Part 2.

A/N: Feedback please!!!

Jack lay on his bed, hands resting behind his head, in his quarters. He had just come back from visiting Sam in the infirmary. He always loved to watch her sleep before but seeing her pale features tonight really tugged at his heart. He couldn't help remind himself of how cold he was to her back on Endora, just brushing her off like dirt and walked straight past her to Laira. Let's not forget what Daniel, Janet, and Teal'c had told him. Well not Teal'c, Teal'c only gave him disapproving looks but those looks meant more than words. He had realised she must of felt like someone had slapped her in the face. She had done the impossible - a particle beam generator and rescued him even at the cost of her own health. He had no excuses. God, he didn't deserve her. The one thing he knew was he had to make it right again.

"Its good to see you are eating again" Doctor Fraiser came by the bed watching Sam nibbling on a piece of toast.

"Can I have a coffee Janet, please?" Sam begged.

"You are NOT having coffee. You practically lived off it for three months. Its orange juice from now on." Janet told Sam sternly.

"How are you feeling, Sam?"

"I have a bad headache" she said, as she massaged her temples.

"I am not surprised, you will be suffering from caffeine withdrawal. Did you get some sleep?"

"...Some" Sam hesitated in her response.

"You know you scared us yesterday. I am not going to lecture you Sam, but when I asked you if there was a problem.."

"I know Janet.. I know.. I am sorry, okay? I am on downtime now so I will not be working. I will take better care of myself"

Janet sighed and looked at Sam's pale features. She had changed so much. She was so much thinner and had dark rings under eyes. She only hoped that Sam would take better care of herself.

"I will have Daniel take you home and I will give you something for your headache. I want you to rest Sam. I mean it"

Daniel picked at a thread on the arm of Sam's navy chair he was sitting in. She seemed pleased to be in her house and a lot more settled than the last time he had seen her. He had been so worried after finding her unconscious in her lab.

"Thank you Daniel, for all you have done for me. Thank you, for feeding Shroedinger for me and watering my plants, filling my cupboards too. I am really grateful"

"No problem Sam, it's the least I could do" Daniel gave her a small smile.

Sam knew that if it weren't for Daniel. She would probably have come home to a cat which would of adopted itself to the neighbours next door, a heap of dead plants, one smelly fridge due to the contents going off and an endless pile of junkmail and newspapers sprawling against her front door. She couldn't remember the last time she had been home. She spent time sleeping in her lab or on occasion when Janet was there to throw her out she would sleep in her quarters and blacking out.no! she would not go there.

"Would you like me to stay for a bit?" Daniel asked Sam as he watched her stretch out on her navy couch.

"Its okay Daniel, I am going to lie here and watch tele, but thank you"

Daniel could see she was yawning repeatedly and doubted she would last long at being awake.

"I will be round bring some dinner in a couple of hours for you okay?" Daniel got out of the chair and got to the door and waited for an answer. He was surprised when he turned around to see she had already fallen asleep. He went down to the hall cupboard and got a blanket and draped it over her.

"Sleep well Sam" he said, as he closed the door.
