All of a sudden Sam found herself somewhere different, The last thing she say was her CO, the man she secretly loved jump in front of a staff blast meant for her, She looked around hoping an answer would appear. It did, in the form of Jack. He walked up to her standing inches away from her.
"Where are we ? she asked "Where's P3X- 673 ?" she asked
"Away from here" he answered cryptically
"Are you going to tell me what's going on ?? the last thing I saw was… "she couldn't bear to say.
"I'm about to die." He answered, Sam looked up at him shocked Hardly believing what she had heard.
"Thor gave me this cool device a couple of months ago to say thanks for saving his world again, told me to keep it for myself. It gives you time Sam. Gives me time to say goodbye" Tears started to from on Sam's face
"But why ? Why does this have to happen? Why can't you leave the staff blast for me?" Questions raced through her head, giving her a headache. She couldn't bear what Jack was telling her.
"Because I care about her.. a lot more that I'm supposed to.. I'd rather die myself than lose Carter." The reminder of those words hit Sam hard.
"How much time do we have ?" she asked between sobs.
"five minutes max he answered" a tear finally rolling down his cheek
"That's not enough time !!" she practically shouted " I love you Jack, don't go, don't leave me ! I need you jack !" He put his arms around her, comforting her.
"I know Sam, I love you too, you're going to learn to live Sam. When I'm gone I want you to live"
"I don't know if I could do that. I don't know if I can live without you"
" I won't ever leave you Sam, I'll stay by your side. I promise." Jack whispered into Sam's ear.
"I believe you" Sam whispered back in reply " I love you so much"
"I love you too" Jack replied. They pulled apart briefly before slowly leaning in to a kiss. Desperate yet loving and passionate. Both held on to each other for the time they had left. They could both feel the time running out, slipping through their fingers like sand. The kiss deepening, knowing it would be their last. Tears falling down their cheeks. A flash signaled the end. Time resumed for everyone and Sam watched helplessly as the energy blast hit Jack in the stomach. The blast forcing him to the ground.
"No !!" She shouted, running full speed to Jack as Teal'c took down the lone Jaffa. The Jaffa that would remain in her memory forever as the Jaffa who killed the man she loved.
Sam leant over the injured Jack, trying to avoid looking at the blood that was everywhere. Her fingers reaching over to his neck checking for a pulse. Sam held her breath waiting to find out if he was still alive. Finally she found the pulse, weakly beating under her finger tips and she let out the breath. He groaned in pain quietly as he was brought back to consciousness.
"Jack ?, Oh Jack I though you were dead ! where does it hurt ?" Sam asked sliding her hand into his in comfort.
"Everywhere" he whispered before coughing painfully. Without realizing it, Daniel and Teal'c had joined them and were watching over them.
"Teal'C pick up Jack carefully get him to the gate, I'll take care of Sam" Daniel ordered bringing it upon himself to take charge. "Sam ? we need to get Jack back home now. Let Teal'C take him" Sam slowly did as he said, untwining their hands, letting Teal'C gently picked up their dying CO and headed towards the gate.
"Come on Sam, the gate's not far then Janet can help him" He took hold of her arm and helped her. Leading her forward, following Teal'C home.
