Chapter 14
Back at the Planet
Jack had been hit. Teal'c was able to drag him to a nearby forest to shield him for the gun fire.
Where they thought his vest had taken the hit, it missed the vest and hit his side. He was still conscious but in a lot of pain.
"Ahh...T" He said. "We got a situation here" he said, in his all familiar O'Neillism's. Teal'c ran to his side.
"O'Neill you've been injured"
"Ya think?" O'Neill said as he grimaced in pain.
Teal'c acted quickly. He pulled the med kit from his bag, and began to administer first aid.
Jack was losing a lot of blood, which had Teal'c very concerned. Most likely the shot, hit an artery. He knew if they didn't get him back soon Jack could bleed out. He covered the wound as best as he could and applied pressure.
"God Teal'c" O'Neill yelled, as Teal'c pressed down hard on the wound.
"You think you can lay in a little harder?" Jack was a lot of pain. He tried to focus on something else, that something else being how the hell, as he would say, they were going to get out of there, and how he had to get back to Sam.
O'neill grabbed his walkie. "Mendez come in, come in" all he got back was static. No response.
"O'Neill, they took heavy fire. I'm not sure they are ...' and before Teal'c could finish his sentence, O"neill cut him off "Teal'c unless I see dead bodies they are alive" he said.
Teal'c just gave him that all familiar nod. He made sure Jack was as comfortable as he could get. He gave him a weapon to make sure he was armed.
"I wil go investigate the gate, O'Neill" Teal'c said. He had to go see what he was up against. "Roger..." Jack said, holding on to his side for dear life.
Teal'c knew he had to get Jack out of there soon. The blood loss was great, and Jack didn't have much time. Teal'c made his way through the forest, and stealth as he could. When he reached a clearing he crawled on his stomach, and tried to get a view of the gate.
The gate was guarded with soldiers. Where they thought this planet was friendly, things changed quickly. Teal'c had no choice but to crawl back, and head to Jack.
With the gate guarded that heavy, there was no way, he can take out on all those soldiers on his own.
Back at the SGC
They had stabilized Sam. Janet was able to stop the contractions. But it was Sam's emotional state that she was most concerned about.
"Janet..." Sam called out. She was groggy and disoriented.
"Hey...hey take it easy...I need you to lay down" she said, as Sam tried to get up.
"Janet...please tell me that was a nightmare, and that Jack is o.k." she said, not caring she just used his first name in public.
"I'm sorry Sam. We haven't heard anything yet. We've tried to dial the planet again only to take on fire." Janet said. She could see the dismay and desperation on Sam's face.
"Janet...I...I can't lose him, ...I can't do this alone..." Sam at this point was hysterical. Janet made eye contact with the nurse. She knew she had to try to calm Sam down.
"Sam listen to me. You know Jack is the best solider out there. They might just be taking cover right now. You have to try to stay calm. I was able to stop your contractions, but you need to stay calm. Please Sam" Janet tried to convince her.
Sam just sat. She looked down at her belly, and just started to rub her hand on it, back and forth. She knew Janet was right. Suddenly as if on cue, Sam disappeared in a white light.
ASGUARD!
"Thor" Sam said quickly. He had beamed her right into their medical facility.
"Major Carter..we came as quickly as we could. We can see that both you and fetus were under distress. I see your doctors were able to assist with that. But we needed to make sure" he said.
"Thor..please listen to me. The Colonel is in danger. They went and visited a planet, thinking they were going to trade and negotiate, but its turned to what sounded like a blood bath. Please Thor, we must go rescue them. I cannot have this child without him." She stressed. She knew if anyone could rescue Jack it would be the Asguard.
"Yes we have been monitoring his location. We wanted to reach you first. The child you carry will soon be born, and may the very answer to our almost extinction. You understand why we needed to retrieve your first?" he said.
"Yes of course..but...i'm ok. Thor. Please...just...just get to Jack...please..." she said, with desperation in her voice.
"I will try to gather his location. But please remain here. Although your doctors were able to stabilize both you and the fetus, you are not at full strength. I will return once I have further information" He said.
Sam knodded. As she laid she started to think back, at her time with Jack on P3R-118. Although they were being kept captive, memories erased, she smiled at the thought of her time with him then. It's where this all started. She placed her hand over her belly, tears just running down her eyes, "Please Jack..please don't leave us...I need you, we need you, I love you" she said as she began to cry. She looked out the Asguards ship window, hoping fate would just throw her and Jack a bone, praying Jack would return to her.
Thor walked over to the console. Since they were monitoring Jack as well he was able to retrieve his coordinates. Thor paused. As they reached the planet he can tell that Jacks' vital signs were weak. But he didn't want to alarm Sam in her current state.
"I have pinpointed his location. But there seems to be some sort of shield protecting the gate and its surrounding areas. I will try to accommodate to their parameters" Thor said to the other Asguard on the ship. Thor just hoped he wasn't too late.
