Chapter Eleven

"Sorry miss, you can't go in there."

"Like hell are you going to stop me, move it or get busted down a rank or two." Jacob looked at Sam.

"Cassie," they both said. Jacob went and opened the door.

"Jacob, boy am I glad you're here. How are Jack and Sam?"

"Come on in, I'm sure Sam would love to see a friendly face."

"Sweet, ah, one problem; Jack's two guard dogs?" Jacob chuckled.

"It ok guys, this is Jack and Sam's goddaughter, Cassie Fraser."

"You're Dr. Fraser's daughter?"

"Yep."

"Sorry for your loss, if you'd shown us your ID, then you could have gone in."

"Well then, you should have asked me," then she walked in with Jacob behind her and closed the door. Cassie gasped when she saw Jack and walked over to the bed.

"Oh God," she went pale when she saw him. Jacob walked over to her, and she turned around and hugged him.

"He can't die."

"He won't Cassie; he's going to be alright." She pulled back and looked up at Jacob.

"I hope you're right Jacob," then she hugged him again.

"Cassie," Cassie looked around and saw Sam in bed, she looked tired and pale.

"Sam." Cassie walked over to her quickly and hugged her; they all could hear her crying on Sam's shoulder as she stroked her back.

"Shh, everything is going to be ok, you know what Jack's like." Cassie sniffled and pulled back and sat on the bed wiping her tears away.

"Yeah I know, how about you, what are you doing in bed?"

"I collapsed, the doctors wanted to keep me in for few days."

"Ok, I just can't believe he got shot again."

"You and me both, how are you holding up?"

"Ok I guess."

"Cassie there is someone whom I want you to meet, turn around." Cassie turned around and saw an elderly couple looking at her.

"Cassie I would you like to meet John and Jackie O'Neill, Jack's parents."

"Hi."

"Hello Cassie, it is good to finally meet you, Jack has told us wonderful things about you," Jackie said.

"Has he, well he didn't say anything about you."

"Jack's always been a closed book so to speak; he doesn't talk about his family much, he's always been like that ever since he was young."

"Ok." Then a nurse walked in with Sam's IV bag, Cassie got up from the bed and walked over to where Jacob was and watched the nurse put Sam's IV in her, while they carried on talking.

"Cassie, where are you staying?"

"I'm going to find a hotel to stay in, why?"

"Cassie, would you like to stay with John and me while you are visiting here, Jacob and the others are welcome to our home, it is a big house," Jackie said.

"Others, what others?" she looked at Sam.

"Daniel, Teal'c, Mark and the family are coming to stay for few days," Sam said.

"Really, wow, thank you."

When the nurse finished putting Sam's IV in, she walked out, leaving them alone to talk. Five minutes later Sam's lunch arrived, so the others left her alone to eat her lunch in peace.

When she finished eating her lunch, she didn't realize how hungry she was. She lay back in bed, closed her eyes and relaxed listening to Jack's heart monitor beeping.
