"I don't see any reason to imprison Colonel Carter. Her actions were not a result of malice. She was merely defending herself. I think we can release her." The judge seemed understanding.
The officers nearby nodded and removed the cuffs from her wrists. Sam rubbed her wrists and smiled weakly at the judge. "Thank you, your honor."
She turned to Jack who had stood beside her during the entire hearing. "Can we go home now, Jack?"
"I think that would be a good idea." The two of them walked out of the courtroom. Jack had his arm around Sam's shoulders with her snuggled into his side.
Sam was stretched out on the couch in Jack's office, asleep. He stood in the doorway watching her. She had been asleep almost since they had returned from the courthouse. It was interesting to watch her sleep. She had one hand curled up under her head. The other was lying along her leg as she slept. She was on her side and facing the door.
He didn't want to leave her. He was afraid of her nightmares. Afraid that what she had done would haunt her sleep. But he also knew that he had a base to run. He turned to leave the office in order to find out if anything had happened in his absence.
Several hours later, Jack headed back to his office only to bump into Sam who was coming out of there. "Sleep well?"
"Like a log. I'm hungry. Think there's any dinner left in the commissary?"
"Complete with blue jello unless I miss my guess." Jack smiled. Things were slowly getting back to normal around the mountain.
A/N: Finished. The story started to peter out so I decided it was best to just end it there instead of trying to drag it out. Sorry for those who expected longer but that's how it goes. Stay tuned. I may be doing another one soon.
