Chapter 2

Captain Doctor Samantha Carter walked through the halls of Cheyenne Mountain Complex. The one and only thought that was going through her head was that Daniel had been right about everything, about the pyramids, and about everything else. She felt a gut wrenching feeling in her stomach about that fact that she could never apologize to her brother about not believing him, about not supporting him in his time of need. Now he was gone, she didn't know where but she hadn't heard from him in over a year and now all she could do was try and in a way keep his research going by joining the program that proved her brother right.

Sam was sitting in her lab when she was called up to the briefing room. As she got there she heard a male voice say Daniel Jackson and her heart stopped, her feet stopped and she felt sick. When she heard her name she walked in and during the whole meeting she could only think about one thing "My brother is still alive, he's on another planet and I thought he was dead." As soon as the meeting was over and she was put on the team that was going to retrieve Daniel she rushed to her lab to calm down and get ready for the mission.

Meanwhile on Abydos

Daniel Jackson was sitting in the pyramid waiting for Jack and the rest of his team to come through the gate. Skaara walked in and sat down next to him with a bowl of fruit and handed it over to him. "So O'Neill is returning to Abydos?" he asked looking a little excited.

"It seems so, they probably found out what actually happened and they're coming to take me back to earth." He said as he took a bit from the fruit Skaara had given him. It wasn't like he would hate going back to earth, but he had built a life here with Skaara and Sha're and the rest of the Abydonian people, he didn't want to go back. Then something occurred to him, he'd be able to see Sam again. He still felt guilty about not being truthful about where he was going.

Back on Earth

"Captain?" Jack said looking at his new 2IC.

"Don't worry colonel. I won't let you down" Sam replied looking away from the event horizon of the Stargate in awe.

"Good. I was going to say ladies first." He replied with a smirk and looked back at the Stargate.

"You know, you really will like me when you get to know me." Sam said with a smile.

Jack looked at her in slight surprise, he never expected her to day something like that but he did what he always does and replied "Oh I adore you already, Captain" and he pushed her through the gate.

On Abydos

Sam stumbled through the gate a found herself in a pyramid with a group of men pointing guns at her and the other members of the team she had come through with. Colonel O'Neill was standing next to her when she heard the one voice she never thought she would here again, she looked up and there right in front of her was Daniel.

"Daniel." Colonel O'Neill said walking down the steps.

"Hey Jack, long time no see."Daniel replied not noticing Sam yet. Jack walked right past Daniel and embraced Skaara, that was when Daniel saw Sam standing right in front of him. His jaw dropped and was about to say something when Sam beat him to it,

"Hi, my names Captain Doctor Samantha Carter, I've heard a lot about you Doctor Jackson." Sam said shaking his hand and squeezing it briefly to let him know that they would talk later. Daniel gulped slightly and said,

"It's nice to me you Doctor." Once everyone who had been on the original mission finished speaking with people they knew they gathered around the fire and started eating. Sam excused herself and walked along the corridors of the pyramid when she heard someone cough behind her. She didn't turn around she knew exactly who had followed her.

"I told you I wasn't crazy" Daniel said as he walked into the chamber and stood next to his sister. Sam didn't say anything at first she just looked at him.

"I never thought you were crazy, maybe a little imaginative but never crazy. And you know what the worst part of all this is?

"What?" Daniel asked a little afraid of the answer.

That I keep thinking this is a dream. I keep expecting to wake up and find myself asleep in my bed, and that my brother is still dead, but no here I am on another planet with my brother who I thought was dead!" Sam's voice began to rise.

"I wanted to tell you, you have no idea how much I wanted to tell you." Daniel said trying to calm her down. He put his arms around her and pulled her into a hug and despite how much Sam wanted to yell at him she gave in, into the hug that she hadn't had for over a year. They stood like that for a few minutes then broke apart and sat down on the stone slab.

"So, you got married." Sam said wiping her eyes and laughing.

"Ya, I did and have you married Hanson yet?" Daniel asked curious. Sam's face darkened a looked away then back at Daniel.

"No, I broke off the engagement about a month before the wedding, it turns out you, dad and Mark were all right about him, he was no good." She said bluntly.

"Oh Sam, I'd say I'm sorry but I really hated the guy."Daniel said giving her another hug. "So what do ya think, should we get back out there before someone comes to find us?" Daniel asked standing up.

"Sure, but just one last thing no one should know that we're family okay; I think it would be best if only Uncle George knew for the time being." Sam said looking at Daniel.

"I was actually thinking the same thing to be honest." Daniel said looking relieved that they were on the same page. They went back to the party in better spirits than either had been in quite some time.

After the mission: On Earth

Sam and Daniel were sitting in Sam's living room; Sam was trying to cheer Daniel up after everything that had just happened on Abydos when the door bell rang. Sam stood up and went to answer it, as she opened the door there stood Major General Hammond.

"May I come in?" he asked looking more like their 'uncle' than boss. Sam nodded and led the way to where Daniel was sitting. George sat down next to Daniel and put a hand on his shoulder."It will get better son, you just have to trust me."

Daniel looked up at him a mustered up a small smile and nodded. The three of them just sat there for the rest of the afternoon and talked about happier times, when it was nearing 20:00 Hammond made his leave. Before he left he turned and said "I hope to see you both tomorrow, if this planet needs protecting then I want the two best and brightest on the front lines." And with that he got in his car and drove away.

"What do you think will happen to Sha're and Skaara?" Daniel asked.

"I don't know but I promise you we will do everything to bring them back, don't forget they're my family to now." she said smiling and they went back into the house.

Sorry it took so long, been up to my ears in school work. Hope you enjoy:)
