Janet

As the CMO of the SGC, I have seen everything. And I do mean everything! My favorite group of people? Sadly hands down are the four crazy people of SG-1 – can't help it.

Jack is the strong leader, and is the main reason they stay together and alive. He may rub them all the wrong way at times, but he is the glue that makes them stay.

Teal'c is the bronze, imposing force. His big stance, and silence are daunting. I must admit when I first met him, I wondered why I was transferring to the facility.

Sam – the only girl and sometimes sane one – has to put up with being the girl who everyone wants to protect. She is the blend of soldier and brainy beauty. She can kick anyone's butt, and be able to eloquently tell you the wonders of the stars.

And Daniel – the wide-eyed scholar who has grown up so much. He has had to watch so much happen during his tenure here. Jack and Teal'c have helped develop his soldier side, while Sam feeds his intellectual side. And I must admit he is very, very easy on the eyes.

The ways they are so different and same is the wonder that makes SG-1 a force to be reckoned with – just ask all the dead Gou'ald's out there! They have also gotten into so much stuff that I was not surprised when Daniel came practically screaming to me yesterday about some infection he and Jack had.

And when Sam came in later to ask if anything was unusual about their blood samples or tests, I knew it was not just paranoia. I mean when Colonel O'Neill comes under his own will into my office, there has to be something wrong.

A small knock made me look up from the papers of SG-1's tests, and tell the person knocking, to come in.

"Janet?" Sam asked as she poked her head around the door.

"Come in, Sam. You look better."

She blushed slightly and ducked her head as she sat in the chair opposite mine. "Well, a meal or two will do that. However I need to talk to you in a friend capacity, not as my doctor."

I pushed the files closed and swept them into the file drawer behind me. Locking the drawer, and dropping the key into a glass jar Cassie had given me, I settle back into the chair. "Shall we grab a coke and coffee?"

Her eyes light up and we once more move out of my office, and down the hall to the elevator. She sighed as the doors slid close and stood with her back on the wall. I slipped momentarily into the "Doctor mode", but forced it aside, and concentrated on my friend.

"I have to face them, Janet," she said quietly as we walked out of the elevator and onto Level 22. I let her go on her own pace, giving her space to expound, as she felt comfortable. "They are around me… I am always bumping into one. Thankfully Teal'c helped by talking to them both; he has not told me what he thinks. I am worried that all this," she spread her hands and clenched the as she brought them back to her body. "Is merely Hi'ed induced, and not me at all. But then I should not be worried…."

I gaze at her as she dumps sugar into the cup. "Want some coffee with that?"

She laughs – a good sign – but quickly drops her head into her hands. "Oh what am I going to do? I think I am in love with Jack – Colonel O'Neill – but also Daniel. What is wrong?"

"Well if you all moved to Utah…"

Once more the lovely smile graced her lips. "Yes, that will solve all my problems, Janet. Thanks."

"Good to see your sense of humor is not gone. And your sarcastic wit is still sharp. What is it that you are worried about?"

"That my feelings are real; that they are not. It is confusing. Inside I know I should have this figured out. But still it is still there. One side is all about the Colonel, and the other is Daniel. If this is all part of the infection… God help the Hi'ed if this is all just a side effect."

"Imagine what the boys feel. I keep seeing them practically growl at each other whenever they are in the same room. My nurses are keeping me apprised of the situation. They are the reason we have such a good grapevine I'm afraid. One cut and it is a gash, a little stitch and the whole leg had to be sown. They are bad, however they see much of what is going on and with SG-1 is involved – the grapevine is buzzing."

"Whoopee. So glad to know. How am I going to figure this out when every move is seen? I mean all this is here," she tapped her head. "But it is felt here," she indicated her heart. "It is so confusing. I mean, I'm a soldier, a trained member of the military. I don't usually go around drooling for my teammates. I forget I am a woman and have feelings sometimes."

"Well Sam, you are very much a woman. And about the drooling… I hate to break it but you have been doing a bit." She scrutinizes my words and was about to rebut my words when I stopped her with my hand. "It is not exactly a secret that Colonel O'Neill has made it clear that he has feelings he should not for you. It is evident in the way he looks at you that he is finally waking up and seeing how beautiful you are." She blushes a deep red.

"Sam, you know the rules, and I know that you are responsible. The Colonel is good looking, and has a way about him that make him strangely irresistible but he is also your CO, and a tad older then you."

"He is not my father, Janet. But ya I know. He does have a way about him. I guess even when he gets under your skin, it is endearing. It's just annoying. Ok. Next, Daniel."

"He is very, very popular with the nurses. Did you know they are on a rotation just to care for him? They are so enamored by his, and I quote 'Blue eyes and beauty of the Gods'. Plus they are in four teams rotating whenever he visits the infirmary. I find it amusing.

"Daniel is brilliant, and can carry a conversation on to interesting topics and into directions that you would never connect. I have had the most interesting conversations on ancient medicine and the way it played a part in social society… makes me wish I were on your team. On to the topic. You are his favorite person to visit him, his vitals improve when you visit… it's like he feeds off you and helps to heal him." I watched as Sam stared into her cup of sugar coffee. She slowly raised her head, and I saw tears in her eyes.

"He is my favorite one to chase the blues away. He is always there to through back intellectual quests, and there to help with the journey. He will pull you to stand on your feet, and fight for what you believe. He always has kind words and a smooth touch. God when I thought he is dead… I don't know what to do. I wish I could die too. I mean the Colonel – he is the strong military. Daniel is the compassion and humanity that lives along side the military. They are both halves of me."

"But which one is the one that is suppose to be your intended long term relationship? Or as the Hi'ed say, 'climb the Mount of Fealty and be consumed'?" I asked gently as we both lapsed into silence.
