The Infirmary

Sam woke to Jen the new CMO at the SGC sitting next to her. Sam didn't like Jen when she first started heading the infirmary but that was because she kept comparing her to Janet. Jen tried to be friends with Sam, since they were both "leading ladies" here at the SGC she thought she could confide in Sam. It took a while for the two to become friends, but it happened one day. Jen ran into Sam on night as they were both leaving, Jen because she almost passed out on a marine from SG-3 and Sam after being ordered off the base by O'Neill. Sam asked if she wanted to go get some coffee and something quick to eat and Jen accepted. They ended up talking at a diner for a couple of hours. They both liked the same things, and they both were hardcore work-a-holics. Sam helped her understand how much Janet was loved at the SGC and that's why some people haven't really opened up to her yet, especially O'Neill, who pretty much takes a long time to let anyone close to him. At hearing the mention of the General Jen brought up the grapevine gossip about her and General O'Neill and Sam answered with her normal "We're friends who have been working together for a while, of course we're going to care about each other." Although Jen could see right through that she let it go for that night.

They got together more and more and they finally became sort of best friends and finally one drunken night Sam told Jen all about her and O'Neill's relationship, a lot more then she had told anyone else. Jen listened and put her two cents in and just helped Sam through the anger and frustration of the whole situation. Jen told about her fathers drinking problems and her mothers cancer and that's what drove her into the field of medicine. Sam helped her get through her break up with her steady boyfriend Jason a couple months after that first drunken night and created another drunken night. Every weekend that they could they got together and it always included at least one drunken night because they could be free with each other and they knew the other would be there in the morning to help them through the hangover.

But Jen never let their friendship get in the way of Sam's treatment in the infirmary. She was strict and didn't let Sam get away with the "I'll go to bed as soon as I get back to my office" routine and made sure the General knew when she was not taking care of herself.

So when she told Sam this her voice was light and caring, letting her know that right now she was talking to her as a friend. "Sam, you need to tell me what happened."

"Nothing happened. I fell a couple times on the mission."

"Sam, none of these bruises were obvious during your post-mission physical."

"Look, Jen you're a doctor, you know bruises take a while to actually show up."

"But as your doctor you need to tell me exactly how you got them."

"I told you Doctor, I fell. And as to why I fainted, I haven't been sleeping well and I just sat up too fast. Now can I go, because the last time I checked you can't hold a patient due to some bruises." She spat out at her friend.

"No I cant, but I will have to report this to the General, but maybe you should tell him, he did seem a little shaken up when he brought you in here."

"Yeah I guess you're right. And Jen I'm sorry about being such a bitch, you know how I get when I'm not sleeping well."

"Yeah, about that, I'm going to prescribe you some sleeping pills. Hold on a second I'll be right back with the prescription." And with that Jen walked into her office. A little while after Sam saw O'Neill poke his head through the infirmary doors.

"Over here, Sir."

"Ah, Carter," he walked casually over to her bed, hands stuffed in pockets, "How's it going? I've been waiting for you to wake up. Dr. Jen told me she would get me when that happened!" he shouted to Jen's open office door where she could be seen shaking her head at him. She hates but loves when he calls her Dr. Jen, hates because either call someone by their name or their salutation not a mixture of the both, and loves because it shows that he was finally letting her become more to him then just his doctor.

Sam had invited her to a couple of the team nights they held. The guys were not really open about it at first but then when the booze was added the mix they opened up to her and they realized she was actually a pretty cool person. The next team night they actually held at her house after she promised O'Neill he could barbeque and she did have a "sufficient" enough grill for him.

"You know General, I could get a lot of more work done here if you would listen to me instead of checking in every ten minutes." She said back as she came out with the prescription. She handed it to Sam.

"Well Doc, it was more like thirty but whatever you say. Whatcha got there Carter?" he said as he snatched the piece of paper away from her. "Sleeping pills, eh? Could have just asked me I got loads left over from the last infirmary visit I had." He said handing back the paper.

"General are you talking about that prescription I gave you after you after the lockdown escapade with Anubis? The ones that should have been finished a month ago?" she asked in a way that made him, the commander of this base, want to go sit in a corner and cower.

"No, not those, the other ones." He tried to explain. She just shook her head and turned her attention back to Sam.

