Thanks Trish!
Chapter 12
**Few hours before Jesse wakes up**
Sam paced the floor of Jesse's room staring at the floor. She hated herself for not being able to sit by her daughter's bedside. But, to sit down next to Jesse would mean she would hear the drip of the IV and the beep of the heart monitor. She would also have to see all the needles and machines hooked up to Jesse to keep her alive. It made a chill go up her shine and blood curl just to think about that.
"I thought I'd have to fight for the seat next to her bed." Jack said lightly. Sam looked up at him. He looked a bit red little he'd been trying all day to hide tears when he saw his daughter in her current state.
"Hi, sir." Sam said.
"Hey Sam can you drop the sir? Just for now."
"Yes, Jack."
Sam looked like she was shaking from being so scared.
"Hey Sam she's getting better it'll be fine." Jack said trying to comfort her. He went over and put his arm around her. Sam responded only by looking at him before hugging him.
"I hope so, Jack." Sam said. Noticing the closeness Sam pulled out of his embrace. "You said something about getting better." she acknowledged.
"Well, Frasier says she's been showing a bit of improvement and not to get our hopes up but it's a good sign after all the time she's been in the coma."
Sam let herself smile a bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"You did it." Jesse said plainly with a rough voice.
"No actually Frasier did it we just watched." Jack said with a small grin.
Jesse tried to laugh but it came out more like a cough. "Water?" she asked.
Sam got the cup on the side of the table that Dr. Frasier had put there for when Jesse woke up. The straw went into Jesse's mouth and she drank. When she was done she smiled at her mother.
"How long have I been out?"
"Three weeks." Sam said.
Jesse nodded in understanding. "Dr. Frasier put the puzzle pieces together I presume." She said.
"Yeah, why didn't you tell us you needed Naquadah in your blood to survive?" Jack asked.
"Only Dr. Frasier needed to know." Jesse answered.
"But, we're your parents Jesse." Sam said.
"Give us some warning before you decide to put yourself between life and death." Jack added.
"Very funny." Jesse said. "I'm sorry but the past months have been a bit fast."
"We're glad you're okay Jess." Sam said.
"Thanks mom." Jesse said.
'Ahem.' Jack said.
"Oh you to dad." Jesse added.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Nice to see you're okay." Jonas said.
"Thanks." Jesse responded.
"Gave a lot of people a big scare." He added. "I noticed." She said. "But, I'm being tortured by the infirmary food so I wouldn't know anything besides my parents."
"I was scared."
"Really?"
"Yeah, along with- Daniel, --and Teal'c ---and---Dr. Frasier and other people-"
"Oh." She said.
"Yeah."
Jesse sighed. "Its sort of boring in here I wish I had my laptop."
"Is it on base?"
"No I was using it when I collapsed so it might be at my dad's house."
"Oh." An uncomfortable silence followed.
Jesse could tell Jonas was holding something back so she asked, "Anything you want to tell me?" She was trying her hardest to not just read his mind. Something told her he needed to tell her this.
"No." he lied. Jesse nodded her head softly once in understanding. "I was scared." He said again thing time adding more to the I. Jesse couldn't keep eye contact anymore so she turned away.
The tension was rising in the room. He wanted to show her how afraid he had been he could have lost her---he wanted---he wanted to---.
"I've got to go." Jonas said. "I'll be leaving for Kelwona for a bit."
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah I don't know when I'll be back."
"Okay." She said and brought his shoulder down to kiss him on the cheek. "Bye." She said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Daniel?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah." Daniel responded coming out of the kitchen of his apartment. Jack and Sam had been called to Washington and since Jesse was trying to catch up with school she was staying at Daniel's place. Well, that was a few weeks ago Jack and Sam had been long back but Jesse made it a point to come over regularly and Daniel liked the company when he wasn't on base.
Jesse lay down on the couch engrossed in one of Daniel's expedition journals.
"Jesse It's late I'm going to sleep. You got to leave anytime soon."
"Yeah." Jesse said half-heartedly. In her mind was boiling sleep and a dream or rather a nightmare. It would set a chain of events that would lead her places that she didn't know she wanted to be. The 17-year-old girl slowly falling asleep on Daniel's couch at 11:00 at night was in for one hell of a coming of age.
AN: That's it! I finally finished this so happy right now. Anyway hoped you liked it since I've already written much more!
