Alight people, I'm feeling better. See, it was a disguisting morning outside, and I had to wake up at 6:45 to get ready for work which starts at EIGHT and on top of that I had a creepy dream So basically I wanted to be back in bed. REally really really bad I was a little grouch :P

Actually, it was a Stargate dream. Sort of. Something about snakes but not goa'ould...but like snakes and Sam was like hypnotized and Jack was backing away and it was WEIRD ANYWAY enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 14: I Remember!

Last Time: Sam reached up and laid her hand gently on O'Neill's cheek for a moment. "I know what happened while we were missing," she whispered.

O'Neill's eyes sparkled with question's that he refused to speak. Gently, he removed her hand from his cheek and placed it on the bed, even though it ached his heart. "I'll go tell Hammond," he whispered. When he looked back into her eyes, he saw the hurt that she refused to admit, and he let his hand rest on her cheek for a moment. "Glad to see you among the living, Carter," he said with a twitch of a smile.

Sam nodded her head into his cheek, and followed him with her eyes as he walked away. A few moments later, Janet came in with a contagious smile on her face. "O'Neill told me you were awake," she said softly, checking the machines that were monitoring Sam's vitals.

Sam nodded, and grabbed Janet's arm. She smiled when her friend looked down on her. "I remembered," she said gleefully. "Everything." Janet smiled back and let her continue. "How we got there, how we left…when I got pregnant, the sex of the baby…a little girl…" she stopped when the expression on Janets face slipped. "What's wrong?" she asked quietly, fear seeping into her voice. She sat up fearfully.

Quietly, Janet pushed her back down on the bed. "Sam, honey," she said. "You were in a nasty accident on your last mission, you've been out for two days," Sam shook her head and thought back through the recent memories, stopping when she remembered the rocks over the DHD collapsing on her. Janet continued. "Sam," she said softly. "You lost the baby."

Jack slipped into General Hammond's office and slid the door shut with a click behind him. Hammond looked up from his papers, and smiled when he saw O'Neill.

"O'Neill," he said, waving his hand to the chair. "I just got word back," he said.

Jack sat down and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "And?"

Hammond's smile widened. "You have a go."

A shy grin slipped onto Jack's face. Part A of his plan was complete. He settled triumphantly back into his chair. "Great," he murmured. "Thanks, George."

George nodded. "Glad I could help, son," he paused for a moment, studying Jack's face. "But you can't have come here for that."

O'Neill shook his head. "Carter woke up," he said softly. "Request permission for a debriefing, sir." When his CO gave him a puzzled look, he continued. "She remembers our mission to P3C-629, sir."

Janet hung up the phone on the wall and walked solemnly back to Sam. Lightly, she touched her shoulder. "Sam," she said. "General Hammond wants to know if you are in any condition to debrief...I told him I didn't think…"

Sam shook her head and wiped a tear away from her cheek. "No," she said, drawing in a shaky breath as she regained her composure. "I want to do this," she continued. "As soon as possible."

Major Carter fidgeted in her wheelchair, the one that Dr. Fraiser forced her to use, along with the handy IV, and swiped her thumb across her cheeks one last time. She glanced around the room, avoiding eye contacted with Colonel O'Neill and General Hammond. Both men had noticed her tear stained cheeks, but she had only waved them away, especially the Colonel.

Carter grimaced. Janet had told Sam that O'Neill knew about the baby, which, Sam suspected, was the reason for his attitude earlier that day, when she had awoken. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Daniel walk in the doors, closely followed by Teal'c.

"Sam!" Daniel exclaimed, striding over to throw his arms around his friend in a brotherly manner. "You're awake! You had us all worried…especially," he flicked his eyes to O'Neill, who, out of the corner of his eye, was glaring daggers at him. He cleared his throat and changed course of words. He took his seat next to her, and across from Jack, as he continued. "General Hammond says you remember things from the planet."

