Here's the next installment! Enjoy!
2005
They set a date. Sam and Joe set a date. Daniel told him.
"What?" had been Jack's reply.
"They set a date for their wedding," Daniel repeated.
Jack could feel his heart start beating faster as all the rushed to his head. "She did what?"
"Jack - try to be happy for her."
"Happy? How can I be happy that she's making the biggest mistake of her life?"
Jack threw a chair across the room. Underneath the anger, Daniel could see the hurt behind his eyes. He left without another word.
Jack couldn't believe it. He never thought it would go this far. Maybe it was some sort of mid-life crisis or something, he'd thought. Apparently he was wrong.
He had half a mind to call her and tell her she was making a huge mistake, but he knew that more harm would come of that than good.
He thought he knew her, maybe even prided himself on it. But now - he realized he didn't know her at all. Maybe she was different then because he was her C.O. Maybe she was different now because the Stargate program was more or less disbanded. He didn't know the reason, but he knew she had changed. And he didn't like it. He didn't like it at all.
Now, not only did he miss Sam - the person, but he missed Sam - his second in command. He never thought he'd miss everything that went along with that, but he did.
If they hadn't found the Aschen in the first place - maybe it could all could go back to the way it was. Maybe they could go back to the way they were. Their feelings locked in that stupid room, never to escape for fear they would have to face the consequences. For fear they wouldn't mind that consequences. For fear that everything would work out. It was fear that had gotten them into this entire situation in the first place. And he wished he could go back and change it.
