Thanx so much for all the awesome reviews! It's good to know that people are actually reading this and enjoy it. However, I will be leaving for Virginia very early tomorrow morning so I will not be able to post the next chapter as soon as I had hoped. I will do my best to find a computer and get the next chapter up and running. Keep reading and writing reviews!

"Have you seen Major Carter?" inquired Teal'c.

She had been missing for the last two hours. The last time anyone had seen her was in the briefing room when they all found out they would have to wait two days until they would be able to go through the gate again. The gate had redialed the planet successfully, but Gen. Hammond had orders from higher up. Carter, of course, was none to pleased, as was Daniel. Nobody had seen her since. After searching for what seemed like forever, Daniel finally found her. He thought about letting Teal'c know, but decided against it at the moment. Sam was holed up in a corner of the kitchen, eating blue jello, trying to tell herself he was okay.

"Sam?" asked Daniel.

As if a switch had been flipped, Sam snapped out of it, trying desperately to wipe away the tears that Daniel already knew were there.

"Oh, uh, hey Daniel. What's up?" she asked, trying to control her voice.

"What's up yourself? You look awful. How're you doin'?" he asked, genuinely concerned.

"Oh, I'm fine. Really," a small tear silently fell down her cheek.

Daniel sat down next to her, cupping her cheek with one hand. That's all it took. Sam broke down then and there.

"Why? Why him? Why now?" she whispered.

"I don't know Sam. I don't know. But I do know one thing. He's alive. He's alive, and it's you that's keeping him that way," Daniel said, choking up.

"I shouldn't have left him…" she trailed off into more tears.

"No! Don't say that Sam! You were following orders. It's not your fault!" Daniel replied.

Sam was keeping her head down, still crying. Daniel lifted her head so that she would look at him.

"Listen to me Sam. He's coming back, and he's coming back for you."

At this point, Daniel was trying to control his own tears. Sam managed to control herself again.

"Thank you Daniel," she said.

"You're welcome Sam," he replied softly.

Then they both just sat there and hugged, letting out each worry each of them was bottling up.

Ok, I know that was probably out of character, but I try to keep them as real as possible. Wanna know who gets injured mentally? It's coming up in the next chapter so keep reading!
