One Hundred Days

Chapter 4: Recovery

Author's Notes: I'm thinkin' about changin' the title to A Thousand Days, cos, as one of you mentioned, without Carter on Earth, who will rescue Sam and Jack from Edora? I'm not sayin that they will get home, that is still a secret, even to me (my brain works in mysterious ways), but just let me know, okay. Oh, yeah, please R & R. Lol, Hydro

Jack's POV

Carter seems okay now. The Edorians have all started to build new houses. There are only about five that were still in tact. Including Laira's house. That's where Carter and I are staying until she's strong enough to leave. Then we have to build our own houses like every one else. Personally, I'd just like to get started on finding the Stargate, but Carter seems to think that it makes sense to build houses, just in case. Her leg is almost fully healed now, but I told her to rest for another week or two. She argued and says that as a doctor, she thinks that it is in her best interest to start moving.

Sam's POV

I told Colonel O'Neill that I was fine but he won't let me start on a house. He thinks I'm getting slightly snappy so I told him if I had a new house, I would be fine. The real reason I want to get out of here is because Laira keeps hitting on Colonel O'Neill. Stupid rat! Not that I'm jealous or anything, but if she thinks that that will work, she is sooo wrong! He told me to rest my leg for another week or two so I just said, "Sir, with all due respect, I am the doctor and doctors orders are that I should start walking and doing work, for example, designing the house." I was careful not to say "our house" in case he thought I was being clingy. He probably wants to stay with that rat any way. Seriously, what does she have that I don't have? Not that I want the Colonel to live with me because I don't. Kind of. I suppose.

Jack's POV

She's being really snappy. I wish she wouldn't. Despite Air Force bravado, I'm not as tough as she thinks. I have feelings, and her snappiness is hurting them. I'm gonna start on a house and surprise her.

Sam's POV

Something is definitely up! Laira keeps leaving the house, and the Colonel is always working on the building site. Please God, don't let him be seeing her!
