So sick
Chapter 1- retro- virus
The infirmary was warm, but Janet was shivering. Janet was sitting in her office, hunched over paper work. She rubbed her pounding, achy head as her eyes started to slide shut, "Dr. Frasier?" Daniel was heard coming from the doorway she looked up, "What?" Janet asked sounding drugged out, janet heard this in her voice and laughed. "Um, are you ok?" Daniel asked as he looked on concerned.
"Oh yeah, I'm great!" Janet replied sarcastically and daniel's confusion grew. Janet looked up at him as she started to shiver again. "No offence, but you don't look too good." Daniel said as Janet sighed. He was right; she had bags under her eyes, her hair was all messed up, her eyes were bloodshot and she was shivering….not very healthy looking at all.
"I'm fine." Janet said simply before she started coughing uncontrollably. Daniel walked over to her and patted her back. A few minutes later the coughing stopped and janet gasped to catch her breath. "Janet, I think you're sick." Daniel stated and janet shook her head, "I'm not sick!" Janet exclaimed a little louder then she intended too.
She winced at the pain in both her head and throat. "Janet when was the last time you slept?" Daniel asked as Janet's eyes were starting to slide shut. "Uhm, I've been so busy with everything so I guess I haven't been home in uh…what day is it?" Janet asked, "The 15th why?" Daniel asked and janet sighed, she got ready to be yelled at, "I've been here since the uh, 1st." janet said as realization dawned on her, she hadn't slept properly in 15 days.
"Janet! Damn you got to learn that you have to go home and sleep! 15 days without any sleep or very little! You're a damn doctor! You know what this does to people's health!" Daniel yelled as Janet winced at the loudness of his voice.
Janet hated being yelled at about health and what she should and shouldn't do. Janet frowned as she got up and stormed out, leaving a bewildered daniel in her office.
She walked down the hallways aimlessly, she knew she was sick, but she was too damn stubborn to admit it. Sweat pouring down her face as her breathing became heavy, she leaned against a wall as she shut her eyes tightly and shook it off.
Suddenly she felt a sharp pain rip through her stomach, she put a hand at the source. She felt around her waist feeling a difference. 'Damn, I lost a lot of weight.' Janet admitted to herself. Combination of the lack of sleep and food is enough to make anyone sick, especially when you haven't really had both in 15 days.
Janet's eyes scanned the hallway which was empty as the room spun around her. Pain took hold again as she cried out, she didn't know what she had but sure as hell she was sick, very sick.
Fear took hold as Janet started to shiver uncontrollably, no matter what she did she just couldn't get warm even though she was sweating. "Janet?" Janet heard a voice, she looked up hazily at the source. 'Shit, it's sam. I don't want her to see me like this.' Janet thought as she started to slide down the smooth surface of the wall.
"Janet, what's wrong?" sam's voice sounded fuzzy as she felt Sam's hand on her shoulder. Janet pushed sam's hand away, "I'm fine." Janet said as she laughed, she was an idiot, anyone with eyes could she that she was not alright.
Janet opened her mouth to speak but instead moans of pain came from her as her eyes slid shut. She could tell sam was panicking but she really didn't care that the moment. Janet felt sam lean in closer, to get a closer look. "back away unless you're going to kiss me." Janet said sarcastically as she felt sam back away fast.
Pain hit again as janet's breath came out in sharp intakes and outtakes. Janet could tell she was hyperventilating and she felt like she was going to puke even though there was nothing in her stomach to puke. "Sam," janet whispered as Sam leaned in, "I really don't think I'm ok." Was all Janet could get out before she leaned forward and started to heave stomach acid and blood.
Sam watched in horror as her best friend heaved on the floor, followed by coughing and gasping. "Come on Janet, we are getting you to the infirmary, now!" Sam said as she tried to pick up janet. As sam got a good grip on janet's arm, poor Janet started convulsing.
Lucky for them, Daniel came running down the hallway, "Oh god, janet!" Daniel exclaimed as he helped Sam pick up the convulsing Doctor.
