"Hey Cam, Teal'C, Vala," Sam looked at Daniel who nodded his head. "Daniel and I have something to tell you guys."

Part 2

Daniel took Sam's hand that was sitting on the table next to him is his. "Sam and I talked early about some things that included our feelings towards each other. We came to the conclusion that during the past 10 years our feelings for each other has changed, and we decided to start a new chapter in our lives."

"What Daniel is saying that we are together, as in a couple." Sam finished as Daniel brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it.

Cam looked at the couple sitting beside him. He was very excited that they finally talked about their feelings. He could see how Sam felt about Daniel in the way that she would look at him when she thought no one was looking. He could also tell from the way that Sam would talk about Daniel. He was brought back from his thoughts when he heard Teal'C.

"Congratulations, my friends. It is good to hear that you have finally gotten together."

"Finally Teal'C? Have you been waiting for something to happen between Sam and Daniel?"

"Indeed I have Col. Mitchell. I first noticed how close Col. Carter and Daniel Jackson was when I joined the team. I have witnessed since then that the bound between the two have only grown stronger. And I believe that no matter what happened to them, it was still there."

Sam was looking at Teal'C with a smile on her face, and she felt the sudden urge to jump up and hug the Jaffa. But she knew that probably wouldn't be the best idea, so she just settled for thanking him.

"Thanks so much Teal'C."

"I agree with T there guys. I mean I might not have been here since the beginning, but I've read the reports and have heard things."

Daniel head whipped around to face Cam when the last words came out of his mouth. Daniel narrowed his eyes, "What kind of things have you heard?"

"Wow, Jackson, calm down. It's all been good things. Just that you two would always be together. That because of you two, many disasters have been stopped."

"Yeah, and you probably also heard that almost everyone on base thought that I was going to end up with General O'Neill."

"I did also hear that too. But you forget Samantha, I knew you at the academy."

"Yeah, Cam lets not discuss that right now, ok."

"Ok Sam. But what I'm trying to say is that, yes I heard what people were saying about you and General O'Neill, but I knew that if anything ever happened between you two, it wouldn't last very long. What I don't understand is why is took you and Daniel so long to get together. But I'm not going to ask any details or anything like that. I'm just happy that you are happy." Cam paused a minute before he continued speaking. "Are you happy Sam? Because I know that is all you dad would want."

Sam looked into Daniel's eyes while answering. "Yes, I am Cam. I don't think that I've ever been this happy in a long time."

"Well that is all I wanted to hear. Now lets order some dinner. I'm sure that the nice people here are wondering why we have been sitting around talking and not doing anything else."

While Cameron was talking to Sam and Daniel, Teal'C sat there watching Vala through all of this. He knew that she would probably put up a brave front, but deep down she would be hurting. Teal'C made a silent promise to himself that he would make sure that Vala was alright with everything that was going on.

The conversation during dinner was light. It mostly consisted of telling stories from the past when Cameron and Vala weren't involved in the project. Of course, most of the things had to be said in 'code' since most of it was technically classified.

After the dinner was finished, Cam invited them to head back to his place to just hang out and unwind after a crazy few weeks.

Teal'C, Daniel, and Sam sat on the couch, with Sam sitting in between the two men. Vala was curled up on an oversized chair and Cam was sitting on another chair. While Daniel and Cam were figuring out what to watch, Sam was watching Vala. The woman noticed that she didn't say much at dinner, which was nothing like Vala at all. Sam knew what was wrong with the other woman, she was just wonder how to approach her about it. But, Teal'C beat her to it.

"Vala Mal Doran, is something wrong? You have been quiet the whole night?"

Everyone else in the room turned their attention to Vala. She didn't really want to get into this conversation with Teal'C while everyone else was there too. But, she figured that since the reason involved Sam and Daniel, she should talk to them about it. Vala looked at each person before her eyes landed on Daniel and Sam. Before Vala had a chance to say anything, Cam spoke up.

"Ok, this looks like this is going to turn into our first team meeting. Vala, it has to deal with the relationship change between Sam and Daniel, doesn't it?"

Vala turned her attention to Cam before replying. "Yes it does. I'm wondering where is came from."

Daniel took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose while shaking his head.

Before Daniel had a chance to say anything, Sam started speaking. "Vala, I know to you that this might seem sudden, but it really isn't. We have known each other for 10 years. We have been through a lot to stuff during that time. Between deaths, discoveries and everything in between."

"I do not care about what has happened during the years that I didn't know Daniel, all I know is about what happened during the time that I have known him. I didn't even know about you, Sam, until Mitchell said something about you.

"I know that Vala. When you first came to the SGC, I was at Area 51, working with R & D. It was something that I needed to do, for personal reasons. But, just because I wasn't around doesn't mean that the friendship that Daniel and I had weakened any."

