Well, Here it is folks. The third chapter of This Moment. I know, I know. It took me FOREVER to get it up, but hey, give me a break. You guys are demanding. Just so you know, the sequel to Dear Jack is coming up soon, so get ready for some more Stargate fun!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Stargate SG-1, the characters, the Stargate, or any of the other stuff that I usually write (poop). If I did own Stargate, there would be a whole lot more Sam and Jack scenes, and Daniel would have a decent girlfriend, and Teal'c, well, he's fine. The ideas are all mine though.
Chapter 3: Memories.
Damn these infernal memories!
They flooded every inch of Sam's mind, forcing her to remember.
Capt. Carter, meet Colonel Jack O'Neil.
But sir! We can't do that!
Carter, that's an order!
It's the Gou'ald, sir!
Carter, give me hand with this will ya?
I can fix the reactor, sir, I just need more time!
For cryin' out loud!
Jack....
Major Samantha Carter. That's got a ring to it, doesn't it?
It's our only hope, sir.
Sam, I have loved you since the day we met.
I will not leave you behind, sir!
Samantha Carter, will you marry me?
Oh... Jack....
Sam could not understand these memories, or why the pushed their way into her mind, but as quickly as she lived them, they were gone. For the first time in a long time, Sam wanted them to come back.
Why did they disappear?
The bright lights of the infirmary flashed in Sam's eyes, forcing her awake.
"Where am I?" blocking the light with her arm.
Forget where am I, who am I? What am I doing here? What's going to happen to me? Why can't I remember anything?
"You're in the infirmary," the voice of Dr. Janet Frasier penetrated her thoughts, "You had quite the fall back there. You fainted in your room, probably from stress exhaustion. How do you feel?"
"Who are you?"
"Sam, it's me, Janet. Don't you remember....," Janet stopped herself, wondering if it could possibly be....,"Sam, what do you remember?"
Sam stared at Janet, not knowing how to respond to this stranger that asked her questions. Was this person supposed to mean something to her? Sam wasn't sure.
What do I say? The truth? That I don't remember a damn thing, and that I have no clue who I am?
Sam spoke the dreaded word that Janet thought she had been prepared for.
"Nothing."
Janet turned from the beside of Carter, and ran to the phone on the wall.
"Get General Hammond down here stat! We have an emergency!"
Janet hung up, and faced the innocent-looking Carter. We're screwed, she thought to herself.

"What exactly are you telling me, Doctor? That Major Carter has amnesia?" Hammond hollered to the Janet's end of the debriefing table. He almost never actually talked.
"That's precisely what I'm telling you, sir. Major Carter has amnesia, and a severe case of it, too," Janet looked across the table to Daniel, who was studying her face carefully.
"Is there any possible explanation for how she could have contracted amnesia?" Hammond looked at the Doctor, but he was addressing all those in the room.
"General Hammond, Major Carter did seem to be under great stress after seeing Colonel O'Neil die. She also was quite upset when she met him alive. It is possible that the stress overcame her and completely erased her memory," Teal'c reasoned.
"Teal'c's right, Sam was under a lot of stress, especially since Jack came back from the dead," Daniel pushed Teal'c's point.
Jack was fed up with people commenting that Sam's amnesia had been caused by his returning from the dead.
"For cryin' out loud! If you want to blame it on me, go ahead! It's not like I'm in the room in the first place!" Jack ran his hand through his hair impatiently, wishing he could punch Daniel's face in.
Jack turned as a commotion was heard outside the door to the debriefing room.
"Let me in! You can't just keep me out here! I probably have security clearance! And I'm probably a higher rank than you are!"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm going to have to escort you back to the infirmary."
"Get you hands off me! I could have you court-marshaled for assaulting a higher ranking officer! Couldn't I?"
"Yes, ma'am.."
"Well, then get out of my way!"
The door to the debriefing room burst open as Sam came in. A lieutenant followed in after her, apologizing to General Hammond.
"I'm sorry, sir, but she insisted that she needed to be here."
General Hammond looked sympathetically at the lieutenant. "It's alright. You're dismissed."
"Yes, sir!"
The door closed behind the lieutenant quietly as Hammond turned to look at Sam.
"Just what do you think you're doing, Major Carter?" Hammond was furious. He turned to look at Dr. Frasier. "She's not even allowed out of the infirmary!"
"Sir..." Jack started in, coming to Carter's defense.
"General Hammond... that is your name, right?" Sam began.
"Yes."
"General Hammond, please, I know I needed to be here. I just felt it. I am supposed to be here, aren't I?" She looked at Jack for confirmation, but when she met his eyes, she stopped. A flicker of recognition passed in her eyes, and she grabbed the back of a nearby chair to steady herself as a black-out came upon her.
Jack looked at her strangely. Janet rose from her end of the table and walked to Sam.
"You shouldn't be here. Come on, let's get..."
"No!" Carter pushed Janet's protective arm off. "I NEED to be here."
General Hammond looked confusedly at Major Carter. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying," Sam began,"that I stay in this room with you all and Jack, I may get my memory back."
Daniel sat up, and Teal'c mimicked his movements.
"Major Carter, how did you remember Colonel O'Neil's name, if you have amnesia?" Teal'c asked her.
"I think I know," Daniel intervened. "It was that black-out you just had, wasn't it? You remembered Jack's name when you saw his face and then had that black-out, right?"
"I think so, " she looked warily at the General and at Janet.
"Dr. Frasier, is this possible?" Hammond asked.
"Sir, I'm can't tell for sure, unless we run some tests."
"I have an idea," Jack spoke up from his corner of the room, where he had been standing, watching Carter, making sure she was okay. "Maybe if we take her to other places where she's been, her memory will come back?" He looked at Hammond, and then at Janet for an answer.
"Sir? What do you think?" Janet asked the General.
"Do you think it will work, Doctor?"
"We could always try, sir."
Hammond turned to Jack, and gave him the answer Jack had been praying for.
"SG-1, you have a go."
