I decided to write something for Jack and Sam, finally. And when I started to think what will my story be about, this idea occured my mind :) Hey btw., don't you now how to make a common name for them? I tried Sack, Jam, even Jamanta, but it just can't... In Doctor who it's easy-Doctor and Rose is Doctose or Rosector, in Merlin it's Merthur, Arwen, Freylin and others, but here? (And sorry for any grammar mistakes-I'm not native speaker)
Enjoy :)

Story: Please stop
Chapter 1: Truth or lie
By: Mischel

Something was wrong with him. This person wasn't the Colonel. He wasn't Jack.

Her Jack.

He was behaving stupid, wrong, he had even stolen the device from Tollan. They're goning to be angry. He wasn't supposed to steal it, just because it was good technology. He was well aware of the fact, that the Tollans don't give them any of their technology. It was against their own laws. But he'd stolen it anyway.

Sam wanted him back. Her Jack. She couldn't admit it out loud, but she loved him. With all her heart. And seeing him behave like this was killing her. She knew they could never be together and she hated it. She hated these stupid regulations of the SGC. She was a scientist and soldier and he was soldier too, so according to the regulations, they can never have feelings for each other.

But they did. She loved him and was very aware of the fact, that he loved her too. She just wanted him back and to see his smile again.

Sam decided to go and have a talk with him. If he was going listen to her or not she didn't know, but she had to try. She wanted to see him. Her old, good Jack with that sence of humor of his.

She was sitting in her room in the SGC and looking at his photo. She had this photo hidden in a drawer. And now, in this situation, it was reminding her her old Jack. How much she loved him, but knows she can never tell him.

This his new behavior was all wrong. Was he doing this on purpose? Or was he somehow controlled by something else? Another alien? Maybe Goa'uld? No, if he'd been Goa'uld he would want to kill them all immediately, or he'd want to know information, so he'd be more demanding. So a Goa'uld wouldn't be behaving like this. Stealing 'alien things' from other planets, even from their allies, to make them angry...

Sam sighed and slowly stood up. She really didn't want to see him like this. She didn't like it. She had a bad feeling from his behavior. But maybe she could make him see what he's doing. Maybe he'll stop doing this for her.

She opened her door and walked out to the hall. It was empty. She knew that it wasn't suspicious to go out of her room, but still she didn't want to be seen. She wanted to go there alone. It really wasn't suspicious and she felt a bit ashamed to sneak around like this. But her? Leaving to go to her Colonel? At this time, when he's acting strange like this?

She met just a few people. Everyone was probably busy as she should be right now too. She met Janet, but she just greeted her and went her own way. The way to the Colonel's room was surprisingly empty. But now there was a problem.

She was afraid. The first problem was, she didn't want to look awkward. What will she say after she knocks and he opens the door. And the second problem, what if he wasn't there and she came all this way here and got up the courage for nothing. Well, it wouldn't be that bad, she'd just go back to her room, sit down and start to do her work. But then she probably wouldn't be able to focus and her mind would be flying all around about Jack. And then she would more than likely have to try this endevour again.

Well, she wouldn't have to, but she'd want to. She wanted to talk to him. To tell him what his behaviour was doing to her. So she would have to.

After a moment awkwardly standing there in front of his room with a hand in the air preparing herself to knock, she finally forced herself to actually knock. A few seconds nothing happened, and when she was ready to actually walk away, the door opened and a very familiar head looked out, right at her.

"Well?" he asked when Sam said nothing and was just staring at him. "Hi Carter, do you wanna come inside?"

Sam finally woke up from her dazed state and nodded "Erm y-yes, I'd like to sir." Her cheeks went a bit red at how awkwardly she felt now, but he either didn't notice or just didn't care. He let her in, revealing his own room, that honestly wasn't the tidiest one he had seen, and then closed the door behind her.

She turned to him and swallowed.

"What a pleasure it is to have you here Carter. Why did you come?" he asked. And now her throat went dry. But she just swallowed again and bowed her head.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you sir-"

"You know you can never disturb me Major." he said and slightly smiled.

"Well, I just wanted to know..." began Sam again "Why..." he looked at her closer "Why are you behaving like this?" she finally asked. And Jack remained silent, so she continued:

"Why did you steal that device from Tollan, when you were well aware of the fact, it's against their laws to hand over technology like that? Why were you shouting at General Hammond and telling him all those things you'd never actually believe? Why, tell me why, are you behaving as if you weren't Ja- Colonel O'Neill anymore?" She corrected herself, almost saying Jack "This behavior... it's not like you. It's not like you at all." small tears started to form in her eyes, but she didn't want to let them out "Please stop behaving like this." pleaded she "I want to have my Colonel back. The Colonel I know... Jack... my Jack..." Now she definitely had tears in eyes. "When I see you behaving like this..." she admitted "It's... It's killing me..." she sniffed and tried to blink away her tears.

Jack was through all that just staring into her blue eyes. He never wanted to hurt her. And for some reason he didn't realize this would hurt her. The one he always wanted to keep safe. He wanted to stop, he really wanted to, but he couldn't. It was an order and he he'd been commanded to do it. It was in the name of their government. He wanted to hug her, kiss her and tell her he's so sorry for this. To tell her how much he loved her. But he couldn't even do this.

But when he was looking into those gorgeous blue eyes of her, he realized how much it actually hurt her. She was telling the truth, when she said it's killikng her. And when she named him 'Her Jack', he didn't know what to do. She's just admitted she really cared for him. She told him, even if it was against the regulations. Just because she wanted him back. The way he'd always been with her.

And finally when he saw tears in her eyes, he couldn't handle that anymore and came closer to envelop her in his tight embrace. He himself had small tears in his eyes. Oh how much he so wanted to tell her...

Sam buried her nose in his broad shoulder. She felt so safe in his arms. She had never felt so safe like this. Just in her Jack's arms, them wrapped around her small shoulders. She almost thought it was really her Jack. That he had returned. That he'll stop behaving like this and will be back to just being her Jack. And hers alone.

But she was wrong. The words she heard from his mouth, that he whispered into her ear almost killed her.

"I can't..." He whispered to her. A small sob escaped her and she pulled away from him, her eyes full of tears and heartbreak across her face. And with a pleading and unbelieving expression she opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

"I'm so sorry..." he said with a shaky voice and tried to take a step closer to her, but she recoiled away from him and closer to the door. She didn't believe him. He couldn't mean that really, could he?

"Sam..." He tried, raising his hand to her, but she was gone. She opened the door and ran away.

"I love you..." he whispered. And his words echoed into his now empty room.

So? Did you like it? Wasn't it too sad? I wanted a happy end, but then I realized I'd disrupt the plot of the episode... So I wrote it this way. Hope you still like it :)
