A/N This chapter is a flashback, but there's more SJ! Thanks for reviewing! Forgot to add Adult themes as a warning in the last one, sorry guys. Also I'd especially like to thank SpecialAgentJim for the really nice review and for the review being my first!

CHAPTER 2

"Hey Carter, The team's going to O'Malley's for a few drinks. Wanna come?" then, at her hesitant look, "I mean, we'll understand if you wanna get home to Brice or already have plans…" Colonel O'Neill offered.

SG-1 had just gotten back from a particularly hard mission on P3X-346. Let's just say the natives weren't exactly welcoming. Teal'c had been shot with an arrow in the leg and Colonel O'Neill was sporting a similar wound to his shoulder. Both injuries were taken care of upon arrival through the StarGate, and were expected to heal in the next few weeks. Teal'c's limb was anticipated to heal even sooner due to 'Junior'. It was only seven o'clock and Sam figured she had some time. The team's dynamic hadn't been the best lately (most of the tension, admittedly, could be attributed to both Sam and Jack) and Sam thought she might be able to repair some of the damage tonight.

"Brock's working late tonight at the station and I've finished most of the work in my lab so I'm free. Sounds great I'll be there just let me get washed up first." She agreed, putting emphasis on 'Brock'.

"Okay-dokay we'll meet you there whenever you're done."

Sam mentally went through her check list on the way to O'Malley's Bar & Grill.

get groceries

make dinner

tidy house

change and shower before Brock gets home

call Cassie

The list continued as she pulled up to the restaurant. "Hey guys, sorry to keep you waiting. Did you already order?"

"We have indeed communicated your regularly desired sustenance to our server, Major Carter."

"Oh, good, thanks Teal'c." Sam conveyed her appreciation while taking her place at the table.

"You are most welcome, Major Carter. Would it not pleasure you to indulge in a game of 'pool'? Was not O'Neill recently informing us of his extraordinary propensity in matters relating to this game, DanielJackson?" Daniel signaled with his free hand that he was out of this one while slurping down the drink resting in his other hand.

"I'm up for it Teal'c, that is, if the Colonel thinks he can present some kind of a challenge for me this time."

"Oh, it's on now Carter."
