A/N: This is my first attempt at a Stargate fiction. This answers my own question of what happens between the episodes. Guess this is what happens when I ask a question then find I am the one answering it. In my own personal dimension, this is how it goes. Enjoy. Edit 2013
Samantha Carter's HouseSam's doorbell sounded, and it startled her because she was distracted and writing furiously in her journal.
After putting it between the arm of the couch and the cushion, she answered the door. He silently entered and cheerfully kissed her on the lips. She returned the kiss with far less enthusiasm then the last time they kissed.
He wrapped his arms around her and held her close pressing his body against hers.
She turned to shut the door, and he came up behind her and put his hands on her arms.
Sam let her arms fall to her sides, "I would rather be alone right now, I'm sorry." She turned the doorknob and backed up.
He let go of her and stared in confusion, "Samantha, you really want me to go?" Pete looked her directly in the eye and saw that she did not look too good. "Ok, I can see you're tired. Don't say another word. I'll see you tomorrow." He gave her a goodbye kiss and went out the door.
Little did Pete know that Jack O'Neill was only a minute from Sam's residence. A few houses away a helicopter hovered over the road. A rope was lowered to a few feet from the ground. Jack swung his legs over the edge and slid down without a harness. He waved the guys to go back to the base.
Jack ran to Carter's house.
Sam sat on her couch and leaned back with her eyes closed. The doorbell chimed again, and she was starting to wonder who was on the other side of the door, Jack or Pete. Another sensation overtook her for the briefest of moments, what if it was Fifth? She stifled the notion and reached to open the door and paused. An irrational fear started making her hand shake at the thought of Fifth being in her house for real.
"Hey, Carter open up!" She heard Jacks voice.
"Sir, is that you?" She could feel the jumble of emotions start to subside knowing it was O'Neill and not Fifth.
She opened the door while smiling, but the expression did not last long. Fifth jumped onto her knocking her to the ground. His dark eyes were piercing her confidence of escape. How had he found her? He put his hand over her face and started to press down. Air, she needed air.
Jack got to the door and heard her muffled voice. Panic started to overtake him as he heard Sam say the word Fifth. He slammed into her door busting it open. He leaped into the room she was in and saw her laying on her couch with her eyes closed.
Sam woke up with a jerk. "What's going on?"
Jack could see the confusion still in her eyes, "I think you were having a bad dream."
She stared at him knowing that Pete had never come by. Everything had just been a dream. "I must have fallen asleep after you called."
Jack thought she looked shaken up and he knew it took a lot to rattle her. "Looks that way. I'll take a look around then fix us dinner. Ok?"
She was still distracted and just nodded her head. She went to the bathroom to splash some water on her face.
She came out feeling a little better and went to the kitchen at hearing that Jack was in there. She leaned against one of the counters and wordlessly watched him prepare their dinner.
"How do you feel now?" Jack took another bite of the pasta he cooked.
"Better. Do you know what I was thinking?" Her mind was flooded with thoughts of a planet they had been on a time ago.
"I should have used more sauce?" Jack was still amazed that he had fixed her dinner and not just ordered a pizza.
"No, not the sauce. I was remembering when our memories were erased on the ice planet. I believe that's what you called it. Do you remember when we thought we were workers and had to wear those horrible orange outfits?"
"Yeah, wearing one solid color besides black or green makes me nervous." He then started remembering the time they spent together when he mixed up the names Hammond and Homer.
After eating, they sat down on the couch. To Jack's delight, Sam sat right next to him.
She leaned over and put her head on his shoulder, "I remember on the ice planet we sat just like this. I felt safe that you were there even if we did not remember who each other was." She was not about to say that when that happened, he told her he could remember strong feelings for her.
She felt completely relaxed being around him. When Pete came over, she still felt anxiety. When Jack came over, she felt safe. Jack had not left her in the ship when her armband failed and she was stuck. He had not deserted her when Fifth came and took her. He was the one that Fifth said had found a way to save me. He was always there.
Jack realized she fell asleep. He stroked her silky blond hair and tried not to fall asleep himself. He finally carried her to her bed and covered her up. After giving her a light kiss on her forehead, he left to go find Daniel and Teal'c who had been keeping an eye on Anise.
Pete pulled up to Sam's house. He saw Jack leaving. Pete started to feel a little resentful, but figured that it was work related, saving the planet and all.
The MallJack finally caught up with Daniel. "Hey, Danny boy what's up?"
"Oh, yeah nothing much. Babysitting a Tok'ra is not exactly my idea of a day off. How was Sam?" Daniel suspected that Sam was the reason he did not take Anise with him.
