CHAPTER SIX
MEANWHILE ON P3X-890...
Hanuk watched as the one called Jack began to stir, she smiled and declared," Jack is a good man!"
Jack groaned as his chest hurt and his head spun, he glanced around and spotted an elderly woman leaning over him before something cool was placed on his head. A calming voice soothed," You have a raging fever Jack and you must rest!"
Jack shook his head trying to clear the fuzzy thoughts before he moaned," My team, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c?"
Hanuk replied," Your team is safe Jack and waiting for your recovery."
Jack could not piece together one single coherent thought but he managed to mumble," Cold, cold."
Hanuk placed a hand to Jack's sweaty brow before hissing as he was incredibly hot, she shook her head and said," I must take you back to your world, they can care for you now! I have done all that I can."
BACK AT SGC...
" Incoming traveller sir."
The General swung round to face the gate before demanding," You getting a signal soldier?"
" Yes sir, It's SG1's signal sir. It must be Colonel O'Neill."
The General smiled before announcing," Open the iris and someone inform SG1!"
Sam and the others looked to the door as a Lieutenant skidded to the floor before gasping breathlessly," The Colonel...Colonel O'Neill is returning from P3X-890!"
Sam smiled before running towards the gateroom followed by Daniel and Teal'c, they waited anxiously as the seventh chevron locked in and out of the blue horizon came Hanuk with a feverish looking Jack. Sam cried out in joy before hurrying to take Jack, she gasped as she touched his head. Hanuk explained," Every man who has passed the test has had a raging fever which must be broken or he will surely die."
Sam gasped and handed Jack over to a capable medical team, Daniel watched as both Sam and Teal'c followed the team but he stayed and asked," Has he proven himself to you?"
Hanuk smiled and replied," Yes he has and you and your people are welcome any time on my planet and I will be thinking of Jack." With that she turned and walked through the gate and as it shut down Daniel turned and ran towards the infirmary.
Janet looked shocked as she laid her eyes on Jack but one look at him she ordered," Alright I need an IV drip to compensate for the fluid he's losing and I need something to bring his temperature down."
Sam watched as Janet rushed around Jack attaching him to several drips and one of her medical team mopped Jack's brow with an ice cold cloth. Janet monitor his vitals shaking her head at his respiratory rate before saying," This is not good enough, I'm going to have to inturbate again."
Daniel's feeling of joy from hearing Jack was back was fading as he watched Janet slipped a tube down Jack's neck and attaching it to a respirator, he felt himself and the others being ushered out of the infirmary.
LATER...
Janet rubbed a hand across her tired eyes before going to talk to SG1, she looked back at Jack and sighed as he was still sweating badly and even with the respirator she knew he was having trouble with breathing. She stepped outside and found two pairs of blue eyes and one pair of brown watching her, she reported," The Colonel's body temperature is way above normal but I have connected him to an IV drip to help with replacement of the fluid he's losing but since the fever is alien I don't know what I can do. He's also having problems breathing so don't be startled by the respirator, he is breathing on his own but he still needs help!"
They all nodded solemnly before going to Jack's bedside, Sam dipped a cloth in the ice cold water before dabbing at Jack's forehead. Daniel hugged his sides feeling uncomfortable in the eerie quiet that had fallen over the room the only thing breaking the silence was the methodical sound of the respirator. Teal'c watched as Jack twitched in the bed clearly feeling uncomfortable but he also watched as Sam soothed him with her soft words and knew that they were meant to be together.
A FEW HOURS LATER...
Daniel stretched his long legs and said as he saw Sam's face," Um Teal'c lets go grab some coffee or something." Teal'c nodded and they left the infirmary both knowing that Sam needed some time alone with Jack.
Sam took Jack's hand in her own and was relieved that it felt cooler but she said gently," Come on Jack you've survived worse, I mean take Antartica for an example, you were in a worse state than this and you still held on. Please Jack you have to beat this thing, we all need you, I need you and I don't want to have to lose you again!"
She squeezed the cloth and allow water to trickle over his drawn features, she traced his face with her fingers before saying," God Jack what I wouldn't give just to see you smile again and to see your eyes bright and full of life again. You wouldn't believe what happened to me when you died, I turned from a Major in the USAF to a quivering wreck and no even my father or Martouf could help me."
She slipped her finger through his and lifted his hand to her face and sighed," I need you so much Jack, I guess I was afraid of admitting my true feelings because of the regulations but god I love you, I love you so much and you can't leave me Jack. I won't let you, you have to fight and I want to be able to look into your eyes and tell you that I love you with all my heart and to be able to hold you in my arms."
She felt the cold of tears against her face as once again they slipped down her face, she laid her head on Jack's chest and prayed for him to get better and to come back to her.
