~ Sam's thoughts # Jacks unconscious thoughts Jacks conscious thoughts



~ Come on Jack you can do this, don't leave me I need you, you have to survive, if you do I will quit the SGC, the air force anything for you if you just wake up and get better.~

"Sam honey" came the quiet voice of Janet "you can see him now"

"How is he?" asked Sam

"Asleep, still critical but he's stable and just asleep" replied Janet seeing the scared look that passed on Sam's tired face.

"Thanks Janet"

"Oh and Sam, after your finished seeing him go home and sleep your exhausted." said Janet

Sam walked into the small room and saw his chest rise and fall gently. ~ Just like a baby.~ she thought. Apart from the constant bleep of the machine and the rise and fall of his chest, he was so still he looked as if he was gone from this place. Sam took the chair nearest the bed and began her bedside vigil.



# Where am I, I wonder. And how did I get here?#

The warmth of this place surrounded Jack. Here there was no pain, no noise or distractions, just peace and warmth. In this place Jack could think clearly without anyone who would bug him. And Jack thought. He thought of Sara and of Charlie. Then he thought of the SGC and of Sam, the woman who just two nights ago he was dancing with, the woman who though it went against the rules and regs, aloud him just one night to hold her in his arms like he wanted to do for years. Jacks heart gave a little jolt of pain and untold love at the thought of her name.

Then something changed, feeling of warmth and of peace began to slip away from him. Memories of that fateful day began sliding back into his mind: shouting at Daniel, storming off to his office, then. Then he couldn't remember any more just darkness and nothing.



Sam woke to the weak cry issuing from the voice of one Jack O'Neill.

"Sam" whispered Jacks faint voice. "Sam are you there?"

"Im here Jack, Im here" she cried out in delight.

"God Sam what happened? how did I get here?" he asked and yet Sam knew she couldn't give him the answers he wanted.

"We don't know what happened Jack, I went after you when you stormed off and I found you on your office floor…" her voice faltered away.

Looking into his eyes she saw him study her face for a minuet, then turn his head away. Jack could see all he needed to know in her face. The pained expression in her eyes told tales of trying to find out who his attacker was, without any luck.

"I better tell Janet that your awake or she might get even bigger needles out to sedate me with this time." said Sam with a little smile

"Too late Sam I'm here already. Now you have seen him wake up which means he's okay, you can get to your bed at once or I will get the SF's to forcefully remove you and I wont allow you to see him tomorrow." stated Janet calmly

"And If I don't go Janet, what will you do if I refuse to be removed?"

" Then I will get out my big needles and sedate you here in front of Colonel O'Neill. Then I will strap you down to that bed over there by Lt Malign, until you have had a good 12 hours of undisturbed sleep."

"Evil woman, neapoleonic needle pusher, you are terrible for driving hard bargains." muttered Sam just loudly enough for Jack to hear.

"What was that Sam I didn't quite catch that, could you repeat the sentence please." asked Janet innocently.

"I said you're a lovely woman who cares so much for everyone under you excellent care." lied Sam.

" I thought so too." said Janet as she took Jacks vitals.

Sam walked out of the room to go and find Daniel and Teal'c to tell them the good news. She found them in the mess hall stuffing there faces. ~ Typical, Jack is as far as they know unconscious and their eating.~ As Sam told the boys the news Daniels eyes lit up and Teal'c smiled. They asked to be excused so they could visit him, Off they went leaving me to make my way to my quarters.

Reaching my quarters I climbed onto the bed and laid down as the waves of needed sleep overtook my exhausted body.
