On The Line

Chapter 1

Daniel woke up as Janet began tossing and turning in her sleep, the images she was seeing as she slept plaguing her once again. She had been having nightmares every night for over a two weeks now and he was really starting to worry about her. They had been to see Dr Warner who had given her something to help her sleep but the nightmares were only getting worse.

"No" Janet said in her sleep and Daniel turned the light at the side of his bed on.

"Janet" he said sitting up and slightly and leaning over her to wake her. "Janet"

"No" Janet said again as she woke with a start.

"It's okay, it's okay, it was just another nightmare"

Janet sat up in the bed and pulled her legs up to her chest before dropping her head into her knees.

"It's not okay Daniel, neither of us are getting any sleep" she snapped without even looking at him. She had been doing that for over a week now, snapping at everyone.

"We need to go see Dr Warner again"

"And what is he going to do? He's already given me something to help me sleep, he can't do anything else"

"Well what he gave you isn't working. Your nightmares are getting worse and you're getting more and more irritable by the day"

Janet took a deep breath "I know, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you"

"I know you didn't" Daniel said taking his fiancée into his arms and holding her tightly.

"I love you" she said quietly.

"I love you to"

"I can prescribe you some stronger sleeping pills" Dr Warner said as Daniel and Janet sat in the infirmary and I can run some test to see if anything is causing this. Other than that the only thing I can suggest is that you talk to Dr Mackenzie"

"Oh no, I don't think so" Janet said.

"Let's just see what the tests turn up" Daniel suggested hoping Janet wouldn't start snapping at people again.

"Okay I'll run them now" Dr Warner told them as he left the room.

"I have some paper work to get done" Janet said calmly.

"Okay, don't over do it" Daniel said as he kissed her cheek before heading for his office.

When he arrived in his office he found Jack there waiting for him "Another rough night?" Jack asked taking in Daniel's exhausted appearance.

"She's getting worse" Daniel said as he dropped into the chair next to Jack.

"She'll be okay"

"I hope so, Dr Warner's running some tests to see if he can find anything that might be causing this. Anyway" Daniel said changing the subject "Have you asked her yet?"

"No"

"Come on Jack, you've had that ring for weeks now, just ask her already"

"Give me chance to work up the nerve" Jack said

"Look you love her and she loves you and she isn't going to marry you if you don't ask her to. On the other hand she might end up asking you" Daniel said smiling at the look on Jack's face.

"No, I'll never live that down"

"Then ask her"

"Ask who what?" Sam asked as she walked into the room, catching the end of the conversation and making both men jump.

"Nothing" Jack said waving it off in a very convincing way, Daniel almost believed him.

"You look rough Daniel" Sam said looking at Daniel.

"Rough night"

Sam walked into the infirmary looking for Janet and when she didn't see her she went to knock on her office door.

"Janet?" Sam said as she knocked.

"What!?" She heard Janet's voice snap from the other side of the door and Sam hesitated a moment before walking in.

"Hey" she said quietly, she didn't fail to notice how worn down and exhausted her friend looked.

"Hey Sam, sorry I yelled"

"That's okay, we're all going to the commissary for dinner so I though I'd come and get you"

"I could use a break" Janet said as she stood up and walked around her desk. The two of them walked out of Janet's office and headed toward the commissary.

"Oh the dress makers called, they need to reschedule are fittings" Sam told her suddenly realising now was probably not the best time.

"For Gods sake" Janet said angrily

"I told them I'd talk to you and call them back to rearrange it"

"Arrange it for whenever" Janet said her voice showing a lack of interest which worried Sam. Until this week both Sam and Janet had got excited over every little detail involved in planning the wedding. Janet's wedding dress had got her more excited than any of the other things they had to sort out.

As they walked into the commissary Janet walked straight over to the counter to get food. She didn't even bother to acknowledge that she'd seen the boys who were all sitting at a table with their food. They all looked at Sam questioningly, she just gave them a small smile and shook her head, telling them to just leave it.

"Jack we are not going to Karaoke night" Daniel said in amusement.

"Oh come on, why not?"

"Because you'll get up and sing"

"I take offence at that, I have a wonderful voice. Guys we have the weekend off, do you know how rare that is? We have to do something"

"Fine but not Karaoke"

"Fishing?"

"No"

"Ice skating?"

"No"

"Skiing?"

"No"

"For Gods sake both of you shut up!" Janet shouted as she stood up from the table "If you can't agree on what we're gonna do then we won't do anything!"

They all watched in shock as Janet stormed out of the commissary "Okay, I know she's been kinda snappy all week but that was way out of character" Jack spoke up, still reeling from Janet's uncharacteristic outburst.

"Something's going on, I don't know what but this is more than sleepless night and nightmares" Daniel stated as he got up "I'm going to find Dr Warner"

"Hold on Daniel, we'll come with you"