"Now Sam, take the recommended dose every night around 2000 hours. I'll have the General bring you back in tomorrow around 0800."

"Sir?" she questioned.

"Oh, I guess good old Doc here forgot to mention, since Danny boy's apartment is being renovated you're staying with me tonight. Just to be on the safe side. I just sort of assumed you would feel better being out of the infirmary, no offense." He shrugged to Jen.

"No that's okay Sir, I was just taken by surprise. I just have to get changed and get some things from my office and I guess I'll meet you at your house at…"

"No driving for you Sam, you should know that by now, I'll help you get stuff from your office. General meet us topside in about, what 20 minutes?" she looked at Sam.

"Sounds good to me Sir." She affirmed.

"Alrighty then, I'll see you lovely ladies in a bit." And with that he turned on his heels and walked, with a bit a little bounce in his step, out of the infirmary and Sam turned to Jen.

"You are such a bitch." She accused.

"What?" she feigned ignorance.

"I can drive just fine, you just want the General to get a chance to question me." She said as she hopped down off the bed and started putting on her jeans, the doctor placed on the chair next to her bed.

"Why, whatever do you mean?" she said with an accent.

"Once again I refer to my previous statement, you bitch." They laughed.

"Alright you ready to go to your office." Jen asked when Sam finished dressing.

"Yeah lets go."

And with that they walked out of the infirmary to Sam's lab. Sam gathered her purse and her jacket, when she went to her labtop she found a note scrawled in familiar handwriting

'Sorry Carter, not allowed to bring this to my home, as it is against my religion. If I see its not here in the morning or see its at my house I will have to confiscate it for a short period of time. That is an order Colonel, one I am completely serious about. Now tell Doc for you two to hurry your pretty little asses up here, its cold

- The Big G.'

She chuckled at how he could make her laugh with probably not even trying. But then she caught something else, 'he thinks my ass is cute huh?' she smiled to herself.

"What are you smiling about Sam?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing, riiiiight. Whatever you almost ready?"

She thought about trying to smuggle her labtop into her bags, but she quickly dismissed it, 'if I don't take it I will have to find something else to occupy my time with' she thought as her mind was suddenly filled with images that she quickly shoved to the back of her mind. Leaving her labtop she said "Yeah I have everything, lets go topside."

They walked to the Generals assigned parking spot near the entrance and found him sitting on the hood of his truck, about four feet off of the ground.

"Alright Big G. how about helping the Doc here with my bag."

"No problem Carter. Doc?" he asked while going to grab the bag she was carrying.

"Here General, and please remember don't let her do any work, or do any talking about work. I want her well rested on Monday when I when I see her, now…"

"Monday!" Sam gasped, she thought it was just for one night. "I swear you said one night, and that you were going to check on me tomorrow?" she questioned.

"Carter calm down that was just to get you out of the infirmary cause they have cleaning to do, and your condition is fine, and all you need is some R & R. So we just thought we would tell you that."

"Sir that was completely unnecessary, I would have agreed anyway if you would have just informed me about the cleaning going on."

"I know Carter but its fun for me to watch you squirm." He regretted his choice of words as soon as they left his mouth. "I mean you just looked so," he paused trying to find the right word, he seriously thought 'cute' wasn't a good thing to put in there, "funny all flustered and confused. Don't worry were going to stop by your house tomorrow to pick up things for the rest of the week. Look Carter its Tuesday, you'll only be at my house for," he paused and started counting on his fingers.

"Six days, General." Jen helped.

"Thanks Doc. See six days isn't so bad. Now lets get this show on the road." He said while opening the passenger side door to his cab and shoving the bag he was holding into the back then taking the bag Sam was carrying and shoving it back there with it.

"Sir what if I had something fragile in there." She said exasperated.

"That would mean that, A you brought your labtop which I specifically told you not to, B you brought a piece of work home which was just told to me was also something you should not bring to my home or C it was something that if I broke it I'm feel really bad and I'll buy you a new one." He smiled, as he went to his side of the truck and stepped up, "See you later Doc. I'll call you if we have any problems." He said as he got into the cab of the truck and shut his door.

"You better Sir." Jen shouted through Sam's still opened door.

He leaned over leaning his elbow onto the seat and shouted "Now Carter." And with that she said goodbye to Jen and climbed into his truck, shut the door and then they were off.
