Jack walked to Sam's lab to talk to her, but he found her asleep at her desk. He knew she worked too hard, but to finding her a sleep in her lab with a doohickey beside her? This made him want to take her to her room so she wouldn't be so sore when she wake up. But instead he just stood there and watched her sleep. He was lost in his thoughts when he heard a noise from Sam starting to wake up. He didn't want to get caught watching her sleep, so he turned around as fast as he could and ran down the hall.

Sam was slowly waking up when she got the feeling of someone watching her. Lifting up her head, she was surprised to see Jack retreating down the hall. Later, she walked in to the mess hall and saw Jack again. She really wanted to ask him about what happened this morning in her lab, was he running away for from her? Jack saw Sam in the mess all door and turned around and walked away quickly enough to miss the hurt expression on her face. He hated himself for making her think she had done something wrong to deserve this. But he couldn't talk to her right now, because he also hated himself for watching her sleep. He only wished they had never to agreed to leave it in the room on that day. He wanted to get to know Sam better but they came up with nothing but to leave what could be the beginning of a relationship in the damn room. So Jack was in a hurry to get away form Sam, as he ran into Daniel in the hall. He didn't want to talk to either, most of all because Daniel world know that something was up with him. But running away wasn't the right solution to hide away. What's wrong?

"Nothhing is wrong I just want to be alone right now danny boy" Jack tried.

" but Jack we always eat together when we're about the leave on a mission…" daniel argued.

"Not now." Jack said, keeping his pace.

Daniel simply stood there with his mouth open and watched the colonel walk away.

Dainel came into the mess to find Sam and Teal'c sitting at their usual table eating their breakfast, Sam digging into her blue jell-o.

What's up with Jack? Daniel asked them.

"I was going to ask you the same thing" Sam said. "I saw him run from my lab this morning and when I walk in here I tried to get to him but when he saw me he just turned around and walked away. Maybe I did something wrong, I don't know." Sam said, confusion showing on her face.

Jack made it to his office and shut the door, hoping no one would bother him so he could try to clear his head, which I had to do before leaving for this mission.

But trying to not think of something just made him think of it, and when he went all over the same thoughts once more. How many time's had they saved the world? Sam and he should be together… somehow…

No, not somehow, but just in the way they wanted, they deserved it… Then he started day dreaming of them kissing and it was just getting to the part, when he heard this name being call. Sam was standing in the door way, looking at him with a non too pleased face.

He really didn't know what to say to her but he guessed it was now or never and there was noting he could do to put it off.

"sir did I do something to you?" Sam asked looking at him confused. "when I was heading to the mess I saw you and you turned around and left as if… hell I don't know, Sam sighed rubbing her forehead. "In my lab this morning, when I looked up I saw you leaving. You walked away from me, twice now, what did I do to you run?" Sam finished pointing a look at Jack that begged an explanation. "Sam I can't do this anymore, I can't sit here and not do anything about the feelings I still have for you," Jack stood up looking at Sam. "Leaving it closed up is slowly killing me Sam. It's only getting worse."

"But Jack don't you think for one moment that it's not killing me too. You know why I broke up with pete. We can't do anything because we are still here and you are still my commanding officer." Sam said, her cheeks going red and her eyes starting to water. She was going to burst and Jack knew this wasn't good. "Sam , I was asked to take over home world security and I think I am going to take it." Jack replied looking at his hands then back to Sam.

Sam stood there staring at him when he looked up into her eyes." Sam I think it would be better for the both of us if I go. I can't sit here and say I don't have feelings for you when I do and I can't do anything about them. At least, if I leave, the situation will be less risky." Jack added.

Sam couldn't do noting else but just stand and listen to Jack. All she wanted to do was just run over to him and pull him into her arms and hug him and - well probably kiss him if he'd let her so far. But she simply could not. So she shook her head to get rid of that thought, and she heard Jack call her name again. "What Sir?" Sam finally managed to ask. "we need to start getting ready for the mission. I'll see you down by the gate." Jack sighed as he walked out of his office and past Sam's still form.

Jack was the last one to come through the grey metal blast door, ready to go as Teal'c was walking through the gate. So he was the last one to come through the gate, quite carefree until stepping on the other side. During the first few seconds he didn't understand what was going on. Only when he heard Daniel yell at him to get down, when he heard someone scream in pain and he looked around, when he saw Sam laying on the ground clutching her side, then his mind started to race.

Jack made this way over to Sam swiftly as he attempted to get her out. He could clearly see the look in her eyes that screamed for him to leave her and go to safety. "stop, just stop carter, I'm not leaving you behind." Jack tried to make himself clear, looking into her eyes, a few seconds before son intense, now loosing focus.
