DISCLAIMER: Mine? Yeah. Right. And you're taking how many different drugs?

SUMMARY: Shey woke up and accepted Daniel's proposal. She had a nightmare that scared the hell out of Sam. Sam and Jack have decided that they need to be together.

SPOILERS: Up through 'Affinity'. Anything else that happens may or may not be addressed here.

Sam had been trying to get Shey to talk about the nightmare for three days now to no avail. It was frustrating. Shey wouldn't talk about it but everyone could tell that it had her upset. But everytime Sam brought up the topic Shey would just shake her head and walk away.
"Jack, she won't tell me anything. I just want to know what scared her so badly."

"And why it scares you so much in return. I know you, Sam. You hate it when there's something that you don't know or understand. And you don't understand how her fear bothers you so much."

Jack pulled Sam into his arms before he continued. "Besides, whatever it is, we'll take care of it. Both of you are safe and I intend to make sure that you stay that way.

"I trust you, Jack. I just wish I knew ..."

"I understand, Sam. Really I do."

At that moment, Jacob walked in. He'd been looking for Jack and Siler had told him that the general was in here. "Sorry, kids. I'm interrupting something."

"It's okay, Dad," Sam said, stepping away from Jack. "Something happened a few nights ago and it kind of shook me up.

"What?" Sam proceeded to tell her father about the incident at the campsite and the way Shey wouldn't talk about it.

Jacob bowed his head. "Samantha, your father and I both believe that you should remain close to the base for the next several days."

"I plan to, Selmak. Thank you for your concern."

"You are very important to your father. As you are to many others."

"I will be very careful. I promise."

"I know you will, Sammie," Jacob said, regaining control.

Pete had been watching the base for the past few days. "They can't keep her from me. She's mine. She accepted my ring. She's mine."

When he realized that Sam had no intentions of leaving the base anytime soon, he knew that he would have to lure her away from the others. 'But how? What would make her leave the base alone? Without that damn Jack with her?"

It was then that he saw Cassie leaving the base for class.

A/N: I know. I know. Short but at least it's a chapter. I'll try to get the next one up soon.
