Rating: R (there is ONE chapter that may technically cross over to NC-17) please do not read that chapter if you are underage.

Diclaimers: This is an original work of fiction. I do not mind if you wish to post/link this, but please give credit to me. The original author can be contacted at collegegal17@hotmail.com. Also, I do not own and am in no way associated with SG1 or any of its characters, and what a shame that is too. What I would do with them if I did........

Pairings: Jack and Sam

Author's notes [AN]: This is the first fic I've ever finished, let alone displayed. I'd LOVE feedback and I couldn't find a beta reader at 2 am so I edited myself so pardon any mistypes. There is one place I just HAD to put an AN in the middle of a chapter, sorry, just had to be done. Also, some of my chapter titles are quite clever, others are not. Oh well, I'm just happy I finally found a title for the story as a whole.

Prologue

Jack turned over restlessly in bed. He'd been having trouble sleeping for weeks now, but he knew the reason…sort of. He'd been in love with her for years, why was this giving him such a problem now? It was possible that his impending birthday had him thinking about how he'd wasted another year. He threw back the covers and swung his feet over the edge of his bed and stood up. If he couldn't sleep he might as well finish those back mission reports…

Ch. 1: Just another mission...right?

Sam stepped out of the Stargate on P4X-121 and the wormhole closed behind her. Daniel was already practically drooling over the symbols on the pillars around the gate. The pillars were the remains of what Daniel guessed used to be a shelter over the gate. Daniel mumbled something to himself and Sam couldn't help a smile. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Teal'C stoically standing guard and Jack...well he seemed to be glaring at the trees. Sam walked over to him. "Sir?"

"They're purple Carter. Purple and Yellow. That's just...not right." Jack turned to face his team. They were all relaxed. Uninhabited planet, good weather, plenty of ruins for Danny, and traces of Naqueda for Sam. "Alright, Teal'C, Daniel: play with the rocks while Carter and I go find some dirt to analyze. Check in at 1000 and we'll take it from there." It was almost 0900 and he knew Carter wanted to head toward the hills off to the East. That's where she expected to find the highest concentration of Naqueda...wait, had he actually paid attention at that morning's briefing?

Teal'C nodded. "Understood O'Neill."

Sam bent to scoop up a soil sample at the edge of a cave. As she stood back up, something caught her eye. "Uhh, Colonel?"

Jack turned around. "Carter, can you just hurry..." He stared at the girl, probably in her late teens. "Hello."

The girl stared at them tensely before she spoke. "I extend to you the greetings of my people." She paused. "Where did you come from?"

"We came through the Stargate." Jack noticed her blank look. "Sha'pa'hi?" Still nothing. "Big round thing with funny symbols?"

The girl paled. "You came from the Shoo'a'ma? The...the prophesies are true then." She dropped to her knees. "My queen...I regret my disbelief in your promise to return."

Sam decided she should take over. "What prophesies?"

The girl didn't look up at Sam. "The writings on the wall that tell of your promise to return to us when you are most needed."

Sam had to think fast...before Jack could open his mouth. "Will you take us to the one who leads your people?"

The girl stood but kept her eyes on the ground. "Of course my queen." The girl headed down a passageway at a slight trot. Wordlessly, Jack and Sam followed her.
