A/– OH MY GOD- I am so sorry this took so long. My computer broke and for some reason , it lacks the ability to heal itself P. So again I am so sorry this is taking forever..My posting schedule will be incredibly crazy until school starts again (I swear, I do more in 3 months of vacation then during 9 whole months of school)

'FYI- this is set after Threads

The sound of a muffled curse echoed through out the vacant bedroom. Gingerly picking herself up off the floor, Sam waited for her CO to comment on her mishap. When all she heard was silence, she realized Jack was nowhere to be seen. Based on the sound of running water and off-key singing of the Simpson's theme song, Sam guessed that Jack must have already gotten up and was in the bathroom.

As she threw her rather misshapen pillow back onto the bed, Sam realized with a start that Jack had woken up first, which meant he knew she hadn't slept on the love seat last night. Clenching her fist and forcing herself to take slow, deep breaths, Sam frantically tried to come up with an excuse for her behavior.

After working through the finer details of her 'cover story' Sam started to calm down and went about eating breakfast while Jack finished up in the shower. She was in the middle of enjoying something that resembled a breakfast crepe when she realized she was completely forgotten to confront Jack about the 'incident' with her wardrobe.

A couple of years ago, she wouldn't have been in the least bit surprised if he had done something like this. But times had changed; they had changed. He had left SG-1, was a General now, in charge of the entire SGC. She had become a Colonel and taken command of SG-1. Those changes had affected their relationship; team nights were rare and even though they were still comfortable around each other, the lighthearted banter has quickly fading.

But changes like that had affected all of SG-1. Things like Pete and Kerry had changed the way they each thought about the other, although to be fair, Pete had been a bigger part of that. Staring out the window, Sam wondered if it was to late for Samantha Carter and Jonathan O'Neill.

A/N Angsty, I know but things will pick up in the next chapter
