"Carter," he whispered then shouted, "wake up." He waited a second, "ok that didn't work, but it was worth a shot." He blew out air and sat down. "I'm not good with this whole good bye thing. Or speeches for that matter, but you know that." He paused. "You've been really great to have on my team and without you earth would have been destroyed, oh about 20 times at least, so I'm pretty grateful for that." He looked at the floor thinking of what to say next. "Look who am I kidding? Sam you've gotta wake up. I, I need you. You get me and make me feel happier than I ever thought I could be." He paused again, "you know originally the stargate was this big ugly thing I was gonna use to kill myself, but then Daniel changed that plan, and then, then I met you and this ugly thing lead me to someone so beautiful, damn that's cheesy. I'm sorry." Jack laughed a little, "but Sam you have to pull out of this, they're gonna pull the plug pretty soon. You need to wake up." He grabbed her hand, "wake up for me, I need you, to remind me of the beauty in the world and I need to tell you something I never got the chance to tell you, actually I had plenty of chances but like an idiot I assumed I'd have another chance, but I guess now it's pretty obvious I won't get another chance so I guess I'm just gonna have to say it, Sam I like you, a lot, A LOT a lot, hell I love you, and you can't go. Do you hear me? Now I'm ordering you, Carter, you need to wake up."
"Maybe you should kiss her."
"Sir?" Jack looked up to see Jacob standing in the doorway.
"It always works in those fairytales."
"This is no fairytale."
"Jack it was a joke."
"I knew that." Jack stared at the floor awkwardly "Did you, uh, hear any of that?"
"I only heard you ordering her to wake up. Why was there something juicy?"
"Oh you know me and my juicy speeches, oh yes it was a real tear jerker with death bed confessions and what not, you know how much I love clichés like that."
"Well if you're done I'd like a minute alone with my daughter."
"Yes sir." Jack walked towards the door but stopped, "did you say something?"
A quite voice said "Don't go."
"Am I hearing things?" Jack walked to the bed.
"No I think I heard that too." Jacob grabbed Sam's hand. "Did you say something sweetie?"
"Stay." She a little louder.
"Doc," Jack called out the door. Janet rushed in along with Daniel, Teal'c and General Hammond.
"She's awake." Jacob smiled when he saw her eyes flutter open for a second then close again.
Janet rushed over "Sam can you hear me?" Sam nodded a little.
"That was a nod! Did you see that?" Jack said almost giddy. "Way to obey orders!" everyone looked up at him. "What? I ordered her to wake up."
"That's what you were doing? I was in here pouring my soul out to my dying friend and you're making stupid orders?" Daniel said shocked.
"It worked." Jack smiled.
"Yes it did. And just in time. You know how lucky you are?" Janet asked Sam.
"I should buy a lottery ticket." Sam smiled still waking up.
