Jack knocked on the door of Janet's office. "Hi Doc. Heard from Carter today?"

Janet looked up from the chart she was updating. "Good afternoon, Colonel. She was here this morning. I'm updating her chart as we speak. I'll have a report ready for you and General Hammond in a few hours." Janet returned her attention to her charting.

"That's great." Jack moved to walk out the door, but stopped and turned back.

Janet looked up again. "Is there anything else I can help you with, Sir?"

"Uh, how was she? Is her recovery on schedule?"

"It will all be in my report, Sir."

Jack sat down in the chair opposite her and cleared his throat. "Off the record, Janet, and as her friend –how is she doing?" He picked up a pen on her desk and twirled it between his fingers.

Janet looked at him, and his busy fingers, and took a breath. "Off the record and as her friend—I'm a little concerned."

"About what?" Jack tapped the pen against the desk.

"I told her she could put weight on her leg which means she would be able to walk on her own now." Janet glared at the pen and reached across placing her hand on his, stilling the distracting motions.

Jack put the pen down and held his hands up in apology. "But that's a good thing. Right?"

"Yes, she was happy about that, but she still seemed depressed," Janet replied.

"Was Shanahan with her?" Jack asked.

Janet pressed her lips together. "Oh yes, Pete was there, hovering over her like she was a complete invalid."

"Why was she depressed, then?" Jack was still trying to get the image of Pete hovering out of his mind. "Maybe thinking if she were able to walk now, he wouldn't stay with her all the time." He answered his own question.

"No I don't think that was it." Janet was a bit distracted. She was finishing up her notes on Sam's chart. "Oh no!"

What's wrong, Doc"

"Sam didn't pick up her refill for her pain meds and she was almost out. I need to call her and get Pete to come back to pick them up. I can leave them at the front gate."

"Or I could take them to her," Jack suggested.

"Aren't you on duty at the moment?"

"No, General Hammond told me to take the rest of the day off. Teal'c is dealing with the Jaffa and Hammond seems to think Daniel would be better at talking to the Tok'ra that I would." One side of Jack's mouth turned upwards in a slight smile. "Go figure. Everyone knows I love the Tok'ra."

Janet laughed and said, "Well, if you're sure…"

"I'm sure. I'll go change and be back for the meds in 10."
