In the past year, I have been through a lot in my life. The person who was once my best friend turned into someone I hated and my view of life has been greatly altered. Around June of last year, I started to watch Stargate SG-1 and I fell in love with it. Since then, I have seen all of Stargate SG-1, Atlantis and I am eagerly awaiting the return of Universe. Even after all of the struggles this past year, most of not mentioned, I always had one thing I could rely on and this was my writing. It was about a month ago that I started to write again and the feelings emerge from my body as a stroke the keys and all is well… Life is not in balance and catharsis is achieved. I hope you enjoy…

I do not own Stargate SG-1 or any of the characters associated with it.

I was heading back to my dorm. Doc Frasier did not want any off world team members to leave the base for twenty-four hours due to harmful cotangents that could appear within the incubation time. We had just gotten visited the new Tollan home world and the Goa'ould ship that was in orbit caused quite a lot of ruckus. It had been a really long day and I was looking forward to a nice hot shower. Right as I was about to get undressed, I heard a knock at my door.

"Com in." The door opened and there stood the 'famous' Colonel Jack O'Niell. "Hey, I was just about to take a shower. Anything you need?"

"Are you okay?" I opened my mouth to speak. "And don't tell me yes. I know how close you and Narim were. It can't be easy." The events that took place earlier that day finally hit me. A good friend of mine was presumed dead because of the attack on his world and that same world was presumed destroyed.

"I don't know Jack, yes." I sat on the bed. "I mean, we see disasters everyday, why is today any different?" His deep brown eyes stared into mine and he sat next to me, holding me.

"Because he loved you. I know you see stuff like this every day but that does not mean you can lose your sense of feeling. You should know that better than anyone Sam."

"I know that… listen, can we just sit here for a while, no talking?"

"Sure." He propped himself up against the headboard and held me. We sat in silence utter silence in each other's arms and it felt so right, like I belonged there.

We sat there for who knows how long. Whether it was minutes or hours, it was nice. I looked up at him and looked into his eyes. That's when I noticed it, the look in his eyes as he looked at me. It was the look I had, what I felt. That's when he kissed me.

We had been sitting there in utter silence for God knows hoe long. I loved the smell of her hair as she rested it against me chest and the feeling of her breathing against my arms. It was soft, warm and gentle, just like her.

But after sitting here so long, I could not take it. I felt her move and she looked up at me. I could not stand the temptation anymore and I just kissed her. That was when I realized just how much I loved her.

It was during that kiss that all the years of tension exploded. It was the type of first kiss that one only sees in movies. It was one so beautiful and so right. We both knew that this could get us in heaps of trouble, but not even the thought of court marshal could stop this. She spun around in order to face me and I pulled away from her warm embrace.

That kiss was filled with so much passion. We were finally kissing, embracing, and he pulled away.

"What's wrong Jack?" He looked deeply into my eyes as if to think. After a few seconds of silence, he answered me.

"Samantha Carter…" He took a breath. "I love you."
