She's drunk. Samantha Carter is drunk. Now she's asleep with her head in my lap; passed out after two hours of crying. He picked her up and put her down on his bed. As he was standing up she latched onto his arm.

"Jack" she turned away taking his arm with her causing him to fall onto the bed.

"Carter, I need my arm." Nothing. Sighing he tried to make himself comfortable. She seemed to realize he was there because she turned towards him putting an arm around his waist and a leg across his. He couldn't hold back the groan when her knee rubbed him. Someone somewhere was laughing their ass off at him; he was positive.

He still doesn't know what's wrong. He does know it has to do with a guy. She tried to tell him but could only get to he before the sobs started again. Whoever it was is going to pay. Very slowly.
She started to stir. He dropped the hand that someway made it to her hair. She started to sit up but quickly laid back down. Neither said a word. Somehow his hand made it back to her hair running his fingers through it.

"He hates me. He is dying and wants me to go back to NASA so he can call in the favors owed to him to bump me to the head of the line for the next shuttle. I had to lie to him. He's dying and I lied. Its what I wanted to do my whole life and I told him no. He knows the cover story is bull. Begged me to tell him what's so damn great that I'd turn down my dream and I couldn't. He walked out. We never got along well but what little we had is gone because I wouldn't tell him that I am living my dream; going farther then I ever thought possible in my lifetime."

He gave her a moment to see if she was going to say anything else; when she didn't he asked who.
"My father." An image of the man he meet, a general, Carters father, came to mind. Okay so maybe he won't try and hurt him. She lifted her head up and looked at him, "Thank you." Before he could say anything she lent down and gave him a small kiss, put her head on his chest and went back to sleep.
