Disclaimer: Nothing to do with anything, so own nothing, so unfortunately making no money… But I really want a Stargate!
Well basically I've been watching the eighth series on and off, but I saw "Threads" and loved it, but I have to say I was quite sad when Jacob and Selmak died. They were too really cool characters. Well, one… Anyways, I hope Jack and Sam take his -their - advice! This is just a couple of hundred words on what Jacob may have been thinking in his last few moments. This is my first Stargate SG1 fanfiction attempt ever, so even though its short bear with me! Also, a thousand apologies if things are spelt wrong, I just tried my best.
We're not going to make it.
Its such a strange thought, but somehow…its ok. We've lead a good life, and a long one. I've seen and experienced things that other men never even dream of. I've been a part of that – we've been a part of that. I thought I'd died four years ago, but I was granted that little bit of extra time – and I've never been more grateful for anything in my life. We're the same like that, Selmak and I. We both came close to the edge, to the end – then we found one another, and life's been one hell of an adventure ever since.
But its done more for me than that; its allowed me to become a better man, a better father to my daughter. That's the most important thing. I came that close to leaving her forever, when I realised I didn't even know her. What kind of a father is that? Ironic really – it took millions of light-years and hundreds of different civilisations between us to bring us closer together. But hey, when has life been simple, right?
All I want is to see her happy. Its all I've ever wanted. I'm sure this Pete is a good guy, but just because I'm dying doesn't make me an idiot. She would want to be happy with him, but she never would be. Because what she really wants she doesn't think she can have. Sam! You can have everything you want… You need only reach for it.
He's retired before; its hardly going to be impossible to do it again. And didn't they have a civilian running the place before him? The SGC wouldn't just let him go after all he's done for them, Sam – so take it! Life's too short to never know. Believe me, I tried it, but you might not get the second chance that I did.
Don't be an idiot, Jack; don't you dare let her be unhappy or I swear I'll just come back and haunt you.
So much seen and done…who would ever have thought so much could happen in so little time? The Tok'ra, the Tau'ri, the Jaffa… They've come so far in eight years, and I've only been around for four of those – but will it be enough? They have to let their feuds go; The Tok'ra need to stop being so arrogant, the Jaffa so stubborn, the Tau'ri… so naïve and curious. Not everything out these wants you to find it, kids – some things you're just not mean to know.
But I'm glad. I'm glad for all that we've achieved and all there is still to find. I just won't be there to see it, is all.
Goodbye Sam. I love you.
Told you it was short, lol. Well, if you've got this far, please review.
Loadsa love, Estel xxx
