A/N- I'm thinking of making this a long one, I have quite a few ideas floating around now. Must be all the chocolate from Easter. Suggestions and reviews welcome.

Chapter 10

SG-1 arrived on the other side of the wormhole. General Hammond was at his usual place, waiting to greet them. He looked at Sam, still in her robes, and then at Colonel O'Neill.

"We had a blast, sir. Got some naquada, Cater got engaged, and I'm going to hit the showers." Jack told him as he hurriedly left the area.

"What?" It was all Hammond could say at the moment. Noticing the aggravated look on Carter's face he then continued. "Is there something we need to discuss?"

"Yes." It was all she said before she walked from the Gateroom.

Hammond started at her as she left. "Dr. Jackson, what in the world is going on?" He demanded.

"Sir, it's a long story. We can let you know during the debriefing. I think though, sir, Sam should be seen in the infirmary right away." Daniel told him as he handed his pack and tac vest to a guard.

"Alright Doctor. Debrief in two hours then." Hammond shook his head as he headed out and back to his office. Daniel raced after Sam to bring her to see Dr. Fraiser.

In the infirmary…

Sam sat on a gurney with Daniel hovering over her. A nurse had drawn some blood, and Janet had done a quick once over to make sure she had no injuries. "This is stupid."

Janet returned and had a concerned look on her face. "Well, your electrolytes are extremely low, your serotonin, endorphin and dopamine levels are at ridiculously high levels. I'd like to keep you here for a while Sam."

"Well, I feel fine. I need to get out here or I'm going to go nuts." Sam said angrily. She was kneading her hands, and swinging her leg back and forth.

"Sam, with levels like this, a number of things could go wrong. I just want to make sure…" The doctor began.

The captain jumped off the gurney and looked down at the shorter woman. "Jeez Janet, why are you such a bitch? I'm fine, dammit. You're so paranoid sometimes."

The good doctor just stared back at Sam for a moment before glancing at Daniel. He gave her a look that said 'let it go'.

"I want Daniel to stay with you. If anything happens, bring her right back." Janet stated sternly.

"I don't need a babysitter." Sam folded her arms across her chest. She looked like she was going to have a tantrum.

"Sam, it's just so we know you're okay. Please, Sam." Daniel placed a hand on her arm, pleading. "Please."

"Fine." She huffed and walked out of the infirmary.

Janet looked at Daniel. "Go." Sitting down on the gurney, she couldn't believe how Sam had spoken to her. They were becoming friends, not just patient and doctor. Her mind knew it was her out of balance system that was the cause of her outburst, but it didn't help the pain her heart felt because of those words.

In Daniel's Office…

The astrophysicist paced around Daniel's office, picking up the random artifact here and there. She was muttering things to herself when Daniel looked up at her. "You're going to wear a hole in the floor."

"I can't stop thinking about him Daniel. I think I should have stayed there." Sam told him.

"You're kidding…right?" Daniel was getting uneasy with Sam's behavior.

"No. I'm not. I have to go back. They need me there."

"Your endorphin level was through the roof when we got back, Sam. It's just wearing off. It's like a drug Sam." He tried unsuccessfully to reason with her.

Sam stopped fidgeting and looked at him. "Yes, Daniel. It makes you stronger, smarter, you feel great, what's so wrong with that?"

"Maybe that's why the Goa'uld are as bad as they are."

"How so? I'm the smart one Daniel…you think I haven't though this through?" She asked him, leaning on the table.

"No I don't think you have. This…" He swept his hand back and forth in front of her. "This isn't you."

Sam arms flew up and her voice got a bit louder. "Maybe it is Daniel. Maybe it is my destiny. I should be a leader! I can give them so much! Just think of what we could learn from the sarcophagus too. They need me Daniel, and Shaylon wants me. I have to go back."

"You can't Sam. He used you." Daniel sighed.

Sam grabbed a figurine of the table and threw it hard against the wall, making Daniel jump. "You've never really known what love is have you?"

Daniel didn't say anything for a moment. "Yes I have Sam. You do remember Sha're don't you?" His voice was raised now too.

"Huh, sure…you loved her so much…you couldn't even save her." Sam's voice was loud and evil as she swept her arm across the table, knocking off more items before storming out.

Daniel stood with his mouth slightly opened. Tears threatened to escape because of what Sam had said. He was at a loss for words, which never happened to the resident linguist. How could she say such horrible things? Daniel's family was the SGC, and he couldn't believe someone he thought of like a sister would say such hurtful things to him. He closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around himself and slumped onto the stool.
