part four
25 July 2003
Daniel and Samantha had been reunited for more than three weeks now. The transformation back to being human had finally been completed. Samantha had never been happier. Daniel was back and he was in love with her. Her dreams were coming true.
"You know something interesting Daniel?" asked Samantha.
"No, what Sam?" replied Daniel smiling.
"Everybody at work is wondering why I have been so happy lately." smiled Samantha. "They think I have found someone special and that I'm in love."
"You are, aren't you?" teased Daniel with a kiss.
"Yes I am, though I think the Colonel and Jonas are a little put out." smiled Samantha.
"Well they're probably a little in love with you Sam. Everybody that meets you, loves you in some way." explained Daniel.
"Don't you think it's time for you to come back to the SGC? They all miss you Daniel. It would brighten up their day to see you again." pleaded Samantha.
"Alright Sam, for you I would do anything." replied Daniel.
Daniel accompanied Samantha to work that morning. They arrived earlier than everyone else. They took a walk around a familiar area leading to Daniel's old office. He was quite surprised to see that his office was still there.
"What's this?" he asked Samantha.
"The General decided to keep your office as it was to honor your memory and contribution to SGC. He thought it would be wrong to assign it to anyone else."
Daniel went in and looked around. A tear came to his eye as he remembered the many hours he spent here translating ancient writings and talking to his friends, especially Samantha.
"I'll leave you here for awhile. I'll be in my office catching up on some paperwork. I'll come by later to take you to breakfast." smiled Samantha as she saw how moved Daniel was and how happy he looked to be back. She left Daniel's office to go to her own.
An hour later Jack came traipsing into the SGC and stop by Samantha's office. He knocked on her door before entering. "You want to grab some breakfast? We have a briefing in an hour. I believe the general has an away mission scheduled for us." smiled Jack.
"Yes Sir. I'll meet you there. I need to see someone first." replied Samantha as she got up out of her chair.
"I expect to see you in fifteen minutes Major." responded Jack as he walked out the door. He went to get Teal'c and Jonas.
Jack was in the mess hall with Teal'c and Jonas. He wanted to discuss the changes in Samantha with them. He had noticed that Samantha was very happy. They were sitting around the table.
"I wanted to talk to you both before Carter gets here. Have you both noticed the changes in her behavior?" asked Jack.
"You mean Major Jackson. She changed her name last year to honor Daniel Jackson." replied Teal'c.
"Yeah, yeah Teal'c, I know she changed her name. But to me she'll always be Carter." whined Jack shaking his head. To call her Jackson would be to admit she didn't love him.
"You're right Colonel, Sam has been quite happy the last few weeks. Maybe she's finally getting over Doctor Jackson's death." offered Jonas hoping that it was true.
"Maybe Jonas, but somehow I don't think that's the whole story." replied Jack.
"I agree O'Neill. She appears to be a woman in love. There is a bounce to her step, a smile to her face, and a dreamy look in her eyes." agreed Teal'c.
Jack and Jonas looked stunned at the pronouncement coming from the Jaffa warrior. They never expected him to be so observant in such matters.
"Way to go big guy." replied Jack as he slapped Teal'c on the back. Jonas could only sit there and shake his head and smile.
