Author: Odiceron
Dislcaimer: I don't own a god damn thing; if I did things would have turned out a lot differently.
Spoilers: 713 Grace
Pairings: J/S
Summary: Missing scene from Grace. In the locker Room, Teal'c looks like he is about to say something else, what could that have been?
Author Notes: This hasn't been given to beta, just straight posted so expect mistakes.
"Look T, I know what you're trying to do… and I appreciate it…"
"I have watched both you and Major Carter fight many battles; one of the hardest battles I have watched you both fight is against each other"
"T…" Jack tries to cut him off before he can continue but the Jaffa continues.
"You and Major Carter have spent many years by each other side have you not?"
"Yes but…"
"Have you not both learnt to respect each other on and off the battlefield?"
"Yeah that to but…"
"Do you trust each other?"
"T you know we do" Jack answers are picking up pace, he answers as soon as he hears the question
"Then why do you persist in hiding your feelings from her?"
"I can't" it comes out as a mutter Jacks expression not changing
"I have yet to find something you cannot do O'Neill" said in a matter of fact tone
"There are rules"
"I have seen you disobey orders on many occasions" His voice filled with determination
"Daniel put you up to this?" Jack trying to change the subject even slightly
"Daniel Jackson has not asked me this of me, however; he too has noticed yours and Major Carter's feelings and has himself expressed a similar level of frustration by your actions"
"T, I appreciate this I really do, but she doesn't feel the same. You saw how she reacted to Marty dying" Jacks armour cracks and he shows Teal'c a side to him few people ever see.
"Moments before she was expressing her feelings for you"
"Yeah but that was only because of that god damn Tok'ra test" curses being muttered under his breathe, vague words like Wench and Snake head coming through.
"I have no doubt that neither of you would have ever expressed it if you had not been placed in the situation you were. Now since that event has passed would it not be prudent to use that to achieve something for both you and Major Carter"
"T, it's not that simple"
"Matters of the heart never are, I want you to know myself and Daniel Jackson will support your decision"
"Thanks T"
Teal'c bows his head and departs the locker room leaving Jack to his own thoughts
"Damn Tok'ra" Jack mutters as he throws his jacket to the bottom of his locker.
