Drumming his fingers on the top of the table Major General George Hammond
grew irritated. 'First off, this morning Major Carter, in a totally
uncharacteristic display missed the debriefing this morning. And now in
the rescheduled debriefing not only is Major Carter still not here but
Colonel O'Neill and Doctor Jackson are also missing.'
Frustration creased his brow as General Hammond looked over at the only prompt member of Sg - 1, Teal'C "Teal'C do you have any idea where your teammates can be?"
Raising an eyebrow in his direction the former First Prime responded, "Indeed I do not GeneralHammond."
"Well at least I know they're all on the base this time."
Nodding his head Teal'C replies "that is a fact GeneralHammond."
Blowing out a breath General Hammond mutters, "there had better be a good explanation for all this."
Bursting into the briefing room Daniel Jackson pants heavily as he drops into his seat getting his notes into some semblance of order pausing only to push up his glasses. "I'm sorry General I was involved with translating those tablets Sg - 7 brought back and lost track of time," his explanation stops as he finally looks about and sees Jack and Sam are not here yet. "Hey? Where's Jack and Sam?"
Exasperated himself General Hammond replies "that seems to be the question of the day."

Chapter Three
Feelings
*************************
Shooting into the room Colonel Jack O'Neill pauses to salute Hammond before taking his seat, "sorry sir, was in my office trying to get ahead on my paperwork."
Incredulousness is the word at hearing this statement, "What!" asks Jack defensively "I was."
The only reply to this is Teal'C raising an eyebrow.
Clearing his throat General Hammond ignored his claim and asked, "Colonel have you seen Major Carter?"
"Yes sir, she stopped in my office to remind me of this meeting in fact, she had to get her notes from her lab but she should be here any minute."
Sighing while looking at his watch the older man replied, "Well if she isn't here in the next ten minutes well have to postpone again I have a teleconference the Joint Chiefs."
Looking at the door he continued, "I believe I'll have to have a meeting with Major Carter about this."
Daniel though worried for what ever was wrong with Sam was looking at Jack. And while Jack usually didn't pay much attention in meetings he was even more distracted than usual. And he wasn't fiddling with something or doodling on something he was just staring into space with an almost worried look.
"Jack," Daniel asked "JACK!" the archeologist said louder getting his attention. "You okay?"
Looking over at his friend the Colonel clears his face to a more natural expression and smiles "oh yeah I cool, just peachy, why you askin?"
Suddenly nervous as everyone looking at him Daniel Squirms a bit in his seat "um, no reason, I uh . . . just thought you looked upset about something."
Then in a casual tone, in fact so casual that it raises a few flags, Jack came back with "Ah? No, not really. Just wanting to get this meeting over with, ya know."
"Uh yeah I guess," then coughing Daniel looks over to the door changing the subject, "wonder what's taking Sam so long."
Looking over to the door himself Jack's face falls into a contemplative frown he gets when he worries about one of his people, "don't know."
*************************
After Daniels little question Jack controls his facial expressions better but inside his thoughts are in turmoil. 'A kid, me and Sam, having a kid. Geeze this is unreal, what do we do though.'
'I mean we're 'post ta report this and George would probly understand but still somebody like Kinsey would use this to ground the whole program into the ground.' Realizing the importance of their actions Jack resolved to make sure to do his best to protect not only Sam but also all of his people.
Nodding to himself for at least deciding something Jack O'Neill looks to the door again wondering what's taking Sam so long, and hoping she is okay.
*************************
Franticly grabbing her notes on yesterdays rescue Major Samantha Carter looks around her lab for anything she may be missing when her eyes fall on the chest in the corner.
Meeting forgotten for the moment as she thinks of the contents of the chest, she then absent-mindedly walked around the lab bench and over to the footlocker. Running her hand along the box that has set unopened since her return from her time as 'Thera' she opens it. Reaching into the box she grabbed the worn brown cloth she wore there and lifting it to her nose she smells it while clutching it tightly to her chest with her eyes closed.
'What do I do,' she thinks 'do I tell the General or wait. No jacks right wait till we know for sure.' Then wiping her eyes clear of the threatening tears she places the clothing back in the chest before closing it.
Mind a million miles away she thought of the coming days and weeks, 'my career is over, Kinsey or his ilk will see that. Jacks will be over to. Unless we can think of something . . .'
'How can I be a mother, I'm not even a good aunt, I . . . feel so . . . lost.' She reflected as the tears spilled over her checks.
"I just don't know what to do," she mutters to herself standing in her darkened lab arms rapped around herself to bring comfort to her burdened heart.
*************************
Finally just as General Hammond is about to cancel the debriefing once again Sam Carter rushes into the room. As General Hammond is about to give her a dressing down for her being late once again he saw that she had obviously been crying.
"I'm Sorry sir I had to go to my lab to get my notes, I apologize for being late," Major Carter says while saluting before taking her own seat.
"Yes thank you Major, but are you all right?"
Looking kind of like a deer in the headlights she pauses slightly before nodding "yes sir, I'm okay thank you."
"Are you sure your okay Sam?"
"You do appear distressed MajorCarter," Both Daniel and Teal'C comment.
"I'M FINE," she barks out before blushing at them all looking at her confused by her behavior. "I'm sorry, yes I'm fine, I just have a lot on my mind."
Then looking at the General she asked him they could just begin the debriefing. And with a sigh he nodded "very well Major, I have a call with the joint chiefs soon anyway. Lets begin then."
And with a wave of his hand "Teal'C if you'll go begin then."

Chapter Four: suspicion

End Notes:
Well not quite all the debriefing, I had to rewrite this because it just wasn't working right. Sorry it took so long.
I love all the reviews it makes me want to write more for you guys, so thank you for all the encouragement.
Also dietcokechic thank you for the comments ill try harder to improve my grammar but that has always been a shortcoming of mine. Thanks though.
If anyone has any ideas about things they would like to see please let me know I'm open to most ideas people would like to incorporate.
Another question, this one about the tone. Does anyone like how things are going, are things to dark or not dark enough. Or am I flopping back and forth too much? Anyway I was wondering how you guys feel about that. I haven't cared for how the last 2 chapters have turned out. Is it okay with you guys?
Thank you for all the Reviews and encouragements.
Later,
