"Oh Sam hunny, what have you done" The small framed doctor shuffled past the bleeping machine to perch herself on the bed next to Carter who was sitting cross legged on the bed, eyes red and streaming. Placing her arm round her she pulled Sam into her chest.

"I was so stupid" Carter sobbed

"I know, I saw him"

"Its not fair"

"I know Sam, but life isn't fair. You just have to re-climb the hill that you were perched on before"

"Hill?"

"Its Metaphorical hunny"

"Figured as much" she said sniffling into Dr Frasier's now wet shoulder.

"Now, have you taken your med?"

"Yeah"

"Sam?"

"No but I don't need them Janet, I'm fine, only a few bruises and a headache."

"Im not sure"

"Trust me Janet"

"Ok, I trust you" Janet smiled as she slipped of the starched sheets of the bed.

"Thanks" Sam whispered as she pulled the sheets back around her

"Sleep." Janet ordered

Sam closed her eyes and lent her head back onto the wet pillow. Sitting back up, she turned her pillow round so the cold side was under her pale face.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Jack"

"Yeah Danny?" jack replied, running his fingers through his short silver tinted hair.

"You k?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine Daniel just fine" Jack muttered as he walked half-heartedly through the cafeteria.

Daniel turned back to Teal'c "He's not ok, is he?"

"I do not believe so Daniel Jackson"

* * * * * * * * * * * * Three days and a lot of meds later, collecting her last few items from the infirmary, Sam walked back across the room to where Janet was attending someone from sg-11 who had just returned from a hostile planet with a rather large stone aged arrow in his butt.

"Ow" Sam shuddered as she walked past. "Good luck" she said dipping to talk to the patient.

"Remember your Meds" Janet scolded as Sam walked past.

"Yes Mom" Carter rolled her eyes as she left the infirmary. As the door shut behind her she breathed out an outsized sigh of relief.

"Happy to Leave?" The light voice asked behind her.

"Dad" Sam turned round to see Jacob standing behind her with outstretched arms.

"Sam" Sam walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Why are you here?"

"I got a phone call"

"I told Janet"

"it wasn't Janet"

"Who" Sam asked, a puzzled expression on her face.

"It was"

"Jack" Sam nodded as she said his name. She knew it would be as soon as she saw her father had turned up.

"Yeah. He phoned me. He was worried. Then when I arrived here, he was, well, gone"

"Gone"

"Yeah. Fishing"

"Figures. He must have had thinking to do" Sam smiled, as she thought about Jack alone up in the mountains alone in his little wooden cabin

"He told Teal'c he would be back tonight in time for the next mission in three days"

"Next mission?"

"Yeah, you have the debriefing after lunch"

"Dad"

"Yeah,"

"Why do you know more about what is going on here than I do?"

"Because I am your father, and it's my job. Now go and have lunch. Then meet the general in his office. He needs to talk"

"Dad"

"Yeah Sam"

"Never mind" Sam turned round and retreated down the corridor to have lunch.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"You wanted to see me?"

"Ahh Major Carter. Come in" Hammond swept a pile of papers over to one side and clasped his hands in front of him.

"Yes Sir. This is about the next mission I take it" Sam walked over to his desk, sitting down in front on one of the hard backed chairs. Hard, yet strangely enough softer than the beds in the infirmary.

"Well yes, but how are you feeling?" The general asked.

"Better. Thank you" Sam replied in the same tone she replied to Jack in.

"About the next mission" She said again

"Yes. No-where difficult. Just a regular."

"So its another one of Daniel's ideas then"

"Im not going to lie to you major. Yes it is"

"Sir I" "I know, but you are better, and we really need you on this one Major"

"Count on me Sir"

"I always have Major" Hammond Replied

Sam slipped up and out of the hair and shut the door to the general's office slowly whilst breathing out.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

It was too much. She couldn't take it anymore. She cracked open the plastic bottle of medication and shook out a handful of the red capsules. The headache was getting to strong. Even for the strong headed Major Carter. In the beginning she had been determined to beat the pain, but now, after two days it had become to much.

As the plastic capped pills slid down her throat, a loud knock on the door echoed through her room.

"Sam" Daniel peered into the room through the half opened door

"Hey Daniel" Sam put on a smile

"Were leaving now" Daniel called.

"I'll just grab my bag" Sam replied

"K" Daniel turned round and walked down the hallway.

Sam walked over to the chair picking up her bag and coat she left her room.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Sir" Sam nodded as she climbed up into the colonel's jeep.

"Sam, we are off base now. Its Jack"

"Ok Sir" She shimmied over the seat so she was pinned into the jeep with the door on one side and Teal'c.

"The bar it is." Jack said as

"Which one?" Sam asked.

"I was thinking maybe the Red Snake" Daniel

"Red Snake sounds good" Sam said as she propped her head up with her elbow

"Yeah, but at this moment, anything strong sounds good to me" jack said as he started the car.

They all nodded except Teal'c who carried on staring out the window.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Sam stood up from the table. Her head hurt, and the ridiculous amount of alcohol she had consumed had not subsided her headache as she thought.

Walking into the ladies she shut the cubical door and lent back against the wall.

"Arghhh" she curled her fists into tight balls to try and suppress the pounding in her head.

Giving up she walked straight from the small womans toilets and back over to the table where Daniel was trying to say the alphabet to the back of Teal'c's head and Teal'c was talking to the man beside jack about something a trivial as why the brand of beer he had been drinking tasted slightly menthol.

Sam walked back to the table, but instead of sitting next to teal'c where she originally was. She sat straight in the lap of her CO, much to jack surprise.

"Carter?" He asked her suspiciously. Raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Colonel, sir" she smiled.

"What are you doing?"

"To tell you the truth, I am not sure" she replied, falling of his lap onto the floor between his feet and the table leg.

"Carter, the floor is no place for a lady, even one as masculine as you."

Much to his surprise, she didn't retort, or snap, she laughed. Ok, he thought, She is really, really off her blonde head.

"Up you come" He stood up and held out his hand. She took it and with a surprising force, pulled him down on top of herself.

"Sir"

"Carter" He eyed her suspiciously. But didn't move

"Sir"

"Carter, lets get a taxi"

"Kinky" Sam replied, almost in giggles.

"Suppose" Jack shrugged as he knelt up trying to pull her to her feet.

"Danny, Teal'c, I will send a taxi"

"Good by O'Neill" Teal'c said,

"A b c d e f g erm, what, oh bye Dad" Daniel called.

Jack smiled and managed to pull Carter to her feet.

"Taxi it is then"
