Author's Note: This is my first attempt at a story, so there are bound to be mistakes. This one will be short, as it deals with Sam's ability (or lack thereof) to deal with the death of her dad, Jacob. The events of this story take place immediately after the 8th season episode "Threads".
Sam was glad to have the other members of SG-1 with her. After all, it helped that they were there when she needed them most. This was definitely one of those times. Here she was, brooding about the loss of her father while fishing in a lake with no fish in it. Of course, knowing that it was Jack O'Neill's cabin helped her mood considerably. She had known Jack, there was no need to go by their ranks, for 8 years and knew that she had had the hots for him ever since the Antarctic gate incident.
Jack had been worried about Sam ever since Jacob died. Now that the relationship with the lovely CIA official Ms. Johnson was over, he could concentrate on Sam. God, she looks great., he thought. Of course, he had those thoughts almost every day. He thought about what Ms. Johnson had said with regard to his feelings for Sam. Was he ready to retire or resign from the SGC? He was pulled out of his train of thought by Daniel, who was sitting beside Teal'c and behind the general
"Jack?"
"Daniel?" This was getting to be old hat for O'Neill. He loved doing this to Daniel because Daniel was his favorite person to tease.
"You are aware that there are no fish in the lake?" he asked.
"As I was telling Carter here earlier, Daniel, yes. Anything else?" Jack asked, annoyed. If there was one person who annoyed him most, it was Daniel.
"Actually, there was." Daniel said, not picking up the annoyance in Jack's voice. "I was wondering what your plans for the future were?"
It was at this point that Carter started breaking down. The events of the past couple of days had certainly taken their toll on Sam and it was starting to show now that she was off base. Teal'c was the first to notice.
"Are you all right, Colonel Carter?" Teal'c asked.
"No, Teal'c." Sam said. After all, losing her father was traumatic.
Note: I will be working on an AU myself, however it will be starting at the very beginning (in other words, right after the movie).