"But why then, during the time that I was here he spent all of his time with me."

Daniel was starting to get upset with Vala. He knew that she was just upset with the fact that he was no longer single, but somehow he knew that she would still try to flirt with him. "Vala., you know that the only reason that we were like that was because of those damn bracelets."

"Darling, I know that at first you didn't like the idea, but you grew to like that fact that you were attached to me."

Daniel took a breath before speaking again. He also felt someone intertwine their fingers with his own. He looked over at Sam and she gave him a small smile, he smiled back before turning his attention back to Vala. "Vala. At first, I was pissed that you did it., but I grew to tolerate it. And after a while, I didn't mind it, once I got to know you. But you spent so much time flirting with every guy you could find, you didn't really get to know me."

"Daniel, I knew you as well as I wanted. Just because I didn't take the time to talk to you more about your life…"

"And that is why you think the relationship change between myself and Sam is sudden."

Vala couldn't sit any longer, so she stood up and started walking around the living room. "But Daniel, darling, during the time we spent together, you didn't even seem interested in Sam."

"You just didn't pick up on it. Also, usually when I talked to Sam on the phone, you weren't around. And if I wasn't on the phone, there is also the wonderful world of email. What I'm saying Vala, is that you don't know me as well as you think you do."

Vala wasn't sure of how much more she could take. She stopped all of a sudden and turned to Teal'C. "Teal'C, can you take me back to base now? I need to get out of here."

"Of course, Vala Mal Doran." Vala walked out of the apartment and waited in the hallway.

Teal'C got up and addressed the other members of the team that were sitting. "I will probably stay at the base, so I bid you all good night and I will see you in the morning." With that, Teal'C walked out of the apartment.

The three remaining members of SG-1 look at each other. Cam was the first one to speak up. "Well, that didn't go as well as I thought it would. But then I think she was the only one that didn't really know the relationship between you two. Teal'C sees it because he has known you guys for 10 years, and me because between what I have read and heard it doesn't surprise me."

Sam looked over at him. "What all have you heard, Cam?"

"Not getting into that now, Samantha." Cam winked at her before continuing. "But what I'm saying is that Vala is use to getting all of Daniel's attention, and didn't realize that there were other women in his life that were very important to him."

"I can understand that, but why couldn't she just come to terms with it?"

Sam turned to face Daniel. "Dan, she is a woman. I can understand where she is coming from. She was, like Cam said, the only woman getting your attention during the first time she was here, so when she came back, she thought it would still be the same.

"And, for a while it was. You helped her get settled and what not. She is jealous of me and the time that you spend with me. Just how I was jealous of her."

At this comment, Cam spoke up. "Wow. You were jealous of her? Sam, that is something that I didn't expect from you."

"Yeah well, things happen." Sam turned her head and hid a yawn in Daniels's shoulder.

"Hey, you ready to go?" Daniel looked down at the woman sitting beside him.

Sam looked up at him with tired eyes. "Yeah, today was tiring."

Daniel looked over at Cam. "We are going to go. We will have to get together another night."

"Yeah, that's fine." Cam got up the same time Daniel and Sam did. The latter were gathering their stuff to leave. Cam walked them over to the door. "Daniel," Cam stuck out his hand to offer Daniel a hand shake. "I'm very happy about you guys, glad that you found some happiness in this crazy galaxy that we live in." Cam then moved to Sam and gave her a quick hug.

"Thanks Cam, that means a lot coming from you." Sam stated as she backed away from the hug. "I just hope that telling General Landry and Jack will be as easy."

"Sam, I'm sure that there will not be a problem telling them. I mean, you and Daniel have saved the world how many times in the past 10 years. I think the government owes you guys anything that you want."

"Thanks for the support Cam. I just hope that they feel the same way that you do." Daniel stopped talking when he felt Sam's arm go around his waist. "Alright Sam, lets go home now."

The two said their goodbyes to Cameron, then left to head back to Sam's house.

While stopped at a red light, Daniel glanced over at Sam and noticed that she fell asleep. He brushed a piece of hair off of her face before continuing to her house. Once Daniel was parked he leaned over and gave Sam a quick kiss on her lips. "Sweetie, we're home."

Sam blinked her eyes a few times, trying to will them to stay open. She turned her face to look at him. "Ok. I just want to go to sleep."

The both got out of the car, Daniel walking Sam up to the front door. He wasn't sure if he was going to stay the night or not. He didn't want to push Sam into anything that she didn't want to do.

Daniel was pulled from his thoughts when Sam tugged on his hand. "Hey, are you coming in or not?"

"Yeah." Daniel smiled, followed Sam in and shut the door behind him.
