The number of years he had loved her.

9...

The number of times she'd single-handedly saved the world.

8...

The number of times he'd almost lost her and he'd felt his world end.

7...

The number of times she'd changed her hairstyle. He liked this newest look the best, he decided, as he tangled his fingers in her long, soft curls.

Her favorite number. He wouldn't tell her he knew it was purely because of its scientific value. Something to do with integers and divisors making it the first perfect number.

The number of times he'd whispered 'C'mere' after a tough mission and he'd held her close.

The number of forbidden kisses he'd stolen when he was still her CO.

She was the one. The one who saved him and gave him a reason to live again.

Happy New Year!

Shouts of 'Happy New Year!' rang out around them. Cheers erupted, champagne flowed, hugs and kisses were exchanged; but the couple were oblivious, only having eyes for each other.

"Happy New Year, Sam," he whispered, leaning close.

"Happy New Year, Jack," she smiled before claiming his lips with hers.
