Winter's Lullaby
Chapter 2
By Dani, (who by the way you looove)
A/N: Okay, the REVAMPED chapter 2 for you!
Sam sighed as she walked into her tiny one-bedroom condo. She (without looking) threw her keys on the side table. She was so tired after her truly wonderful day. She had not only bought a dress, shoes and earrings, but had taken herself on a shopping spree, not to mention spending all of her time with the exceptionally hot Jack O'Neill. She had gotten to know him pretty well, at least as much as she could over the course of one day.
She took her contacts out and brushed her short blonde hair which was newly trimmed. After changing into her new baby blue and silver silk nightgown and brushing her teeth, Sam stumbled into bed. After thinking about the days events for a while, she managed to calm her restless mind enough to get some sleep, the image of Jack's face embedded in her brain.
She awoke to find the sun shining in her face and sparrows chirping.
She tried to cover her face with the pillow.
"No, sun. Go away!" She reasoned groggily. Her efforts however, did not pay off and she drew the covers off herself and went to the bathroom.
'Thank God it's Saturday. I would have missed work.' She thought. 'Like I'd really want to go anyway.' She bent over to her nightstand and checked her blue alarm clock. It read 11:23 AM.
"Dear God," she said to herself. "I never sleep this late." She stepped into her kitchen and took whole wheat bread from her refrigerator and popped it in the toaster. In a few minutes, she munched it over a cracked multicolor plate.
'Damn. I need new plates.' She reminded herself.
She then walked to the bathroom to shower and then apply her makeup. She then went to her weekend early-afternoon yoga class. She then felt calm and decided to go for a late lunch.
After lunch, she went for a run. She puffed along the walking path slowly. She reassured that the workout was burning calories and was good for her, not that she was just wasting her time.

Sam stepped through the door at La Gioia del Sole. She scanned the main area quickly, until her eyes came upon the host. She quickly walked over to him.
"Hello, I'm Samantha Carter. I have a reservation for four people made by Jane….?"
'Ah….shit. What was her last name? Ah, crap. Did she—' Her thoughts were interrupted by the host.
"Oh, Jane Fowley. Of course."
"Oh!" Sam sighed with relief. "You've met?"
"Well, sort of. She's pretty popular at La Gioia del Sole. She comes here at least once a week. Anyway, her table is right down this hall." The host led her down to the table.
She greeted Jane, Jack and the "mystery boyfriend".
"Hey, Sam. I'm Wilson." Jane's boyfriend said, reaching out his hand towards hers. She took his greasy palm lightly and shook it.
"Hello Wilson," Sam replied.
A/N: Mkay, I'll grant you that that was a pretty sucky ending for chapter two, but it'll all be revealed in chapter three! I hope you enjoyed the redone chapter two!
