When he turned over, her hands ended up resting on his stomach, and they went very still when he said I wanna have sex again. No, she shouldn't really be surprised by that, considering that he'd made it clear these last few weeks even if he hadn't come out and said it as blatantly as he just had, but still... she was surprised.
And she had no idea what to say that wouldn't come out sounding like she didn't want to be with him.
She just sat there for a minute with a hand on his stomach, feeling his breathing, taking in the naked honesty in his expression. "You know I want that too," she said quietly. "But it's not that simple. God, I wish it was."
Sam wished that, just for once, she could take the easy way. She wanted to just wash her hands of her responsibilities to the timeline and to Earth and to the Air Force and just do what she wanted. But she had never been one to take the easy way, ever, and it was too late to walk that shortcut. When it came to her effort to get them home, she had to see it through to the end, whether it was successful or not, and if she was with Jack like that again she would give up on her work completely.
