Disclaimer: Sadly I own nothing to do with SG-1, if I did then Sam and Jack would be married with lots of little Sam and Jack Jrs running around...

Colonel Jack O'Neill strolled down the corridor of the SGC, whistling to himself. He turned the corner and found himself in front of a familiar door. It was the third time this week he had turned up at that door. It was almost like his feet had a mind of their own, always leading him back to her. He raised his hand and knocked loudly on the door.

"Come in." a voice answered from inside. Jack reached for the handle and pushed open the door, he stepped across the threshold and leaned against the doorway,

"Hey Carter, whatcha doing?" he called out innocently.

From behind her latest technological discovery, the small blonde scientist looked up at her CO and gave him a warm smile,

"Well Sir, I'm trying to change the proton acceleration of the ion flow through the capacitor flux..."

Jack quickly held up a hand to silence her as she stifled a laugh,

"That's sound great Carter, really, but how about leaving this lab every now and again?" He walked towards the table, picked up some random gizmo lying on the desk and started fiddling with it. Carter stood up from her chair and walked over to him,

"Actually Sir," She said, taking the object away from him, "I happen to like the lab"

"You're on down time Carter, which means no more lab time, no shiny things and definitely no weird alien gadgets" he waved his hand around indicating to various instruments and machines littered about the lab. She gave him a small smile,

"What about you Sir? Shouldn't you be fishing in a fishless pond?"

"Firstly it's a lake Carter, and secondly there are fish in it... somewhere. Thus bringing me to the reasons of my visit"

"No, Sir."

"Aw, Come on, Carter... Danny and Teal'c are off world. It'll be just you, me, the fish and a couple of beers. What d'ya say?

Sam gave him an apologetic smile, "Sorry Sir, but I really need to get this report done..."

Jack pulled a face and started to argue is case when a voice called out over the speakers.

"Captain Carter to the Generals office. Repeat. Captain Carter to the Generals office."

Sam gave a small sigh and her head dropped, Jack gave her a grin,

"Looks like you're being hailed, Captain"

"I'll be right back." she said, walking out the door, "Just don't touch anything."

"That's 'Just don't touch anything' Sir." He called after her, watching her walk down the hall. Jack turned back into the room and purposely prodded something on her desk. It beeped loudly at him causing him to jump back a bit. Jack made his way around the desk and found himself in front of her laptop. Everyone on the base knew how much O'Neill hated computers and how much they hated him, but he couldn't resist a quick peek. He peered at the open document, some report on a new Naquadah source, and sighed. Surely Carter would have solitaire like a normal person? He clicked on the menu below and searched for the card game. He scrolled upwards and his eyes rested on an already open folder, Carters private mission reports. Jack knew he shouldn't but the childish curiosity in him prodded him onwards. He clicked on the first report and the window opened before him,

Mission Report MO1.01

I've just been given the most amazing opportunity of my life. The project which I have been working on for the last two years is finally becoming a reality. The Stargate. I've been transferred from the Pentagon to a unit called Stargate command, SGC. Dr Daniel Jackson, the man who discovered how to make the Stargate work, is alive and well and has been living on another planet for the last year, another planet. It's the kind of thing I've dreamt about since I was a kid. We have a briefing in half an hour. I should get ready...

This is it. I'm going through the Stargate. I've just had the briefing and met my new CO. Colonel Jack O'Neill,

Jack eyes lit up as he read his name,

I don't think he was expecting a woman. I get the feeling he was less than happy. And I don't think he likes scientists much. He doesn't seem the intellectual type,

'Excuse me?' Jack thought...

I'll show him, as the saying goes anything he can do...

The mission itself is to gate to a new world and assess a new alien threat that has emerged. Dr Jackson's wife has been taken by these new aliens so he's joining us. It all seems so surreal... God I hope I don't let the General down.

I still can't believe it... I've just travelled light-years across space. I had always hoped I'd get to space travel but I'd never imagined I'd be going across the other side of the known galaxy! It seem like Tulac, the world we just came back from, isn't the only world we can visit. The Stargate is a whole network of gates all over the galaxy. It's almost too amazing. Our journeys will be dangerous and I have no idea what to expect, which is partly why I am writing these personal mission reports. I have a feeling there will be times where I'll want to remember things that I can't write in official reports. I've never been one to write a diary, but I have the feeling this is one journey I won't want to forget.

Captain S. Carter

Jack mentally slapped himself. He was reading her diary, her private feelings, but still, he felt compelled to continue, not the intellectual type huh? Jack moved the mouse down and clicked on another file,

Mission Report MO1.04

That's it. I can't ever go back to work. I made a pass at my CO. Ok so it was under the influence of an alien virus, so I'm not getting court marshalled but I'm so embarrassed! I literally threw myself at him. Dr Frasier says it was a hormone imbalance that made me and the others revert to cavemen form and that I chose the colonel because he was a leader. That had to be it.

I think the Colonel might be warming to me. After the mission he asked if I was alright after being attack. At first it might have been genuine concern but then he made a crack about the tank top. I wonder if I should keep it...

Jack chuckled to himself. He remembered when she had approached him in the locker room, the look of lust on her face as she grabbed him, the feel of her lips against his. He longed to feel that again. Jack shifted uncomfortably in the chair and turned his focus back to the laptop and skim read a couple more files, picking out any sentence where his name stood out,

Mission Report MO1.17

The second gate has been found on earth. The Colonel and I were trapped under the ice. I thought we would never get out. The colonel kept making jokes. Telling me we were going to be fine. I wanted to believe him; I just couldn't see how we would get out of there. I tried to keep him warm by holding myself against him, and he held me. It was then I knew I wouldn't leave him. I couldn't leave him, even when he ordered me to. It was the first time he called me Sam. As it got colder he started to slip away from me, he even called me Sara...

Jack stopped reading... He had called her Sara? He barely remembered the events in the Antarctic. He remembered her laugh, well more of a giggle. She always laughed at his jokes, no matter how lame.

I wanted to cry. Partly because I thought this was the end and partly because I wish he had said my name.

Jacks heart skipped a beat. What did she mean by that? He quickly moved on to more reports...

More coming soon... Reviews always welcome!
