Chezza's Gate, anyone else - please ask. I'm sure Sarah will

probably say yes if you really want it that badly....after she's

recovered from the shock of course!

Author's notes (by Chezza. Just to clarify, I'm *NOT* the

author but figured I'd put something in here anyway):

Sarah's third fanfic - sequel to 'Maybe'. So if you haven't read

*that* then this won't make much sense! Please R & R!

Beta'd by Chezza. So if you spot any mistakes, don't blame Sarah

'cos they're all mine!

Okay, so I'm not *completely* naïve about women or sex, but

currently? I'm in a state of total confusion. Now what do I do?

She's awake and so am I. Do I ask her *why* we're snuggled

together? *Why* we're lying like lovers after a passionate

encounter? I mean, we're even breathing in time with each other!

How can I just lie here, knowing she's awake and hasn't yet pulled

away ? Why isn't she embarrassed to be cuddling with me? Not

to mention the fact that I now know, that she knows, that we've

been 'embracing' for the last three hours! Has something changed

between us that I haven't noticed? Does she feel something for

me which I would never have thought possible?

What am I supposed to say to her? Do I say anything at all?, Or

should I just accept that we are now a 'we'? Is *that* what she's

trying to tell me? Without saying it out loud? Or is she just saying

she wants to go back to sleep? With me? What am I going to do?

Wait a minute, let me put this into perspective. Somebody else's

perspective. What would Teal'c do? Probably nothing, he knows

for *certain* that his feelings for Sam are only that of friendship.

Okay, then what would Jack do? Nope, not going to go there. Not

only am I 'sleeping' with the woman Jack wants to sleep with, but

also being in his 'shoes'? I highly doubt we'd be sleeping at all….

What would he do if he knew about tonight? Actually, I *really*

don't want to think about that either…. Just how would I explain

*this* to him? I know, I'll just say, "Hey Jack, did you know that

while you were on watch last night, Sam rolled over and started

snuggling and cuddling with me? I thought she was asleep, but she

wasn't. She just wanted to be with me." I can already *see* his fist

slamming into my face as I finish the sentence.

Nope, there's not a chance in Hell I'm *ever* going to let him know

about tonight. Never in a million years, will he find out that I'm

lying here with Sam in my arms and her head resting gently on my

chest. With her hair tickling my cheek and her breath warming me

- inside and out. Maybe this isn't how it seems, but I'm kind of

wishing that it was how it appears. Yeah *right*, in my dreams….

Or maybe not just mine. After all, Sam *is* the one who rolled onto

me. She *is* the one who suggested we share a tent in the first

place. And she hasn't acted strangely around me. Even after all of

my embarrassing and stupid mishaps lately. Hmm, maybe I'm not

*so* far off the mark. Maybe she thinks that we *could* be a 'we'?

"Daniel, if you don't go back to sleep right *now*, I'm going to go

sleep with Teal'c. He may snore, but he's just as warm as you.

And *he* doesn't mind my cuddling. He thinks it's sweet."

Oh. Well. Maybe not a 'we' then. But we are still friends. Cuddling

cousins, maybe?

"Daniel…"

Maybe not.
