A/N: So, here it is. Seems people wanted a sequel, so I tried my best. This chapter definitely isn't as good as the first, but I think it works. If you like it, good, if you don't, well, that's ok too. Since I couldn't end it here, I guess there'll be a third chapter.

Disclaimer: Don't own Stargate…yet…. I wish.

Chapter 2

Three weeks later, the words were still in his head. "I will always love you, Samantha." I should've said it before, what stopped me? Oh, yeah, those damn regulations. Regulations. What a wonder, how one single word can affect your entire life. Keeping you from saying the things that need to be said, doing the things that need to be done. All Jack could do now is wait, wait for her to return.

His thoughts were interrupted by a man knocking on the door. "Come in." He called. The man took his time entering the lab. Her lab. "Jack, what are you doing?" The voice was concerned, but firm.

"I'm sitting."

"What are you doing here?"

"I don't know. Just thought I'd drop in."

"She's not here, Jack."

"I know."

"You still haven't…." He fell silent when Jack stood up, throwing his arms in the air.

"I can't. Sam's coming back, Daniel. I know she is."

"Jack, it could be a long time before…."

"I'm not going to clear out her lab."

"Ok." Daniel said knowing he'd been defeated. He wasn't going to win this fight, not this time. He didn't want to clear out the lab either, but orders were orders. Daniel sighed, walking out of the lab.

"You are coming back soon, right?" He said to the open room, returning to his place on her chair. The whole room screamed Carter; he guessed that was why he was here again. It was the only place he could find her. Ah, fer cryin' out loud, I'm thinking out loud again. He noticed he'd been doing that a lot recently. I guess I'll keep doing it, until you get back.

"No you won't." What was that…that voice only belonged to… Jack spun around on his chair fast enough to make him jump off.

"Sam?" he almost cried.

"What, you don't recognize me?" She smiled…that smile. He ran forward, pulling her swiftly in his arms, holding her tighter than he ever had. "Oh, Sam."

"I know. I, um, heard everything." She pulled away to look in his eyes. "I love you too."

They both smiled embracing once again. "Jack, I need you to do something."

"Anything."

"Wake up."

Before he knew it, she was gone and everything was quiet again. Just a dream, she isn't really here. Slowly, he made his way to the door and exited, sighing. Soon. Soon, you'll be home, where you belong.
