Daniel, Jack, and Teal'c were sitting in the briefing room with General Hammond.
"Sir, when can we tell Carter everything? I know you said we shouldn't, but we are all going nuts having to keep lying to her."
"Colonel, I know you all want to tell her everything, so we can have Major Carter back, but I don't feel it's the best course of action right now. Doctor Frasier believes that letting her try and remember herself is the best course of action, and I agree."
"But sir," Daniel interjected, "when I lost my memory, the first thing you all did was try and get me back, telling me all kinds of things; classified things even."
"Doctor Jackson, that was a different case. You were already off world, and fully aware of the stargate. Major Carter is on Earth, and has no knowledge of it whatsoever. I can't let any of you tell her classified information until we know more about her situation. I'm sorry to say it, but we may not be able to help her, and if that's the case, she won't be able to stay on at the SGC," he finished.
Teal'c, who was quiet during all of this, finally spoke up. "Perhaps we should be doing more to find out what has happened to Major Carter," he suggested. "If we find out the cause of her memory loss, we may find a way to reverse it."
"Teal'c, that's a great idea," Jack said. "General, I say we go to-"
Before he could finish his suggestion, Hammond interrupted. "I already thought of that, Colonel. SG-9 is already prepping to go there now. They leave in 30 minutes."
"Thank you sir."
"If there's nothing else, SG-1, dismissed," he said, rising.
"Thank you sir," they all said, standing.
After General Hammond went into his office, Jack turned to his teammates. "I'm headed over to see Carter, you coming?"
"I was just thinking that, Jack. I'm in. Teal'c?"
"I will join you as well, O'Neill."
"Great. Let's go."
A minute later, they were all in the infirmary, surrounding Sam's bed. After several questions of her status today, they all sat.
"Thanks guys. I'm feeling okay today, just tired. I'm still having the weird dreams," she explained.
"Is anything of relevance coming back to you, Major Carter?"
"Nothing yet, Teal'c. I wish I could remember something, anything at all about myself. It's just so damn frustrating having no idea who I am, or not remembering what are obviously such good friends."
"Has Doc Frasier gotten anything back on your tests yet?" Jack asked. "I bet she will have you cured and back to normal in no time at all."
"Thanks Jack. I really hope so.
"So, is there anything you all can tell me about myself, anything at all?" Sam asked, eager to learn about herself.
"Well, you already know we can't tell you anything major at all. Doctor Frasier was quite clear about that," Jack reminded her.
"I know, I know. Really. I just want to know who I am; what kind of person I am. Cant any of you tell me even little things like that?" she questioned.
They all exchanged a look, and then Teal'c answered. "Doctor Frasier did not say we could not tell you these things."
"That's right," Daniel agreed. "I don't see any harm in that."
"Me either," Jack said.
"Great," Sam said, excited. "Tell me everything."
"That could take awhile," Jack said, laughing. "We better sit down." They all pulled up chairs and sat down by her bedside.
"Where should we start," Daniel asked, looking to the other two.
"I don't care. Just tell me everything you can. I want to know it all," she said, happy they agreed to tell her anything.
"Well, to answer your first question, you are a wonderful person," Daniel started. "Always concerned for others and full of compassion."
"What else?"
"You're real smart," Jack added. "A scientist. And you should know I don't like scientists, so that should tell you something."
Sam laughed, "Thanks, I think."
"You are indeed a very good person, Major Carter. Since I have known you, you have always been sincere in your actions."
"Thanks, all of you. You have all been so nice to me. I wish I could remember you," she said, saddened again.
"Hey, none of that." Jack ordered. "You're gonna get your memory back. I promise. We are going to do everything we can to help you. Doc Frasier is the best there is. If she's on it, you'll be good as new in no time."
"Thanks," she said again, forcing a smile.
Just then, Janet walked in. "Are we having a little party in here," she asked. "You boys aren't bothering my patient are you," she joked.
"Just visiting," Daniel said.
"Just don't stay too long," she warned. "I want Sam to get plenty of rest. Got it?"
"Yes doctor," they all said in unison.
"Can they stay just a bit longer," Sam asked.
"Ok, but not too much. I want you to get lots of rest. I have a few more tests I want to run in the morning."
"Alright."
They all stayed and talked with her a bit longer, just chatting about little things they thought would be ok to tell her. Then Janet came back in and chased them all off.
Jack and Teal'c said goodbye, but Daniel lingered for a moment after Janet and the others left. He leaned over and gave Sam a quick kiss on the cheek, and then whispered in her ear. "I'm going to sneak back in a little bit if that's ok with you."
Sam
blushed slightly and smiled at his action. "Y- yeah, it's ok
with
me."
"Great,"
he said smiling. "I'll see you later then," he said, and
walked away.