Moments later daniel and Sam got janet to the infirmary. They rushed her to the ER immediately.
"I knew there was something wrong." Daniel said as he began pacing, "What happened in the hallway before I came?" daniel asked Sam, who looked freaked out beyond reason because, a) She never seen thing like that and b) She most certainly never seen her best friend that way.
"Uh, I found her sitting on the floor in the hall, she looked horrible. She was pale, shaking and sweating, even though her skin felt cold." Sam said and daniel sat down. Daniel opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Dr. Warner coming in.
"This is bad! She should have known better!" Dr. Warner exclaimed as Daniel stood up, "Dr. Warner please tell me what's happening!" Daniel exclaimed as Doctor Warner looked at him seriously, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but she is very sick, we've finally gotten her to stop convulsing and dry heaving uncontrollably. She is asleep finally and she is in very bad shape. It's gonna take a while. Here's the worst part, we know how sick she is, but we still don't know what she has." Dr. Warner admitted as Daniel sighed as walked into Janet's room.
Daniel stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of Janet. She was hooked up to so many IVs and monitors. Two IVs hooked up to her right arm and hand and one hooked up to the left hand. A heart monitor and oxygen hooked up as well. Daniel walked over to her and placed a hand lightly on her hand. "Oh janet, what is wrong with you?" Daniel asked as he felt janet's fingers move.
Janet's eyes fluttered open and she looked around at her surroundings. Once her eyes locked with Daniels, she felt that nothing else in the room mattered. "Daniel…wha happen?" Janet asked her words not coming out right due to the drugs in her system, "You are sick." Daniel stated and before Janet could open her mouth to protest daniel cut in, "I'm not stupid, I know what Dr. Warner means. Only an idiot can see that you're not sick, a wise person like myself can see that you ARE sick."
Janet sighed as she felt a hand on hers, she smiled, he was warm and it seems that one touch from him made her all warm as her vision started to get fuzzy. "Daniel…" Janet whispered as she moved her hand to where she was holding his. "You're warm." Janet sighed as she pulled his hand up to her face and pressed it against her cold cheek.
Janet then kissed Daniel's palm lightly, her lips cold against his skin. "Janet, What are you doing?" Daniel asked Janet who let go of his hand, "Sorry, it's just I'm freezing!" Janet exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around her. Daniel pulled the blankets around her. "Daniel, I have no clue what's wrong with m…me" Janet's words started to stutter as she shook slightly.
"No one does, that's what these pain in the ass tests are for." Daniel said as he sighed, "I think that this is a ironic, I mean, now you're the patient in your own infirmary." Daniel chuckled as Janet smiled , despite the exploding pain that came from her gut. She gasped at the sudden pain, "I'm due for more pain meds….oh god!" janet exclaimed as Daniel yelled for dr. Warner.
Dr. Warner came in at full speed as Janet started to go into a seizer. Daniel watched as some of the other nurses had to hold her down as Dr. Warner gave her the pain meds and another drug to calm her. "Did you find anything out yet?" daniel asked as he let out a breath he never really knew he was holding.
"Yes, she's got a retro-virus, a bad one. You had it at one point too Dr. Jackson." Dr. Warner said as he walked over to daniel, "So has Carter, Teal'c and O'Neill." Dr. Warner continued as Daniel stared at him.
"Explain." Daniel simply said as Dr. Warner nodded, "Well, you got it on your last mission, it was transferred through skin contact. It cures itself with good sleep and stuff like that. When Dr. Fraiser got this retro-virus she didn't get a good night's sleep or anything like that. That's why it's doing this to her, she's paying the price for not sleeping or eating right. We need to find a cure. I already talked to Gen. Hammond and he wants you guys to go back to the planet and try to find a cure." Dr. Warner finished as Daniel looked at him with a confused look.
"Doctor, I touched her hand, does that mean I have it again?" Daniel asked and Dr. Warner shook his head, "You get it once and once only." Dr. Warner said as Daniel left to get ready to go off world. Just as he left Janet flat lined.
