This takes place near the end of Forsaken.

Jack, Teal'c and Warick crouched in the sand as Sam started to come round in the clearing before them. "It's a trap, no doubt they have armed the ship," Warick spoke up as he examined the scene before him.
"We can't leave her down there," Jack was unable to conceal his concern as he watched Sam try to force free of her restraints.
Teal'c held his fear behind his warrior persona, "How do we disengage the ships defences."
"It can only be done from inside." Jack didn't need to think on military strategy that was Sam down there and he was going to get her.
"Cover me Teal'c,"
"Indeed," Teal'c knelt up preparing for an attack on O'Neill or Sam.
"I know how to disarm the defences, I will go." At that Teal'c's eyes shot up as he glared at the alien, he was not willing to trust him with Sam's life. Jack had a similar expression as he studied their new companion. After a minute Jack relented deciding that it was more logical as Warick knew the ship.
"We'll watch your back," Warick understood the double meaning of this but nodded to the Colonel as Teal'c looked from one to the other confused at how O'Neill could entrust Sam's safety to this man. Both men watched cautiously as Warick rose and made his way towards the ship. Teal'c moved forward to obtain a better view and coincidently a better shot, just in case something did go wrong. They were suddenly hit with the high-pitched ringing of the defences, instantly they ducked their heads and covered their ears, losing sight of Sam made Jack swiftly pull his head up once more. Minutes later the sound descended and stopped, they raced to their feet and Sam. Crossing the open ground Teal'c was focused only on Sam as Jack remembered the possible threat and kept a look out.
Pulling her gently up into his arms he carefully removed Sam's gag, "They have Jonas Sir, they're going to try to escape through the Stargate," Teal'c pulled his knife and freed her hands and feet.
"You all right," he looked her over knowing that he had to go after Jonas but also not wanting to leave her.
"A little groggy Sir."
Teal'c once more took hold of her arm as she swayed slightly, "I will stay with her O'Neill."
Jack looked at Sam again "Yeah," he got up and started running in the direction of the gate. Teal'c knew that look, Jack had looked at her many times before that way, it was a distant wanting, love. He felt her weight slump into him; wrapping his other arm round her he pulled her closer into him and laid a gentle kiss on her head. She moved round in his arm pulling herself onto his lap, she caught his lips with hers; he smiled against her relieved that she was not hurt severely. "Sam are you well, what occurred here," he pulled back and carefully tried he feel her head for injury.
"My head hurts a little, it'll be fine. What happened, I had restrained our captain in the ship, came out here to radio the Colonel, then I was hit on the head, then I was tied up here and they were taking Jonas."
"Is she unharmed," a voice called from the ship, Sam looked round Teal'c and saw an alien of the same race they had killed earlier, she looked at Teal'c in surprise hoping for an explanation.
"She is well," Teal'c called to Warick as he smiled down at the woman in his arms. Sam suddenly realized how they must have looked, her sitting in his lap with his arms round her, she pushed back from Teal'c and stood up with him; but as soon as she was on her feet she felt her legs give way as she started to fall, Teal'c took hold of her as Warick approached ready to offer assistance. "Samantha."
She shook her heady slowly in a hope of clearing it, "I'm fine Teal'c, it was just a blood rush.I stood up too quickly," she took a closer look at the alien as he approached them.
"Thank you for your assistance," Teal'c then bowed his head and turned to Sam, "Major Carter this is Warick, Captain of the ship."
She nodded to him, "Hi," she still felt embarrassed at being caught, if she even was, she was unsure as to what he had seen.
"There is a small medical room in the ship I believe some of the scanners still work if you wish you may use it."
"Thank you," they followed him into the ship, through an internal door, down a short corridor and into a small room.
Warick opened a cupboard and took out a small blue triangular device that had flashing lights on each corner and a screen in the centre, "I will run this over the injured area," Sam moved closer to him and directed him to were she had received the blow, after a few seconds he put down the scanner, "you have a mild concussion, I can treat it if you would allow, it is not painful."
"Sure, go ahead," Sam was willing to trust him if it meant getting rid of the pain and ever so annoying dizziness. He simply held another similar device over the affected area for a minute then removed it, the pain and dizziness subsided immediately, "Thank you, that was amazing, how does it work."
Warick looked at her then the device with puzzled, "I'm not sure Major I only captain a ship, I only know that it works," she had to smile at that, "You may rest here, I shall secure the area." Once he had left the room Sam sat on the bed with her legs dangling over the side, Teal'c moved in front of her and soon found her legs round his waist beckoning him closer. Her lips brushed his, again, keeping contact slightly longer, again, teasing him with her lips.
"I believe you are now fully healed," she pulled his lips to her, forcing her tongue into battle with his, she then moved her lips and tongue to his neck, "indeed.Sam we should assist O'Neill," usually he would not want to leave this situation but under the circumstances.
"Ok, I suppose," she got of the bed resentfully and followed Teal'c out to find Jack and Jonas.

