Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter was engrossed in her work at the SGC when she heard a knock on the door to her lab. The door was open and Sam looked up to see an attractive young woman in a lab coat standing there.

"Yes?" Sam asked.

The woman stepped into the lab "Colonel Carter, I need to speak to you." The woman's tone was clipped and Sam thought she seemed quite agitated, even a bit angry.

"Um...Chloe, isn't it? Aren't you Doctor Felger's assistant?"

"Yes. And that's what I've come to talk to you about."

The woman seemed more than angry, Sam thought she was pissed about something.

"Ok,...is Doctor Felger,... um... bothering you or something?"

"No! No, it's nothing like that! It's you! Everything was fine when you were engaged to that cop. Then you went away to Area 51 and things were great! Now you're back and Jay says you've come back because of him!"

"Excuse me?"

"Well, I'm here to tell you, Miss Gorgeous Body, Lieutenant Colonel, Brilliant Scientist, to lay off! JJ is mine!" The woman nearly shouted.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Sam asked in confusion.

"JJ has been ignoring me ever since you got back to the SGC! He says that the two of you are involved. Jay is mine! And I'm going to fight to keep him!" Chloe was close to tears now.

"Just a minute! First of all, Felger has an overactive imagination. There is nothing between us and there never has been! Second, I'm MARRIED!"

Chloe's mouth popped open, her eyes got wide as she stood there staring at Samantha Carter. When she finally recovered her voice she said "I thought you broke up with that cop. How do I know you're not just saying this so that you and Jay can continue to have an affair without my knowledge?"

"Oh, fer cryin' out loud!" Sam exclaimed as she pulled her dogtag chain out from under her black t-shirt. As much as she wanted to wear the beautiful wedding ring Jack had given her, it was a safety hazard at work. Sam took the ring carefully off the dogtag chain and placed on the ring finger of her left hand.

"Come on!" She said to Chloe as she started out of the lab.

"Where are we going?"

"To see Felger, of course!"

Doctor Jay Felger was sitting on a stool with his back to the lab door when Sam and Chloe entered. He was holding a test tube up to a light and peering intently at the amber colored liquid substance in the vial.

"Felger!" Sam said in her most commanding, military voice.

Jay was so startled he dropped the test tube which instantly shattered.

"Um,...ah...Colonel Carter! What a surprise! What brings you up to my lab?" He asked nervously.

Sam took several steps toward Felger as she said "There appears to be a rumor going around the SGC about us and you seem to be the source of the rumor!"

"What?"

"The rumor I heard is that you and I are having an affair."

"Well,...um,...I..."

"Just let me set the record straight, Felger. I'm married." Sam held up her left hand to show him the ring. "My husband won't like it if he finds out you're spreading rumors about you and me having an affair. In fact," she said calmly "If General O'Neill believes the rumors, well I'm sure you realize what he is capable of..."

Jay Felger visibly paled. "You're married to General O'Neill?" He asked, his voice shaking.

"Yes. There's something else Felger. You see this beautiful young woman here?" Sam indicated Chloe and Felger nodded apprehensively. "She loves you, Jay." Sam said softy.

Jay looked from Sam to Chloe, unable to wrap his mind around what Colonel Carter had just told him.

"It's true, Jay," Chloe said gently.

"Really?" He asked, his voice cracking.

"Really," she replied.

Jay got off the stool he was sitting on and moved uncertainly toward Chloe. "You really love me?" he asked again.

"I have for years, Jay."

"I never knew."

Sam choose that moment to sneak out of Felger's lab. Just as she exited the laboratory she ran into Daniel.

"Sam, what are you doing up here in Felger's lab?"

"Oh, just setting the record straight. You wanna get some cake?" She asked the archeologist.

"You've definitely been around Jack too long," Daniel stated as the two headed for the commissary.
