Chapter 4
“WHAT!?!?” Jack and Sam exclaimed at the same time.
“That’s what the machine was designed to do and the writing I translated so far on the wall reads: ‘two become one’.”
“Oh, that’s just peachy. Does the General know?”
“I do now,” came from the doorway. Every one turned to see General Hammond walking into the room and over to the bed.
“Colonel, Major, it’s good to see you both awake.”
“Thank you Sir. This is weird.”
“I know. I’ve spoken with the President about this. Even he is shocked… What can you tell me about what happened after you ordered the rest of your team, SG2, Dr Coombs and Dr Felger back through the gate, Colonel?”
“The humming was getting louder, and then I felt like my insides were going to pop out. There was a pins and needles feeling all over my body. I felt tired. I couldn’t move. Then there was an explosion and I lost consciousness. Then I woke up here.” Hammond nodded then turned to Sam.
“The same thing happened to me, Sir. It was like Nirrti all over again but different.” Then he turned to Janet.
“How long are you going to keep them here, Doctor?”
“I would like for them to stay until tomorrow. If they are both fine then, I’ll be releasing them.”
“Very well.” Then he turned Jack and Sam.
“Until I can get things sorted out, both of you are to remain on base.”
“Yes, Sir,” they both said.
“General, what’s going to happen to SG1?” Daniel asked.
“I don’t know, Doctor Jackson.”
“Sir, I would like to return to the planet, to finish my translations, so I can know more about the device and what else it can do.”
“Take SG4 with you.”
“Thanks, Sir.”
“You and SG4 will leave within the hour.”
He turned back to Jack and Sam to see them looking at each other. Then he looked at Teal’c, Daniel and Janet to see that they were also looking at them. The he turned and walked out the door and back to his office.
“I’m going to go back to my lab, and sort out some things before leaving. I’ll see you guys when I get back.” Daniel turned and walked out of the room.
“I am going to the gym for a while.” Then Teal’c was gone. Janet finished removing the last of the machine and IV connections from them before she left them alone.
“Sam, I didn’t know you looked so hot when you were younger.” Sam flashed him one of her 1000 megawatt smiles.
“Well, you look hot yourself, Sir.”
“Really?” he asked with a grin on his face.
“Yes. I’m still shocked by everything that has happened.”
“I know what you mean!” He looked around and noticed that they were alone. He sat up and got out of bed.
“Nice! No bad knees and back.”
“That’s good to know.” He stepped over to her bed and looked down at her.
“I don’t know why, but I need… I want to touch you, Sam.”
“Same here.” She moved over and lifted the blankets back.
“Ah, there’s no room… I know a better place.”
He held out his hand and she took it. Then she got up out of the bed, and stood so they were standing face to face. He leaned forward and kissed her, and then they wrapped their arms around each other until they had to break for air.
“Wow that is weird.”
“Indeed.”
“Come on.” He stepped back and held onto her hand, and then they walked out of the Infirmary and managed to make their way to the VIP rooms where no one saw them. When they walked into the room, they again hugged and kissed.
“I want you, Sam.”
“I want you, too, Jack. Make love to me.”
His smile got even bigger. They kissed and removed their hospital clothes, and then they got into the bed where they made passionate love three times. Then they snuggled up into each other’s arms.
“That was great, Jack.”
“Yeah. We should get dressed before we fall asleep, just in case someone finds us like this.”
“Good idea.”
She gave him a kiss before they both got out of bed, then Jack grab her hand and pulled her into the bathroom, where they showered together. Afterwards, they got dressed and crawled back into the bed and snuggled up into each other’s arms before falling asleep.
When Janet went to check on Jack and Sam, she saw their beds empty so she went to the phone and called the General.
“Hammond.”
“General, Sam and Colonel O’Neill are missing. Their beds are empty.”
”Thanks for telling me, Doctor.”
Janet then called her staff and spoke to them. She went to Sam lab and spoke to some of the SGC personnel on the way. When she got to Sam’s lab, the door was locked, so she went to Sam’s quarters, which were empty. She checked other places where she knew where SG1 normally went. When she entered the Gym, she saw Teal’c, she walked over to him.
“Teal’c, I need your help. Sam and Colonel O’Neill are missing from the Infirmary.”
“I will assist you with your search. Have you informed General Hammond?”
“Yes.”
Janet told Teal’c what areas she already checked before they spilt up. Hammond ordered Walter to tell everyone to help find Jack and Sam. By that time, personnel were already looking for them.
An hour later, they still hadn’t found them. Janet saw Teal’c and General Hammond walking towards her, they stop in front of each other.
“There is no sign of them anywhere.”
“They haven’t left the base. Where could they be?”
Janet thought about where they might be, and remembered what Daniel had said about the purpose of the machine and the looks they had given each other.
“Sir, I think I know where they might be.”
“Doctor?”
“We haven’t checked the VIP quarters.”
