Jack, Teal'c, and Daniel sat outside the infirmary. They jumped when the door opened and Janet came out. She looked at them and shook her head. They knew what she meant and they all started to sob.
"We did everything we could."
Jack got to his feet.
"Can I see her?"
"I don't think that is a good idea."
Jack pushed passed Janet and into the infirmary. He saw other people in the room and he yelled at them to leave. They left and Jack closed the door and went to Sam's side. He grabbed her and pulled her to him. He started to cry and just kept repeating, "I am so sorry."
Sam saw from above that Jack was holding her dead body. She started crying and her mom went up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I don't want to be dead."
Sam grabbed her mom and hugged her. Her mom was rubbing her back and crying with her. Her mom didn't want Sam to be dead either and she knew that Sam had so much more to live for.
Sam heard a commotion from the SGC personnel. She opened her eyes to see what the fuss was about. The group separated down the middle and out of the group came a little boy. She recognized him as Jack's dead son Charlie. He walked up to Sam and said "my dad really needs you." Charlie pointed down at Jack who was holding Sam's dead body in his arms.
"You need to go back."
"I can't."
"Yes you can."
Charlie pulled a little blue glowing marble out of his front pocket.
"With this."
He handed the marble to Sam.
"He really cares about you. I don't think he could live without you."
"I care about him to."
"I know. You have to go back to him."
"How?"
"Just take the marble and put it in your pocket. Close your eyes and you will be returned to your body."
"What about my injury?"
"It won't be as bad as it was before and the injury will not be able to kill you."
Sam looked at the marble in Charlie's hands and then looked at his face.
"Why don't you take it?"
"It is too late for me. You can still return. My dad needs you."
Sam took the marble from Charlie and put it in her pocket. She was about to close her eyes but she had to say goodbye. She grabbed her mom and hugged her.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
She pulled away. She looked over at Martouf and the SGC members.
"I miss you guys."
"Sam, hurry before it is too late."
Sam closed her eyes. When she opened them she was in Jack's arms.
"Sir…"
Jack was surprised and dropped Sam onto the bed.
"You're alive."
He ran out into the hallway.
"She's alive."
"What?"
They all rushed into the room. Sam sat on the bed looking at them.
"That's not possible. You flat lined."
Janet went over to Sam and checked her pulse. She then looked at her back and saw the injury wasn't as bad as it appeared earlier. Janet had the guys leave the infirmary again so she could bandage Sam's wound and run some tests. Janet was sure that Sam had been dead and now she was alive. She kept Sam in the infirmary for a few days to heal and run a few more tests. Every test that Janet ran on Sam revealed nothing that could have raised her from the dead. Sam had been in the infirmary for days and she just wanted to leave. During the days that Sam was in the infirmary Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c stopped by every day to see if she was alright. Jack checked in the most.
"Can I go home, now?"
"I have no idea how you came back to life."
Sam glared at Janet.
"Just be thankful that I am alive."
"Ok fine. You can go home but I recommend someone going with you."
"I'll do it," Jack shouted.
