A/N:Thanks so much to all who reviewed. I can't believe that people seem to like this story, but okay, I'll keep going with it. This might be the last chapter for a while, I leave for school in the morning, and while I hope I'll be able to keep updating quickly, I don't know yet. Anyway here's chapter 3, and remember, please review. Reviews make me happy.
Chapter 3
Colonel Jack O'Neill stormed down the halls of the SGC. Knowing that going to Hammond's office to demand an explanation was a bad idea, even Hammond could not ignore the things Jack would do or say in this mood. So instead, he was heading to the infirmary. That's where she would be.
He didn't not want Katie here, but it would complicate things immensely. Oh course, she had always complicated his life, but he still loved her. No one who met her couldn't not love her, well there was one person who had managed to not love her.
What made his mood worse was the fact that he would have to tell SG-1 about his relationship with Katie. And even though he was always proud of her and loved her completely, he was embarrassed. Not by her, no never by her, but by his own actions. His actions had embarrassed him years before and now they would again.
Worse still then just being embarrassed, being embarrassed in front of Sam. He had long ago stopped thinking of her as Carter, and even though he would never in a million years believe himself worthy of loving her or of even being with her, he was in love with her, his beautiful, brilliant 2IC, and he wanted desperately to unlock that room they had closed up 3 years before and tell her, but he couldn't.
Not now. She would have already heard the rumors of Katie. And if those rumors were anything like the ones he had heard she wouldn't be able to help coming to some kind of conclusion about him and Kate.
Even after he told her the truth, because he was going to tell the truth to his team, no matter how embarrassing it would be. She wouldn't want anything to do with him. She was already starting to move on, he refused to think of Pete as anything more than trying to make her brother happy and she had told him I wasn't serious, but after the truth came out she would let go completely.
Because Katie, though she was the most important person in his life, along with Sam, revealed him to be the bastard he was.
And it didn't reveal that Sam had changed him, made him better. Just like Katie did. Sam and Katie. Katie and Sam. What the hell was he supposed to do?
