''Another Day'' a
songfic by stargateSG147. Sam's POV
Note: this is not my first fanfic or
songfic... I did Zoey 101 stuff using a different name and have like
20 more that I don't feel like adapting for because I'm not
quite into it anymore... hey ya can't blame me when they're not even
showing eppies regularly... besides SG-1 is a way better show!...
also I've written (or started to) two other Stargate SG-1 fics that I
actually haven't finished and even if they were finished, I'd have to
proofread and all that crap. So this is my first fanfiction-ed SG1
fic... but it's actually the third I've written and the only (I
think) that I've finished. (so far) It's a LONG one-shot but I think
it's worth it.
WAY important note before the disclaimer: I do
not actually agree with using language, but it is a part of SG-1 so
you will see some starred-out words, but believe me, if I thought
that using made-up replacement words wouldn't add to the dorkiness of
my stories, I would use them. Keep this in mind.
DISCLAIMER:
I do not own Stargate and if I did, I'd be on it already. I also do
not own Natalie Grant's song 'Another Day'. I do, however, own this
story so no plagarisms, please. Some parts may be confusing because I
don't write enough information. Whatever.
Review and I might
actually put other stories up. Sorry the A/N is so long. Here we
goes! (lol)
How did I get here? Sam wondered. More
importantly, how did I get captured?
"And where's the
rest of SG-1?"
She picked herself off the floor and paced.
After a couple of steps, she heard a noise, like someone's arm had
hit a wall.
"Sam?" Jack's voice came from the other side
of the wall her bench was on.
"Colonel?" She waited at
the wall she'd heard his voice come from.
"Carter. Thought
you were dead."
"Negative. How'd we get here? Where's
Teal'c and—"
"Hold up, Carter. I don't know any more
than you do. And it's just us."
Intuitively, Sam pushed on
part of the wall. A block started to move. She popped it out.
"Hey,
good job Sam."
Now they could see each other through a hidden
gap in the wall from a loosened brick.
"So, how are we
gonna——" the sound of a Jaffa guard approaching Sam's door
was heard. The door opened.
"Major Samantha Carter, I
assume?"
The guard was a Goa'uld.
Sam's silence confirmed
the voice's question.
"I am Sha'vol, loyal servant to my lord
Apophis." (A/N, made him up.)
"Apophis is
dead."
"Yes, but I was one of the many Jaffa who
disreguarded the Tau'ri's claim that the Goa'uld are false gods."
More like an Apophis-servant-wannabe.
He stepped
closer.
"Well, just keep lyin' to yourself, buddy."
Goa'uld's are false gods. The death of Apophis is proof, you
dimwit! The reason I didn't say that is because what I did
say sounded tougher.
I heard O'Neill slightly chuckle at my
out-loud comment. (Sam is confusing me, and her, with all her
thoughts... some of which I ad-libbed.)
He'd better keep
quiet or he'll have a Goa'uld in his face, too.
"You know,
I'd really hate to have to kill you," the guard taunted.
"Well,
isn't that nice. Look, why am I here? How did I get here? And do you
know what's going to happen to you and your shipful of fools when my
team finds out where I am!"
He laughed. "Oh, so spicy
and spirited."
He grabbed my wrists, put them behind me and
held them with one hand while the other drifted along the back of my
shoulder. He was behind me now.
"Unfortunately for you, my
host rather liked military women. So maybe my host will get some
pleasure in with you before I take pleasure in
killing you." He was standing directly behind me, so close he
barely needed to talk above a whisper because his lips were right
next to my ear.
Using swift movement, I spun around so I was
facing him, wrenching my wrists out of his grasp. I kicked him in the
gut and was ready to fight harder. He sunk down to his knees,
gasping. I looked through the hole in the wall at Colonel O'Neill as
a way of indicating I was okay.
"Kree. Shol'vah!" The
guard shouted at me as he rose from his position on the floor. I
whipped around, ready to knock him to the floor again, but he had
already yanked out his Goa'uld hand device and was using it on
me.
"Aaih." (how do you spell a whine-like pain
sound?) I sunk to the floor, little by little, barely
understanding what was going on. I heard the guard laughing and
talking in Goa'uld. I don't know. Everything's... fading
out...
Someone... was that Orlin? Sounded like him... "No,
I don't want to ascend."
I said that. Oh, the pain. Why do
Goa'ulds have to be so d rude? Suddenly, there was a flash of
light and then I saw nothing but the calming ''pool of light'' part
of the Stargate. Oh, look — there's me and SG-1 coming through the
gate to a new planet. And again. And again. It seemed like all our
previous missions were begging to be remembered. I remember you. All
of you. Voices overlapped.
Jack's. "Carter...how...Will it
work?...Carter...Sam...D it Carter!...I didn't go back - because
I care for her - way more than I'm supposed to... no, Carter! Aren't
you crossing the... what are you doing? Mmphf."
