Daniel: Jack are you okay, What happened, how's Sam

^ I can tell something's wrongs, All the colour has drained from his face and he's shaking slightly. ^

Daniel: Jack what the hell happened

^ he just stands there not saying anything, when Janet comes out of the infirmary ^

Daniel: What happened

Janet: The infection was putting to much strain on her vital organs causing her to have a seizure

Daniel: how bad's the infection

Janet: Actually it's showing signs of improving.

Daniel: does that mean she'll be all right

Janet: It means that for Sam to get better she's got to get a lot worse

Teal'c: I do not understand

Janet: The body's way of fighting off an infection is to break out in a fever, but in Sam's case the fever could be added strain the body can't handle causing her vital organs to shut down, that is if the actual infection doesn't cause them too

^ Just as she says this General Hammond comes over ^

Janet: any luck contacting Jacob, Sir ?

G. Hammond: we dialed the Tok'ra Home World, but there was no one there. On the way back to the gate Sg-3 encountered Goa'uld gliders. We think the Tok'ra were under attack and had to evacuate.

Janet: so the healing device is useless then

G. Hammond: part of our agreement includes the Tok'ra telling us the coordinates of their homeworld, once things have settled down Jacob will most likely come through himself to tell us the new coordinates.

Janet: how long will that take

G. Hammond: up to a month depending on how secure their new homeworld is

^ Jack storms up to Janet. I think its safe to say he's seriously pissed off, I think maybe he's going through shock of some sort of shock ^

Jack: but she won't last that long, am I right Doc

Janet: Colonel...

Jack: Janet, she's been shot for gods sake, there must be something you can do, how many times have I been shot and been all right

G. Hammond: Jack, calm down

Jack: calm down, how about I calm down when the Tok'ra get their snakey arse's into gear, if they were more reliable they would be here, and Jacob.

G. Hammond: Colonel that is enough, I understand that you're upset, but we are doing all we can

Jack: well that's not good enough

^Jack, stalks off down the hall, I turn to General Hammond and he tells me to go, so I run after Jack I find him where I least expect to, in his quarters, I softly knock on the door before entering ^

Daniel: can I come in

Jack: this is exactly how it started

Daniel: how what started

Jack: this whole mess

Daniel: you've lost me

Jack: Sam came to see me, to ask how I was, I told her I didn't want to talk and we started fighting

^ Jack had never talked about the fight they had, I've known Jack a while and not once has ever talked about his problems, so I decided to shut up and listen ^

Jack: I said I wanted her out of my life and she left

Daniel: Jack, you can't blame yourself

Jack: that's exactly what she said. She told me there was nothing I could've done and I told her it was her fault. I was such an asshole Daniel

Daniel: you were upset

Jack: I accused her of sleeping with half the aliens off world, including Martouf

Daniel: She knows you didn't mean it

Jack: then why did she leave

Daniel: Maybe there were other reasons

Jack: that's bull, this is my fault, I should have gone and talked to her

Daniel: okay say you did go and talk to her, say she hadn't left, she would've still gone to the function as part as Sg-1 and still gotten shot. If this is anyone's fault it's mine, that bullet was meant to be for me. Jack you can blame yourself if you want, you can blame me, hell you can even blame her date for inviting her to the thing. Its not going to change anything, all you can do is be there for her. Sam's a fighter she won't give up easily. And besides she has to kick your ass for talking about Jacob like that

^ he gives me a half harted smile and I know its the best I'm going to get from him ^

Daniel: did you want to go back see how she is

Jack: you go a head, I think I'll just stay here for a while

^ I debate about whether or not I should leave him alone, but I decide he probably wants some time to think ^

Daniel: Okay, I'll see you later

Jack: yeah

^ I go back to the infirmary not sure what to do about Jack. Half an hour ago nothing would've moved him from the infirmary, and now you can't get him within a meter of it. I can't see Teal'c around anywhere, so I assume he's gone to do Kel'no'reme. I go and take a seat outside the infirmary, when Janet comes out ^

Janet: how's the colonel ?

Daniel: honestly I'm not to sure, what about you, are you okay ?

Janet: Yeah, its just, jack's right I should be able to do something

Daniel: you're doing all you can

Janet: But its not enough is it ?

^ She's got tears in her eyes and I know she blames herself just as much as Jack or I blame ourselves, so I stand up and pull her into a hug ^

Daniel: this is not your fault

^ she pulls away and wipes her eyes ^

Janet: I'm gonna go see how she's doing, did you want to come

Daniel: yeah

^ we go into Sam's room, and now I know why Jack doesn't want to come back. The sight of her hooked up to all those machines, she's almost as white as the sheet, with two spots of high coloring on either cheek. I sit down on a stool next to her bed while Janet Checks her out. She takes Sam's temperature and a worried look passes over her face ^

Daniel: What is it?

Janet: Damn, this shouldn't be happening

Daniel: what

Janet: Sam's fighting off the infection a lot faster than she should be

Daniel: that's good. Isn't it?

Janet: yes and no. She going to need antibiotics to help with the fever. I was hoping to build her up on them first, so they weren't to much of a shock to the body but she's fighting the infection on her own which is a good sign

Daniel: wouldn't it be easier to just give her drugs to help with the infection

Janet: no, The reason Sam is in this mess is because of the drugs given to her in the first place. They're what first caused the infection, because of their reaction to her protein marker. Drugs are meant to help the body, not do all the work themselves. If we gave her the drugs this infection might clear, but it would be replaced with a stronger one, she needs to build up her immune system. If she can fight off the infection herself then there's less chance of it coming back. Besides there's no telling what the added strain of giving her all those drugs would do. Her body may decide to just shut down.

Daniel: So if she manages to fight off this fever, then what

Janet: if she can beat the fever, her chances of surviving increase dramatically. Providing the infection doesn't come back and she wakes up from the coma with no brain damage, with plenty of rest she could make a full recovery

Daniel: and the worst case scenario

Janet: is the fever could be to much for the body and her rentrivious vein could rupture. Or she could recover from the fever with permanent brain damage.

Daniel: I see

^ all of a sudden we here a groan coming from the bed. ^

Daniel: Janet, what's going on

Janet: her fevers starting to spike

^ Sam starts to mumble something that sounds like a Jack, as she starts to have another seizure. Janet hits the emergency button on the wall and couple of nurses come in ^

Janet: she's having a seizure we need to get her temperature down, I need you to give her the antibiotics to help with the fever

Daniel: I thought you wanted to build her up to that

Janet: we don't have time for that Daniel, go and let the colonel know what's going on

Daniel: but

Janet: NOW
