sound like Jack over there.)
Ann: two of them in denial.. so interesting to watch
<*gets down on his knees in front of Sam* Sam, baby, please, listen to me. I'm an old man and I've been set in my ways for many years, but I've been trying to change for you. But if I change everything, I'm not gonna be the Jack you love....and I know you love me, just as much as I love you. Please, baby, give me another chance?>
Ann: Jack said Love?!
(Isn't it tho'? Now you see what I get to watch every day. It's rather entertaining, to be quite honest.)
<*rolls his eyes at Ann* Yes, I said love....Is that so hard to believe?>
Ann: yes..no.. and heartfelt.. but Sam.. what do you say now? Ann: hey... only my kids roll their eyes at me.
[*looks at Jack for a long moment, studying his face* I don't know, Jack. I mean, what's to stop you from finding another Laira? Or doing any of the other stupid things you've done over the past 3 years? How can I be sure I won't get hurt?>
AJ: sorry...ended with the wrong symbol there...was thinking of Jack's response already
Ann: lol Ann: understood. Ann: are they thinking the same thing? :-)
AJ: In some ways, yes they are.... AJ: And I know for a fact that I'm gonna turn this into a story for the list....Do you mind if I add in your bits of the convo? co-authorship?
Ann: no problem..:-) Ann: well not co authorship Ann: maybe a thank you
[I know. I'm just worried, Jack.]
AJ: that works
(Will you two stop yammering about the story? I'm trying to listen to jack and Sam! I need gossip here....)
Ann: Jack.. more honesty here.. is needed. Ann: yes, Janet. Ann: agreed.. Jack...
Ann: so.. you turned to Laira? Ann: oh please.. Jack that is sooo male Ann: she was going to toss out your SG1 stuff Ann: and took a good long time in telling you about Teal'c and you still invited her back to Earth?
Ann: and if she did?
Ann: but.. you invited her.. Ann: two sides.. you knew she would say no?
Ann: Lucky for you, Jack
*AJ & Janet glance over at Sam, who is sitting rather quietly in front of Jack....
(You'd better apologize long and hard for that, Jack. You didn't see what it did to Sam when you were gone, how she nearly killed herself to bring you back and you didn't even thank her.)
Ann: and then you and the General didn't trust your team in the Maybourne situation
Ann: and what happened? Ann: you forgot? or chickened out?
Ann: so.. you think the General should apologize.. I don't think so.
(He does have a point there, Ann. We didn't let him anywhere near Sam unless one of us was with her.)
Ann: but you have black ops training.. you could have figured out a way.. after all Karen had you do that
<*thinks for a moment* She did? Now why don't I remember that?>
Ann: so where are you now? Ann: yeah... Sam wouldn't talk to you so you spirited her off.. Ann: door no handles.. to a cabin..no heat Ann: very romantic
<*confused* That really happened? Damn, I thought that was a dream....But regardless, you're right. I could have gotten to Sam and told her. And I didn't. I didn't know how to get past her 24/7 bodyguard patrol. And, to be honest, having them not know made for the best reactions around the base in what happened. It made it all the more believable.>
[All the more believable? It nearly killed me, and all you cared about was believability to catch Maybourne? You're a pompous ass, Jack!]
Ann: lol Ann: I'd be careful Jack.. I don't think Sam is quite ready to be happy with you just yet
Ann: so.. you did all of this for Sam
Ann: believable, Sam?
(So you're saying that if you get recruited for Black Ops missions again, you're going to tell Sam next time? Or at least tell someone in the team so we can help her through it better?)
Ann: Oh I like that Janet.
[*blinks away tears* So help me, Jack, if you're lying....]
Ann: ahh.. sweet
(I'm not going to sit back and watch Sam try to kill herself with grief again, not now, not ever. If you can tell no one else of these things, you tell me. I'll keep it confidential enough so that no one knows I know, but I need to be able to support Sam when you're gone like that.)
Ann: whoa... that sounds serious.
Ann: so.. Sam still not going home with him? Ann: I think there are enough witnesses here to keep him honest
[*bites her lower lip, then looks up at Jack* You're promising on Charlie's memory? Jack, are you sure you're ready for that kind of commitment?]
(Oh, believe me, all he needs is me to keep him in line now....But having you and AJ helps, Ann)
AJ: Ann, now do you see what happens when I let these three out to play?
Ann: lol Ann: very dangerous.
AJ: exactly my point. and this is the first time i've let all three out together...it's usually singly or in pairs....
Ann: but Jack really does have a little thing called love going for him
AJ: Yes, he does....and if he's smart, he'll do what's right....
<*motions for AJ & Ann to shut up for a moment* Sam, baby, I'm more than ready for that kind of commitment. Hell, I've been moving things around in my house to make room for you....and for our kids whenever we have them. I don't want to end up a bitter old man again, like before I met you. You are the best thing that's happened to me since Charlie, and I don't intend to screw things up with you if I can help it.>
Ann: must be the spring weather.. making you all romantic jack
AJ: well, i've got all three of them clamouring for the keyboard....and Danny, Teal'c and Hammond are starting to...and i don't have symbols for them yet
Ann: could use exclamation marks and asterisks
AJ: I use asterisks for MY actions....maybe exclamation marks, tildas, and equal signs?
