An officer knocked in the door. "Dr. Jackson?"
Daniel looked up. "Yes?"
"General Hammond said to gear up and be ready to embark."
"Ok. Thank You." Daniel whispered in my ear, "Hon, I have to get ready to leave."
I mumbled, "No, Daniel, wait a few more hours."
"I'm sorry. I have to go."
"Can I see you off?"
"Sure. I'll come back and get you when I'm finished getting geared up."
I rolled off of Daniel to the other side of the bed. Daniel then walked out the door. He ran off to the locker room right after he closed my door. Jack, Teal'c, Sam and the rest of SG-2 were in the locker room getting dressed as well. Daniel didn't make eye contact with anyone and didn't even say a word. Daniel beat the rest of them getting dressed. When he put his vest on, he said, "Bye Guys." He rushed back to my room.
I was still on the bed. Daniel walked in. "What took ya so long?"
Daniel chuckled and grabbed my hand. We walked to the gate room.
General Hammond asked, "What is she doing here?"
Daniel said, "She wanted to wish me luck."
Daniel looked at me and whispered, "Don't run this time."
"I won't."
Daniel said, "I'll be back."
Sgt. Davis said, "Chevron 7 locked."
I kissed and hugged Daniel. I whispered into his ear, "You better come back. You still have to punish me. Remember?"
Daniel smiled
General Hammond said, "SG-1 and 2, you have a go."
I looked at Daniel. "Hurry back, Daniel. I'll be waiting." I kissed him good luck. The contact was brief but electric. My lips seemed to tingle with the sensation.
He smiled and walked up the ramp. He turned around and looked back at me. He smiled again and went through the Stargate.
