"Okay Daniel I have to tell them" huffed Janet as she tried to ignore Daniel.
"You said you would give them time" replied Daniel.
"I did and Daniel it's been a week and its going to be harder telling them as time passes" said Janet as she stated the truth.
"Just give it a little bit more time" replied Daniel.
"How much more time Daniel? I'm not going to sit on my arse when I know the truth, I can't hold it back any longer" retorted Janet.
"Just give them more time Janet" replied Daniel as he bowed his head.
"Not good enough" said Janet as she continued back on her way to Sam's quarters.
"No Janet…" yelled Daniel as he rushed after her; failing to reach her as she opened the door to Sam's room.
"Hey sweetie, how you feeling" asked Janet softy as she sat down on Sam's bed.
"Janet there's no need to talk like that I'm not fragile I'm not going to break" laughed Sam.
"Sorry after the week I've had"
"That bad huh I know I haven't been much of a patient I've practically ignored you"
"I understand you needed time, but I need to tell you some stuff, is the colonel around I think he should be here" asked Janet.
"He just went to get some jell-o and some cake, why is something wrong?" replied Sam as she looked at Janet seriously.
"I just have some things I need to discuss" said Janet cautiously.
"Janet…" replied Sam as she could feel something wasn't right. "What's wrong, please tell me" demanded Sam as her eyes started to mist.
Bowing her head as Janet attempted to get her emotions under control before she looked up and began. "While you were in surgery there was some damage from the bullet, quite a lot of damage actually, I only just saved your life, it was a real mess…when I took the bullet out there was a tear in your womb, and I really hate having to say this I don't know if you will be able to conceive again…" replied Janet.
"Janet… please tell me everything don't hold back" said Sam as she took Janet's hand.
"I repaired as much as I could but from where the bullet entered, it killed the baby and damaged your womb to the point it may never heal properly, at least not with our medical resources, I'm so sorry Sam I wanted to tell Jack as well, kill two birds with one stone if you know what I mean" said Janet as she looked up at Sam.
"I know, ill tell him" replied Sam.
"Tell him what" asked Jack as he walked into the room carrying Sam's jelly and his cake.
"That I'm tired of being here and I want to go home" lied Sam as she smiled at Jack.
"Ah now your sounding like a real patient" laughed Jack.
"Yeah reminding me of my favourite colonel that loves his needles" laughed Janet as she watched Jack sit further away and slide a pillow beneath his bottom.
"I love you doc you do wonders" smiled Jack.
"Yeah yeah they all say that" replied Janet as she stood up and looked at Sam. "When the time is right Sam" said Janet as she walked out.
"When the time is right" Sam repeated as she leaned into Jack, seeking his comfort and warmth.
"Hey you okay?" asked Jack as he slung his arm around her.
"Never better" lied Sam as she didn't have the heart to tell him the news at least not yet.
"You ready to go home?" asked Jack as he brushed a loose strand out of Sam's eyes.
"Yeah but first I may need to do some redecorating, bullet holes don't go with the décor" replied Sam as she looked up into his eyes.
"Anything you want Sam" smiled Jack placing a soft kiss on her forehead.
"How long until Janet lets me go home"
"Ah I think she is just getting some things sorted so about an hour I think she said she wouldn't be long"
"Good because as strange as it sounds I'm sick of looking at grey walls all the time, I need to see some colour"
"Don't we all, look why don't we after we go home head to the cabin just the two of us for a week or so, fishing, swimming, hiking" offered Jack as he looked back down at Sam.
"Fishing without the fish you mean" smiled Sam.
"Yeah you could say that but it will be just the two of us come on what do you say?"
"After the month I've had as well as you I think it will do us some good" agreed Sam cupping his face as her lips met with his in a passionate kiss that lasted mere seconds but would last for an eternity.
"Sam… Sam wake up were here" nudged Jack as he placed his hand on her cheek.
"Huh sorry I must have fallen asleep" replied Sam as she opened her eyes to see the sun setting. "Wasn't it sunset when we came here last?" asked Sam as she walked up to the cabin.
"Yeah it was, but there is something even more beautiful standing right beside me" smiled Jack wrapping his arm around her waist; Sam leaned in before Jack opened the door.
"Home away from sweet home"
"I think you need to work on the delivery a bit" laughed Sam.
"Yeah thought as much, hungry?"
"Yeah what do you feel like?"
"Pie?" smiled Jack.
"Seriously pie? No charred meat or smoke?"
"Maybe tomorrow, all I want tonight is you and I on the couch in front of the fire with you in my arms" replied Jack as he stepped closer to Sam wrapping his arms around her small frame that was her.
"I think I can do that" said Sam leaning into his embrace.
"You have something on your mind, something you're not telling me" said Jack gently, as Sam leaned further back into his arms.
"Janet gave me some news that I haven't been able to get off my mind" sighed Sam rubbing her face.
"Is that what doc meant by 'when the time is right?' you didn't look to good after she left" pushed Jack.
"Yeah honestly not the news I wanted to hear" replied Sam as a single tear slipped down her cheek.
"Wanna tell me about it" asked Jack as he tightened his embrace.
"Not tonight, tomorrow when I feel well when I don't feel like this" Sam gestured.
"Right, shower?" said Jack as he slowly sat up. "Then we can head to bed" added Jack as they now sat side by side.
"Sounds like a plan, care to join me" smiled Sam.
"Thought you would never ask" replied Jack as he picked Sam up hoisting her over his shoulder and carried her into the bathroom.
Walking slowly back into there room Sam sank down onto the bed as Jack joined her.
"What do you want to do tomorrow?" asked Jack as Sam rested her head on his chest and her arm across his stomach.
"Hiking not too much though a short walk would be nice still a bit tender" replied Sam as she looked up and into his eyes.
"How much feeling do you have back?"
"More than I thought I would get back, most of the nerves have healed but Janet did a good job" smiled Sam.
"That she did, your still here which is more than I could have asked for, you were injured so badly" replied Jack as he turned his face away from her.
"Can we not talk about this, not now at least, just hold me and never let go" asked Sam as she cupped his cheek and turned his face so she could look into his eyes one last time before she fell asleep in his warm embrace.
"Always" replied Jack as he bought her lips to his.
"I love you"
"I love you Sam" replied Jack as he hugged her tighter as nothing would dare steal him from this moment that he would never forget.
