CHAPTER SEVEN

Daniel, Jacob and Teal'c all walked into the Infirmary, not really saying too much. Daniel was angry at Teal'c for not telling him but also understanding that if he had, it would be betraying Jack's trust and that was something Teal'c didn't do.

Janet was standing there waiting for them to come in; she just looked at them, sad but having had that talk with Jack knowing a little more about his reasons.

"I suppose you have been told?" Janet started

"Yeah!" was the reply from the three of them.

Noticing Sam not with them

"How did Sam take it?"

"Ok I guess she's gone for a shower she will be in after that!" Daniel replied

"I'll talk to her when she is ready!"

"Ok everyone pick a bed!" Janet started walking over to Jacob who picked the bed near Teal'c as Janet wanted to talk to Daniel last.

Janet and Jacks conversation was not all about him leaving or Sam but also about her and her lack of relationships. Janet finished the boy's exams quickly,

"Ok Jacob, Teal'c you are cleared to go Daniel your turn!"

"Thanks Janet!" Daniel whined

Janet looked at him and he knew to shut up straight away something she knew that's why he was left to last. The infirmary was empty as Janet walked over to Daniel's bed with all the gear she needed for his exam.

"Daniel this isn't good, Jack's gone and the impression he gave off he's not coming back. He's given Cassie his Cabin!"

"What his Cabin he would never get rid of it!" Daniel blurted

"He said he can't be around her every day and that he doesn't regret what happen, just that the team got split up. He was sad Daniel; I have never seen him like this. He put on that front you know the one, the big strong Air Force Colonel happy to be going but it was all a front."

"I just can't believe they are doing this to each other!" Janet sighed she had to take Jack's advise and trust him.

"Daniel…am… what are you doing tonight?" Not waiting for his answer.

"Do you want to come over for dinner; Cassie is out so I'm home alone tonight?"

"I can tell you more of what was said!" hoping that get Daniel's interest and he wouldn't decline. She had to do this seeing what has happened with Jack and Sam, Jack was right there is no point in putting it off. She had to know if Daniel felt the same.

Daniel had agreed to have dinner and arranged to be there about 7pm. Daniel headed to the showers while Janet got ready for Sam's exam. While Janet was waiting SG7 came in hot. No one was really badly hurt but Janet was required in surgery so she had missed Sam.

Janet rang Sam later that day to say sorry and to check how she was doing. Sam had said that she was going home and spending some time with her dad and that she would call the next day. Janet was relived that Sam wasn't going to be alone but also that Janet could keep her plans with Daniel.

Janet raced around at five o'clock checking on SG7 and finishing her paper work. She wanted to be home early so she could prepare for tonight. They had organised to order takeout so all she had to do was have a shower chose an outfit and tidy up her room. Just in case it went better than she thought.

As she was having her shower Janet could feel the butterflies building in her stomach, she wasn't this nervous when she got married.

"What if he doesn't feel the same? Oh god what am I doing?" Janet panicked

"Calm down he has feelings just what they are you don't know. If he doesn't feel the same then you will deal with it! You are a Major in the Air Force and a Doctor you can deal with this." Janet told herself.

She finished her shower without any more panic attacks. Choosing an outfit was what took the longest. She chose a pair of denim jeans and an aqua blue shirt. Casual but sexy is what she went for she didn't want to scare the guy away.

Janet looked at her clock, she had ten minutes spare. Pouring a glass of wine for herself, Janet remembered the letter Jack had given her to give to Daniel. She didn't know what was in it but had a fair idea. Going to her draw she grabs it and put it on the dinning room table. As she put the letter down the door bell rang.

Walking to the door, checking that her outfit was right and her hair, doing the final touches as she opened the door. She smiled at the man standing there look drop dead gorgeous in a pair of slacks and a button up shirt. He had been home and showered as well.

"Hi!"

"Hi come on in!" they both were nervous.

"Do you want something to drink?" Janet asked

"Do you have beer?"

"Yeap! I will be back. Am there is a letter from Jack on the table for you, I will get your drink and order dinner while you read it." Janet said as she left the room.

Picking up the letter seeing it was sealed. Label Daniel on the front. He opened it and started to read it.

Dear Daniel,

First I would like to say sorry for breaking up the team and that I haven't got the guts to say goodbye in person. I know you are probably very angry with me at the moment but I have my reasons why. I can't be around her, it hurts too much. It's not her fault I should have been stronger and said no. I basically raped her Daniel now I have to live with the regret. I can't do that there it will kill me seeing her everyday, knowing what I have done. She will be the new CO of SG1 take care of each other. Now I have a few things to say to you and I hope you take this advice.

DON'T WASTE ANY MORE TIME. Make a move, Kiss her, ask her out to dinner, anything tell her how you feel. Don't let your love for Sha'ra get in the way. Sha'ra will always be your wife but she is gone and you deserve to be happy again. Janet is a good person and loves you even if you can't see it. Talk to her. I have told Janet this as well; don't make the mistakes that I have. Don't let her go!

I have a favour to ask, I need you to check in on Sara every now and then. She knows everything about where I am going. She has helped me a lot in the last couple of weeks coming to terms with everything and the move. Thanks!

I will miss you Space monkey. You can come and visit after we settle everything down.

Talk soon your friend.

Jack

Daniel looked straight at Janet who had brought him his beer and got herself another wine. She was looking at him waiting to see his response.

"Is he right? I mean about us, our feelings?" Daniel questioned

"I'm in love with you Daniel! Have been for awhile. I don't know how you feel but I had to tell you that, Jack is right you needed to know that." Before she could say anything else Daniel cupped her face and started a passionate kiss that neither will ever forget.

"I love you too. I can't believe we waste so much time." Daniel stated in between kisses. They talked all night and decided to take it slow.

Daniel gave the letter to Janet to read and they agreed that they needed to get Sam and Jack talking and soon. As soon as Daniel was aloud he would go to the Beta Site and talk to Jack.

A/N Sorry for the delay have been busy with work. Need feedback on what you think. I have decided to go off the Sam and Jack thing for this chapter. I will get to the baby and more at the Beta Site action in the next few chapters.
