Finally I get another chapter finished, after rewriting the first two and having it all beta read, several hundred times.

Sam opened her eyes and everything was fuzzy. There was a figure to the side of her but she couldn't make out who it was. Her head hurt worse than it had earlier. She then remembered earlier, what had happened. She'd woken up and went in search of someone, and found some woman claiming she was Mrs. Levine. She had ran for the door. Now she remembered why her head hurt worse, the floor had been wet in front of the door and she had slipped.
Her vision became clearer, as did the figure beside her. It was a man, she guessed about the colonel's height; he was looking over a chart and reading the machines next to her bed. "Ah, Mrs. Levine, how are we feeling today?" Sam sighed and rolled over so she could see him a little better.
"I told you already, my name is Samantha Carter." She stated.
The man hit a button on one of the machines. "I see we're still keeping that up."
Sam sat up. "Yes, we are."
He flipped the chart over and sat it on the table, then pulled a chair up to the bed and sat in it. "Ok, if you're Samantha Carter, then I ask you, where is Kasie Levine?"
These people were obviously not going to be easy to convince. "What makes you think I know the answer to that question?" The nurse came in carrying a try with some unrecognizable food and a glass of water.
The doctor began again. "Now see, how do you know your not Kasie, because I mean you've been in coma for a year and a half, and that's definitely enough time to convince yourself into believing something, like for say that your Samantha Carter." Wonderful. Great. He made an excellent point there.
She watched the nurse pour water into a glass beside the plate. "So your telling me that I dreamed up about 30 something years of the non-existent life of Samantha Carter in a year and a half?" She turned her focus back to him and he nodded his head.

Jack set a cup of coffee in front of Janet as she continued on. "She may never regain her memory of being Sam; you know that, right?" The doctor asked.
The colonel took a sip of his coffee. "Yes, especially if it isn't Carter." He stated before continuing to drink his coffee.
The doctor looked up. "What do you mean?" Jack took yet another sip before answering.
"I have this gut instinct that's telling me that the woman we brought back to earth is not the same one we left off with."
She didn't look that surprised by his statement. "Yeah, there is something about her that just doesn't fit, but her DNA and blood type match Sam's and she has the protein marker Jolinar left. So all scientific methods prove that woman to be her."
Sam came into the room, smiling. "Hello." The woman sat down beside Janet.
"How are you feeling?" Jane tasked.
"Oh, I feel wonderful, but I am hungry."
Jack stood up. "Yeah so am I, how about some Fruit Loops?" Sam sat there for a minute trying to remember what fruit loops were.
"Ok, sure."
"Have you remembered anything yet?" Doctor Fraiser asks the blonde woman. Sam shook her head 'no'.
"Here." Jack handed her bowl of milk with fruit loops floating around. "Want some Janet?"
"No, thank you."
"Carter, why don't you go watch TV while you eat breakfast." She got and left the kitchen. "About that thing that doesn't quite fit-"
Doctor Fraiser cut him off. "She's like a child in a naive stage."
O'Neill was poking at one of the loops in his bowl. "Colonel?" Questioned Doctor Fraiser.
He pushed the bowl away from himself. "I think we should go back to the planet and look around, if that is the real Sam, we could at least find out what happened." Sam came back into the room.
"Carter, how would you like to go back to the base for a little while?"
~*+*~
Sam look at the food she'd been given, it wasn't exactly appetizing, but she was in a hospital and if it were to make her sick, she'd have medical help.
"Well it couldn't hurt you to try it." She looked up to see another woman standing in her doorway. "I'm Allie."
The woman offered Sam her hand and she shook it. "I'm S-Kasie."
Allie sat down in the chair next to Kasie. "You've got amnesia, right?" Sam nodded her head.
"Yeah, the nurses were talking about how you probably made it worse by running down the wet hall." Sam let out a short laugh.
"I didn't realize it was wet until I was lying on." She stated.
Allie was looking Sam's plate. "You know it is a hundred percent better than it looks." Sam poked at it again.
"Really?" Sam questioned.
The brown haired woman smiled. "Would I lie to you?"
The Major scooped some of it with her fork. "I don't know if you would or not, I barely know you, but I'll try it anyway." She put in her mouth and swallowed. "You're right, it is better."
Sam finished her lunch and put the plate on the table next to her bed. "So why are you here?" Sam asked Allie, who was looking at some flowers across the room.
"Oh, I have rare disease called Linthious." Sam watched her for a minute, hoping she'd remember what the disease does before she had to ask her.
"Um, what kind of disease is that?" Allie turned around.
"The kind that's deadly and untreatable." She answered.
"I'm sorry." Sam apologized, and Allie shook her head.
"Don't be, it will only get me down, of course hearing that I'll die in a few months didn't help either."

Colonel O'Neill walked in to Daniel office with Sam in tow.
"Hi Jack, Sam." The archaeologist greeted while Jack motioned for Sam to sit down in the chair at Daniel's desk.
"Daniel, can you watch her for a while; I have to go talk the General about a re-con mission to P6-whatever."
Daniel didn't look up. "Sure Jack." The Colonel left the room, and Daniel looked up at Sam who was spinning around in desk chair.
"Sam," He picked up a book. "Look at this for awhile." She took the book and began flipping the pages in it.

Colonel O'Neill and Doctor Fraiser let themselves into the higher-ranking man's office. "General?" The man looked up from his paperwork.
"Yes?" The Colonel and the Doctor sat down.
"Sir, Colonel O'Neill and I want you to authorize a reconnaissance mission to P6X-4902." The Doctor stated.
"Why?"
"Well, General, we both feel that we should go try to find out what happened to Sam." Janet looked at Jack.
"We also have some concern about whether the woman SG-1 brought back is the real Major Carter." Hammond looked surprised by what Doctor Fraiser had added.
"What do you mean?"
"You see sir, when someone gets amnesia it's just there memory that's effected, the way they talk and the what they've learned like how to drive a car or how to add one plus one, those things are usually never affected." Janet continued. "She's like a four or five year old child sir, she talks like one and acts like one, the only thing that's telling us that the woman they brought back is Sam is her DNA and even though that should be reliable evidence, sometimes it just isn't." Janet finished.
"And personally, General, I think it's wrong." Jack added.
"I don't see the harm in SG-1 returning to the planet, as long as you don't let each other out of your sight."