Sam turned the corner to the lift; Jack was already there slumped against the wall waiting for her, dressed in his usual civilian gear that consisted of worn jeans, white t-shirt and that ever so sexy leather jacket. "Hi sorry I'm late Janet kept me, she's trying to figure out how that device worked."
Jack looked up at the sound of her voice as she approached him, "WOW, looking good Carter," he looked her up and down and then did it again, she had on high heeled black leather boots, tight black jeans, a casual dress top and her own fitted leather jacket it was a big change from military fatigues. She smiled playfully at him and hit the elevator button, "what did Janet say about your head."
"That it's fine, so what movie you taking me to see?" she asked as they got in the empty elevator.
"It's some new horror movie.apparently it's the scariest movie ever made," he put on a fake Dracula voice and waved his impression of scary hands in front of her, in response she just rolled her eyes. After the stresses of the last few weeks and lack of down time they had both decided to take a night off and go see a movie, Sam saw it as a chance to relax with a friend and to catch up; but Jack saw it as more of a date than two friends hanging out. He had made a decision after his little holiday with Harry that he was going to risk all he had on love and hoped that he wouldn't regret it. The elevator doors slid open "top side Mae lady," he waved a hand and bowed for her to go first.
"Why thank you, your such a good bell boy," they headed out the main gates and to Jack's pickup, he held the door open for her, "you're such a gentleman Colonel, what you up to?"
"Up to, I don't know what you're talking about, and please Sam call me Jack we're off base."
"We're not actually off base until we go through those gates Jack, I still think you're up to something you never open doors," she smirked over at him as he started the car.
"You deserve it, I want to treat you tonight," 'because I love you', he silently added. They spent the trip into the town and cinema catching up on gossip and general chatter. Sam never mention her relationship with Teal'c, they had decided to keep it secret for the now at least. The main topic of discussion was how they were planning to set up Jonas and his nurse friend, Janet had assigned her to him when ever the physicals came up as it involved tops coming of and hands going on. Sam had intentionally boasted about his acts of heroism when she was sure the nurse was there to hear and Jack had his to come. "So do you think it'll work?"
"Are you kidding, lock them both in a cupboard until they make out." She was looking at this with intelligence as usual, getting one person in a cupboard fine but two of them, impossible.
"It worked on a friend of mine in high school."
"Figures."

The couple slid into a row near the back, Jack's logic on this was that if the movie was dull you could watch everyone else, and put your feet on the chair in front without people complaining about obstructing their view. The house lights went down as the screen lit up; a bubbly voice came through the screen telling you how to get out if the place went on fire and that you shouldn't smoke or drop litter. The figure next to him moved in the shadows, he turned inconspicuously to her watching as she slid off her jacket, the top below it was a kind of red silk, the straps were thin and carried down to criss cross over the open back revelling Sam's soft pale skin. Jack held back the urge to touch her and instead turned back to the screen focusing all his attention at the trailers and not his very attractive second in command.
Thirty minutes into the movie and Jack was bored, no one had been axe murdered yet and the story followed a typical teenage crap horror, guy and girl who are bound to have sex, a bimbo who will run the wrong way, the strange guy who everyone accuses of being the killer except the girl who he ends up with, a menagerie of other useless characters who only serve as victims and lets not forget the jock who apparently saves the day and quite a few cheer leaders until he turns out to be the killer. Typical. A nudge to his side drew his ever so failing attention away from the screen and to the woman next to him; she nodded her head towards a teen couple that were a few rows in front of them in the half empty theatre hall. "Watch," she whispered to him, as if on queue the guy pretended to yawn and put his arm round the girl, Sam giggled at his attempt, "I can't believe people are still doing that one."
"It was a pathetic attempt, I'm surprised the girl let him," he whispered coolly into her ear as he continued to observe the couple as well as the shiver that pleasurably ran through Sam's body as he spoke to her.
"Yeah I'm sure you could do better," she sarcastically answered him after she got her breathing steady.
"That a challenge cause I could show you."
"Go on then," he wriggled in his chair then arched his back out like a cat, stretching his muscled arm out above him, made a fake yawning noise and dropped his arms like weights on either side of him, one round Sam's shoulder. Sam then slid closer into him leaning on the arm rest between them and stretching out her legs away from him, using his side as a back rest, causing his heart to fail and his senses to go on over load at the should be innocent contact, "very impressive, but I just wanted the arm rest," she whispered up to him and turned back to the screen, Jack just laughed and subconsciously pulled her closer to him. He suddenly felt guilty at how he was using her, she had no idea about his feelings for her and here he was touching her, being with her for his own gain. A scream ran through out the cinema as the bimbo character ran straight into the killer and was stabbed in the chest. The young girl in front of them hid her head in her boyfriend's chest then they both started to make out. As everyone else in the cinema hid from the gruesome scenes on the screen, Sam and Jack just laughed at the unrealistic ness and typicality of the movie and the teens.
Finally the credits started to roll up on screen and the people began to file out, Jack put an arm round Sam's waist guiding her out by a group of jeering men. The young couple passed by them, "Wow, that movie was awesome, I can't believe that twist, who would have guessed it was the jock? I mean after saving all those cheer leaders." Jack suppressed a laugh leaning into Sam as he did so. The car ride to Sam's house was spent discussing the movie, the hopelessness of the guys' moves on his girl and general chatter.
"Well the guy did get to make out with her."
"That is such a typical male response. But you have to admit he did seem like your typical idiot high school jock."
"Well I'll give you that," he then put on a stupid almost surfer voice, "Wow, Awesome." he then started to laugh and couldn't finish his impression. "Speaking of high school tricks, we got a chance with Jonas and his hello nurse."
Sam again rolled her eyes at the memory, "I don't think so, how would we get them both in there at the same time." Luckily for Jack he pulled up at her house just then because he had no clue how they were actually going to do it. He walked Sam up to her door in silence as his little voice started to talk to him. 'This is it Jack, tonight is the night she learns how you feel.I must be crazy she will never feel the same.Jack shut up you know she has some feelings for you, the whole thing with those super power arm bands.I don't know that was a long time ago, things have changed.No you've made this decision already you are going to tell her, tonight.' They had reached her door without him realising it, "Jack," 'ask her now.'
"Night cap."

"Thank you for your assistance," Teal'c then bowed his head and turned to Sam, "Major Carter this is Warick, Captain of the ship."
She nodded to him, "Hi," she still felt embarrassed at being caught, if she even was, she was unsure as to what he had seen.
"There is a small medical room in the ship I believe some of the scanners still work if you wish you may use it."
