Author's Note: To STICKNA, reviewd me! Thank you! Okay, so I'm adding a chapter. Happy? Hope so. So, if anyone finds themselves needing a story to read you can always read my other fic that I'm getting depressed about because no one's reviewed it! It's called "Asguard to the rescue...as usual" and if it gets read and reviewed I'll update it too!



Stargate SG-1
"Missing Angel"
Chapter 10

Hours passed and the family and friends of Major Samantha Carter remained at her bedside hoping that she would wake up and continue to breathe on her own. Their were chairs all crowded around the bed, Cassie and Daniel had fallen asleep. Teal'c was the only one still standing, Jack couldn't help but look at her and hope that their hope would get her through it, Mark was holding his sister's hand, Jacob had his head in his hands, General Hammond was concentrating on the steady beats of the monitor, and Doctor Frasier was sitting between Daniel and Cassie studying everyone's worried faces. She had touched so many people, people at the SGC, people from other planets, and people who weren't in the military. The stargate had opened up a whole bunch of new possiblities and she had wanted to go through the gate and explore like a child when they enter a toy store. She seemed to be excited about at least one thing on the planets SG-1 had visited. She had found Cassandra and had been there for her. She was her best friend, and she couldn't lose her let alone Cassie or the others. When they had thought that they had lost Daniel the entire team had been devastated and they had only been together months back then, now they've had years to bond.

Finally a day had lapsed which exceeded Janet Frasier's prediction of how long Sam could remain off of the respirator. There was hope and Sam's vitals hadn't changed which was a good sign, but not a great one also. Sam's vitals would start to improve when she was getting better, but they hadn't moved. "I suppose there is a chance," she whispered.

"You had doubts?" O'Neill asked.

"Colonel, I am a doctor. I am shocked that she's lasted this long."

"She's going to get better isn't she?" Cassie asked.

"I hope so," Daniel said.

"Duh! So does everyone else," Jack said oviously annoyed from lack of sleep.

"I just meant that it's nice having a scientist around."

"You mean someone who can actually understand you?"

"Exactly and someone to be made fun of besides me."

"I don't make fun of you or Sam."

"Indeed you have, O'Neill, on several occassions," Teal'c interrupted.

"Is everyone against me?" O'Neill shouted getting out of his chair and getting smiles from everyone. "For crying out loud!"

"I'll be on your side, Colonel..." came a weak voice. Everyone turned to see that Sam Carter had woken up during the argument and her vitals had started to get better. She was smiling at the face he was making.

"Carter! It's about time!"

"Sorry, sir."

"It's okay, we're just glad you're back."

"Sam?" Mark called her attention to him.

"Mark, what are you doing here?"

"Praying that you don't die and leave all of us. That and seeing what you do, very cool."

"Of course."

"Hey kiddo."

"Hi dad."

"Glad to see you awake."

"How long have I been out?"

"Umm, well..." Janet started approaching the bed, "about three months give or take a few days."

"That long?"

"Yes."

"And we've missed you!" Cassie said hugging her.

"Yes we have!" Jack agreed imatating Cassie by hugging Sam.

"Yeah, you should have seen Jack," Daniel told her.

"We are indeed happy that you are back," Teal'c told Sam.

"So, when can I have her back on active duty?" General Hammond asked.

"Now?" Sam asked.

"No! I don't think so! At least a week of bedrest then we'll decide."

"Fine, but I'm not staying here," Sam told Doctor Frasier.

"Why?"

"Because I've already been here for three months, I'm sort of getting sick of the scenery."

"Very funny. You can be here two days and then stay with SOMEONE, you need someone with you for the other five days."

"Fine."
