Note: I know I know! I'm late in updating but here it is! I've been having a hard time getting off the Smallville kick (weird too since I don't like superman)- but anyway. In this chapter I'm kinda leading the series in a direction I never really planned on- so I hope everyone likes it and isn't bothered by it. And since the 29th is my b-day some nice reviews would be welcome.  Enjoy!

Sometimes Miracles Happen

By Ans4Christ

It was one in the morning, maybe later. Jonas was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. Sleep was far from him tonight, but in all honesty he wasn't surprised. In fact he would have been more surprised if he had been able to sleep. Amy was in a coma, and though he didn't want to admit it to himself he knew what that meant. All the other SG members had fallen into a coma and within two days had died. Which means he had only two days for a miracle to happen.

He pulled himself out of bed. He couldn't stay there; he needed to move- to be able to think. He quickly got dressed and started walking down the corridors. He wandered from level to level, until he found himself in front of Amy's office. He smiled to himself; whenever he was upset he always ended up here, even when he wasn't trying.

He walked into the room and turned the light on. He closed his eyes for a moment and remembered the last time he had been in this room. -

It was the one time that Amy's office was a mess. She was leaving for Washington D.C. the next morning and she was gathering all of the things that she needed in order to properly present her research at the SGC. To say that she was nervous was an understatement. Jonas stood by the door holding a tray for a few moments and just watched her going back and forth mumbling various directions to herself. She finally happened to turn around and jumped when she saw him.

"Jonas! How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know it's time for a coffee break." He came in the room and placed the tray on her desk. "A decaf caramel mocha frappachino, for you. And a chai tea for me." He said handing her the drink.

"You officially know the way to Starbucks; I think it's about time the base let you live on your own." Amy smiled and sipped some coffee.

"Actually I went to the place that you and I always go to whenever we manage to get out of here. I wanted to surprise you and get you something before you left for your trip. Things might be very different when you get back."

Amy raised an eyebrow. "You mean you and Daniel might manage to get yourselves killed on Anubis' ship? I still can't believe that General Hammond agreed with this. I might not have been around here that long but I'm starting to agree with Colonel O'Neill- this is the wackiest idea the SGC has ever come up with."

"We have to do what we have to do." He said plainly.

"How many times do you have to tell yourself that lie in order to believe?"

Jonas paused," Around the twentieth time I start to wonder if it'll work out."

Amy laughed. "You better not get yourself killed, otherwise I'll lose my favorite pastime of driving you nuts." Amy paused." And of course I have to convince Washington that what I'm doing here is important and that they need to let me continue with my work."

"I'm sure they'll let you continue on. You've made some pretty interesting discoveries while working here."

"Yeah well- it's a very touchy issue the work I do. Religion and government do not mix. They may not even care if there is a connection anymore. I mean you know the problems that I've had here."

Jonas lowered his head. "That was just a few airmen- and they were dealt with for their behavior."

"They trashed my office Jonas- they should have been removed from the base, not just given a stern warning. It's hard when you're different. When you stand for something that not everyone else believes in. I've never tried to make people believe the way I believe, I've just asked for the right to believe it and see if I can find viable scientific connections. All I've ever gotten back is having my office trashed, my tires slashed, although that wasn't here, and my efforts blocked. But I guess that in the end I wouldn't trade it. It's worth it to be the one who stands up, you know?"

"Yeah I do- you might have had some opposition here, but you've also surprised and encouraged a lot of people. I have no doubt that Washington will want you to stay on a while longer. And if we survive this up coming mission- maybe you and I will be able to spend some more time together." Jonas added quietly.

Amy looked at him and smiled. " I think that that would be a great idea."

"Want me to help you pack?" Jonas asked quickly.

Amy nodded. " Sure- after I finish the coffee."

Jonas opened his eyes and stared at the empty office. He felt a rage building up within him. How could this happen to Amy? Of all people? How? She was kind and caring. She had faith; she risked everything even to the point of being made fun of or of having people look down on her. It just wasn't fair!

"This isn't fair!" He found himself yelling. He glanced at the desk and came across one of Amy's Bible's. " How can You let this happen?" He angrily asked the ceiling. " She trusted You, she put her career on the line for You. Was made fun of- and yet You let this happen? How? Can You answer me that? How?" he paused. " Oh sure now You're silent. I hear all these stories of how You answer in mysterious ways- or even in how we found that device from the Ancients- but now- now when I really want an answer- now You're quiet. Now You don't say anything. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Don't you think? Well I think so. I don't think that it's right or fair! But You don't care do You? I know You don't because if You did this wouldn't be happening! It wouldn't be-" His voice caught in his throat and he slid to the floor shaking with sobs.
