2 years into Cam and Jenn's romantic relationship

The storm was getting worse. More snow was continuing to fall and the gusts of wind were becoming stronger and more frequent. New Year's Eve was that day, but Cam and Jenn didn't know whether or not they would go to the big party one of their friends was throwing. Cam was just arriving at the apartment they shared with Chinese food.

"Lucy, I'm home. "

" You watch too much I Love Lucy repeats."

" Well darling you watch them with me, when that beautiful brain of yours isn'tstudying. "

" Well that along with Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, The Three Stooges, and Twilight Zone add comedic relief during the middle of my studies. "

" Those are some of the great ones, along with MASH, of course. "

" Of course. ", Jennifer said laughing. " Well, what kind of Chinese did you get? "

" The usual. Kung pao and orange chicken, steamed and fried rice, chow mein, and fortune cookies. "

" Yum."

" So, I was thinking. .."

" Yes Cam? Go on. "

" We could always go to the party for a little while. That way you can study tomorrow like you wanted to and I could go in for some extra training when everyone else is drunk. "

" When would you like to go? "

" Well it's 2200 hours now so it should be around 2230 when we finish and it should take like 20 minutes to get over there so 2240?"

"Sounds good to me. ", Jennifer replied and they began to eat. Like Cam thought they were done eating less than 30 minutes later and they got ready. "

Jenn began to look up the weather on the computer and on tv. She saw a storm warning about the snow practically being a blizzard when the power went out. Cam, having not seen the warning, went towards the door and opened it.

"Jeez. It was not this bad earlier. It's like a winter wonderland. Everything is covered in snow and it's freezing. "

" It looks like we'll be staying in tonight. "

" Yeah. "

" I'll get some candles, or glow sticks. "

" Ok. I'll get towels to block the door and windows. I'll also grab more blankets to keep us warm. " For 10 minutes they prepared for the cold. They sat down and were talking for an hour when their phone alarm went off to show it was midnight.

" Well here's to a new year babe."

Cameron replied, " And everything that will come from it. " They kissed to the new year until they were out of breath and then fell asleep in each others arms.

Present Day

"Whatever you say. " Cam said.

"What is that supposed to mean? "

" That I'll stop calling you darling, since that's what you want. "

" Oh, now you consider what I want. So gentleman like. Not! "

" Are we going to have this fight again? " What fight would that be Cam?"

" Don't play stupid with me, Jenn, it doesn't suit you. How long have we known each other? Thirteen years. We met when you were fifteen. For three years we were friends. We were together for five and you act as if I don't know you. "

" I've changed since then, so you don't. "

" Still curl up in a ball when you sleep? "

" Yes. "

" Still email your dad your dad every week? "

" Yes. "

" Do you still shut down when you lose a patient, or cry? And I know that the answer is yes. "

" You are so annoying. "

" Yet you love me, or used to. I know you. You haven't changed all that much. You have become stronger. "

" Yes I have. "

" Still have vertigo?"

"Yes. "

" See. I know you, and even though you don't want to hear, accept, or believe it, I love you. I always have and always will. "

"You're right, I don't believe you. "

" Woman, you are hands down the most infuriating person that I have ever met in my entire life. "

" At least I'm not as confusing as you are. You say you've always loved me, but what about some of your relationships? "

" What relationships are you talking about? "

" The name Amy Vanderburg ring any bells? How about Reya Varrick ? Or Carolyn Lam?"

" Oh, I get it now. You're jealous, aren't you Jenn? "

" No, I am not! "

" Yes you are. For your information I only went out with Amy once, I didn't like her the same way I used to. No more crush. Carolyn and I are friends. We went out a few times and decided it wasn't for us. Reya is dead and it wouldn't have gone anywhere. You're jealous and you were the one who left the damm galaxy. "

" You pushed me away. "

" You know what? I'm sick of this argument. I'm going to sit in that corner for the time being and I'm going to try to use the coms.", Cam said wearily, pointing to the far left corner by the entrance. Jenn was just finishing her rounds, which she had started during the fight.

When Jennifer finished her rounds she sat as far away from Cam as possible in their current situation. She was not having a good day whatsoever. She never wanted to hurt or upset Cam, but she ended up doing exactly that. She was jealous and even if she was angry with him, she loved Cameron.

Across the room, Cam heard Jenn start to cry. 'Oh hell.', he thought. Cam got up and went over to her and sat down next to her, their shoulders touching sitting up against the wall. She just laid her head on his shoulder completely comfortable. They both knew that neither had meant to hurt the other. They wanted to figure out how to fix their relationship even if it meant they would only be friends. They wished they could get back to the good times either when they became friends or when they were dating.

Outside the hospital, the Atlantis expedition members and the Ithians were hard at work trying to unearth the makeshift hospital and get the radios to work. After a while, Rodney got the coms back. "Colonel Mitchell do you read me?", Mila questioned because she wasn't allowed to help the teams digging. " Doctor Keller what is your status? Jenn is everyone okay in there? "

" I'm fine Mila. So is Mitchell. The patients are stable. The only problem is that it's freezing. Hypothermia will set on soon, it might already have. So no pressure or anything, but we'd like to get out of here soon. "

" Ok, I'll see what I can do. I'm glad you're and alright... Oh no! Brace yourselves! ", Mila replied, then yelled when she felt a small tremor underneath her feet. The tremor caused another small avalanche of sorts and they became even further away from getting everyone out. "Are you all okay?!"

" We're fine so far. The tremor knocked everyone around a bit, but no one seems to be much worse. Jenn, I mean Doctor Keller hit her head though. She's still unconscious. How's everyone out there?", Cam replied being the first to recover. When he saw Jenn on the ground he got worried.

" We're Ok . How bad is Jenn? "

"She is waking up now so she can't be too bad. All patients are still alive. It's just really cold. "

" I'll see what can be done now. Bye, radio if you need anything. "

" Ok Mila. Talk to you later. "
