Disclaimer and all that jazz are in part one
Part 2
When Sam told Mark of Jacob's death, she had to admit he took it better than she thought he would. He screamed a little, threw some things but he never got mad at her or what she represented. She knew he resented the military for her father's death but he never said it out loud. To be honest she wasn't sure she would be able to contain herself if he started in on his contempt for the military and those in it.
However, his behavior at Jacob's funeral was slightly different. He let his dislike for the military be very well known when he met Jack and the rest of the members of SG-1. After all they had made the trip to San Diego because Sam and Mark both agreed their father should be buried with their mother. Sam on the other hand remained quiet throughout the service because she didn't want to cause a scene, she would deal with her brother later. She was surprised, however, to see Pete at the service.
She figured Mark had told him about their father and more than likely suggested he come to the service. It didn't really bother her; he was after all Mark's friend. What bothered her was his behavior towards her. He hovered the entire time they were at Mark's house. Finally fed up she pulled him into one of the spare rooms in the house and told him how much she disliked his behavior
"I'm not going to break so stop hovering"
"Sam, I just want you to I am there for you. You don't seem to mind then your team hovers"
"I know you are there, but please give me some space" she chose to ignore the last part of his comment because she wasn't in the mood to argue with him
He reluctantly agreed and backed off for the rest of the afternoon. After he left she felt a little guilty for being so short with him but she hated when people thought of her as a china doll that needed to be coddled when things got bad.
"Everything ok?"
Jumping at the sound of his voice, Sam quickly turned around "Sir you startled me"
"Sorry, just wanted to make sure you were ok"
Ok, so the guys had been hovering around her too but in her eyes it was a different kind of hovering. They knew what she was capable of and that she wasn't going to fold like a cheap chair. "Yes sir, he was just…"
"Hovering?"
"Yes sir" she smiled. In fact it was the first smile Jack had seen from her in the last few days and was glad he was the one who did it.
"Your brother…."
"He's not insulting anyone is he?"
"No I was just going to tell you that me and the guys are going to head back to the hotel. That's why I was looking for you and he said you came in here"
"Oh. Thank you sir"
"You're welcome, Sam" She was a little surprised at his use of her first name but didn't think too much of it. Mainly because she wasn't allowed to think too much of it
After everyone left, Sam stayed a little while longer to talk with her brother about his behavior at the service. He merely shrugged her off saying that all military stuck together so of course she would side with them. Both got angry and it was like nothing had ever changed between them. Afraid she would say something she would regret Sam merely stormed out of her brother's house and went to the hotel she and the others were staying at. When she got to her room she cried herself to sleep.
