I watched her go. She left me stormed out the door screaming at me as she got into her car. Burning rubber as she made her way out of the driveway. The whole time she kept screaming about how much of an ass I was.

I was; I know that now. If only… if only I wasn't such an idiot.

"Jack, are you here?"

I watched as she made her way down the street. Not a care in the world about the speed. She always had a knack for speed; it always did bring 'that' smile to her face.

I watched her go and I didn't try to stop her. I always knew that one-day the speed would be too much. At the moment I watched her go I hoped it was then…I was so bitter.

"Jack…"

It was my fault. I know that now. I was being overbearing; she was right. She always was right …

"Jack…"

I'll see you again soon.

"Oh my god!"

I know I was wrong. Please believe me when I say I am a different man because of you. Please forgive me…I need you.

"Jack what have you done!"

The guilt is eating me alive. I know the words I said stung; I should have believed you. If only I had listened. I never should have said what I said. I have a funny way of saying I love you.

I never did say it enough.

"Give me Dr. Lam!"

I know now. If only I knew then what I know now.

I drop the phone. I see that there is nothing that can be done I'm to late. We're all too late. This can't be happening again. We just lost Sam.

God why did he come here? Of all the places he could have come to kill himself; he came here. "Damn it! Why did you come here Jack?! Why did you come here?! God she would have wanted you to live." I look around the room for something to throw; but I can't throw anything; it's all we have left of Sam.

"You are such an ass! You were always such an ass! Only thinking of yourself." I can't stop the tears that run madly down my face. I can't take this shit.

First Sam dying 3 days ago: a terrible car accident; car flipped over an embankment on the way to the mountain. They say she died instantly; now Jack and a bottle of F'ing pills. "I know she was important to you Jack but you survived after Charlie!"

I look down and see something in Jack's hand. Curious I pick it up, photo paper. "O'Neill." I read the back and I look at my watch. "Taken 4 days ago." Wiping more angry tears from my eyes I flip the picture over. Shock takes over my body. "Oh god. This can't be…this can't be." I throw the picture, and moving as far away from it as I can till the wall stops me as I fall to the floor.

I hear a knock at the front door but I don't move, I can't.

"DanielJackson." I hear Teal'c enter but say nothing. My voice doesn't work; every time I open it only sobs come out. Teal'c sees where I am looking. I can't help but let another sob escape with more tears as he bends down and picks up the picture. After he examines the picture he looks over at me.

"What is this?"

"It's a picture." I can't believe what I am about to say. "It's a sonogram… of Jack and Sam's baby."


This came to me while playing a tennis match (seemed like a good time for a plot bunny to attack). The song 'Death Day' by Alien Ant Farm kept playing through my head and this came out of it. As always don't be a stranger to the review button...please.
