Two Heroes
Part 2
I drop the video camera as I see the staff blast knock you to the ground. A part of me bleeds for you, but I know I've got to stay strong. I forget all about the airman that you were tending to and the camera still recording the sounds of the blood fest. I urge you to stay alive. I don't want to lose you.
Sam comes over the radio saying that Jack is down, but I don't hear her. Images of the life we've had and the life we could have spent together fly across my mind. They spur me to get you to open your eyes one last time so I can tell you what I've wanted to say. You're the love I've waited for for so long, and I don't want another person close to me to be lost to the Goa'uld.
"Please, Janet," I beg. Tears blur my vision as I try to revive you.
I wonder what might have happened in the future for us. Would we have been together? Was it meant to be? I guess now I'll never know.
The worst part of it all is that no one but the people at the SGC and Cassie will know how much of a hero you truly were. They won't know you were a casualty in a war slowly being lost. To them, you'll just be another body in a grave. It won't matter that you died helping a fallen soldier, even well after we're in the history books. But you have my promise that that's what I'll always remember you for.
I choke back more tears as I see scenes from when Cassie was sick. Dreams I've had of us rejoicing at the birth of our first child haunt me. I imagine us gathering the family for a photo, Christmas time, our little one's first day of school, and her wedding. I'd always wanted children, and I thought maybe, after all of the heartache, you were my chance at that. Either I was wrong or I waited too long.
A med. team comes for you and I have to let go of your hand, which I didn't realized was intertwined with my own. Just before I do, your grip seems to tighten slightly as if telling me to stay with you. I walk beside you hoping you'll make it so I can tell you I love you.
~*~
Who lives and who dies? Only time will tell.
Do you think I should go on? If so, do you want some alternate endings or just one? If it's one, I may or may not let it follow the spoilers for the series. ;-) Please feel free to give me your opinion!
