Could The Stargate name and original characters belong solely to MGM,
Double Secret and Gekko Film Corp.
The title has been 'borrowed' from a Stephen King novel.
However the storyline and any new characters that follow belong to me;

PART ONE
A Stargate SG-1 Story
Jack O'Neill stood in front of the mirror in the locker room. He stared back at his reflection. It didn't look good. Jack moved to rub his eyes, if he could just shake off this damn headache. The dark circles under his eyes told tales of several sleepless nights and an increase of the meds Dr Fraiser prescribed. Jack was popping four or five at a time. He was damn lucky that no-one had noticed a difference in his actions. Sam had been a little wary, but so far hadn't said anything. Teal'c being Teal'c had been his usual stoic self. Jack tried to smile but the face staring back at him just looked haunted.
"Colonel ? Sir are you in there ?"
"I'll be right out, Major." Jack ran the faucet and splashed cold water over his face. He looked again in the mirror, imagining he could see color returning. He smiled to himself finally, get a grip O'Neill, he warned himself. It was good to step into the Gate Room with his two team mates. As the three of them walked through the event horizon on their latest mission, Jack saluted the memory of Daniel, as he always did. Sam was worried. Jack was acting weird. OK, weirdness was the Colonel's speciality, along with sarcasm and a rather cute way of acting dumb. Sam always knew that Jack was smarter than he made himself out to be. Over the last few months, she and Jack had gotten closer. It wasn't just the gentle kiss on the top of her head not long after Daniel's ascension or the late night phone calls when they were on leave. No, it was more than that and Sam was grateful. Relieved also, not to have to hide her feelings for her CO anymore. Even General Hammond had given his blessing in that gruff way of his, overlooking the rules on officers getting involved. Sam loved Jack O'Neill. She always had. They had been through so much together. So many times, risking their lives to keep the team together. Remembering the situation on the ice field. Depite the cold, it was one time Sam did not want to forget. But now, Jack was acting strange. Sam didn't want him to know that she'd realized. He looked tired now, so tired. The headaches, more frequent.
While on duty he was as strong as ever, always one step ahead with sarcastic quips and dogged determination.
Off duty however, he seemed different, not as sharp and in control. Neither he or Sam wanted to draw attention to might be wrong. They just wanted to be together as much as possible, draw comfort from each other.
SG-1 landed on P4X-997. Sam stepped through first, followed by Teal'c. The two of them walked down the few steps and waited for Jack. Usually the one to get through first and on his feet, Jack shocked his team by staggering through the gate and stumbling down the steps. Teal'c caught his friend, "Are you alright O'Neill ?" he asked.
"Yeah, Teal'c. Peachy." Sam glanced over to Jack. He wasn't OK.
"OK people, let's move out." Being only the three of them now, Jack did not give the order to split up. They tried that once when Jonas Quinn had been with them. Never again. Teaming Jonas withTeal'c had been a very bad idea. Not least because on recons, Teal's companion had always been Daniel, teaming Teal'c with Jonas was like betraying Space Monkey.
For his part, Teal'c had accepted the pairing with his usual stoic manner, not revealing any emotion on the subject.
Jonas Quinn, for his part, worked hard to prove he was a team player, it couldn't have been easy for him either, knowing that he had in effect replaced a valued team member who had sacrificed himself to save the people of Kelona.
Jonas had returned to P9Y-4C3, for a recon mission of his own, to try and restore relations with the High Minister of Kelona. None of the SGC envied him that task. There had been no contact from Jonas for days, the SGC tried to send communication through the Gate, now all they could do was wait for Jonas Quinn to contact them.
This mission was a recon too. A chance to explore a new planet, so far no threat from the Goa'uld. No ancient script to be trasnslated. Jack wondered whether General Hammond had given this mission to them deliberately. Sam, Jack and Teal'c settled into an easy silence, walking along, scanning the area. Sam stopped to collect a few ground samples. Teal'c kept watch around them. Jack stood looking up at the blue sky, so bright, so.....
"Major Carter !" Teal'c's voice rang out in the silence. Sam stood abruptly. Something in the way Teal'c called her made her blood run cold.
"What is it Teal'c ?" Sam asked as she turned. She didn't need to say any more. There before her eyes, the huge Jaffa was crouched beside a fallen O'Neill.