Ann: Jack you really are a romantic person at heart Ann: or dashes Ann: slashes and back slashes
<*rolls his eyes again* Yeah well outside of the present company, don't expect me to admit that in public, okay?>
//You'll admit whatever you're commanded to admit, Son//
AJ: oh hell, hammond's in my brain now!!!
Ann: lol Ann: so Gen.. do we need to work on those regs?
Ann: wouldn't want our favorite duo court martialed
//No, Jack, I'm just making a guest appearance. I don't intend to stay. And yes, Ann, I'm working on those regs. I've been looking for loopholes and seeing what favors I can call in. Not that I haven't been lenient already....//
Ann: blind eye and all Ann: and maybe a helping hand
//Hell, you'd have to be blind not to see how much these two care for each other. I may be an old man, and a general to boot, but I'm not stupid. And I hope Jack's not being too stupid. I don't like to see Sam crying, you know.//
Ann: wow.. Jack not sarcastic.. I think this conversation has been good for you.
<*glares at Ann* Just don't let it be public knowledge, okay? I don't need my entire reputation ruined here. I just -- I just want things to be okay with Sam, that's all.>
Ann: my lips are sealed.
AJ: Mine too
(Mine, too)
//And mine//
Ann: and Gen. Hammond is on their side too.. sweet
//Of course, I am, Ann. I may come off like a hardass, but I'm a big old teddy bear deep down....And if anyone catches wind of that, I'll court- martial all of you. Is that understood?// Ann: like before.. lips sealed. Ann: sitting back and enjoying the ride
*AJ & Janet nod
//Good. And on that note, I've got to debrief SG-11 in a few minutes. AJ, I trust you'll let me know how things turn out?//
AJ: Yes, Sir, General Hammond.
Ann: waits patiently..
[I don't know what to say right now, Jack. I'm kind of in shock here. I wasn't expecting the conversation to turn the way it did. And I certainly wasn't expecting your admissions.]
[*nods, sniffling back tears* Yes, Jack, I do. I love you, Jack, even when you're an insufferable, idiotic ass. I don't know how many times Janet's threatened to beat me senseless if I didn't say something to you.]
(Damned straight, I did.)
[I'm saying....I love you, Jack. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. But I don't want to have to deal with all the bullshit we've had to deal with so far. I can't handle anymore of that.]
AJ: damn, but they do have a flair for the dramatic, don't they?
Ann: heart.. pitter patters.. happily Ann: well that's why we love them so.
Ann: holds breathe.. at Sammie use..
(Here we go with "Sammie" again *rolls eyes*)
[Jack?]
[Don't ever call me 'Sammie' again, okay? There are only 3 people in this world allowed to call me that. My father, my brother....and my mom. And I don't believe you're any one of them.]
[Now, as for calling me 'baby]
Ann: smiles at how meek Jack is.
[I think I can handle that, as long as you don't use it condescendingly. Got it, Jack?]
<*grins at Ann* Whatever it takes to make my Sam happy.>
Ann: :-)
AJ: So, kids, is everything solved now? Everything happy?
(Sam?)
Ann: Sam?
[Yes, AJ, everything's okay....for now. We'll see how well Jack keeps his promise.]
(And you know that I'm going to make sure Daniel and Teal'c know what the score is.)
AJ: And I'll tell the general.
Ann: witnesses..Sam.. witnessses.. we'll hold Jack's feet to the fire to keep him honest
AJ: And of course, this will be going to the list, Jack, you know that, right?
<*grudgingly* yes, AJ, I know that.>
Ann: lol
(So, AJ, since Sam won't be needing to bunk down over at your place anymore, you wanna come spend the weekend with me? Cassie's gone on a school weekend camping trip....)
AJ: Ah...um......
<*raises eyebrows in amusement* Yeah, AJ, what's up with you and Janet?>
[Yeah, AJ....I've heard some interesting things....]
AJ: I'm pleading the fifth.... *whispers to Janet* I'll be there at 8....
Ann: lol
AJ: Shut UP, Jack!
Ann: Jack.. don't you have better things to be doing?
AJ: Shut up, or I'll tell Sam about what you told me...
<*instantly shuts up* No, I don't know what you're talking about, AJ. And you promised you'd keep that a secret till I thought the time was right. *grabs Sam's hand* Come on, baby, let's go out to dinner to celebrate.>
[*stops in her tracks* No, Jack, I don't think so. I want to know what AJ knows....and I want a kiss, damnit!]
Ann: KISSING.. first comes love...
AJ: Then comes marriage
(then comes baby in a baby carriage....after Sam gets off the pill)
Ann: lol at Janet. Ann: yup.
<*tries to ignore the three women and pulls Sam close for a tender kiss* I love you, Sam>
Ann: should we give them their privacy?
AJ: I think so. It's only fair....
Ann: oh what a night
AJ: No kidding.... AJ: Okay, I gotta beat feet now anyway....I got a pagan meeting to go to tonight....
Ann: k
AJ: talk to you later....
Ann: have a good evening
AJ: okay.... talk to you later
**A few moments pass by in relative silence**
[They gone yet?]
<*looks around* Coast is clear. C'mere, baby.>
[*moves into Jack's arms, accepting his gentle kiss, purring* Mmmm....I thought they'd NEVER leave.]
**Discreet fade to black....cuz Showtime will never show us what we really want to see anyway....**
