One afternoon, when all of the teams were on Earth, General Hammond asked all SG team leaders to report to the briefing room and he included Walter. Once they were all situated, Sam looked at them and then at Jack; he gave her a small nod and she took a deep breath and began.
"What I'm about to tell you no one else must know because if people like the NID find out it could cost many lives if they took me away from here."
"Major, you know you can trust us" Ferretti said.
"I know but what I'm about to tell you is big."
"Bigger than all the Jaffa combined?"
"Yes" they were shocked at this information.
"As most of you all know, I have saved your asses in the past year without any explanation of how." they all nodded in agreement.
"You all know what happened on PYX973 with Nirrti and the Ancient machine and what she did to Jonas and me. When Eggar changed me back, he accidentally altered me."
"In what way?" One of them asked when she stopped speaking.
"I now have dreams and they come true; it started a month after Nirrti was killed."
"Is this a joke?" another team leader said, laughing.
"Jones" Jack said in his best Colonel voice and the man stopped laughing.
"Sorry sir but this sounds crazy."
"It is not you knuckle head; she saved your ass two months ago from an ambush. You should be thanking her instead of laughing" and then he looked around the room.
"Major Carter has saved most of you and your team's lives because of her dreams. Carter's dreams showed her what would happen if she didn't do something. She has saved not just your lives but the lives of rebel Jaffa, the Tok'ra, other aliens as well as you and your team's asses." Jack said, glaring them.
"Major Carter, a few months ago you stopped my team from going through the gate; will you tell us why?" the leader of SG11 asked.
"If you and your team had stepped through the gate you wouldn't have returned alive."
"Why? It was going be a meet and greet; what was different this time?" Sam looked around the room before answering the question
"In my dream I saw SG11 being killed when they reach the village and…" she started to shake and tears started to fall. Jack pulled her into his arms and then he looked around the room.
"Cannibals, they were cannibals. Carter told me about what had happened but we are not going to tell you the gory details. It was hard enough for her to tell me and I almost threw up, so I'm sure that you get the picture."
He was hold her and stroking her back; Hammond and Jack could see a few of the men starting to look a little green around the gills thinking about what could have happened to SG11.
"Hey, are you ok?" Jack asked quietly. She nodded and pulled back from him and turned to look at the others in the room.
"From now on, if you are off world and are told to return ASAP, you do it. Just get your team back here, no matter what you are doing, as quickly and safely as possible with no questions asked." Sam said.
"Is there some sort of code that can be used so that we will know that it is because of your dream?"
"Yes there is; when you hear from us the code will be, for example, 'Sierra Golf Eleven, Nightmare' then you know that you and your team will be soon in danger."
"Got that gentlemen?"
"Yes sir" they all said.
"Good; remember, no one else must know about this. As the Major said before, if the NID or the Goa'uld find out about her new abilities, they could attempt to kidnap her. All of your lives will be in danger off world if she has a nightmare and is unable to get word to me or any one else here. I know you all do a good job out there but we want everyone to return safe and sound. Understood?"
"Yes sir"
"Good, dismissed." they all left the room, leaving Hammond, Jack and Sam alone.
"Major, you did the right thing."
"Thank you, sir."
"Colonel, I want you to take the Major home and I don't want to see either of you until 0800 tomorrow morning."
"Yes sir" Sam said.
"Thank you, sir. Come on Carter; we might as well go Christmas shopping while we have a chance" they left for the locker rooms and once changed they headed to the surface. When they reached the parking lot,
"I will meet you at your place Carter."
"Yes sir."
Twenty minutes later they arrived at Sam's house. It had started to snow when they left the mountain so when Sam pulled into the driveway, she pushed the white stone to deactivate the shield around the garage and then automatically opened the two garage doors. They parked in the garage and got out of their cars,
"Which wagon do we take?" Jack asked.
"We will take mine if that is ok with you?"
"Sure, but first things first."
He walked towards her and took her hand and walked over to the door that led into the house. He deactivated the shield and opened the door and stepped into the warm house. Sam pushed two buttons to close the garage doors and closed the house door behind them.
They took their shoes and jackets off and Sam followed Jack upstairs to her bedroom and they stopped by the bed. He turned around and pulled her close to him and they kissed. They removed one another's clothes before they lay down on the turned down bed and made slow and passionate love. An hour later they were snuggling in one another's arms.
"I've been looking forward to this all morning."
"Why?" she asked, playing with his chest hairs.
"It has been a week and seeing you in your BDU's turns me on."
Sam giggled and looked up into his brown eyes and then rolled on top of him and kissed him.
"Ok, what colour, green or purple?"
"Both" he said grinning and stroking her back.
She leaned forward and gave him another kiss and then it became passionate and he rolled them until he was on top again. They made love once again.
"Gee woman; you do know how to turn me on."
"You love it, don't you?"
"Oh yeah and so do you" they kissed once again.
"We should get up and go shopping."
"Good idea; we can have some late lunch while we are out."
"Good idea."
They kissed once more before getting up and dressed before leaving to go for some late lunch and Christmas shopping.
They were in the mall, with a bag each, looking around the shops trying to decide on what to get everyone for Christmas when they came to an area in the mall where they were selling artificial Christmas trees and they walked over to check the trees out.