Sam felt like she was wading through quicksand as she made her way over to where Jack was lying.
"What happened ? Teal'c ?"
"I am unsure Major Carter, I turned and he was on the ground." Teal'c replied.
"It hurts, Carter. Make it stop."
"Sir, I don't know if I can. Oh God." Sam could feel tears burning her throat. She knew what was happening. There was nothing she could do. Colonel Jack O'Neill was dying right before her eyes, a ruptured aneurysm.
"I can't feel my left side Sam." Jack slurred.
"Sir, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"Sam, what's happening ?" Jack looked terrified.
"Jack,I don't know. I'm sorry." She was lying to Jack and she hated it. Not knowing how to tell him was nearer the truth. Sam couldn't hold the tears back any longer. She knelt by Jack and slowly took him in her arms, sobbing. Teal'c stepped forward, "Let me go and get help, Major Carter." He said.
"There's no time, he's dying Teal'c." Sam said, cradling Jack's head in her arms.
"I love you Samantha Carter." Jack said slowly before closing his eyes.
"I love you too, Jack. I love you too." No sooner had the words left Sam's lips, then Jack gave a final breath and was silent.
Sam's sobs became louder. She rocked slowly, holding Jack in her arms.
"Incoming Traveller !"
"SG-1's iris code Sir."
"Open the iris." General Hammond ordered. The event horizon pulsed forward and settled back. The first person through the Gate was Sam, followed by Teal'c who carried the lifeless form of Colonel Jack O'Neill. Before Sam could stop him, General Hammond had boomed an order into the microphone, "Medical Team to the Embarkation Room, STAT !"
"No point." Sam whispered, to no-one in particular. Teal'c would not give up Jack's body to the waiting interns with the gurney. Instead he carried Jack to the Infirmary himself, head held high. Sam and Teal'c waited outside the Infirmary. Neither spoke. A few minutes later, Dr Janet Fraiser appeared. Sam looked for some glimmer of hope in Janet's eyes and found none.
"Janet ?" she said.
"Sam, I am so sorry." Janet said, seeing the pain in her friend's eyes. Sam felt her legs give out beneath her. Just as she fell Teal'c caught her and gently sat her down on one of the chairs.
"Sam, you did all you could, but the Colonel died on the planet."
"I did nothing Janet, NOTHING !" Sam was shouting now.
"Sam, don't say that." Janet's voice broke with emotion.
It didn't hurt any more. Yay, Jack thought, the headache has gone. Man that was a killer!
"Hello Jack."
"Danny Boy, Space Monkey. When did you get back ?"
"You should be asking when you arrived " Daniel said.
"What ? Don't go all cryptic on me. Daniel. You know I hate that."
"Sorry Jack. But I haven't come back, it's time for you to come with me."
"You kidding ? The path to enlightenment and all that ??" Jack stared at his best friend, "You saying I'm dead ?"
"Take a look Jack." Daniel said and suddenly the bright light changed to the Infirmary, Jack saw himself on the bed, stood around him were Dr Frasier, Teal'c, General Hammond and most disturbing of all, Sam. Sam, beautiful Sam, sobbing, his Sam. For such a short time.
"OK Daniel, I don't want to see this now. It's getting to be like those old movies, 'Wonderful Life' this is not."
"I'm sorry Jack, I really am."
"Not as sorry as I am. Believe me." Jack looked again, Teal'c was putting his arm around Sam's shoulder as she lay against Jack.
"We sorta got together not long after you left us Daniel. I should really thank you." Jack said, still watching the ensuing scene. "They can't bring me back, can they ?" He continued, remembering the attempt to bring Daniel back. Daniel shook his head, "You're brain dead Jack. Nothing more can be done. I'm sorry."
"Don't go on apologizing Danny, it's not your fault. Damn headaches. Wonder if they'll use me as evidence that Gate travel is hazardous to your health?" Jack quipped. Daniel smiled, Jack, funny even in death.
"Hey Daniel," Jack said, suddenly remembering something, "You appeared to me, to tell Jacob. Can I appear to Sam ?"
"I have no idea, Jack." Daniel said. Jack smiled now, Daniel's familiar line when faced with something new !
"Why don't you try." Daniel suggested.
