"Hey T, weren't you being a little tough on her?"
"Indeed."
Jack, Cameron, Teal'c, Carter and Daniel all gathered in Sam's lab to discuss what happened with Jaimee in the Gym.
"Then why did you do it?"
"Because she is unusually Jaffa for a human child. Thus she should be disciplined as such, General O'Neill."
"You've known her all of, what? a day?"
"I don't know General, those moves were pretty Sodan looking to me. She was pretty good, despite the limp. If I'm her step-dad and practically raised her then I probably taught her a thing or two."
"You tried to teach me a thing or two." She appeared by Carter's lab door. "Can I come in?" She asked to no one in particular. No one could think of any reason why she should not come in, so Sam let out a weak, "Yeah, sure."
Jaimee walked in, but she wore a jump suit instead of what she was wearing before. Everyone in the room could tell that she felt uncomfortable. It was obvious that she felt exposed. She had taken a shower and her hair was wet and dripping. It occurred to Cameron that she didn't care. "The Cameron in my reality did try to teach me self defence the Jaffa way, but it never worked out because every time Cameron hit me, it was like he was hitting himself harder still. But he believed it was important for me to learn in case I was ever attacked. So he gave Teal'c stewardship over my training."
She walked over to Teal'c and knelt on the ground. She placed her hands on the floor in the shape of a triangle. She put her head to the triangle and muttered an apology. "I am sorry for my behaviour, Master. It won't happen again."
Teal'c grasped her by the arm and lifted her up. He looked deep into her eyes and all he saw was sincerity. "I can see that you are angry and frustrated, but there is no weakness in you."
"Yet, I cannot beat you."
"Is beating me the only goal you have in this life, Jaimee Jackson?" When she didn't respond he lifted her up somewhat and averted her eyes to the massive Jaffa. "Speak!" he yelled. Jaimee jumped but still found courage to answer.
"What else is there, master?"
"There is Daniel Jackson." He said calmly, but no less firm. "You know it not, yet Jaimee Jackson, but I see that you love him." Jaimee flinched and Daniel looked to the ground, wishing it would eat him.
"Teal'c..." Daniel began, but was cut off from Jaimee's yelling.
"If the general told you what he saw from my memories, he would have told you that Cameron forced me into marrying him!" Daniel blinked, Cameron choked.
"Is it true that you would not have consented had you felt nothing, Jaimee Jackson." It was more of a statement then a question. "If your only ambition in life is to beat me, then your ambition is vain."
Tears remained locked in her eyes and Teal'c held her close to his chest. Her eyes wondered but Teal'c yelled again. "Look at me!"
"Master, I am confused and I don't know but please, let me go." She was frightened, and Teal'c could sense it. He bowed his head and they finally let each other go.