"Asleep in her bed, where I left her." Jack was distracted still thinking of Sam and remembering he now had Anise to worry about for a few days.
"What?" Daniel raised his eyebrows then scrunched his forehead.
"Oh, don't get to hyper. I don't mean it like that. I cooked her dinner and she went to sleep." Jack was following Daniel over to where Teal'c and Anise were standing.
"Jack, I never knew humans took such care to comfort themselves. Look what Daniel bought for me." Anise held up a few bags of clothing, bath salts and a magazine called Cosmopolitan.
"Well, Jack is paying me back, so they are things he bought for you." Daniel smiled and glanced at Jack who looked pale.
Jack's HouseAnise had just walked around every room in Jack's house stopping to inspect everything. "I like your house."
Jack on the other hand, was watching the television. "Hu?"
Anise walked into the room where Jack was watching the television, "I said I like your house."
Jack started tuning out the sounds of the television, which was not normal at all for him. Anise was wearing an azure silken nightgown. Jack noticed it was very short and the neckline seamed to dip down to her waist. She did a turn to show him how the open back.
"What do you think?" Anise ran one hand up from her hip to her waist catching her gown that caused it to raise another inch up her thy. She had just finished reading over a few items in her magazine that explained such a move.
"Did Daniel pick that out?" Jack was trying to think of a way to get her back into regular clothing. In that moment, he noticed that the material was almost translucent. Yep, a Tok'ra Brothel for tidbits of Tok'ra secrets. He thought.
"No, I picked it out. I know you spoke earlier at the SGC about liking Samantha, when I had to test all the SG teams. During the test, you and Samantha left out the parts that had to do with caring for each other. She is now seeing someone else, so I thought you would not mind seeing a little more of me for a time." Anise took a step closer to Jack.
"What about your snake's thoughts? Never mind, come with me." Jack walked quickly straight to his bedroom. He tossed a pair of his night pants and shirt at her. "There, put that on. It will be more comfortable." He was having problems controlling himself with her in that gown then he thought of something.
I don't want anyone else, but Sam.
She started undressing with him in the room, and Jack turned around and leered at the window.
"Is that better?"
He turned around and saw her in his clothes.
"I like wearing your sleeping clothing." Anise rubbed her hand on her arm enjoying the sensation the soft cotton fabric.
"Ok, I'll show you where you can sleep. SG1 will be coming over tomorrow for dinner. Then the next day, I can teach you to fish for your dinner." Jack was almost nauseous thinking that the woman sleeping over and who would be fishing was not the one he had always hoped would.
The Next Night at Jack's"Hey, Teal'c could you bring me another plate to take the steaks off?" Jack was cheerful finishing on the grilling.
Teal'c brought a large plate outside to Jack, "Here is the plate you requested. Anise and Daniel are making something called potato salad. Oh, and Samantha Carter has just arrived."
"Cool." Jack took off the last steak and turned the grill off.
"Hello, sir." Sam strolled around the house to the deck where Jack and Teal'c were standing.
"Hey, Carter. Looks like you got away from…" he saw someone walk around the corner at that moment. "Pete, how are ya?"
"Doing good. How are you?" Pete started to feel strange at seeing Jack with his hand on Sam's shoulder.
"Oh, feeling pretty good. Nice day out." Jack was unaware that he patted Sam's shoulder when he said the word 'good'.
Jack picked up the plate and walked behind Teal'c into the house. Sam and Pete followed. Both of the new arrivals were stunned at the person they found helping Daniel put the finishing touches on a potato salad.
Sam thought that Anise was standing awfully close to Daniel, "Hi, Anise."
After dinner was finished, they watched a movie Teal'c picked out that was called Alien 3. "I thought this would be an interesting movie." Teal'c grinned.
Sam went to the bathroom to wash her hands, not even bothering to close the door. She gazed into the mirror and saw fabric behind the door. She turned it around to see what it was. Sam held the blue nightgown up to her body and stared back in the mirror. Sam started wondering where it came from, and then she remembered Daniel saying he took Anise shopping.
"That's mine." Jack was standing in the hall watching her. What would he give to see her in it? He did not know.
She smirked and handed it to him as she passed.
During the movie, Anise sat in the middle of the couch with Daniel and Teal'c on either side of her. Anise had a lot of questions, and Daniel was the one that answered her. Apparently, she had never watched television before.
Every time Anise spoke, Pete glanced over at her. Sam started to wonder what the problem was and looked the next time he did. Sam stole a glance when Pete's eyes were diverted to the pretty Tok'ra.
Sam felt annoyed. He is staring at her chest.
She decided she might just be over doing it and thought to just sit and watch the movie.
