Chapter 2 – Dreaming

"I love you" He said "Right back at ya" she whispered, smiling. She stopped smiling, and said, seriously "I love you too." He kissed her again, and she held him so tight, she never wanted to let go.

"So anyway, in conclusion, we think these artifacts could indicate a much larger time scale than originally hypothesized. Jack, are you even listening to me? Jack... JACK!?" He sat up with a jump. "You were asleep weren't you?" Jonas sighed, glaring at him.

Sam was smiling that special smile again. Sam! He realized suddenly he had been dreaming of her again, and looked away hurriedly, hoping she hadn't noticed him staring.

Sam stared in to the microscope, frowning. Why had the colonel been staring at her like that? Not that she minded of course, but he didn't usually do it. Sometimes she really felt that he might love her, and then other times he would say, or do something, that would leave her completely confused.

She had never met a man like Jack, who looked so straightforward on the outside, but did anyone really know him? She realized she hadn't even begun to scratch the surface. She would like to get to know him better, she thought with a smile. She would like to get to know him a whole lot better.

She had been staring at him in the briefing room again. She hoped he hadn't noticed, but had a horrible feeling he had, as she recalled the way he had looked away, looking embarrassed.

"Carter? Carter, you in here?" Jack stuck his head round the door, and she couldn't help smiling. "You coming to lunch?" "Sure sir. Hang on, I'm coming" She stood up, aware for the first time something didn't feel right. Her head felt fuzzy, and she suddenly felt very tired. "Carter, you ok?" He knew something was wrong. A few moments later, she went ghostly white, and crumpled to the floor. He managed to catch her before she hit the ground.

"Help!" He cried "Somebody go and get help!"
