Chapter 12

'Aww come on Carter, spit it out!' Jack said, a jovial glint in his eyes seemingly enjoying the gentle torment of his 2IC.

'With all due respect sir it's different for you.' She said sounding quite annoyed.

'Why?'

'Because you're a man that's why!' she shouted, a cry for understanding and a break from the pressure she was currently under. 'It's different for us women. Men talk about it all the time. Men do it all the time but for women, the conservative view is that we don't do it and therefore it's a bit of a taboo subject.' She paused momentarily as if thinking how best to get her point across, 'I mean you do it every night I'm sure'

'I do not!' he cried as if hurt or mortally wounded, but a raise of an eyebrow by the woman across from him caused his defences to fall and put forward a muttered confession, 'Well I do …but that's beside the point!'

'No it's not,' replied Sam, 'I mean I do it every night too and… I can't believe I just admitted that.' With that she cringed visibly.

'If this isn't testament to your sexual tension then I dunno what is!' muttered Daniel barely loud enough for Sam and Jack to hear. Both he and Janet coming to the same conclusion as to what they where talking about.

'I'm shocked' said Janet, 'I never thought… Why are we even discussing this, it's just weird.' The first statement obviously true as the height of her eyebrows could easily be compared with Teal'c's eyebrow manures.

'See Daniel is happy to talk about it where are Janet isn't – hey you don't even know what were talking about yet!'

A slight wave of relief passed over the harassed major but then a flood of realisation hit her with out warning.

'Oh my god! Can't either of you stay out of the gutter for more than a minute!' she said completely and utterly shocked of the solution her mind had given her and yet known with every instinct that it was true.

'What?' said Jack completely unawares.

Sam leaned close to her commanding officer and whispered her speculations to her commanding officer.

'What?' he said still confused.

'Masturbating, sir.'

'They wouldn't, would they?' he said unbelieving looking upon the faces of his friends, but seeing the guilty looks on their faces he realised that his 2IC was right once again, 'Yup they would! Listen; do you want me to just tell them what you're up to? 'Cos I could, like you said it's easier for men to admit to…'

'NO! No, I'll do it.' said Sam.

She closed her eye, drew an audible breath then turned to her captivated audience.
