Teal'c walked through the corridors of the SGC in search of Major Carter, he had been worried about her and now he was overly so. She had eaten very little and slept less since Colonel O'Neill had gone missing. Teal'c had seen her do this kind of thing before but never for such a long period of time, it had nearly been a month. He entered her lab but she wasn't there, he spent another 20 minutes walking through the corridors before he heard a light sobbing sound emanating from the women's locker room. He listened at the door and been almost sure that it was indeed Major Carter and that she was alone. He entered the room slowly.
"Major Carter," he said as he stood in the doorway as Sam sat crying on a small bench in the middle of the room with her back to him.
"Teal'c this is the women's locker room," she wasn't sure if she wanted him to leave or stay.
"It appears there is no one else here but you and you are fully clothed," he walked over to her and sat next to her.
"True," she was still crying gently.
"Are you all right Major Carter?"
"I'm fine, yeah."
"Have you given up hope of finding O'Neill," he was curious to know why she was upset and denying that she was.
"Hope, no. I'm starting to think Dr Lee is right, I don't think the door way is the answer.it's been almost a month Teal'c if there was a way back.it's just. it feels like we just lost Daniel and I don't know if I could." He was unsure how to react to his distraught friend. He slid his arm round her and was a little surprised when she wrapped both arms around him and wept openly, he put his other arm round her. Again, unsure of what to say or do, he let her cry in his secure and caring hold. After a while he felt her relax more on his muscled form, he could tell by her slowed breathing that she was tired. She looked up at him with red eyes and tear scores running down her face.
"Teal'c do you think we'll find him?"
He looked down at her desperate tired face and he realised how weak and vulnerable she was, he had rarely seen her like this and a feeling of sadness became visible on his face, "Major Carter we shall succeed in finding Colonel O'Neill." She smiled weakly at him, "come, you need to rest," he stood up lifting her to her feet; she wiped her face with the back of her hands to remove her excess tears. Teal'c put an arm round her waist and guided her out the locker room but even when in the corridor he did not release his gentle hold on her. Sam didn't mind. She was actually glad. She needed him there to reassure her that he wasn't going to leave, she didn't want him to leave she had already lost Daniel, Jack was missing, she needed him to be there.
**
They reached her quarters and they both entered, Sam sat down on her bed and pulled off her sweater to reveal her strap top. Teal'c sat down next to her wrapping his arms around her as a fresh flow of tears poured from her sore eyes.
"Teal'c. could you.um, it's just," she tried to ask him something that should be simple but it felt strange to ask him, "could you stay here tonight, I don't want to be alone." She was finally able to ask him after just rushing it out. Teal'c looked at her first a little confused and then with understanding.
"Of course Major Carter," he had hoped that she would ask as he did not like the idea of leaving her alone when she was this upset. He released her and she went into the bathroom to get ready. He had nothing to change into so he removed his clothes to leave him only in boxers. Sam came back moments later wearing a tight tank top and shorts both in army green. The first thing he realised was how attractive she looked, he had noticed this many times before but this was the first time he had seen her in so little. She also had the same impression as she saw clearly his uncovered body.
They slid under the covers on separate sides of the bed and clicked the lights off. It felt strange to neither of them as Teal'c rarely felt embarrassed by such things and they had slept next to each other in the field, often huddled together for warmth. Sam rolled over and lay close to him, they're bodies in contact, Teal'c moved his arm around her back and the other round her waist pulling her further onto him as she slid one leg between his. It didn't take long for Sam to fall asleep in Teal'c' secure arms, but he lay awake longer thinking about the woman in his arms. 'I know it is wrong for me to feel this way but I can not control it, O'Neill holds great affection and love for her but I feel that I do as well,' he had been trying to avoid this internal battle. 'He is lost somewhere and I am here in bed with one he holds so dear, but I also hold her dear. I am betraying him, he does not know of my feelings yet he has confided in me, but then Sam is not his, he only wishes it. I never knew emotions could cause so much doubt, pain and joy'.
