It was about three AM when Jack woke up. After Sam had fallen asleep last night, he had sat there because he didn't want to wake her up. But apparently he himself had fallen asleep on the bed resulting in Sam now lying on his chest. She looked peaceful and calm, almost like all the problems of the world couldn't touch her. He spent the next thirty minutes just watching her breathe, till she suddenly started to twitch and turn. "Colonel!" she yelled and after another second she said "Jack!" and she woke up with an sudden stir and she looked really surprised and confused.

"Shhh, you were just dreaming." Jack whispered as he gave her a little hug.

"I know." Sam said flustered, suddenly she noticed that she was lying in her BED on top of Jack. "Oh sorry Sir." She tried to get up but her arm gave in and she fell back on top of him.

"Don't worry about it. Want to talk about your dream?" He asked. With a grunt in his voice when she fell back on top of him

"There isn't much to tell, it was just a nightmare." She answered his question but she immediately saw that he didn't buy it.

"I've slept near you for almost eight years during missions so I happen to know that you only have nightmares if there is something truly wrong. Then you talk to me, Daniel, Teal'c or someone else and it's over. So spill it."

"I dreamed that they told me what went wrong. They were trying to get major Charles' team out of a planet currently occupied by the Wraith. But at that time in tell suggested it were only six or seven but when they went trough the Gate together with major Wolfe's team, a lot more Wraith showed up. It was just like the time we went to extract SG-13 a few years ago and you got hit by that staffblast." She said, lifting her head off Jack's chest to see his reaction.

"That does sounds a lot alike. But I'm fine and so will Major Lorne, at least this time nobody died." He said feeling a stabbing pain when the thought of Janet Fraiser came to mind. He looked at Sam's face and saw that she had felt the same kind of pain but much worse. Tears came in her eyes and started to fall down her face and on his shirt. Jack put his hand on her face, he knew that Sam was mentally kicking herself for crying so he said: "It's okay to cry for the loss off a friend"

Sam felt his thumb wiping away her tears. When he pulled his hand back, he put it on her back and with the other hand he pulled her head back on his chest. After a moment she stopped crying and she said with a small smile: "Thanks, for being here."

"What are we going to do tomorrow? She added after a small silence.

"I don't know yet. I have heard that there is going to be a party. But first I think I'll let you work for two, maybe three hours provided that you keep your leg up. In the meantime I can do that check up and... But Sam had already fallen asleep, listening to the slow rate of his heartbeat.

It's was 9:30 when Sam woke up again. She looked up and saw Jack smiling at her. "Good morning" she said while carefully lifting her body off Jack. She sat down at the edge off the bed.

"Good morning, no more nightmares?" Jack asked slowly lifting himself up and he sat down next to Sam on the bed.

"No, I think our little talk helped. Just like you said it would. Could you hand me my crutches, I want to take a shower." She asked.

" Of course." Jack said. He grabbed the crutches and handed them over to Sam.

"Breakfast in an hour?" Jack asked.

"Sounds like a plan. See you in an hour." Sam said and she walked to her bathroom.

Jack stood up and walked towards the door, opened it and almost bumped into Jennifer and Teyla. "Doc, Teyla." He said trying to be nonchalant. He knew how it must look, him coming out of Sam's quarters in the morning. They greeted him back and he continued to walk to his own quarters. When he arrived he stepped in and closed the door.

Teyla and Jennifer looked at each other and walked straight to Sam's door and chimed the bell. Sam thought Jack had forgotten something and she walked to the door in her shorts and her USAF t-shirt, aided by her crutches. She opened the door and found a smiling Teyla and Jennifer in front of her. " Hi"she said, while she moved back to let Teyla and Jennifer in.

"What's up, I was just about to take s shower." Sam said.

"What do you mean what's up? Was the General coming out of your quarters just now?" Jennifer asked.

"That's none of your business." Sam said. She didn't want to tell them about why Jack had stayed, why the injury of Lorne was so, so devastating to her.

"Come on Sam. It's me and Teyla, you can trust us!" Jennifer said.

Well, it really is nothing but after I left the infirmary General O'Neill came to check up on me, we talked for a bit and then we both fell asleep." She said, still not telling the whole truth. "But now I really need to shower because the General is picking me up in forty-five minutes.

Jennifer and Teyla sighed, they knew Sam didn't tell the whole truth about what had happened. They said goodbye and the left her room together.

"Teyla, I know we planned to go sparring together, but my idea is to cut the lesson a little bit short and have a little breakfast in, I don't know, half an hour?" Jennifer said with a little smile after the door closed behind them.

"I think that's a great idea." Teyla said.

"What's a great idea?" John asked, with a grin on his face when he saw Teyla coming around the corner with Jennifer.

"Well.." Jennifer started but was cut off by Teyla: "Maybe we should not tell him."

"Ah come on it's me, you trust me right." John said with a small smile towards Teyla.

Jennifer wanted to speak but Teyla beat her to it. "Of course I trust you John. You know that. But it's just..."

Jennifer sighed and this time she cut Teyla off because she was taking way to long.

"We just saw General O'Neill leaving Colonel Carters room. They both looked like they just got out of bed and well they're having breakfast in about forty minutes so we decided to have breakfast too."

With a big smille John said: "Teyla you were right that is a great idea, mind if I join you?"

"Of course not, but this has to stay between us. I do not think Colonel Carter would appreciate the whole city to know about this!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thirty minutes later John, Teyla, Jennifer, Rodney and Ronon were sitting in the cafeteria. They choose the best table to overlook the rest of the place and they were able to see almost every table in the cafeteria. Sadly they were not he only ones in the cafeteria, Major Charles' team was also there as were all the people from SGC that had worked with both General O'Neill and Major Carter. They looked quite on edge as they were looking in the direction of the door. Someone had obviously blabbed, but all the people in the room were hoping that the two would finally get together. On the moment Sam and Jack entered the cafeteria everybody started talking as if they were not interested in the pair at all.