"Yeah, I should, 'cos there's something she needs to know." Jack said and he found himself stood in the Infirmary looking at his body, weird. Jack slowly touched Sam's shoulder and they both found themsleves back in the Gate Room surrounded by bright light and Daniel.
"What's going on ?" Sam was bewildered, "Hi Daniel." She said, at first not seeing Jack.
"Hi Sam, look over here." Jack said.
Sam did so and immediately broke down. Jack felt himself tear apart again, watching her cry. It had been painful enough to watch her cry after Daniel had left them but now, knowing she was crying over him, Jack O'Neill, was almost too much to bear. So little time together, no really together, a matter of months, three to be exact.
"Sam," Jack said, "Sam listen to me, please." Sam looked up at the man she had now loved and lost, "What ?" she said, her face glistening with tears. She finally realised how painful it must have been for her alternate self. She was going through the exact pain. No, alternate Sam had married Jack and had one year with him. This Sam had not been so lucky.
"Why did I wait so long to tell you how I really felt Jack ? Why ?"
"Sam, don't do this to yourself, please." Jack said, "I want you to do something for me. Go to my quarters, look in the drawer of the nightstand for a box, there's an envelope too. Sam, do this for me." Sam nodded. Jack moved forward and took Sam in his arms and they kissed for a long time.
"Sam, I always have and always will love you. Remember that."
"Ditto Jack." Sam smiled through her tears.
"I'll never leave you." Jack said, he glanced at Daniel, "Nor will Daniel." Sam moved away from Jack and hugged Daniel too. The three of them joined together for a few moments before Sam was pulled back into the Infirmary. She held Jack's body for a while before stepping away.
"Goodbye Jack. I love you."
Sam asked Teal'c to accompany her to Jack's quarters. Respectfully he waited outside. Sam remembered Jack's instructions. Walking into this room was strange, Jack's smell was still here, enveloping her. She walked over to the closet, his dress blues were here along with his civilian clothes. She pulled out his battered leather jacket and slowly inhaled the smell. Tears formed again in her eyes but she blinked them away.
Sam went over to the bed, neatly made as always. She sat down and opened the drawer. As Jack had said there was a box, a red velvet box. Sam took the box and turned it over in her hands before slowly opening it. Inside the box was a beautiful diamond ring. The diamond set inside a diamond shape band of gold. As Sam lifted the ring from the box, she noticed writing inside the ring band.
"To My Darling Sam, As Always, The Brains Of SG-1. Jack." The tears fell, this time Sam did not stop them. She found the envelope now and opened it;
My Darling Sam, How long I have waited to say that to you. If you are reading this now, well, I guess I'm gone. I suppose you're wondering why I wrote this ? Y'see Sam, I knew something was wrong, very wrong. Just didn't want to say it out loud, military bravado and all that. Sam, I love you so much. Pity I waited until Danny had gone before I plucked up enough courage to tell you. Why do we wait so long to tell someone how we really feel ? I remember you saying that to Daniel. I hope now that you're wearing the ring, believe me, if this hadn't happened, I would've gotten down on bended knee in the Gate Room, in full view, with a rose in my teeth just to ask for your hand in marriage. I'm an old fashioned guy at heart. Wear the ring with pride Sam, shout it from the rooftops. I Jack O'Neill loved Samantha Carter, to hell with the rules. I never was one to obey the rules, was I ? This isn't goodbye Sam, it never is. Thanks to Daniel, I believe in what's next. Don't give up Sam, I'll always be with you no matter what. Always One more thing, before I go, the cabin by the lake and my truck, all paid up, they're yours now. Learn to fish, it's very relaxing ! Love You Sam
~Jack~
"Are you alright Major Carter ?" Teal'c asked from outside.
"Yes Teal'c." Sam replied, wiping the tears from her eyes. She went to the door and opened it, holding out her left hand. On the third finger, Jack's engagement ring took pride of place. Sam turned to the phone beside the door, it may not be from the rooftops, Jack, but this will do for now, she thought as her voice echoed round the base.
"Colonel Jack O'Neill loved Major Samantha Carter. And she loves him right back !" In the Infirmary General Hammond and Dr Frasier looked at each other and smiled. Sam and Teal'c walked down the corridors, getting smiles from other members of the SGC. As they walked into the Infirmary, Janet Frasier took her friend into a hug.
"He heard me Janet, I know he did." Sam said.
