Sometimes Miracles Happen
By Ans4Christ
"And you're sure this isn't contagious?" General Hammond asked sternly. It was two hours later and all of SG-1 plus Dr. Frasier and minus Jonas were in the briefing room discussing the situation.
"I'm positive sir, from what Daniel and Jonas say it may be the same disease but it does not have the same contagious properties. " Dr. Frasier answered.
"Dr. Jackson can you make any sense of this?"
Daniel shrugged. " From what I can understand it is the disease from the Ancients, but because they just wanted it to effect an enemy they probably didn't want to chance it causing another plague. My guess is the only people affected are those whom come in direct contact with it when it's initially released. Apparently there was a mistake and it doesn't just affect enemies but all who come in contact with it."
"Why would the Ancients wish to have someone infected with such a perilous illness, even in a form of protection?" Teal'c questioned.
"I don't know- maybe so that if an enemy came across the information they would be dead before they could have a chance to find what they hid. Either way we must have something big here. This disease wiped out all humanity which means that the Ancients would only risk re-releasing it if they wanted to protect something that was immeasurable to them."
"That or they're a bunch of higher plane psychos." Colonel O' Neill added. Everyone looked at him. He shrugged, "Well they could be!"
"Anyway," Daniel shook his head, " I think that we need to keep pursuing this. I think we're going to find something, something big."
"Technology?" Sam questioned.
"No idea; but something."
"Get to work Dr. Jackson. And be careful. We don't know if this tablet may have a way of releasing this disease as well. I won't risk more lives being lost on this."
"Yes Sir."
"Everyone's dismissed."
Jonas went into Amy's room. He had just wanted to discuss things with Daniel before he went to the briefing. Jonas had been invited, but he wanted to take this time to spend it alone with Amy.
"Isn't there a briefing you're supposed to be at?" She asked tiredly when he walked in.
Jonas couldn't help but smile. Even when she was ill, you couldn't hide a thing from her. "I asked to be excused. Besides, I'm a visitor, I don't have to attend anymore."
"You always told me that you loved those things." She said with a smile.
"I can miss it this time." He smiled back and sat down on the side of her bed.
"You're that bored you'd rather sit here with me."
"I wouldn't want to be anyway else."
"I'm sure you wouldn't-" Her voice caught in her throat and she went into a spasm of coughing. "I hate it-when-this-happens." She wheezed out.
Fear and concern immediately gripped him, " Should I go get someone?"
Amy waved him off. "It'll pass." She faintly said through coughs.
It lasted for around two minutes and Jonas felt more helpless than he ever had in his life. For a split second he saw himself as a thirteen-year-old watching his sister die of pneumonia in the hospital. There was nothing he could do than and there was nothing he could do know. Nothing except to sit by and watch the person he cared about die.
When it stopped he handed her a small glass of water. Looking at her he saw that even outwardly she was getting worse. Her voice was weaker and her face looked paler, it appeared she had a fever as well. When he looked at her eyes he saw fatigue and weakness, yet that sparkle and strength that defined her personality was still there and in a way that gave him hope.
"I'm sorry I scared you." She whispered when her voice recovered.
He snapped out of his revere," You didn't scare me, I was just concerned for you."
She faintly smiled, laid her head on her pillow, and closed her eyes for a second. "Liar."
"I should go and let you rest." He said.
"No, I want some company. Tell me about you and Daniel; find anything else out?"
"Other than the fact that this disease isn't contagious. No."
"But how come it affected me later than the others?"
Jonas shook his head." Don't know."
Amy was quiet for a few moments so much so that Jonas thought she was asleep. He was startled when she said. "When this is all over do you think you'll go back to Kelowna?"
Jonas paused for a second at the question. "I have to. I have responsibilities there."
"Do you think you'll stay there forever?'
He pondered that for a second. "I don't know. I don't know anything beyond today."
"That must drive you crazy." She smirked.
"A little."
"You love to live the life of adventure, the life of the unexpected. You should do what'll make you happy."
Jonas felt himself trying to keep his voice steady. He knew what it was she was saying and what it was that she wanted and needed to hear. "I will."
"Good." She closed her eyes again.
"I think I should go. Let you rest." He said again.
"No. Stay with me. Please. Just until I fall asleep." She pleaded.
He paused as he gazed at her. Finally he said, "Okay. I'll stay." And so he sat beside her, and was there long after she'd fallen asleep.
So how was it? As always let me know!