Daniel's.
"You're right Sam...Sha're!...not technically...I'll be back
- I promise... Reese- your father made you wrong!... She didn't try
to hurt me... Mom!... Dad!... Sam! Jack! Teal'c!"
Dad's.
"I'm sorry... sorry, honey... Sammie- I'm so sorry... have
cancer...Sam..."
Hey, will you stop? I'm getting kind of
dizzy here! Hello?
"Hello?"
"SAM?" The last
time my name echoed in my mind, I woke up. Lights. Bright. Blinking.
Beeping. Janet. Lights. IV. Lights. Janet.
"Janet?" I
spoke, but my mouth was dry.
"Hey, honey. You awake?"
her soothing, familiar, mother-like voice officially awakened me.
I
blinked.
"Did... did Jack tell you...? Tell you where I
was?"
"Yes, he did. You barely made it out alive.
Neither of you would have, but thank God for the Asgard."
"I
was dead?"
"You were in a coma."
"How
long?"
"Colonel O'Neill woke up three weeks ago."
"Jack?
Is he okay?"
"Yes."
"He's right here,"a
new voice said.
O'Neill approached the side of my bed.
"Hey
Carter," he (sort of) smiled.
"Next time, don't wait for
a kiss from a prince to wake up, huh?"
I smiled.
"What
happened?" I sat up, suddenly and rapidly regaining
strength.
"That stinky Goa'uld used the hand device thingy on
you and then on me and if Freyr didn't pop up when he did, we woulda
been dead. Honestly, we never actually showed signs of waking up."
I
blinked.
"Actually, I woke up within two days. You,
however..." he didn't have to finish his sentence.
'We
didn't think you'd make it,' is what he was going to say.
I
wrapped my mind around the concept.
"But... before. How did
we get there?" Ah, returning to my logical self.
"Don't
know."
I was about to say 'As per usual,' but thought better
of it.
Instead we were just looking at each other with nothing to
say.
Then, I heard the click of Fraiser hanging up her phone. She
walked over and told Jack that Hammond wanted him.
"
'key-doke. See ya, Sam."
I can't believe I almost died.
1 1/2 weeks laterWow. That was one cool ceremony.
Colonel O'Neill had told General Hammond about my strong fight with
the Goa'uld before he almost condemned me to death. Hammond moved me
up to Colonel "for bravery."
Aw, shucks, I
thought, faking sheepishness. After the ceremony, O'Neill asked if he
could meet me somewhere for a late dinner. I said sure. So here I am,
on my way to Lucy's Homestyle Restaurant.
I walked in the door,
spotted O'Neill and went to his table. I sat down before he could
slide my chair out for me. He sat back down across from me.
I then
noticed there were no other chairs. Hmm.
"Just us
tonight?"
"Uh...yeah," he glanced around
distractedly. Wow, he looks anxious.
"Are you okay?" I
asked.
"Yeah, hey— congrats on movin' up to my level!"
He tried to be humorous, but his nervousness threw it
off.
"Sir?"
"Carter, look. I... really don't
expect you to answer me right away... or even at all...
but... We're same rank now. And we've worked closely together for
five years; or somethin' like that..." he paused, leaving his
sentence trailing behind him.
"Well, we know each other and
what we've been through. H, we've been through it all together. I
guess I'm just trying to say..." he pulled a stunning diamond
ring out of his jacket pocket.
"Wanna be engaged?" he
finished awkwardly.
(And kind of loudly, but I didn't notice or
care."
"OH MY G!" I squealed as I jumped out of
my chair. I flung my arms sround his neck.
"Yes, Jack!
Yes!"
I kissed him, something he wasn't prepared for. So in
conclusion, his chair tipped over backwards. Crash. So, we'd fallen
on the floor. Cool beans. Reluctantly, I stopped kissing him.
"By
the way, you know the phrase is 'Will you marry me'?"
"I'll
say it if I'll get the same answer," he replied softly in his
childish way.
I just tenderly kissed him.
"Let's get out
of here before we make a scene." (snortchuckle)
It
was Friday— crowd night at Lucy's... and ''off-duty'' night
for us. (which was already shown by them not actually being at the
SGC so I don't know why I pointed it out)
He slipped the ring
onto my finger, placed a ten dollar bill on the table for the beer he
hadn't even taken a sip of; and we walked out,
hand-in-hand.
one year later ( it's
EPILOUGE-ish)We've been married for seven months.
I'm two months pregnant, still going through the Stargate. (just less
often, but I make up for it by examining ANYTHING and
EVERYTHING that we bring back through the Gate. Janet says I
should take it easy. Sigh. Doctors...) and I still remember the night
that caused my rank move-up that caused my engagement and
marriage.
Thanks to the Goa'uld, I'd almost died. How
horrible.
Oddly enough, thanks to the Goa'uld, I'm happily married
to the love of my life and expecting a child.
How
strange.
