~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What's really frustrating about this information is that we can't really use any of it. I was seriously hoping we could study the technological properties of the device, but it seems like the Ancients didn't think it was important to include that in this. So, that's the end of it I guess." Sam said taking a bite of her breakfast. It was the next morning and all of SG-1 was in the commissary.
"Sam, what do you think about what the device said though?" Jonas asked quietly.
Sam shrugged," Jonas, in all honesty I have no idea what to think. It seems to contradict a lot. But then again why would the Ancients have brought it up. Unless it has some other meaning that we didn't realize. Personally that's what I think it is."
"Well, we'll never know now will we?" Colonel O'Neill added." I say we just let this thing go. Yes, it was interesting, even confusing. But what's the point in harping on it? It won't make the answers come."
"Yeah, but Colonel, I know that we'll never understand what the Ancients meant by their observation. But-doesn't it make you wonder?" Jonas asked.
"Wonder what?" Colonel O'Neill asked," If God's real? Jonas, I've seen so much that can't be explained the past six years that I really don't think about it any more. I say let it go."
"I agree O'Neill, that the answers may never be revealed to us, but it is rather intriguing that out of all religions the Ancients would make reference to Christianity. Though we may never know the true nature of the device, to use such an example must have been greatly founded."
"So what are you saying Teal'c? We should believe it?" Colonel O'Neill asked.
"No, simple that we should not disregard what the Ancients so valued and thought so precious that it would only be shown to one who was worthy."
"Well, I'll say it again, we'll never know." Colonel O'Neill commented, and glanced at Jonas." Jonas, why don't you go and talk to Amy about it. You keep staring at her sitting over there anyway."
Jonas shrugged," I wasn't staring at her. I just glanced in her direction."
"Jonas, you were staring." Sam added.
"Indeed." Teal'c agreed with a slight smile.
Jonas gave a glaring look at Teal'c. "I wasn't staring." He emphasized.
"Jonas, just go talk to her. Besides she should probably know everything we found out. Maybe she can shed some light on it all." Sam suggested.
Jonas looked at them all," You really don't mind if I go talk to her?"
"Jonas, get out of here." Colonel O'Neill said.
"Okay," Jonas got up from the table and went to sit with Amy.
They all stared after him." What do you think's going to happen with those two?" Colonel O'Neill asked.
"Jonas Quinn has said more than once that he views Amy Smith as nothing more than a friend." Teal'c stated.
Sam looked at him," Do you believe that?"
Teal'c smiled," No, I do not." He paused," They do appear to posses more than mere friendship."
"'The people in love are always the last to know.'" Colonel O'Neill paused," I'm not sure, is that a cliché?"
"I have never heard that statement before O'Neill. What does it mean?"
"Well, Teal'c, it basically means that sometimes two people can be beyond head over heels in love with each other, and they don't have a clue that they're in love. As far as they're concerned they're just friends. But everyone else around them can see that it's more than that." Colonel O'Neill glanced at Sam as he said this.
"You think that's what it really is between Jonas and Amy?" Sam asked.
Colonel O'Neill glanced at them," Take a look at them sitting there Carter, what would you say? It's obvious there's something going on but the two of them are so dense that they don't seem to get it."
Sam smirked glancing at their table. "Yeah, I see what you mean, sir." She was quiet for a moment," Think they'll ever figure it out?"
Colonel O'Neill caught Sam's eyes and stared at her for a moment," I think-that one day, they'll realize what they mean to each other."
Sam maintained the gaze for a moment then let out a heavy sigh," I think that they will too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mind if I take a seat?" Jonas asked as he approached Amy's table.
Amy looked up," Sure," She paused." So did you figure out the device?"
Jonas gave a heavy sigh as he sat in a chair," Yeah, you could say that." Amy gave a confused look." It's a really long story."
"You know you keep saying that." She said with a grin.
Jonas smirked. "Yeah, I do, don't I?" He slowly explained everything to her about the device and what it had spoken, and how it somehow had not been recorded. "Pretty weird, huh?"
Amy bit her lip," It's odd to say the least. What do you think about it all?" Amy gave a questioning gaze.
Jonas shrugged," In all honesty Amy; I have no idea what to think. Sam was wondering if it was some kind of clue or something to something that could lead to a deeper understanding. But I don't know. I know I'm confused but that's about it." He paused, "There's something I didn't tell you."
"What?"
Jonas pondered for a moment," When I finally figured out the glyphs, I had taken your advice." She gave a puzzled look," I prayed about it. I'm not sure to who or how I did. But I prayed about it. And shortly after was when I was able to figure it all out."
"That surprises you?" Amy said plainly.
Jonas gave a look of surprise, "Well, doesn't it surprise you?"
She shook her head, "No, I knew it was a very likely possibility."
Jonas sat back in his chair." All I know is I'm really confused now. It all doesn't make sense. I pray, I figure out the device, we find the device and it turns out it was all about God and the Bible and how it's true. I mean how does this work? It just makes no sense. I have no clue how I feel about this or what to think, or even more importantly, where do we go from here with this information? Even if from most it gets dismissed, I can't dismiss this, what's going to happen in that area?"
Amy shrugged," Jonas, I honestly don't know. This happened for a reason, why I'm not sure. Sometimes questions remain unanswered, and the answers we do get aren't the ones that we're looking for."
"Yeah, but now I'm so confused, I just can't think of what's ahead past this revelation if you will."
Amy nodded," You want to know what your real problem is?"
Jonas fiddled with his tea bag, "Tell me."
"You've reached the bend in the road."
Jonas gave an inquisitive look, "Huh?"
"You've reached the bend in the road." Amy repeated.
"You mean crossroads?"
Amy shook her head," No, there's a big difference, crossroads are where you have to choose which path you take, you can see it but you have to decide. The bend in the road is different." Jonas looked at her oddly," Okay bare with me. When you're driving down a road and you're driving straight, you can basically see what's ahead of you. But when you see a curve, or bend in the road you don't know what's ahead, you can't see it and you won't be able to until you get there. It's uncertain what you could encounter, but you drive on anyway. It's the same principal in life. You hit a bend in the road, you don't know exactly what's around that bend, but you'll pass it with the knowledge you've learned and move forward with that knowledge forever being a part of you and changing how you view the world."
Jonas smiled at her," Where did you ever come up with a theory like that?"
"I'm a doctor of philosophy Jonas, I'm smart." She paused," Actually my favorite childhood author used it in one of her books."
Jonas laughed," Still a very good and a very real example." Jonas paused," So what about you and me?"
Amy gave him a look, "Excuse me?"
Jonas chuckled, "Well, you know half the base thinks we have something going on." He smirked.
Amy shook her head, "You know you would think with everything that they know they would have better things to do with their time then spread rumors."
Jonas laughed," I know. At least this rumor is fake though."
"I know, I can't believe people think we have something between us."
"At least we don't have to worry about that being a bend in the road for us." He joked.
Amy rolled her eyes," Oh cute, real cute."
Jonas thought for a moment," You know what, Amy?"
"What?"
"I think that life itself is a bend in the road, not just certain times. I think every action and everything we do. I think we always are facing and always will face in some way shape or form, the bend in the road. All we have to do is decide where we go from there."

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Final note: Well it's finally done! Thanks for everyone sticking with me this long! I know I hit some issues in here and I appreciate the positive response. I know I said I would write more, but if I do it really depends on time, but more importantly what God inspires me to write. Truth is that's the only reason I'm writing, is to please Him. God Bless all of you!