The movie was soon over and Jack offered coffee. He was hoping that Anise would kidnap Pete and go back through the Stargate.
"Well, we have some stuff to do early in the morning. Thanks for having us over, but we have to get going." Daniel smiled and got his things. Teal'c followed him after saying goodbye as well. Jack started a pot of coffee and sat down at the kitchen table.
Sam felt relieved knowing that Anise had left with Daniel and Teal'c. "Sir, what are you planning on doing the next two days?"
"Jack is going to teach me to fish." Anise entered the room with Jack's pajamas on and took a cup of coffee with the ease as if she lived there.
Sam caught her breath at seeing Anise. She was not able to speak, but her mind started racing with explanations and questions.
"Hey, you ok." Pete questioned Sam who became self-conscious at the question.
All she could do was shake her head in a yes.
"Well, Sam and I probably need to be leaving too." Pete saw that Anise was acting like she wanted to be alone with Jack. Good.
Jack walked Sam and Pete to the door.
Pete put his hand out to shake Jack's hand and leaned forward to whisper, "Nice little hottie you got there." He gave Jack a wink thinking that Sam did not hear him. Oh, how little he knew.
"See you later." Jack peered into Sam's eyes. He noticed Sam had not spoke since Anise strolled into the kitchen with his clothes on. Jack held the door as he watched them get into Pete's vehicle and leave.
Few Days Later in the SGCSam was in her office doing some work and decided to take a quick break. She ate one of the turkey sandwiches that Teal'c brought her. While getting her journal out, she saw she did not have anything to drink in her office. She put the journal under a notebook and went to get bottled water.
When she got back, Daniel was in her office with his usual pile of books and notebooks. "Hey, I have something I was hoping you would look at before I show it to Jack. Its about some symbols I found when I was studying some of my old notes."
"Sure." Sam started reading the books he had opened and saw what he wrote about it.
After about an hour of debate and discussion, Daniel determined to turn in his report. "Thanks, Sam."
Daniel picked up his things and went to Jack's office. The room was empty, so he left all of his notes and his report along with a note asking Jack to read what he found. Daniel then left to get something to eat. When he was done eating, he was almost slammed into the wall by Sam running around the corner.
"Did you see my journal on my desk? It's gone!" Once Sam discovered that her journal was gone, she searched everywhere for it and finally came to think that Daniel had it.
"Your journal is gone? It could have gotten mixed up with mine." Daniel wondered what information was in it that she would be so upset.
They searched his office then a thought came to Daniel, "I may have put it in Jack's office when I dropped my report off."
If Sam were the kind of person to faint, she would have at that moment. She started to break into a sweat as she raced to the General's office. There were two different people who tried to stop her to talk, and she ignored them completely. As she approached Jack's office she saw her journal under his hand as he read another.
"That's mine." She came to a stop at his desk.
He had just viewed the report in his hands and knew it was Daniels. "Hello to you too and this is from Daniel."
"No, its not." Sam flustered.
"Yes, it is." Jack retorted.
"Sir, I mean the one you're tapping under your hand. I need it back." She appeared flushed and held out her hand.
"Oh, this one." He held her journal up that had her thoughts and dreams in it. He went to open it when Daniel came into the room.
Sam snatched it out of his hand and practically clutched it to her chest.
"Well, ok it's yours. You can have it back. All you had to do was ask." Jack had a blank look on his face.
Daniel saw that she had her own journal. "I had so many things with me. Sam, I'm sorry for the mix up." He started wondering what kinds of things she had in the journal, but instead of asking he nodded to Jack and left.
"Did you read it?" She was trying to read his face that only seemed to be amused that she burst into his office.
"I haven't gotten that far yet. If you have things to fix, go ahead." Jack picked up the papers he was holding when she came in.
"I will." Sam turned to leave while feeling relieved that he did not read all the things she had written about him, the SGC and her dreams. Things to fix? Yes, like the fact that I can't get the feelings I have for you to go away.
Jack leaned back in his chair. "Off the record, I would die before Fifth ever gets his Replicator hands on you again." Images of shooting Fifth, with the new weapon he had created using the information from the Ancients flashed through Jack's mind. I loved reading her journal. Maybe there is still hope somewhere floating around.
Sam was facing out of the room, and she paused for the briefest of seconds realizing what he meant. She kept walking knowing she had to get ready to go assist with a Russian team in orbit on a space station. They had to deal with the debris from the fight in space.
When she was preparing to leave, she thought about what he blurted out when she left his office.
Did he read my journal?
A/N: The End. In my fiction, I am trying not to go too far beyond the realm of the show and just show what I think happens between the eps. Feel free to review as well as message me. I love people's thoughts.
