Thanks again for the reviews, it make my day ;)

After I wrote this chapter, I've read that USA vaccine children against the chickenpox - but the vaccine is not allowed in France (that's why I had it at 14) - For the story, people aren't vaccined either :) - Thanks :)

Chapter 26 - Chickenpox

Next night, Jack heard movement in the house, he turned on the light. When he got up, he met Sam in the corridor, who was in panic, CJ in her arms.

"Carter? " Jack asked , very worried.

"She - she has marks on the skin , sir! "

Jack grabbed his daughter to lay her down on the couch. She was still a little feverish but the more worrying was the rash. Jack picked up the phone and called Janet.

"Sorry to wake you up, Doc, but CJ has marks on the body. "

Jack hung up after a few minutes of conversation. He turned to Sam and had just the time to prevent her from falling . He put his hand on her forehead but she was scorching hot.

"Jacob ! " Jack cried.

The man came running.

"Watch after CJ a moment, I'll carry Carter to bed. She feels faint ."

"We really have interesting nights with you , Jack " Jacob said , smiling.

"You know me, I hate that my guests get bored ! "

Jack lifted Sam and carried her into the room. He covered her and prepared medicines. He then went back to his daughter.

"So ?" Jacob asked.

"CJ has chickenpox , so nothing serious but if Carter caught it too, we'll have fun..."

Jacob frowned.

"Jack, chickenpox is mild for children but can be lethal to adults. "

"But she would have already got this sickness. Then, she must be immune in this case! "

"My daughter had chicken pox, I don't know about her. Additionally, in rare cases , you can get it twice! "

"That's exactly what I was saying , we'll end up confused and it could kill her! "

Jacob put his hand on Jack's shoulder, forcing him to calm down.

"That has nothing to do with. This case isn't our responsibility. "

Jack ran his hands over his face .

"Yes, it's true , sorry ! "

When Sam regained consciousness , she confirmed that she had not had the disease as a child. She didn't fail to notice the look that the two men exchanged.

"What?"

"Nothing," Jacob said.

"Well, almost nothing actually but you seem to have pimples too ..." Jack said, pointing to his own neck with his index finger.

Sam tried to get up but she was too weak for that. She leaned back.

"Gee, I 'm really going to be a burden to you, sir, I feel drained out of my strength. "

"So relax, no one will leave for the SGC in the coming days . "

CJ urged to sleep near Sam but her condition worried Jack and Jacob, while the little girl seemed to be in great shape. On Fraiser's advice, Jack gave her baths with a special solution to dry out pimples but nothing was effective for Sam.

She was too weak to stand and even less to take a shower. She also found difficulties to eat because her mouth and throat were covered with pimples . Her condition worsened by the hour.

"And the Doc can't come! " Jack sighed in the hallway. "I don't know how long she will survive with this illness. "

"Would Fraiser allow Teal'c to leave ? "

"Why him? "

"Because I guess he remains immune to human diseases, even without symbiote. He could provide stronger medications and even the Goa'uld Healing device. "

Jack thought for a moment.

"I'll call and ask , I guess Fraiser may consider the matter."

After a long deliberation, the doctor agreed to release Teal'c . She gave him everything that the general had asked . Janet was worried about Sam because the symptoms described by Jack were really worrying. At this stage of the disease , the patient should be hospitalized at the SGC, under her care.

Teal'c promptly arrived at his friend's place , with a briefcase containing the healing device, as well as drugs.

"Dr. Fraiser explained me how to do injections to Colonel Carter. She said that if tomorrow morning her condition had not improved, then you would be allowed to use this, Jacob Carter" the Jaffa explained.

Everyone nodded and Jack asked Jacob to leave the room with CJ. The General realized how he refused to let another Carter die, both for him and his daughter. How to survive it, not after his son and his second wife ?

Teal'c injected the medications required by the doctor and a long waiting began. CJ was allowed to stay beside Sam, while Jack had decided to spend the night, on a chair in the room. Teal'c and Jacob went to fend for the night.
