~*Healing*~
Daniel was standing outside of the infirmary waiting for Jacob to be finished talking to Sam. While he was waiting the events of the last few days were running through his head. He didn't even know what to think about it. He just wished that Sam wasn't the one that got hurt. It seemed to him that she has been getting hurt a lot lately, and this disturbed him greatly. When the whole kidnaping incident was over, Daniel started realizing that he somewhere began to think of Sam as more than just a friend and co-worker. Because of this, Daniel didn't know how to act around her. And that became a problem when Sam got back from her mishap with the Prometheus.
*****
Daniel went walking into the infirmary to see how Sam was. He didn't have the chance to see her when she got back. As soon as he stepped into the infirmary he was stopped by a nurse whom he had no recollection of her name. "Dr. Jackson, thank goodness you are here. Major Carter woke up a few minutes ago screaming and we don't know how to get her to calm down, maybe you can help."
Daniel followed the young woman to where Sam was. All he heard from Sam was "no, I have to stay awake, I need get back."
Daniel made it over to her, took one of her hands into his and with his other hand, he started stroking her hair back away from her face. "Come on Sam, you're ok now, just wake up."
Sam started to calm down and slowly she began to wake up. She felt someone holding her hand and stoking her hair. "Daniel.."
"Yeah, that's it Sam come on." Sam slowly opened her eyes and they slowly focused on Daniel, who was sitting on her left side on the side of the bed.
"Daniel?" Sam said as she sat up. She sat up too quickly and got dizzy, so she laid back down."Yeah, I'm going to stay here for awhile."
"Ok, so how are you feeling?"
"Well, beside the fact that I'm dizzy, I feel a bit tired, but I know that sleep will be good." As Sam was saying this, her eyes moved from looking at him to a spot on the wall.
Daniel picked up on this, he put his free hand under her chin and guided her face back so he was looking into her eyes."You don't want to go back to sleep, do you?"
"No, I keep having nightmares about it.." Sam said. As Daniel watched her speak, he could see the tears welling up in her eyes, but he also knew that she didn't want to release any.
"How about this. I'll stay here until you fall asleep."
"Will you stay with me for awhile? I don't want to wake up again by myself." Daniel took one look at her and caved.
"Ok, I'll stay with you." Daniel went to move off of the bed but Sam stopped him.
"Please, stay where you are...Will you lay with me?" Sam looked at Daniel with tears falling down her face.
"Yes, I'll stay." With that, Sam moved over to the opposite side of the bed and rolled on her side. Daniel laid down next to her, he wrapped his left arm around her waist and he put his right hand near her head. Sam put her left hand over Daniel's and laced her fingers thru it. Her right hand went up near her head, and when it got close enough, Daniel took it in his.

As he scanned the wall next to the infirmary his gaze fell on some graffiti on the bulletin board.
"You see I've always been a fighter/But without you I give up. Bon Jovi"
He felt his mind getting tugged once more with memories. It was as if his mind was constantly on replay. He didn't know where or when these memories would come flooding back to him, so there wasn't any way to stop them. In his mind he started to remember a recent incident. It was the kind of memory that screamed "wet paint" that it was just so fresh and new that it fully didn't cement itself in the brain quite yet.
******
Daniel was sitting in his living room thinking about the past few days events. Bon Jovi's 'Always' was playing in his cd player. He had a beer bottle in one hand and a picture of him and Sarah in another. Sarah was moved to the Air Force Hospital off base and Sam told him that Pete was heading back to Denver. Daniel's thoughts drifted back to a conversation that he had with Sam earlier that day. "So what are you doing tonight?"
"Well, Pete is leaving tonight. Then after that, I don't know."
"Well, if you're up for company tonight, just come over."
"Ok, We'll see."
After that they went their separate ways. Daniel wasn't sure what to think of this Pete character. Well, he felt jealous towards him, but he didn't know what to do about the whole situation. Sam seemed like she was happy and that's all that he wanted for her. If that meant that he could never have her, then so be it. This line of thinking was stopped when he was drawn out of his thoughts by the ringing of his doorbell. Daniel put the bottle down on the table next to the couch and the picture back into his desk. Daniel answered his door to a sad looking, alcohol carrying best friend. "Sam, come in."
He moved out of the doorway so she could come in. Daniel took the bag from her and went into the living room to set it on the table. When he turned around to see if she was coming, he found her right behind him. Daniel could tell that there was something bothering her, "Sam, what is wrong?"
Daniel didn't get an answer from her, all she did was throw her arms around his waist and buried her face in his neck. His arms automatically went around her. One went around her back and the other went to cup the back of her neck. They stood like that for while, until Sam pulled away from him.
"Sorry" she mumbled as she looked at the floor.
"It's ok. Come on, come sit down."
Sam went and sat on the couch and Daniel followed her after he grabbed his beer and her bag.Daniel sat on the opposite end of the couch from where she sat. "So what is it Sam? Earlier you were all happy and all that and now you're sad."
Sam took the bag that she brought with her from Daniel and pulled out a bottle of vodka. She was so deep in thought that she didn't even notice when Daniel went into the kitchen and came back with a cup that he put into front of her. "Thanks Daniel."
Daniel just sat there, watching Sam pour the drink into the cup and drink it. He knew that there was something bothering her, but he also knew that she would tell him in her own time. All he could do was sit and wait until she was ready to open up to him. Around five minutes passed until Sam spoke again. "Pete left tonight."
"That's good. I'm sure he'll get home safely."
"Yeah, but..." Sam looked down at her hands, "he decided that we shouldn't see each other anymore."
"What?! Why?"
Before Sam answered him she took another drink, then another. "Truthfully. He said that he couldn't compete with the man that held my heart and he knew that he was not that person. He also said that it probably would never work between us because he would never understand the work I do. He thinks that I need to find someone who understands what I do and will listen and not get a blank face every time I talk about reactors and generators. He said that there was someone in my life already who fits that description, and I should tell him how I feel because he feels the same way." After she was done, she took another drink of vodka.
Daniel just looked at her after she was done talking... He really didn't know what to say to her about the whole situation. All of his mind wondered who was this guy that she liked if it wasn't Pete. "I'm sorry Sam, you know this isn't your fault."
"Daniel, first off, please it's not your fault so don't apologize and second, I know it's not my fault, but it just seems that I can't get any guy to stick around. I think I should give up on guys all together."
"Sam, don't say that. What about this guy that you like?" Daniel waited for an answer, but when he didn't get one, he looked over and saw that Sam had passed out. Daniel took his bottle and her stuff out to the kitchen and turned off all of the lights. He then went over to her and lifted her up so he could carry her to his spare room. Daniel laid her on the bed and paused as she stirred in her sleep.
"I'm sorry Dan."
"It's ok, Sam." He answered as he put a blanket on her, he kissed her forehead then left the room.
