Ch. 21: I See…Dead People?
Daniel led Mytel into the briefing room. Jack was sitting in Sam's usual chair, staring at the table. "Uhh, hey, Jack, any clue what the meeting's about?"
Jack didn't move a single muscle. "What meeting?"
Hammond came in and sat down.
Daniel slid into his chair as well. "What's going on General?"
"Me."
Jack jumped to his feet. He had to be dreaming…seeing things. This couldn't be real. He saw her take 2 staff blasts. She couldn't have survived that.
Hammond leaned back in his chair. "Major Carter was rescued by Ando'rhet and revived using a sarcophagus."
Jack shook his head to make sure he was hearing right. Without thinking he grabbed Sam and pulled her into his arms. It was only way he could be assured she was real.
"SG-1, I am dismissing you all with orders to get some sleep. We will debrief in 12 hours at 2100." He stood up and walked out of the room.
Daniel sat staring at Sam. "What…"
Sam cut him off. "Daniel, I don't know about you, but I'm tired. I'll explain everything at the briefing." She turned to Jack and lowered her voice. "I need a shower, but I should be back in my quarters in about 20 minutes." She turned and walked out of the briefing room."
Janet walked into the room.
Jack stared blankly at the doctor in the doorway. "Do YOU want to explain this?"
Janet shook her head. "Nope. We're under orders to get sleep. I just wanted to know where Cass was."
"VIP quarters 3." Daniel turned to Mytel. "Come on, let's go up to my quarters."
Sam closed the door to her quarters behind her and no sooner did she have it locked then Jack pulled her into his arms. "I thought I had lost you."
Sam leaned into him. "It's okay. I'm here, I'm fine."
Jack let go and took a step back. "Sam…earlier, when you were…when I thought…I was in your lab and I was going to use your computer to type my resignation and…I read your journal…not the whole thing, just the last entry. The one you wrote when we got back from Minara." Sam started to say something but Jack stopped her. "Just let me finish. It made me realize something. We wasted so much time…I wasted so much time. I should have made sure you realized how I felt all along. What this is all getting at is…Sam, I love you…more then that I'm in love with you, and I have been for a long time."
"Jack, I…" One again Sam was silenced by Jack.
"I know." He stepped back toward her. "I know." Jack leaned down and gave her a long, deep kiss.
