A Fight For Life.
As soon as they arrived outside the infirmary they knew something was wrong. Nurses and doctors were running about, as a machine could be heard flat lining. Running into the infirmary the group saw something they had feared ever since they had left through the quantum mirror, Daniel's heart had stopped.
Janet ran over to the bed as Dr Warner prepared the defibrillator.
"How long has he been like this?" She demanded.
"How long!" she shouted as the infirmary went silent.
"Five minutes. Charge to two hundred." Dr Warner shouted placing the defibrillator on Daniel's chest then shocking him.
There was still nothing.
"Charge to three hundred." Dr Warner shouted.
"Come on sweetie you can't do this too us. Please come back." She pleaded with Daniel's limp form as Kate made her way over to her and put an arm around her, her eyes filling with tears.
Dr Warner shocked him again, there was still nothing.
"You said you were going to fight Daniel please? Don't leave me." She pleaded. "I love you." She told him bursting into tears.
Kate tried to pull Janet back.
"You're gonna be a father Daniel. I never told you that. Please baby don't die. I'm carrying your child" She pleaded, sliding to the floor in tears, Kate going down with her, her own body shaking with sobs. The infirmary went quiet, all feeling the pain that was tearing their colleague to pieces.
Dr Warner charged the paddles once more in a last ditch attempt to save the life of a man who had made an impression on them all, most of all the people in the infirmary who had been graced with his presence so often. He looked at his colleague who was now being comforted by Katherine and Sam Carter, Jack and the General kneeling by Kate. He shocked him once again…
Daniel felt himself lifting out of his body, the pain that he had been feeling drifting away. He looked around him into a white nothingness and was greeted by a familiar voice.
"It's not your time Daniel. You have to keep fighting."
He turned to see Kate, the one who had left them a year ago.
"Kate… where is this place?"
"You will find out, but not yet. She needs you Daniel and you need her. Go back to her."
"Is this a hallucination…or am I well dead?"
"Your heart has stopped. This place is what you need to see; I am who you need to listen to. You're in pain. I know that. You feel tired and weak, but she is in a lot more pain than you Daniel, her heart is heavy and her body is tired."
"Janet?"
"She is carrying your child Daniel. She is strong and she has friends to help her but you are who she truly needs. You are who she truly loves."
"And I love her."
"Yes you do. I can see it in you heart. Go back Daniel. Leave this place and go back to her and your family. You will find your way when it is your time, and she will follow. She's your anchor. If you ever feel like letting go, think of her and the love you hold. That is worth more than anything on this world or another."
"She's carrying my child?"
"Yes she is and the child is strong but Janet's growing weaker. This pain is becoming too much to bear. Stay if you will, it is your choice. Know this though Daniel, you have much to do."
"Then let me go back." He spoke once again into nothingness as heaviness surrounded him, and his fight carried on.
…"Clear." Dr. Warner shouted as he placed the paddles on Daniel's chest once again. A faint rhythm began to beat.
"Janet, I think you'd better take a look." Dr Warner told her offering his hand and helping her up off the floor. She walked over to his side to see Daniel; his eyes wide open, a small smile on his face. He reached out a weak arm and took her hand, giving it a squeeze.
"You had me scared there Dr Jackson." She told him tenderly as she sat down at his side stroking his face.
"Are you kidding?" He whispered. "How could I ever leave you?" He told her putting a hand on her stomach.
"Daniel?"
"Lets just say we have a little angel watching over us." He told her as she leaned over to kiss him.
