Chapter 2: When the Dreamy Haze Disappears and Reality Rears Its Ugly Head
"Wait a minute. You dream about me? About us?" Jack asked, a thoughtful expression coming over his face.
"Yes, Colonel." she replied.
"Since when?" Jack questioned.
"Is that really relevant?" Sam answered, deciding that she was sorry that she had said anything. Well, that's just great. I just told my CO that I dream about him. About a life with him. About a life with him AND a daughter. I've gotta stop getting myself into these messes.
"Well...I guess not. It is sort of flattering, though." Jack said, grinning.
Damn it. This is going to make things even more awkward than they were before. Why? Why did I just do that? Oh probably because it seemed like a good idea at the time. You know, maybe it would spur us into actually discussing these feelings that we have for each other, instead of hiding behind the stupid rules. Oh, how could I have been so stupid? This is neither the time nor the place. Sam mused.
"Uh, Carter?" Jack asked, noticing Sam's blank expression.
"Colonel? Could we just talk about this at another time? I'd really like to go back to sleep." Sam replied.
"Uh...sure. Whatever you want." Jack said, a slightly hurt expression washing over his face, wondering why Sam was suddenly so morose about the whole thing. Just a few minutes ago, she'd been giggling about it.
Sam rolled over and shut her eyes. You know, you can't just hide from this forever. You've already opened a great big can of worms by explaining your dream. At some point, the two of you will actually have to sit down and discuss your feelings. a niggling little voice in the back of her mind told her. And judging by that expression on his face, you've probably hurt him. He probably thinks that you're revolted by the idea of the two of you together, having a daughter.
Little did Sam know that about a foot away from her, Jack was having a very similar internal debate. Maybe I shouldn't have responded the way I did. Maybe I shouldn't have sounded nearly so thrilled about the fact that she dreams about us. Well, that's sure to make things awkward. More so than they already are, anyway. We really should talk about this. Oh, and what are you going to say to her? "Carter, even though I'm your CO, and this is all completely wrong, I have wildly inappropriate feelings for you. I've been madly in love with you since the day we met, and grow more in love with you every day. Run away with me."? Oh yes, I'm sure that will go over really well.
The internal debate continued until Jack fell asleep. As he was lulled into dreamland, he saw a smiling face appear in his field of vision. As the person moved away, he noticed that the face belonged to a young girl, with long, curly, sandy-brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. She held out her hand towards Jack and giggled.

Season: Hmm...let's just say 5.
Spoilers: None that I can think of.
A/N: Yay! Chapter 2 is finally up! Sorry it took so long, guys, but unfortunately life has been very busy for the past 2 weeks. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the last. If there are any glaring errors, or anything that seems completely off, just blame it on the fact that I have a really bad cold, and my head and throat are killing me. Oh, and I apologize for the relative shortness of this chapter. Next one will be longer, I promise.
