I don't own Stargate, probably never will.
The December air was frigid and Sam's cheeks were pink from the cold wind. She stood outside O'Neill's house, looking for some answer that she knew wasn't there. He wasn't home; he was frozen under a block of god-forsaken ice in the outpost in Antarctica. She was beside herself, although she'd never show it. She missed Friday nights in his living room, drinking beer and hanging out with friends.
His truck was parked outside his house, sitting, unused. She trudged up the snow-covered lawn, running a black gloved hand over the driver's side window. She bowed her head, remembering the time spent with him in this vehicle. Fishing, traveling to the cabin, catching a ride to work, among other things. She pressed her forehead against the crystallized glass, tears escaping from tired eyes. God she missed him. She shouldn't miss him this much.
She stood up, brandishing keys to his front door. She walked up the icy concrete walkway, carefully unlocking the wooden door and pushing inside. It looked just like he'd left it. Clean. It was cool; Daniel must've come by to turn the utilities off. His truck keys hung next to the phone on the kitchen wall. Sadly, she wondered into his bedroom. It was him. It looked like him. It smelled like him. She fell onto his bed, pulling his favorite pillow to her chest. She cried silently, her tears staining the blue fabric. She had no idea that it would hurt this much, this bad.
The problem with letting it show was that it wasn't supposed to be like this. "It" had surpassed camaraderie, this was love. It hurt to her very core, and nothing else but Jack could fix it. Pete couldn't fill the space Jack had left in her heart.
She placed the navy pillow back into its spot, rising from the spot on the bed. She smoothed out the wrinkles on the bedspread, and wiped her eyes. She couldn't waste anymore time blubbering about it. She had to contact the Asguard and fix this. Even if that meant breaking the rules.
