A/N: I'm not 100 happy with this chapter at the minute so it may be re-edited in the future; I would like feedback on it in particular please.

Daniel looked around at the guests who were beginning to get restless. He looked down at his watch and leaned over to Jack, 'She's late.'

Jack looked at his own watch and twisted towards the bride room, 'She's just nervous… wedding day jitters.'

'Or cold feet.' Daniel murmured.

'Hey guys,' Pete came over, 'Any sign of Sam coming out of there any time soon?'

Jack looked round again, 'Ah… I'll go check.'

He began to walk down the aisle when Jacob came up it; moving very fast Jack noticed. 'Jack, she's gone,' Jacob told him, 'I went to check on her and she's disappeared. I can't find her.'

'What?'

'What'll we do?'

Jack looked around, 'Ah, go tell Pete that she's running a little late; I'll find her.' He walked slowly out of the church ensuring that no one became suspicious, breaking into a sprint once he got into the hall. Hitting the gravel outside he scanned the car park to no avail. He pulled out his keys and hopped into his car, setting off towards her house.

He pulled up outside Sam's small house, noting that there was no car in the driveway. He decided to try anyway. He banged on the door with no answer and raced round to the back door, trying it.

A thought struck him; perhaps she had gone to the new house. Jumping back in the car, he sped to the cottage. Again, he found it empty. He sat in the car and tried to think of where she would go. 'Dammit Sam, where are you!' he hit the steering wheel with his hand.

'Ow…' he muttered as his cell rang, 'O'Neill.'

'General?' said the voice on the other end, 'this is Sergeant Siler, sir…'

'Yeah?'

'Sir, I think you need to get back here… now.'

'What's the problem?' Jack found Daniel and Teal'c already in the control room, looking out the glass at… a steel door.

'… the hell? Siler get that door up now.' he ordered.

'I can't sir,' the soldier told him, 'whoever opened the gate has locked us out. I don't even know where the gate is going to or coming from.'

'Only the Asgard has the necessary skills to complete such a task." Teal'c said.

'Or Sam…' Daniel commented. He cocked his head and looked round, 'Jack?'

'Where are you running to Sam?' Jack murmured, looking at the computer screen. 'Get control over our damn computers Siler,' Jack told him after a few seconds of silence, 'Daniel, Teal'c, my office?'

They followed him up the stairs and through the briefing room.

'Sam's disappeared.' he told them.

'We surmised as much when she did not appear at the church.' Teal'c replied.

'What's going on Jack?' Daniel sat in front of him, 'Did you talk to her?'

'No… I told you; that's-'

'a line we don't cross.' Daniel finished for him, 'I get it, but maybe she decided that maybe she wanted to cross that line.'

'Then why run?'

'Well, I can understand running out of the church…' Daniel started.

'Yeah, yeah, I get that but go through the Stargate?'

'Perhaps Major Carter needs some time to analyse this situation; perhaps she fears the consequences of action.' Teal'c supplied.

'Exactly; consequences,' Daniel looked up at Teal'c and then back down to Jack, 'When you were caught the time loop; you could do anything without having to worry about consequences.'

'Who says I did anything that involved Carter?'

'Please Jack, I know you,' Daniel replied, 'And I knew by the look you gave her at breakfast the next day. But my point is, you knew you wouldn't have to deal with the aftermath. You know what will happen if you admit your feelings for one another.'

'See that's where you're wrong, Danny Boy; we've all ready done that.'

'What? When?'

'When Alise used that lie detector thing on us. It's why it thought we were lying; because we didn't exactly tell the whole truth.'

'Okay, so you admitted them. But nobody outside that room knows…' Daniel told him, 'And alarm bells will ring with people when Sam tells Pete that she can't marry him. Acting on it is a little different than just admitting.'

'Look Daniel, Teal'c, as much as I love this little male bonding session we've got on here, I need to speak to a certain Tok'ra individual… or people… or something. So if you don't mind…' he pointed to the door.

Teal'c bowed his head and took leave. Daniel stopped in the doorway and turned back, 'Look Jack, I've kept this to myself for nearly four years but it's time I said something; you and Sam need to sort this out once and for all, whatever the consequences.'