Sam took a shuddering breath, closed her eyes and held them for a second, biting her lower lip. Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea. When she opened her eyes again, she was aware of the inquiring stare of the General, the concerned stare of her friends and the hidden plea for information from behind their eyes. She would have to do this.

"Are you sure you're ready to do this, Major?" Hammond inquired after a moment of her silence.

Sam nodded and took another breath before continuing. "We went to P3C-629, as scheduled, when we were taken by traders…as livestock…" she began. She continued her story, just as she had seen it in her dreams, and watched her friends faces as the memories began settling in on them as well. It was not long before Daniel, Teal'c and Jack were chiming in with a piece of information that she missed or something that they considered important.

Yet, as she talked, Sam purposefully ignored her engagement, marriage and…pregnancy. Each time she got near to the point where it would be added, she would look up at Colonel O'Neill, who was always looking in the other direction, and then skipped over it, throwing nervous glances at her friends. They seemed to get the message.

When she reached the end of her story, it was Hammond who asked, "Do you know of any reason why the villagers would drug you?"

Sam shook her head. "None, sir," she said. The others gave similar responses, but it was ultimately Daniel who spoke up.

"Well, think about it," he said. "If they had a quiet little village, no go'aould to bother them and then we show up, grant it they did rescue us," he added the last part hurridly when Jack lifted a finger and opened his mouth to protest. "Blabbering about a Stargate and then all of it's troubles. They probably didnt want us back."

Hammond folded his hands together and nodded his head. "In any case, there will be no returning to the planet until we have more details."

"Or at all, sir," O'Neill interrupted, his head cradeled in his right hand.

Hammond nodded. "Or at all," he repeated. Looking at his primary team, he stood up. "Dismissed," he said, walking out of the door as to leave the team to themselves.

After the General left, Daniel perched on the table's edge, close to Sam, and Teal'c took the seat left open by him. O'Neill hung in the corner by the door.

"So, Sam," Daniel said, grinning. "Congratulations again on the baby."

Only Carter noticed Jack grimace and slip out of the door. Obviously this wasn't a conversation he was willing to have here, in the SGC. Sam looked down at the floor, then back up at Daniel. "No congratulations, Daniel," Sam said, forcing tears of her eyes. The smile on Daniel's face slipped. "I lost the baby…in the accident."

"Oh, Sam," Daniel said, sympathetically, as he got off of his chair and pulled Sam into a hug, allowing her to use his shoulder as a tissue. "I'm sorry…"

Carter nodded into his shoulder, grateful to at least have a release now. Even Teal'c sympathized, placing his hand on her shoulder sympathetically. From a monitor in the security room, O'Neill grimaced, knowing that he should be in there as well. He folded his hands behind his back and looked up at the ceiling. But not yet. He smiled with an inner laugh. It would only ruin his plan…

A few moments later, when Sam was dry out of tears, Daniel let her go and tried conversation again. "So now that we have our memories back…will you and Jack…" he paused awkwardly. "Continue your relationship?"

Sam smiled sadly and lowered her head again. "I don't think that's going to work out," she said.

"But Sam…you love each-other!"

Carter sucked on her lips. She was not going to start the waterworks again. Teal'c stepped in to her rescue.

"Daniel Jackson," he said softly. "I do believe this is a difficult topic for Major Carter."

"What?" Daniel looked at Sam, on the verge of tears again, and his mouth formed an "O" shape. "Oh," he said. "Sam, I'm sorry," he obviously was. He grinned nervously. "You can zat me if you like?"

Sam looked up at him, and the concern etched into his face and laughed. "I'm go…" she paused to yawn. " –od, thanks," she murmured. "But…I would like some sleep."

Even more bashful for not noticing his friends drowsiness, Daniel, with the help of Teal'c, took Carter back to the infirmary and placed her gently on the bed, for she had already fallen asleep, and backed quietly out of the room.

grimace That was NOT my best "In chara" moment there. Daniel was horrible, Teal'c was okay, Sam was "eh" and Jack wasnt really there...sigh sorry about that
