Janet sat in the commissary nursing her cup of coffee, mulling over what an
idiot she had been. She didn't notice that Sam had sat down opposite her
until she spoke.
"Hi." She said somberly, Janet looked up, startled,
"Hi." She avoided making eye contact and turned her attention back towards her coffee. She couldn't face Sam, she felt like she had betrayed her.
"I was trying to call you yesterday when we got back." Sam said, concerned by her friend's behavior.
"Yeah, Cassie said, I forgot to call back, sorry." Janet lied, she'd been there when Sam had called all three times, but she didn't hadn't wanted to talk to her, truth was she still didn't.
"Oh." Sam replied, sensing her friend wasn't telling the truth. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok, and I could have done wit someone to talk to." Sam said sadly. Janet felt awful, not only had she betrayed her friend, but now because of her guilt, she'd not been there for her when she needed her.
"I have to get back." Janet knew the excuse was feeble even as she was making it. Sam looked on as Janet hurried from the commissary, confused by her actions.

"Jan!" Jack grabbed Janet's arm, pulling her into a storage closet. "We need to talk." He said, his voice serious.
"Do we?" She said evasively.
"Uh, yeah, I'd say so. You've been avoiding me ever since..you know."
"Have I?"
"Jan don't be like that, it's not that big a deal." Jack said, confused by her attitude,
"Jack we slept together!"
"So." He shrugged. "It's not like we haven't done it before."
"Jack, that was fifteen years ago!" She said, angered by his blasé attitude. "A lot's changed since then." She said, her tone softer.
"Such as..."
"Never mind." She said turning towards the door. "Let's just forget it ever happened." She said exiting the room.

"Hey Teal'c." Sam greeted her Jaffa friend warmly as he entered her lab. He nodded his acknowledgement in his customary fashion. "Actually I'm glad you stopped by. I wanted to talk to you."
"Does the ascension of Daniel Jackson still trouble you." He asked,
"No." She answered quickly, "Well yes, but that's not what I wanted to talk about."
"What then is it that you wish to discuss?"
"Have you noticed an atmosphere?" She asked, hesitant over how to phrase her question.
"This world has an atmosphere composed of oxy-" She cut him of mid- sentence.
"No Teal'c that not what I meant." She said smiling at how literal he could be.
"What then are you referring to?"
"Between the Colonel and Janet, I dunno, they just seem off with each other."
"I have indeed noticed their strange behavior around one another, perhaps it is to do with the ascension of Daniel Jackson." He suggested.
"Maybe." Sam said thinking of a reason herself.
"I'm sure it will pass in time." He laid a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks Teal'c." She smiled.
