Sorry about the long wait for such a short update, but I've been busy with school and starting to study for finals.  Hopefully you'll forgive me and continue reviewing.  Also it may continue to be awhile between each update, so just check every once in awhile.  You may luck out.

Normal Point of View…

Everyone was in shock at what they had just witnessed.  Hammond could barely believe his eyes, while Jack and Daniel seemed almost speechless—well they were making funny choking noises as they stared at Sam Carter, with wings! Teal'c simply raised his eyebrow at everyone and then helped a still levelheaded Janet move the unconscious captain down to the infirmary.

Ten minutes later they were setting her on one of the unoccupied infirmary beds, making sure to lay her on her stomach to help avoid hurting the wings that still protruded from her back.  Shortly after stepping back the wings disappeared causing yet another eyebrow to rise.  Upstairs in the briefing room three male figures still sat staring at the spot on the floor in utter confusion.

About one hour later…

            Sam woke slowly as her senses came back one by one, starting with a faint sense of touch and ending with the excruciating pain suddenly filtering back into her body.  Obviously growing wings was painful, at least for the first couple of times—and oh man did she hope only for the first time or so.  Carefully sitting up, so as not to draw any attention from the nurses she knew were lurking around somewhere, she took a careful look at her self.

            Finding herself intact, despite what it felt like, she allowed a small sigh of relief to escape her.  Only to nearly scream in agony as her back and chest felt that breathing was not meant to be painless, and accordingly took action to insure that it was so.  This of course somehow managed to draw Janet over to her bed like a moth to a flame.  How the petite miracle worker had heard her from… wherever she had been lurking about was a complete mystery.

            "Sam! You're awake! Are you OK? What happened in the briefing room? Are…"

            "Janet, breathe.  Please. One question at a time, right after I ask you something."  Janet looked a little sheepish as her friend and patient scolded her.  It did not help any that Teal'c was standing several feet away giggling like a schoolgirl.

            "Oh hush you!" Janet sniped at the large Jaffa, earning only a confused look from Sam and a secret smile from the large warrior who merely continued to giggle.
