Talk To Me
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in my story, they belong to the creative minds at MGM television and the producers, writers, et al of Stargate SG-1. Sadly, I do not own this idea either, it is inspired by a couple of writers. The only thing of this story, frankly, that I do own is the way that I have written it. Please do not sue me for

The end of another relatively quiet day at the SGC. Most of the day's activity had consisted of several of the SG teams coming and going to and from one planet or another. SG-1 was among the few teams that wasn't scheduled to head out on a mission that day and now they were on their way out for the night.
"Daniel! Wait up!" Colonel Jack O'Neill called as he hurried through the corridor, trying to catch up to his friend.
Dr. Daniel Jackson turned to face the source of the sound, slowing his pace to allow the older man to catch him. "Hey, Jack. How's it going?" Daniel smiled as Jack fell into step beside him.
"Things are going great. How are you, Danny? What's on your agenda for the evening?" Jack asked casually as the two stepped into the elevator for the ride to the surface. "I'm fine, I guess. I'm a little tired though. It's been a long couple of days. That mysterious activation Tuesday and yesterday SG-5 came through under fire. Today was thankfully a relatively quiet day. Tonight, I'm thinking of taking Sarah out for a quiet dinner and then taking the evening to relax and wind myself down a little. I could sure use it."
"I hear that. I think I'll take Sam out to a movie tonight. It might do us good to get out."
"Yeah. Well, our journey to the surface is over. Let's head to the lot." Daniel joked as they stepped out into the parking lot and headed to their cars.
"Very funny. Anyway, goodnight, Daniel. Go home and get some rest. Tell Sarah I said hello and I'll see you back here in the morning."
"I will. Night, Jack. See you tomorrow."
As Daniel arrived home and pulled into his driveway, he was extremely glad to be home and away from the hectic environment that he was in everyday. When he walked in the door, he left the stresses of his job behind him as he saw his girlfriend sitting on the couch watching television.
"Hey, Daniel. How was your day?" Sarah asked as she stood to greet him with a kiss.
"It was good. Actually, it was quiet around there today. I was thinking. How would you like to go out for dinner tonight? I know we haven't had a chance to get out much lately and this is the perfect opportunity."
"I think that's the best idea I've heard in a very long time. Let's get ready and we'll go."
A half hour later, Daniel and Sarah were sitting in a Chinese restaurant waiting to place their orders for dinner. They were both really enjoying themselves because this was a very rare moment for them to simply relax and forget about the world for a short time.
"Now, this is nice. We really should do this kind of thing more often." Daniel smiled.
"I know. This was a great idea you had. You know, Daniel, right now you seem more relaxed than I've seen you in weeks." Sarah agreed as they finished off their dinner.
"Yeah. You always seem to have a calming effect on me. It's just when I'm around you all my stress seems to disappear for a while."
Once they had arrived back home, Daniel and Sarah decided to watch a movie on television and simply relax. It had been a long time since they were able to spend time together like this so they intended to fully enjoy the opportunity.
Unfortunately for Daniel, the movie that they had decided on happened to be about a woman who fled with her young child to escape a relationship with an abusive husband. This subject was very touchy with Daniel because of his personal experience with it when he was younger. It was something that he didn't like talking about so he kept his emotions and distress inside where Sarah wouldn't see and inquire of it.
An hour later, the movie ended, much to Daniel's relief, and he and Sarah turned on the news for background noise but really, they were enjoying each other's company. Sarah was resting in Daniel's arms with her head on his shoulder.
"Are you all right? You seem a little quiet tonight and that's not really normal for you." Sarah asked.
"Yeah. I'm okay. It's just that I'm a little tired because it's been a while since I've had a quiet day and a chance to relax like this and it's probably just catching up with me." Daniel said tiredly, though he was only half telling the truth.
"Well, I have an idea. Why don't we go back and turn this on in the bedroom and go to bed so you can try and get some sleep."
"That's an idea. Let's do that and maybe we can both get some rest."
A short time later, they were ready for bed and Sarah turned the television on and then lay down beside Daniel and put her arms around him, letting his head rest on her shoulder.
"Feel better now?" Sarah whispered.
"Yeah, a little. I always feel better when I get to relax with you like this. Right now, though, the thing I need the most is to at least try to get some sleep." Daniel yawned, feeling extremely fatigued.
"I agree. Now close your eyes and try to relax."
At Sarah's urging, Daniel rested his head more heavily on her shoulder and closed his eyes. He just wanted to sleep and put the memories he was having out of his thoughts. Sarah put her arms around Daniel then and began gently running her fingers through his hair in a way that she knew never failed to soothe and relax him. It didn't take long for her to achieve her desired effect and soon Daniel's eyes became very heavy and the comforting pull of sleep tugged at him irresistibly. A few minutes later, Daniel felt his consciousness slip pleasantly away from him as his breathing evened out and he sank into a seemingly comfortable sleep.
