^ I race down the hall to Jacks quarters. But when I get there I decide not
to go in. I turn around and head back to the infirmary. If I tell him now
he's in the same position I am and all he could do is wait. Its the waiting
that's the worst part. Once I know what's going on I'll let him know . I
wait outside the infirmary till one of the nurses come out ^
Nurse: Doctor Jackson, Doctor Fraiser told me to inform you that Major Carter is in a critical condition, however the antibiotics seem to be helping
Daniel: critical condition
Nurse: at this point it could go either way, I suggest if you or anyone else would like to see her, they do so now
Daniel: Okay, thank you
^ This time when I get to Jacks quarters, I barge in without even knocking ^
Jack: Daniel what's...
Daniel: Sam had another seizure
Jack: is she okay
Daniel: she's not doing so well, The nurse said that we should go see her now just incase...
^ Jack makes some sort of grunt but makes no move to get up. How dare he, how can he just sit there and act like he doesn't even care ^
Daniel: That's it, you're not even going to go and see her
Jack: why should I, what's it going to change
Daniel: it could change a lot of things
Jack: like what
Daniel: she needs you there, Jack
Jack: she doesn't need me, she never did
Daniel: then you tell me why, when she's meant to be deep in a coma, she's calling your name
^ he looks up at that, okay so I'm only about 80% sure it was actually his name she was saying, but that's close enough ^
Jack: it doesn't matter
Daniel: It does matter, she's trying to fight this Jack
Jack: yeah trying, and you know what the odds are Daniel, about 1 in a million that she'll make it
Daniel: you've never cared about the odds before, what about all the times we've fought Goa'ulds and never had a chance, you've always gotten us out of there. You never gave up then
Jack: that was different
Daniel: how
Jack: because I could look after you out there. I'm meant to look after my team and I let her down
^ I think, I got it. He was feeling guilty. The reason jack's such a great leader is because he would willingly give his life for his team, and this was the one time he couldn't do that, he's feeling helpless because there's nothing he can do ^
Daniel: you didn't let her down, you did all you could. Your letting her down now by not being there for her, besides her odds aren't that bad Janet thinks if she can fight this fever, she could make a full recovery
^ Jack stands up and heads for the door. I am not going to let him run away, not this time ^
Daniel: what are you doing
Jack: going to fight the odds
^ I smile, knowing that there's still a part of him that hasn't given up completely. Back at the infirmary, there's no sign of Janet, so Jack an I quietly slip into the infirmary where Sam is. Jack and I take a seat and after a while Janet comes in. ^
Janet: how's she going
Daniel: still the same
Janet: try talking to her, I know it doesn't sound like much but it could help
Daniel: we will thanks
* After Janet leaves It doesn't take much for Daniel to fall asleep and it doesn't take long for me to join him *
((((((((((((
^ I wake to find Daniel gone and Janet checking Sam ^
Janet: have a nice sleep colonel?
Jack: yeah, where's Daniel
Janet: he woke up about an hour ago, so I ordered him to go get some proper rest.
Jack: what time is it?
Janet: about 0700
* wow, I'd been asleep for about 4 hours. Most people would be starting work now, so the SGC was bound to get a lot busier *
Janet: Teal'c keeps dropping in periodically to check on Sam
Jack: how is she anyway
Janet: a lot better actually. Her fever is showing signs of reducing and her body is reacting well to the antibiotics she was given
Jack: so, she's getting better
Janet: Sam's improved dramatically over the last few hours and if she can keep it up, its possible she will make a full recovery. She still has a way to go, but its looking a lot better than it was.
Jacks: that's fa.
^ I don't get to finish me sentence. I look down to my hand which somehow during the night found Sam's ^
Janet: what is it
Jack: she squeezed my hand
Nurse: Doctor Jackson, Doctor Fraiser told me to inform you that Major Carter is in a critical condition, however the antibiotics seem to be helping
Daniel: critical condition
Nurse: at this point it could go either way, I suggest if you or anyone else would like to see her, they do so now