“I hope you’re right.”
When they reached the VIP quarters level, Teal’c, Janet and Hammond checked all the rooms until Janet swiped her card and opened a door to see the bed side lamp on and found Jack and Sam in bed snuggled up in each other’s arms sleeping. She stepped back.
“Found them,” she said quietly.
Teal’c and General Hammond walked over to Janet. She stepped aside so the General could look in and to see them sleeping together. The last time he had seen them like that was seven years before, when they found the second Stargate. He stepped back, closed the door, and then he turned to Janet.
“Now that we know where they are, Teal’c can you get them some clothes to wear for when they wake up and leave them a note? I want to talk to them both as soon as they are up.”
“I will do that, General Hammond.”
“Sir, what are you going to do about them?”
“I don’t know, but there are other problems. The NID somehow found out and are on their way here.”
“What? They have been on the base for only three hours. There must be spies here.”
“I don’t know, Doctor. I’ve been trying to contact the President, but he’s not taking my calls.”
“Just like what happened to Teal’c a few years ago.”
“Yes. I was thinking the same thing.”
“Well, Sir, we better come up with a plan.”
“I know. We have two hours until the NID are due to arrive.”
They walked away not knowing that Jack was awake and managed to slip out of bed and listen at the door. He knew that if the NID got hold of both him and Sam, they would be in trouble, so he knew he had to think of a plan. He went back and crawled back into bed to see Sam awake.
“The NID are on their way. We have two hours to think of plan and get out of here before they show up.”
“Jack, what do you want to do? I mean, we’ve already broken the rules.”
“I know. Any regrets?”
“Yes. We should have done this when we had the Broca virus years ago,” she said smiling.
“The one where you attacked me in the men’s locker room?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah, it was a shame I didn’t react to the virus at the same time you did, then I would have known what you were like and how wild you were.”
“And you too, Jack; I think it would have been great… hot, wild, passionate sex.”
“You’re talking about that is making me go hard!” He rolled them both ‘til he was on top.
“For that, I should punish you.” Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“O’Neill, Major Carter.”
“I’ll take care of it,” Sam said.
Jack rolled off Sam so she could get out of bed. She walked to the door and opened it.
“Hi, Teal’c.”
“Here are some clothes for you and Colonel O’Neill. General Hammond wishes to see you both once you are dressed.” He passed the clothes to Sam.
“Thanks, Teal’c.” She stepped back and closed the door. She turned to see Jack getting out of bed.
“We better go see Hammond.”
“Good idea.”
She put the clothing on the bed and boots on the floor. They got dressed in their BDU, and then they walked out of the VIP room and made their way to Hammond’s office.
When they got there, they walked in see him hanging up the phone. He looked up at them as Jack closed the door.
“The NID knows about you two and are on their way.”
“We know, Sir. I head you talking to Doc and Teal’c. Any luck talking to the President?”
“Still can’t get though. Sorry.”
“What about General Maynard, Sir?” Sam asked.
“I’ll try.” He picked up the phone and called the Chief of Staff. When he did get through, Hammond put it on the speakerphone.
“General Hammond, what can I do for you?”
“We have a situation, General… Colonel O’Neill and Major Carter have been turned into teenagers by a device built by the Ancients. There was an accident off world and this was the result of it, Sir.”
“Where are they now?”
“Here in my office, General.”
“General Maynard, it’s Major Carter.”
“Major, you sound strange.”
“Ya think?”
“Colonel?”
“Yes, Sir, Carter and I have been turned into eighteen year olds, Sir, and we have a bigger problem. The damn NID knows about us and is sending some of their goons here for us. General Hammond has been trying to call the President, with no luck. We think that the NID is trying to stop General Hammond from talking to him… any ideas, Sir?”
“I’ll go and talk to the President myself. Can this machine turn you back?”
“No, Sir. The control panel was destroyed by the explosion,” Hammond replied.
“Ok, I’ll go talk to the President.”
“Sir, before you go. I would like for Colonel O’Neill and myself to be transferred off SG1 for the time being, until things are sorted out.”
“Major?”
“Sir, if the NID get hold of the Colonel and myself and have some sort of orders to take us to one of their labs…”
“We are not going to be used as their damn lab rats, Carter. Look what happened to Teal’c a few years ago. No way in hell are those guys going to take us anywhere. Sorry, Sirs,” Jack said in an angry tone.
“I’ll talk to the President, and, General Hammond, give them what the Major requested.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Colonel, Major, I’ll give General Hammond a call as soon as I’ve spoken to the President.”
“Yes, Sir.” Then the line went dead. Hammond pushed a button and then looked up at them.
“If you two think up any plans, don’t tell me.”
“Yes, Sir.” Then the Stargate activation alarms sounded.
“Unscheduled off-world activation. Incoming traveller, incoming traveller.” They ran out of the office and down to the control room to see the wormhole form and the iris close.
