Amends -Chapter 14-
SG-3 had been sent through to P4X-204 to help the people retain order, and to deal with the remaining Jaffa. Teal'c had managed to get most of them to join the rebellion, and he seemed very proud of that.
With Marin dead, Caineth had appointed an overwhelmingly surprised Alexis as his second. With his newly appointed second, Caineth's first order of business had been to free the women from the Lower Levels. This had thoroughly please Sam.
After just a few short days, the SG teams left the planet, as Caineth and Alexis had everything under control. There were still plans for a formal treaty between the two planets.
Jack's wound had been a little worse than expected. He'd suffered from blood loss, and had to have a minor blood transfusion. Janet had made him stay in the Infirmary for a few nights, much to his dismay. She had been worried that the wound would get infected. Unfortunately, that means she'd subjected herself to his incessant whining for several days.
Finally, his freedom came. Doctor Fraiser gave him a full bill of health. Janet swore he'd never dressed faster as he was out of the Infirmary within minutes.
Jacob had visited him just a few hours ago to say goodbye, which meant that there was a high probability that Samantha Carter was still on base.
He found her lab empty, but he had a feeling that he knew where to find her.
The lights were on in Daniel's lab when he got there. Sam was inside, surrounded by hundreds of cardboard boxes. She was placing items carefully into them.
As he watched, she picked up Daniel's glasses, and froze. She fingered them delicately, as if they'd crumble within her grasp.
Jack cleared his throat, and her eyes snapped to his.
"Colonel! Sorry, I didn't know anybody was there."
Jack ambled into the room, and looked around at the mass of boxes. "Whatchya doing?" Although, the answer was slightly obvious.
"Packing Daniel's belongings. Jonas needs an office, and this one isn't being used."
"What are you going to do with all of it?" Jack nudged one of the boxes with toe of his shoe.
"Put it into storage, just incase we need it." She looked uncomfortable as she stood there with the glasses still held delicately in her hands.
He stepped closer to her, and pulled the glasses from her hands. "You can keep some of this for yourself, you know? Daniel wouldn't mind."
She nodded as he handed them back to her. A balmy breeze suddenly whipped by them. It was oddly comforting, and strangely enough, Sam thought she heard Daniel voicing his agreement.
Without a word, Jack and Sam smiled at each other.
"So, Teal'c, Jonas and I are going out to dinner to celebrate my escape from the Infirmary." Jack grinned with a mischievous glint in his eye. "Would you like to join us?"
"Sure⦠Janet did release you, right?"
"Carter, would I sneak out of the Infirmary?"
Sam laughed and they made their way out of the room. "Do you really want me to answer that?"
They reached the doorway, and Sam walked into the hallway ahead of Jack. He turned to look back into the room as a small breeze ripped through his hair once again. He held a contempt smile as he turned off the light switch and the room plunged into darkness.
The End-
A/N: Aww... it's the end. :'( That's the longest story I've ever written! I know some of you wanted more S/J shippiness in it. Hopefully that last chapter was a little? With Jack and Sam, I always love those scenes where barely anything is vocalized, but so much is said in the looks, and their body language. I tried to do that a little in this one, it might not have worked.
I just want to thank everyone who made it this far, and for all of the reviews! You guys are great! Sorry if the end dissapoints, but I always had this last part in mind no matter where the story went. Once again thank you everyone!
