He could do this. Right? He's been through worse. Captured, tortured, shot, turned into a Tok'ra, died... How could this be worse? It was just saying a few words to his 2IC. It's not like if he never said those three words to somebody else. Why would this be any different? Maybe because those three words could get you both fired! Jack thought to himself. Despite everything going through his mind, Jack headed towards Sam's lab. When he got there, he found her typing on her computer. He walked in and noticed the camera in one of the corners. Darn! I forgot about that. Well he definitely wasn't going to say anything in front of a security camera. That's just asking for trouble.

"Sir?" Sam said, noticing him just staring at the wall.

"Hey Carter." Jack said, turning to look at her.

"Did you want something?" Sam asked, after a few

seconds of awkward silence.

"No, not in particular." There was an other awkward silence. " Hey, did you hear about Daniel and Janet?"

"Yeah, Janet was here a few minutes ago. Looks like Daniel finally got the guts to do something."

"Only because I got him too."

"Really! How?"

"Uhhhh, we had a deal." Maybe she'll leave it at that.

"What kind of deal?"

No such luck. "Well, we agreed that if he managed to ask Janet out, I would...go a week without watching The Simpsons." Nice cover!

"I'm guessing you didn't think Daniel would actually do it."

"Nope. Not until he came into the commissary with a big smile on his face."

"Sounds similar to the smile Janet had."

"I bet." There was an other silence. "Well I better..." Jack said, pointing to the door. "See ya around Major" He said before leaving.

"Bye sir."

"You didn't tell her!" Daniel yelled. After his little chat with Sam, Jack had gone to find Daniel. Lucky for him, the archeologist was in his office.

"I couldn't. There was a darn camera!" Jack yelled back. It was a good thing the door was closed and that there wasn't a camera in Daniel's office.

"You mean the one in the corner?"

Jack nodded.

"That camera's been broken for weeks."

"And you tell me that now ?!"

"I thought you already knew."

Jack calmed down a little before asking his next question. "Why is it, that out of all the rooms in this mountain, there had to be a camera in her lab. Why isn't there one in your office or mine anyway?"

"Well since her's is one of the once where something is most likely to...go wrong."

"You mean explode."

"It's just so that we could know what might have happened if something

was to go wrong. And since there isn't really a need for them in our offices..."

"They rather spend their money with something else."

"Right."

"Fair enough. You're sure that the camera is broken."

"Positive."

"Nobody might have fixed it lately?"

"Not that I know of."

"Not that you know of?!"

"No, no, they didn't...didn't fix it."

"Ok then." Jack stood in front of Daniel's desk for a while thinking.

"You're not going to be able to tell her if you stay here."

"Right. I'll see you later."

"With good news I hope."

"We'll see."

Jack was on his way back to Sam's lab when he turned a corner and bumped right into his 2IC. Causing her to drop the document she was holding. Papers spread out everywhere.

"Sorry sir." Sam said, bending down to pick out the papers.

"Not your fault Major." Jack said, bending down to help her out. "At least, not entirely." He added, getting a brilliant smile from his 2 IC. "What is all of this stuff anyway?"

"Just my report sir."

"A little big don't ya think?"

"It's the one for the alien device sg-4 brought back a week ago."

"Ah! I knew that."

They picked up the last of the mixed up paper and started walking back the way Sam came. Jack assumed she was going back to her lab and put the papers back in order. Nice going Jack! "Need any help putting those back in order?" He asked.

"I can handle it. Thank you sir." Sam said before entering the elevator. The doors closed and Jack headed strait for Daniels lab...Again.

"You tell her?" Daniel asked when Jack entered his office.

"Ah, no."

"Why not?"

"Well, I bumped into her in the hallway and made her drop her report of who knows how many pages while she was most likely on her way to give it in to General Hammond.."

"Oh."

"That's all you have to say? Oh?"

"Maybe you should do this a different way."

"You have a suggestion?"

"As a matter of fact, I do. A letter."

"A letter?"

"Or a poem."

"I stink at writing out my feelings and I couldn't write a poem if my life depended on it."

"E-mail?"

"Nope."

"Recording?"

"Too tacky."

"Note with flours?"

"Are you kidding? It would draw too much attention. I might as well just scream I love you Sam on the base intercom." Jack said sarcastically.

"Well I don't know of any other way other than just saying it out loud."

"Can't we just..."

"I'm not going to forget our deal." Daniel said, interrupting Jack's sentence. "Third time's the charm right."

"I hate cliches." Jack muttered before leaving.

Soon after Jack left, Daniel rushed to the infirmary. He just had an idea and couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it earlier. "Janet!"

"Something wrong?" Janet asked, concerned.

"No no. You have a few minutes? There's something you have to see."

"Sure, as long as it doesn't take too long." The doctor said following Daniel until they reached the security monitoring room. "What did you want to show me?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure. It depends on whether or not Jack as enough guts." Daniel said, sitting down on a chair and typing something on the keyboard to show the video footage of Sam's lab.

"What?"

"If he does then you're going to be glad I showed you."

"Be glad you showed me what?"

"Jack telling Sam he loves her."

"Why would he do that in front of a security camera with sound?"

"I told him the camera was broken."

"Fair enough. Scout over." Janet said, sitting on one of the chairs and watching the computer screen where see could see Jack walking into Sam's lab and closing the door behind him.
