A/N: To "Vampirehelsing": I was planning on pairing Janet and Daniel. And I'm doing it in this chapter.
To "Nyrocat" it's better that you read this chapter. It's sad but important. Plus I think the chapter next to this one will be sad too.
Thanks to everyone that reviewed and for all those "silent" reader let me know what you think. I appreciate constructive reviews :) .
This chapter has a few spoilers: "The Gamekeeper" and "Family". Nothing major. I hope this is good. This chapter is sad and "painful".
Chapter 10:
Jack dropped the phone and rushed to the door.
- Jack wait. What's wrong?
- Sam's in the hospital.
- What happened?
- I don't know. Just drive me there please.
Jack was shaking. You could see the panic in his eyes. He was terrified of the idea of something happening to Sam or their kid.
The ride to the hospital was made in silence. Jack just sat there with a blank look in his eyes. Daniel and Teal'c exchanged glances but decided not to say anything. They had never seen their friend like that.
They got to the hospital and Jack left the car before it came to a complete stop.
- Jack be careful.
But he didn't even listen to Daniel's advice. He just wanted to see how Sam was doing. Nothing else mattered.
- Janet.
- Jack. There you are.
Janet and Cassy were there. They had both been crying. Their eyes were red and they were both shaking.
- How is she? Were is she? What happened?
- Colonel O'Neill?
- It's me.
- I'm Doctor Rosanne Wilson.
- Is Sam ok?
- Well, she suffered some lacerations and has a broken arm. Other than that, yes. She is fine.
- Thank god.
He looked at the doctor. That wasn't all she had to say. He could tell.
- What is it doctor? The baby…?
- I'm so sorry. We did everything we could do.
Jack began to cry.
- Thank you for saving Sam.
Doctor Wilson just nodded.
- She is still asleep but you can go see her if you want to.
Jack nodded.
Daniel and Teal'c had arrived a while ago. They had heard the doctor say that Sam had lost the baby. They had also seen Jack break down and cry.
- Jack. I'm so sorry.
- Thanks Danny. Teal'c. I'm going to go check on her.
- Jack. – Janet's voice was weak. It was barely above a whisper. – You should try to calm down first. It will be very difficult to Sam. We have to be strong for her.
- You're right. I'm going downstairs. I need some air.
After Jack left, Daniel sat down next to Janet and put his arm around her. She let her head rest a bit in his shoulder.
- What happened?
- It was horrible.
FLASHBACK
- Just checking. Bye. Drive safely.
- I will.
- Sam look out.
But before Sam could do anything a car hit her. She screamed in pain.
Janet rushed to her side.
- I'm sorry. I couldn't stop. I tried but…
- Just call 911. Tell them that a pregnant woman was hit by a car. She has a broken arm and is bleeding from several wounds.
- Pregnant? Oh, god. I'm so sorry.
- Just make the call.
Sam was unconscious.
- Come on. Wake up. Sam Come on. – The panic that Janet was feeling was showing in her voice and in her eyes. Well, it was shoeing in every movement she made. She was shaking. – We just called an ambulance. Just hang on. It's going to be Ok.
Cassandra heard the noise and came out of the house to see what had happened.
- Sam. Mom what happened?
- A car hit her. Cassy it's all going to be ok. Calm down sweetie.
- Ok mom. – Cassy was afraid. Sam was like a mother to her. Sam had saved her life and now there she was. Unconscious and bleeding and there was nothing she could do for her. She felt so helpless.
The ambulance arrived and took Sam to the hospital.
END OF FLASHBACK
- It was horrible. I couldn't do anything for her. I'm a doctor and I couldn't help. She just laid there in my arms. I thought she was dead when I saw her lying in the road. She didn't make a movement, a sound nothing.
Janet was crying harder now. She was also trembling. Daniel hugged her and kissed the top of her head.
- It's ok. You did everything you could do. Just cry it out. I'm here honey. I'm here.
Janet remained with her head against Daniel's chest. Daniel started thinking about his parents. About how awful it had been to see them die. He thought about how helpless he had felt. And he thought about the guilt. Yes, the guilt. He had felt guilty for his parents' death for years. He did know that there was nothing he could have done to prevent that but still the guilt was there.
- It wasn't your fault you know?
- Yes I know.
- Good. Cassy are you ok?
The young girl just nodded.
- I want you two to know that I'm here for you.
- I am here for you too.
- Thank you Daniel. Teal'c. But we aren't the ones that will need support now.
- Yes you are. We all need support now. Sam is like a sister to me and Jack is my best friend. I feel like I lost a nephew.
- So do I. – said Teal'c. Teal'c had been quite for a while. He was thinking about Rya'c and how awful it had been when he almost died. He had gotten the chance to know Jack O'Neill and Samantha Carter well. He knew how much this baby meant to them.
- You're right. I'm glad you are here.
Just then Jack arrived.
- I'm going to go see her.
- Ok. Jack. I'm so sorry. I…
- Janet it's ok. It isn't your fault. – Jack had sensed that Janet was feeling guilty. He knew his friend well. – I'm sure you did everything you could do. Bad things happen.
Janet just nodded.
As Jack entered the room he noticed that Sam was awakened. Her bed was the only one I the room. Jack thanked god for that. He knew that the conversation that he was going to have with her was too personal to be had with other people in the same room. The room also had a window. Sam was looking at it. The sun light was the only one illuminating the room. Sam looked great. Even though she had a broken arm and some lacerations.
- Hi sweetie.
- I lost the baby didn't I?
Jack sat on the bed.
- I'm sorry.
She started to cry and Jack hugged her.
- Look at me. – She continued to avoid doing that. – Please.
She finally looked at him. She was crying. Her eyes showed an empty soul.
- We are going to get throw this together.
Jack looked at his eyes. She saw the concern in them. She also saw love.
- I love you Sam. Never forget that.
- I love you too.
Sam feel asleep again in Jack's arms. He staid with her the entire night. Making sure she got the rest she needed. He hugged her and calmed her down when she waked up screaming. He hardly slept. He didn't want to let her out of his sight. He wanted to make sure she was safe.
TBC
A/N: I'm sorry for this chapter. I had my doubts either to kill the baby or not but this does have a goal. I promise to bring back the romance to this story in a chapter or two. I know that this takes this story into a whole different direction. R&R please. Oh and don't worry No more killing (There will still be some pain in the next chapters but there will also be healing). From now on I'm on my way to a happy ending.
