Summary: Sam tends to Teal'c's wounds. Takes place between the fight and their arrival in the Gate room.

Sam stepped into Teal'c's temporary quarters and stepped aside so he could walk past her. He sat on the bed and watched her cross the room and pull a small white box from her desk. "What were you thinking, Teal'c? Can you just tell me that? You're here to make sure that he doesn't pull any stunts and what do you do? You brawl with him for an hour." She slammed the drawer shut, picked up a towel and wet it with water from a pitcher next to the lamp. She took her supplies over to the bed and crouched down in front of him. "Look at me," she said softly, belying the tightness in her jaw and the anger simmering under her words.

"You have my apologies, Colonel Carter," he said as she examined his wounds.

Sam sighed and shook her head. She took the wet towel and began to clean his cuts. "No, it's all right. I shouldn't have left you two alone. He can be very... frustrating. He lives inside his head a lot. I should have stayed until the two of you were more comfortable with each other."

"I do not believe you have that amount of time."

Sam smiled and said, "This is going to sting." She applied some antiseptic to a cut on his cheek and he winced. "Sorry."

She took a bandage from the kit and he stopped her. "It will be fine."

"Do I have to remind you that you don't have your symbiote anymore?"

"You do not. However, I..."

"You don't want him to see you with a bandage on your face." She scoffed and shut the first aid kit. She took the kit back to the desk and shook her head. "You know, you have a lot of great qualities, Teal'c, but you're still undeniably male."

"I would hope I do not have to apologize for that."

Sam smiled over her shoulder at him. "No, you don't." She dipped the towel in the pitcher again, squeezed it to wet her hands, and walked back over to him. He stood and she reached up to run her hands through his hair. She smoothed it down, making sure it didn't look like an oil slick running off the top of his head. She twisted the ends with her fingers to give it that curl, and smiled. "I do like the hair."

"I regret I did not say the same to you." He reached up and touched her ponytail. "Long hair suits you."

Sam realized they were cupping the back of each other's heads, inches apart, and looked down at his chest. "We should probably..."

"Colonel."

Sam looked into Teal'c's eyes and cleared her throat. She touched her earpiece with wet fingers. "Yes, John, go ahead."

"Ronon's being a baby, but I'm going to make sure he doesn't leave his quarters until Keller has a chance to check him out. What say we delay his departure to Midway by an hour or so? You think Teal'c would mind waiting until then to leave?"

Teal'c simply smiled at her, betraying nothing. Sam swallowed and said, "I'm sure he could be convinced."

"Good. I'll let you know when Ronon's calm enough to be unsupervised."

"Thank you, Colonel. Carter, out." She returned her hand to the back of his head and said, "Well. We've got some time."

"It would appear so."

Sam looked down at his chest and moved her hands slightly. "You took some pretty hard hits. Are you sure you're all right?"

"Perhaps we should take the time to check more thoroughly."

"Yeah," Sam said as Teal'c bent to kiss her lips.
