Hammond : ok then, SG1 you're in holidays for two weeks now.
Jack : at last ! Well thanks general.
Teal'c : general, I'd like to come back on my planet for this period.
General : sure Teal'c.
The Jaffa nodded.
The team saluted the general and left the room.
------------------------
Jack : so Carter ? What will you do ? Stay in your lab as usual ?
Sam, smiling : yes sir.
Jack : I don't need to ask you for coming fishing with me, I already know the answer. So well… have fun with your machines. See you in two weeks.
Sam : thanks sir. Have fun too.
Jack : I will, count on it. Teal'c, say hello to your family for us.
Teal'c : I'll do it colonel O'Neill. And good luck…
Jack to Carter : why is he looking at me like that ?
She smiled and left them.
--------------------------
3 days later.
Sam's lab.
Sam heard footsteps coming near her lab. She first believed that it would be Jack but she sighed remembering that he was gone.
Janet : hi there.
Sam : oh Janet. Hi.
Janet : do I disturb you ?
Sam : no. don't worry. I was to take a pause.
Janet : what do you think of watching a movie ?
Sam : sounds good.
---------------------
TV room.
Janet walked towards the TV. She read : 'Warning : the TV set is out of order. Sorry for that. It'll be repaired ASAP.'
Janet : damn it !
Sam : what ?
Janet : TV's out of order.
Sam : oh.
Janet : wanna drink and talk with a friend ?
Sam : yeah. What do you want to drink ? There's water or coke or peach juice.
Janet : peach juice. Thanks.
Sam : aye doctor.
Janet : so how are your experiences ?
Sam : it works.
Janet : and…
Sam : I don't want to talk about that.
Janet looked surprised. It was the first time that Sam refused to talk about science.
Janet : oh. Are you ok ?
Sam : yeah why ?
Janet : Sam, listen, why don't you take some time off ?
Sam, against all odds : I'd like.
Janet, surprised : so what's the problem ?
Sam : what do you do when you're free ?
Janet : oh, most of the time, I'll leave the town with Cassie. We pass the time talking, walking, laughing together.
Sam sighed.
Sam : that's it. I don't know what to do.
Janet : why don't you visit your brother ?
Sam : I… look Janet, don't think that I'm egoism or whatever but each time I go there, I'm depressed.
Janet : why ?
Sam : because he has what I've let passing by me. What I'll never have.
Janet knew what she was talking about but wanted to hear it from her.
Sam : I mean, he's got someone who loves him and he loves his wife. He's got beautiful children.
Janet : I see. Sam… sure, you don't have children, for the moment but you have someone you love and who loves in return. You're just to stubborn to admit it.
Sam :…
Janet, smiling : well, it's a good start. At least you do not deny it. Why don't you join him ?
Sam : Janet… I cant' do that.
Janet : and why not ? For crying out lout Sam !
Sam : I… the regs…, the general Hammond…
Janet : please Sam. When you've engaged in the army, it wasn't for destroying your life. You've done more for the army than for yourself. When will you be aware that you're allowed to be happy. I know that officially you're not allowed to love the colonel. But tell me what is official here ?
Sam couldn't help but smile : Janet, it's not the same thing.
Janet : I know. I just want you to be happy. You deserve it.
Sam : and what if it doesn't work ?
Janet : first of all, it will work because you're made for each other and second, you'll regret if you don't do it. I know what I'm talking about believe me.
Sam : Janet ?
Janet : Daniel's gone Sam. For ever. Don't do the same mistake as I've done. Sam, no second guessing, stop pretending.
Seeing the tears in Janet's eyes, Sam stood up and hugged her.
Sam : I'm so sorry Janet. For Daniel and you. For not having being there to help you.
Janet : you were there. But now, don't let this chance passes by you.
Sam : thanks. Janet, I'll be there if you need…
Janet : I know. Thank you. hey Sam !
Sam : yeah ?
Janet : don't forget a plan to go there.
Sam, smiling nervously : yeah thanks.
