"Sergeant, open a wormhole to P8R-565. Get me Colonel O'Neill."

"Yes sir." Walter was getting worried. By this time they had all heard about Sam's collapse in her lab earlier today.

"Chevron seven...engaged."

With a big 'kawoosh' the 'gate opened.

"Colonel O'Neill, this is General Hammond. Do you copy?"

"Reading ya loud and clear sir. What's up?" Jack's face filled the small screen.

"Jack, there's been a situation. We need you and your team to report back here as soon as possible."

"Might I ask what the situation is sir?"

"It's Sam."

Everyone who was watching saw the look of horror that crossed Jack's face suddenly.

"We'll be back a.s.a.p. sir."

"Hammond out."

With that, he ordered Davis to shut down the 'gate. Walter did as he was told and sat back in his chair.

Twenty minutes later, Walter Davis was announcing SG-1's arrival. Hammond immediately ordered him to open the iris.

The next thing anyone saw was Jack run through, already shedding his pack and gear. Hammond hadn't even made it down to the 'gate room yet and Jack was already heading straight to the infirmary.

"Teal'c. Dr. Jackson."

"General. Excuse me for asking, but what exactly is going on?"

"At approximately 1100 this morning, Dr. Fraiser got a call from Sam. Sam was asking for help and the best that we can figure she passed out."

"This happened right after we left? Well, what's wrong with her?"

"She had a miscarriage son. There's nothing Dr. Fraiser could do."

"Oh, god. Jack's not gonna take this well."

"Should we not go and check on her Daniel Jackson?"

"That's exactly where I was thinking of going Teal'c."

"Then we shall depart at once."

"I'll be down there shortly. I've gotta contact Jacob, let him know what's going on."

"Yes sir."

With that, the two men left.

When Sam awoke, she was looking straight up at the infirmary ceiling. Instantly, she knew something was wrong, she just wasn't able to tell what it was quite yet.

She could tell that someone was holding her hand. Looking down, she saw Jack's head resting on his arms, her hand tightly incased in his own.

"Jack?"

With a start, his head shot up and looked at her.

"You're awake. I'll just go get Fraiser."

Sam looked at him in confusion, but before she could say anything, he had already left the room.

A few moments later, she could hear the gentle click of Janet's heels as she walked.

Sam took a moment to study her friend. Janet's hair was beginning to fall out of its bun, and she looked like she hadn't gotten any sleep at all in the past five days.

I haven't been out that long have I?

As Janet stepped closer, Sam could see the tearstains running down her cheeks.

"How are you feeling Sam?"

"Okay, a bit confused, but I'm okay. What's going on?"

"You passed out in your lab this morning."

"What happened? Is the baby all right?"

At this, she noticed that Janet's eyes became bright, and Jack hung his head in sorrow.

"Janet?! What happened?!"

"You lost the baby Sam. I'm so sorry."

By the time the tears started rolling down her face, Jack already had her held tightly to his chest, whispering words of comfort and rubbing her back gently. It reminded her of the breakdown she had had just a few months previous to this.

Jack felt terrible. He wished there was something he could do for Sam. He hated seeing her so distraught. She often cried herself to sleep, but she was stubborn. She wouldn't let him comfort her.

He wasn't allowed to just hold her, and it was tearing him up inside.

He knew that this was gonna be hard, he just had no idea how hard it was going to be.

~fin~

Yes, I know, sadness! But hey, the next part should see Sam perk up a little!
