I was thinking about where I wanted this story to go…and I was trying to stay away from it mostly, but my mind seems angst driven, but this won't be dark or anything…just not too happy till the end. I need like an 'off' button for my mind, cause I keep thinking of new ideas for new stories, but I already have 3 open stories…not good. :( Well anyways, onward!

Chapter 2

Major Carter and the rest of Sg-1 were in here lab doing nothing in particular. Things had been pretty slow for the most part and they were all plain bored. Daniel had brought his latest translations over, Teal'c was helping as some of it was Goaul'd and Colonel O'Neill was catching up on a week old report that he had yet to turn in.

Turning the corner, Captain Jonas Hanson just came in. Looking up at the intrusion, Sam was wishing she closed her door. Clicking a few places on her computer screen was her attempt at shutting Hanson out in hopes of him getting the hint and leaving. Of course things were never that black and white with them.

He was about to speak to me when his eyes grabbed the attention of Colonel O'Neill. "Jack?! Jack O'Neill?" Hanson spoke as if he were a kid talking to his idol. Which probably wasn't too far from the truth. Sam's eyes enlarged and she wondered how these two could possibly know each other.

"Uh, it's Col. O'Neill. Do we know each other?" O'Neill asked confused. He was trying to place Hanson, but couldn't quite recall him. Hanson laughed as if it were some joke.

"We were in Black Ops together, for only 7 years. Don't tell me you got knocked around too much between then and know." Hanson seemed more carefree as opposed to what Sam was used to.

The Hanson that showed through to Sam was uptight, tense and easily provoked. During the part of their marriage that was spent together, Sam could make dinner ten minutes past usual and he would refuse to eat, leave and come back drunk. And it was those times he came back drunk was when he was the worst. He'd yell obscenities, and even throw punches.

Jonas Hanson would later apologize profusely and Sam would believe it. She would continue to believe it for some time. And then it would get worse. After he just stopped apologizing and even stopped hiding behind the excuse of being drunk. Sam had been naïve for the longest time. Always hoping and wishing it would get better. It wasn't until she experienced a miscarriage by his cold hands that she found the strength to leave. In a way, losing that child had been the best and the worst thing that she had ever been through.

She had believed that she would never see Hanson again. At least not at the SGC. But she was a stronger person now, she had gone up against far worse, and certainly she could handle Jonas Hanson.

"Oh, I remember know. So where have you been hiding?" O'Neill asks. He's starting to fall back into a sense of familiarity with Hanson. Going through so much together, Black Ops teams tended to bond strongly, similarly to SGC teams.

"Just slaving away for the pentagon the last couple of years. I heard about this, and managed to get an interview. Also heard about S-Major Carter working here, that was a plus."

O'Neill turned to me and questioned. "You two know each other?"

"Unfortunately, Hanson is my estranged husband sir." Carter sighed, obviously annoyed at having to reveal this fact. This is when Daniel looked up from his work. He wasn't really interested in any new personnel that didn't affect him directly at the moment, but this peaked his curiosity.

"Husband? I didn't know you were married Sam."

Carter was about to reply but was cut off.

"Oh, so he can call you Sam but your husband can't? Never mind. I should respect your desires considering." Hanson said which was highly uncharacteristic of him. This threw Carter off guard. Moreso than seeing him in General Hammond's office the first time.

"And you still wouldn't Daniel, if Hanson knew how to sign the damn divorce papers." Carter could feel herself getting worked up. She was still angered over the fact that this marriage still hung over her shoulders.

"Really, Major, I've changed, and if you gave me half a chance you would see that." His face and words were sincere. And any fool could fall for it. But Sam was done being anyone's fool.

"You change? Ha, if you've changed then the Colonel here is even smarter than I am." Sam laughed as did Daniel and even Teal'c, however minimally noticeable. Colonel O'Neill just glared, but couldn't help replying.

"Hey! For all you guys know, I could be some sort of closet genius." Daniel looked at him in disbelief. "Ok, so I'm not the brightest crayon in the box but I'm just saying stranger things have happened." The Colonel says in defeat.

"You'll see Sam, I'm going to make up for all the things I did wrong with us. I'm going to fix us, we're going to be happy again I promise you." Hanson nearly begged.

For the briefest of seconds, Sam saw what caused her to fall for Hanson in the first place. She saw his heart, that she thought hadn't been in existence for the longest time. Swallowing, Sam swallowed the creeping naivety back down. She was no longer anyone's chew tow any longer, and she'd be damned if she would fall for the same trap again, especially by the same man.

Jaw tensing, she looks Hanson in the eye. "Don't you have team orientation to do? You are a team leader Captain Hanson."

Sighing, Hanson carried out an about face and walked out. "Damn Carter, what he ever do to you?" O'Neill questioned.

"If only you knew, perhaps the two of you wouldn't be so chummy. Excuse me guys, I have to go run a scheduled gate diagnostic." Sam shut off the computer and left.

"I wonder what's the story behind those two." Daniel commented.

Pondering it, O'Neill replied. "I dunno Danny. But whatever it is it's not pretty. Well, cake anyone?"

"I will join you O'Neill in consuming some cake rations."

"Cool, think you can pry yourself away for a few minutes space monkey?"

Nodding in agreement, they all leave for the SGC commissary.

((This is the longest these chapters are going to be. So review please! I'm kinda partial to some S/D but I'm willing to do S/J if anyone prefers that. The next chapter is going to focus on making Hanson out to be a not so bad guy…kinda obvious why….don't want to give to much away so that's what's coming. Along with a few twists.))
