I never want to see them again! My gosh! I hate them! Okay, maybe not hate them, but... Well, let's get serious Sam, you could never be angry at them. Even for what they did. They left her in that cell, trapped with that...goa'uld. She hated it. Teal'c treated her like a traitor, Jack never looked back, Daniel only came once, to ask questions. At least he treated her like a human being.

But she knew she couldn't blame them, she had Jolinar in her head. If she were in their postition, she probably would have done the same. A knock comes at my door.

I go to unlock it, but I soon regret it. A SF stands there, with handcuffs. I forgot to go to my apointment. Again. They handcuffed me and took me to Janet's office. They aren't careful enough. My wrists start bleeding. People stare at me like I'm some sort of traitor, ghost. Goa'uld.

My career is down the toliet. I just know it. I can see it now. "Captain Carter was a fine officer. Was. But then she became a goa'uld, and she is no longer to be trusted to go off world. Shemay give mouth to mouth."

I should have left him. But how could I know he was carring a goa'uld? Tok'ra, was what it insisted to be called. Too bad. Live with it. Or, die with it.

Carter is mad at me. She won't talk to me. Only will when she has to. She never goes on team nights. She never does anything with us. But I will patch things up. For the sake of the team, for the SGC, and most of all, for our friendship.

I'm at home. They finally let me leave the base. But I have to check in every day, and have to have one of SG-1 stay with me.

It's Jack's turn. Great. I was so not looking forward to this. I know what's coming.

The knock comes at the door. I dread it. He comes in. Closer...closer...

"Hi Carter." He says. He sits down, with two beers in his hands. He hands one to me. I start to cry the tears that have needed to fall for so long. I hate those tears. I really, really hate them.

He wipes a stray tear. More fall onto my lips and I can taste the salt in them. Make that, really, really, REALLY, hate them.

"Carter, what's wrong?" I take a second to think. What's wrong? Well let's see, no one trusts me, everyone hates me, let's just all go and eat worms.

"Nothing, Sir." I lie. He knows it. Of course he does, he knows everything about me.

"Carter?"

"Nothing, Sir. Can we just forget the past few weeks sir? Please?"

"No, Carter. We cannot. What is it?"

"Sir..."

"Carter..."

"Fine. Sir, do you trust me?:

"Yeah, Carter, course I do."

"Does Daniel and Teal'c?"

"Course."

"General Hammond and Janet."

"You bet'cha."

I sigh. More tears fall. I'm very annoyed. I wanna throw something.

"Really?"

"Yes, Carter, really."

"Good. Am I still going to be on the team?"

"Yes Carter."

"Why did you leave me when I cried for help?"

"When?"

"In the cell. You turned, didn't even look back."

"My goodness Sam. That was you? I think it was that stupid Tok'ra, Goa'uld thing! Gosh Sam, I am SOOOO sorry." He pulls me into a hug. I cry on his shoulder. I fall asleep thinking,

I have my friends, they'll help me through this. Though I will always have my doubts, I know they love me. But, we still have more talking to do.

She's asleep on my shoulder. It feels right, but I know it's wrong. I can smell her sweet smelling hair, she smells beautiful. She smells Sam. I'm glad she's going to be okay. But, she's not going to trust us completely, but she going too. She's going to be okay. Like us. WE are all going to be okay.

We'll make it through.