**
Teal'c woke up first to the unusual and beautiful sensation of having a gorgeous woman in the same bed as him. He lay there silently for a time not wanting to disturb her sleeping form. He watched and thought how every smile; laugh, glance and touch from her lit a fire of passion in him. Finally he slid out of bed away from the one he loved as the feeling of been with her but not having her become too great. He had decided not to make his feelings know to her and honour the trust that O'Neill had placed in him, but he was unprepared for how difficult this would be. He pulled on his clothes and picked up her spare key card, knowing that she had hardly eaten he decided to bring her breakfast.
**
Sam's eyes slowly opened as she found herself alone in bed but she didn't have to look far to find Teal'c. He had his back to her and was fixing something on the table.
"Morning," she called to him from the bed; he turned round and watched her as she slid out of her bed and walked over to him. 'How beautiful she is, even when she has just awoke, Teal'c remember your promise, O'Neill is in love with her. But I am also'. His mind was starting to annoy him as it had the habit of thinking about Sam in a way he promised himself he wouldn't.
"Good morning Major Carter, I have brought you breakfast," stepping aside she saw the table layout. There was a large plate of sliced melons, grapes and strawberries, a pot of coffee, glass of orange juice and a small vase with a single deep purple flower. "Teal'c this is amazing," she smiled at him, sat down and started to eat.
**
Colonel O'Neill walked over to the small craft as an overjoyed SG-1 rushed to him, Sam at the front. They stopped in front of each other, "Sir, how are you?"
He laughed loudly and forgetting a little thing called regulations he grabbed hold of her in a tight embrace that she willingly returned, "I'm doing much better, how did you find us. and were are we?"
"It's a long story Sir," they smiled at each other as Teal'c felt an unusual sensation of jealousy. He attempted to suppress it, 'They are well matched and care for one another' again his other voice took hold 'but they are forbidden to be by their regulations, they could never be free to openly have a relationship'. Again he claimed control 'love finds away, and I do not even know if she feels for me' these internal battles were starting to disturb him. After they were all reunited and Sam explained what had happened they made the short journey to the Tok'ra world and all bar Harry gladly walked through that shinny pool that took them home.
**
A gentle knock came at Teal'c' door, unsure who it may be at that late a time he opened it to find Sam standing, "Major Carter," he was surprised to see her "come in."
She shyly walked in and by him, then turning to face him, "I. I just want to thank you for all you did, I was kinda falling apart," she seemed embarrassed to admit her weakness.
"There is no need, I am your friend and I care deeply for you, I am always here for you," she wrapped her arms round his neck and gave his cheek a quick kiss before heading to the door. 'Why did she have to do that, does she not know how that makes me feel, I promised myself but I cannot hold to it, I need her, I love her'? "Sam," she stopped, that was the first time he had called her that.
"Teal'c," he was looking at her with worry, fear and embarrassment, she couldn't help but smile at him.
"I must confess something to you," he moved closer to her, "I understand if you.if. um," he felt himself go red, this was harder than he thought, he lowered his head and turned it away from her. To his surprise she reached out with a gently hand and turned him to face her.
"Teal'c you can tell me anything," she looked bewildered by the unusual behaviour of her friend. He took in a deep breath and decided that he had to tell her or he would go insane.
" I feel more for you than I have said, I'm in love with you," he let out a slow shaky breath and started to wonder if he had done the right thing. What if she didn't feel the same for him? What if she ran out of the room? What if she went to Jack? 'What have I done, why did I tell her? Have I destroyed her trust in me?' He could not control his mind as they stood in silence, Sam obviously still taking in what he had said to her. To Teal'c it felt like hours when in reality it was merely a few seconds. She looked into his deep, worried eyes and smiled openly with true happiness, he returned the gesture, as he had not seen her smile like that in some time. They edged closer letting their lips meet in a kiss that held so much passion, hope and promise. He lifted her into his arms and carried her gently to his bed, "I love you Teal'c," how long he had waited to hear those words, how often he had dreamed of her telling him.
"I love you Sam, I will never leave you."
