"Missing Angel"
Chapter 9
"Hey Sam," Jacob said as he took his daughter's hand and sat next to her bed.
"Hi Sam, I just found out what you really do and I'm so proud of you. What you do is extrodinary and these people they need you too, Sam. Please wake up."
"I'm sorry about making you hate me and the military. I kept all of us from being a family for so many years," Jacob apoligized, "I'm sorry, Mark."
"Dad, it's okay really."
"No, it's not. I haven't told you everything yet."
"What else?"
"Before Sam and I came to visit you and your family, remember?"
"Yeah, you finally visited."
"A few months before that I was told that I had cancer."
"Dad! Why didn't you tell me?"
"I told Sam and I went off on her because she wouldn't tell me about what she was doing. See General Hammond invited me to her and Colonel O'Neill's ceromony the president was suppose to give them an award. Anyway, on my death bed, George pulled your sister from a very important assignment and suddenlly I had been cleared. They offered me a cure for the cancer."
"A cure? What? Experimental?"
"I was joined with an alien symbiote called a Tok'ra. This Tok'ra is named Selmak, who healed me."
"How?"
"Well it was sort of a trade off."
"A trade off? How Dad?"
"Selmak keeps me well and I live longer than usual, in exchange I let Selmak use me to talk when needed."
"Dad, that's...weird!"
"But it is true, Mark Carter," Selmak greeted Jacob's son. "Do not be afraid."
"It's not so bad, Selmak keeps me company," Jacob told his son.
"What about Sam?"
"What about her?"
"Can we do the same thing?"
"Sam wouldn't want it."
"Yes she would!"
"No, she would not," Daniel interrupted. "Sam has told us before she would not want to be re-joined."
"Re-joined?" Mark asked.
"She had been joined by a Tok'ra once against her will, it was an emergency situation, but the Tok'ra was severely injured by a bounty hunter.The Tok'ra, Jolinar, gave her life to save Sam. The Tok'ra sort of melted into Sam's body, she retains some memories and a protein marker."
"Why would Sam not want it?"
"Mark, Daniel just told you why."

"General, I'm afraid the information that Aris Boch offered did not help me at all. I'm afraid that we will have to take Sam off the life support systems as in her living will," Janet Frasier reported.
"How long would she have if we turned it off today?" Hammond asked.
"Not long, now she seems to be alittle better than yesterday, maybe a day, sir."
"If we keep her on longer could she get better?"
"There's about a ten percent chance."
"I see. We will disconnect Major Carter from all systems in the infirmary except the heart monitor and IV units."
"Yes, sir," she answered sadly.

That day passed very quickly, and no one was told that Sam Carter's wishes were to be obeyed that very day. General Hammond rounded up the members of SG-1, Doctor Frasier, Cassie, Jacob, and Mark. "I've gathered you all here today because we are going to obey Sam's living will. We will take her off everything except the heart monitor and IV units."
"What?!" Mark, Daniel, and Jack said in unison. Jacob and Teal'c seemed to know it was coming.
"No!! Please!" Cassie yelled before crying into Jack's arms.
"It has to be done!" Hammond said. "Doctor Frasier."
Janet Frasier took one last look at the sad and unhappy people around her. She disconnected her best friend from the respirator. She was still breathing, but barely. Her heart rythm was slow. Everyone stayed though, just glued to Sam and the slow steady beat of the heart monitor.
