Sam watched in horror as the shot from the staff weapon went into Jack's back.
"No!" She cried and turned back to the advancing Jaffa. Daniel and Teal'c had not seen Jack go down and they were slightly surprised at the energy Sam was using to kill the advancing army of Jaffa.
"Sam? What's wrong?" Daniel yelled over the noise of the fire.
"Colonel O'Neill's down go and see what he's like. Me and Teal'c can sort these out." She said and then turned her attention back to the Jaffa. The army of Jaffa sensed something was wrong and started to wonder what was happening when the air went cold. Icy cold. Everyone stopped shooting and looked around them. Sam stood there grimly and stared at the horizon. Slowly the sky turned black and lightening streaked across the sky. Then after a moment they lightening started striking the ground and the Jaffa. The torrential rain started. Daniel looked at Sam as it doesn't take a scientist to realise electricity and water is not a good combination. Sam turned to look at Daniel and looking shocked at what was happening walked over to where Jack was laying. She knelt at his side and placed her hands over his back where the blast reached his body, a piercing light appeared from her hands going into his body and the wound started to heal up and shrink in size.
"Sam? What are you doing?" Daniel said panicking at what was happening to his friend and what she was doing to another of his friends. The light started to fade and Jack coughed into the mud. Sam's head sunk onto her chest and she started to tilt towards the floor.
"Whoa!" Daniel said and moved to catch her before she reached the ground. Jack groaned as he turned over to face them.
"Sam? Sam? Come back to us Sam!" Daniel said lightly to her. Jack sat up and looked at her.
"What happened? I thought I died!" He said and then saw that Sam wasn't too good.
"What's up with Carter?" He said and moved to support her.
"I dunno. But I do know that something's not right." Daniel said and then looked over to Teal'c.
"I'm gonna go see if Teal'c's okay." He said and moved away. Jack looked down at Sam. She looked pained and unhappy, it made him think about them. The them that wasn't allowed to happen and they wouldn't let it.
"Maybe it's time to forget that regulation." He whispered to her and he could have sworn she smiled. He looked up at Daniel and Teal'c and then out at the horizon and saw that all the Jaffa had disappeared, he looked at the clearing sky and then back down at the woman in his arms. She looked so innocent. He was so busy thinking that he didn't see that she had opened her eyes. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Hey, how you feelin'?" She said and sat up looking at him concerned. He smiled back at her and answered.
"Okay, but more importantly how the hell did you do whatever you did. Even Daniel didn't have a clue and he wasn't out cold." He said jokingly.
"I'll tell you all when we get back okay, all I now is that this briefing is gonna be interesting!" She said and stood up. She turned to see Daniel and Teal'c walking towards them. She smiled and gestured towards the sky.
"Nice day today, huh?" She said and they all started walking towards the Stargate. Daniel dialled and she sent the code as usual. Then as they stepped through after Daniel and Teal'c had stepped through Jack grabbed Sam's arm gently and twirled her around to face him.
"You did hear what I said, didn't you?" He said with a quirky smile playing on his lips. She didn't say anything but three words.
"Close your eyes." She said and waited until he had done so then leant forward and placed a tentative kiss on his lips. She smiled when the kiss came to an end and then stepped through the gate before he opened his eyes. He opened his eyes to see her back go through the Stargate and smiled then followed her through.
