Don't own Stargate
Jack, Sam and Paul were all on cell phones. Paul was updating General Hammond on what happened and requesting that the C-5 be met at the base with the healing devices. Jack was talking to the marines who had barely left, requesting their helicopter for emergency medical transport and for them to pick up the fifth body. Sam was talking to the local hospital warning them about the incoming casualties.
Jason and Joanie were keeping pressure on Daniel and C.J.'s wounds, and Teal'c was ripping sheets for more bandages. A retired nurse hurried around the back of the house, stunned a little at the mess that was illuminated by the lights. She quickly moved up to assess her patients, shaking her head over C.J.'s wound. Daniel was stabilized, but needed blood soon. Everyone's head went up at the sound of the Marine chopper landing in the field behind the barn. In a matter of minutes the wounded were being transported to the local hospital to be stabilized, then were to be taken to a waiting C-5 and flown to Colorado Springs.
Paul and Sam stayed to help with the cleanup, and to reassure his parents that C.J. and Daniel would be alright. Teal'c and Jack rode with the others and while Jack was bandaged, the Marine in charge was impressing the need for no publicity on the skeleton staff at the hospital. Daniel was already better, the bullet had gone through his leg, nicking an artery, but that was fixed, he was given more blood and ready for another chopper ride. C.J.'s bullet had miraculously gone through her body, not hitting any organs. She was stabilized and then everyone was transferred to the waiting helicopter. They were taken to the waiting transport where a doctor and corpsman were standing by, and then headed for Colorado Springs.
Daniel opened his eyes, trying to figure out where the heck he was. He gradually realized that he was on a plane when Jack bent over him, "Hey Danny, back to the world of the living?" Daniel noticed the bandage on Jack's arm and suddenly remembered the events at the farm.
"C.J.?" he croaked, and Jack got him water to sip. "Look to your left." Daniel turned his head and saw with surprise that C.J. was lying on another gurney, hooked to an i.v., unconscious. "What happened?" Daniel cried out, struggling to sit up but stopped by the doctor, "Stay still Dr. Jackson!" the man snapped. Jack jerked his head at the doctor and corpsman and had them leave the area.
"Here is what happened I think. After we searched the area, the 5th terrorist snuck into the barn and hid out. After the marines cleaned up from the first battle and left, he came out of where he was hiding in the barn and let loose with a m-16. I was hit and went down and C.J. stood, getting hit at the same time you were. She didn't even realize it, she took her P-90 and blew the sucker out of the window, walked by where I was laying in the grass, and emptied her weapon into the guy on the ground." Jack shook his head in admiration.
"Was he alive?" Daniel asked. Jack shook his head, "No way to know. I doubt it after getting shot and falling to the ground. After that she checked on me then saw that you were wounded and ran to you. Teal'c was helping me up when we saw the blood on her back and then she collapsed." Jack's eyes were looking beyond Daniel, remembering his shock and the looks on Paul and C.J.'s parents' faces when they realized that C.J. was wounded. Shaking himself he continued, "So anyway, the bullet was a clean through and through. She lost a lot of blood but she's going to be alright. We are headed to the Springs where Jacob is going to meet us." Daniel nodded, eyes on C.J. "Daniel, I'm sorry. Davis, myself and the Marine commander tried to make sure there were no holes in the plan, but there you go." Daniel was shaking his head, "It wasn't your fault Jack. These animals were determined." He closed his eyes, weary beyond belief.
"Can you move me closer so that I can hold her hand?" Daniel asked and Jack nodded, motioning for Teal'c and the corpsmen to move the gurneys together.
C.J. was in a quiet place, just floating when a voice came into her mind. "C.J. you are being extremely lazy." C.J. laughed quietly, "I really hate getting shot at, do you know?" she said. The voice chuckled in return, "You need to wake up now. You have everybody worried." C.J. mentally shrugged, "I really need a vacation." She replied. The voice huffed impatiently, "Christianna Juliette Davis! You will wake up and get back to the real world, your friends and family are worried sick!" C.J. winced, and surrendered. "Ok."
C.J. was first aware of someone rubbing the back of her hand, softly, back and forth. She twitched her fingers and she heard the voice say, "Janet! I think she's waking up!" She slowly opened her eyes, frowning up at the ceiling. She could swear she was at the SGC. Suddenly Daniel and Janet were bending over her. "C.J. Do you know where you are?" Janet asked, checking her pupils with a light, C.J. jerked away, trying to turn her head, "Knock it off, I can see Doc! I'm at the SGC, and my vacation was cut really short!" Janet smiled at the irritated woman, "Well, sounds like you know where you are." Janet went to rummage through a drawer when Daniel came back into her line of sight.
"Hey, I missed you." He said, smiling at her. C.J. looked at Dr. Jackson, frowning. "Gee Dr. Jackson, I think you're pretty nice too." She said, confusion evident in her voice. Daniel suddenly was aware that something was wrong, "Do you remember what happened?" C.J. nodded, "I was on leave and we were attacked by terrorists." Daniel nodded, "Do you remember, um, us?" Now C.J. was really confused, "Us? What that we were both shot? Well Duh. I was there." Daniel felt like he was punched in the gut, he slid back down in his chair, looking at Janet helplessly. Janet hustled over and jerked her head for him to leave, and pulled the curtain around C.J.'s bed.
"Doc, what is he talking about?" C.J. asked, struggling to understand what had just happened. Janet shook her head, "Don't worry about it right now. I am going to ask you some questions to test for neurological damage. OK?" Janet replied soothingly.
Jack was walking down the hallway when he saw Daniel sitting on the floor outside of the infirmary. "Hey Danny, I hear she's awake.." his voice trailed off in shock as he saw the heartbreak in Daniel's eyes. "She doesn't remember us Jack." Daniel said brokenly. Jack knelt down, "Us? SGC?" Daniel shook his head in shock, "No, she doesn't remember our being lovers. Nothing." Jack stood, holding out his hand, "Come on Danny, let's go do something, she's ok, and Janet will find out what happened." Jack took Daniel away like the mother hen he was.
C.J. was sitting up in her bed, eating something disgusting that was disguised as food. Sam came in and C.J. lit up, "Oh good! Do you want this?" Sam came over and grimaced at what was in the bowl, "Uh, not even for our friendship would I eat that!" C.J. laughed and put the tray aside.
"How are you doing?" Sam asked, perching on the stool that she snagged from Janet's workstation. C.J. shook her head, "Well enough to get out of here. But try to convince the power hungry little redhead of that." C.J. complained, causing Sam to throw her head back and laugh.
"Sam, I need you to be honest with me. Were Daniel and I an item?" C.J. asked, her eyes pleading for the truth. Sam slowly nodded, and C.J. sat back, "Wow. No wonder he hasn't come back to see me. Jack, Teal'c and the rest of the SG teams have been in and out of here for the past couple of days. But not Daniel." C.J. was quiet, realizing how hurt that Daniel was. Sam leaned over and took her hand, "Just let it be for right now." She said as Janet bustled in. "I'm springing you C.J." she held up her hand in warning, "But you are going home to recoup. Plus you'll need someone to check on you everyday." Janet said firmly. "Excellent, I am so outta here. No more nasty goo that masquerades as food!!" C.J. said excitedly. Sam laughed at her, shaking her head.
