This Moment
Chapter 1: She stared at the wall.
It still didn't give her any answers, or at least the ones she wanted.
Dead. He was dead.
She had watched him die, and she was still numb.
Flashbacks of the battle paraded through her thoughts.
"Carter, watch out!" Jack pushed her out of the way as the staff blast struck him fatally in the side.
"Man down! Man down! I repeat, Colonel O'Neil is down!" She shouted into the walkie-talkie. "Send reinforcements!"
"Hang on, sir!" Sam ripped a piece of fabric for her jacket, pressing it onto the wound to stop the blood.
Jack reached up slowly and touched her face.
"Sam...."
She stopped and looked full into the face of her CO. "Sir?"
"I'm not going to make it back, Sam."
"Don't say that, sir! Don't say that! You're going to make it back.. if it's the last thing I have to do.... Jack..."
She pulled his hand off her face and kissed it, no matter how blood-stained and dirty it was.
"Sam... I want you to know... I....love you."
She faintly smiled, "Jack.. I love you, too. But you can't leave me dammit! Not now!"
"I'm... sorry."
Jack died.
Sam burst into tears, but pulled his body to the the tress. The blasts had stopped, but she had heard a glider in the distance.
Sam cradled his hand in her hands, washing his face with tears.
Jack..... My Jack..... gone.
UNAUTHORIZED OFFWORLD GATE ACTIVATION!
Sam was jolted into reality.
MAJOR CARTER TO THE GATE ROOM!
Duty called.
~*~
It had only been hours since SG-1 had come back from P3X-9217. Jack had been dead for... she didn't even want to think about it.
"What is it, sir?" Hammond turned as Carter came into the control room.
"The Tok'ra. I think you father came with them; go greet him, Major," Hammond smiled, something he rarely ever did.
"Sir?"
"He came all this way to give you a present and you won't even go get it?!" Hammond exclaimed, becoming a little impatient.
"Sir??" Sam was more confused than ever, now.
"GO, Major! That is an order."
"Yes, sir!"
Sam left the control room, and headed into where the Stargate was kept.
"Dad?!" Sam exclaimed as Jacob Carter/Selmac turned to see his daughter enter.
"Hey, honey! How have you been?"
"Jack died, Daddy. How do you think I am?"
"You probably feel like crap. But I brought you something, actually it's a someone, who might make you feel better." Jacob/Selmac smiled at her, and nodded toward the hooded figure who had come through the gate with him.
"Dad! You fixed me up with one of your Tok'ra friends?" Sam sighed and gasped at the same time, straining her brain for a possible explanation of everyone's weird behavior toward her.
"Umm.. No." Jacob turned and spoke to the figure. "I think she's ready now!"
The hooded figure tossed back the covering that had hidden his face from sight.
Sam gasped. Her heart seemed to stop beating, and time had slowed down.
It can't be! But.. it is..
Jack.
"Welcome back, Colonel O'Neil!" Hammond's voice sounded through the speakers.
Sam turned to see Daniel, Janet, and Teal'c standing with the General.
They knew, and they hid it from me. Why wasn't I told that the Tok'ra had a sarcophagus?
"It's good to be back, sir," Jack's voice rang through Sam's head.
She turned to stare at Jack. He was alive. She couldn't believe it. Her heart raced with the words he had spoken to her before.
I love you.
Sam turned and ran from the room, feeling as though her head would explode.
"What's up with her?" Jack asked.
