God Only Knows part 2.
Jack was shipped to the SGC infirmary two weeks after the letter was found by Janet, she hadn't told anyone but kept it in her pocket to give to Sam when she woke up.
Jack arrived unconscious, he was very pale with dark rings under his eyes, he was placed in the bed next to Sam so that Daniel and Teal'c could be near both their friends. Jack's scans showed that the knowledge of the Ancients had been somehow wiped from his brain yet again; it was unknown how that had happened without the interference from the Asgard. The scientists posted at the Antarctic base had run tests on the device the Colonel was frozen in but the results had come back negative to all the scans and experiments done.
Sam was still unconscious, the sunburn had turned into a nice tan that a Spaniard would have been envious of, along with a cluster of darker freckles covering her cheeks and nose.
"Hello Daniel." Janet said making the archaeologist jump up from where his head had been resting on his chest.
"Janet!"
"Daniel why don't you go and rest, you look like hell." She said putting her hand on his head. "You feel warm, do feel ill at all?"
"No." He said avoiding the piercing brown eyes; that is until he sneezed.
"Daniel."
"Alright, I do feel rough. It's probably just a cold or something, lack of sleep?" He asked hopefully not wanting to leave his friends because he's got an infectious disease or something.
"It probably is lack of sleep, come on you can sleep over here." She said pointing to an empty bed opposite Sam and Jack's beds.
"Thanks Jan." He smiled sweetly and rubbed one of his baby blue eyes. "Jack, Sam I'll just be over there if you need me okay?" He told the unconscious bodies.
Patting Jack on the arm he tried to move away.
"Janet!" He gasped. "I can't let go!"
"What?" She cried and ran towards him.
"Argh!" He cried out in pain as a white light went into his hand, he felt like a fire was burning up his arm and through his body.
"Daniel!" She yelled trying to pull him away from Jack.
Daniel stopped screaming as the pain dissipated and the glowing stopped, he moved away from his friend and sank back into the chair.
Janet put her hand on his head again. "Are you all right? You're fever's gone!" She said surprised.
"I feel fine," He said equally shocked. "My headaches gone, I don't feel rough anymore."
Janet moved from Daniel to Jack and placed her hand on his head carefully. Jack's eyes shot open and startled the poor doctor.
"Colonel?"
"Hey Doc!" He said gruffly. "What happened?"
Janet smiled at him restraining the urge to jump around and give him a big hug.
"You don't remember?"
"Would I ask if I did?"
"No, what's the last thing you remember?" She asked as she checked his monitors for abnormalities.
"Uh, the Ancient stuff was downloaded into my brain wasn't it?" He waited for her nod before carrying on. "Ah crap! I remember a lot of flying around with Bra'tac trying to find that damn outpost, everything up to being frozen I guess."
"Everything?" Daniel asked hopefully.
He turned towards the voice. "Hey Danny boy! Didn't see you down there." He smiled. "I can't remember all that Ancient stuff though."
"Oh, never mind." Daniel shrugged. "Glad you're back with us."
"So what's happened since I've been away?"
"Well, I kind of had an idea that you could be saved if we find the rest of the Ancient outposts so Hammond agreed to let teams go and search for them. Cut a long story short Sam was out with SG3 but they came back without her..."
"What?!"
"Colonel calm down." Janet warned watching his heart monitor and blood pressure.
"Jack, she's over there." He pointed towards Sam's bed.
"Is she okay? What happened?"
"Apparently the locals on the planet thought that blondes were devils, or something. They sent her through the gate to another planet; Major Griff only managed to get the last four symbols on the DHD so we tried every planet with those last few co-ordinates. We eventually found her on a desert planet, she'd managed to get her self to a small oasis but she was badly sunburnt and dehydrated, she must have bruised her ribs when she was thrown through the gate." Daniel finished.
"Is she going to be okay?"
"Yes Colonel, she should be fine. She hasn't woken up yet, I'm not sure why though. It's been three weeks so she should be up in the next few days."
"Why was she with SG3?"
"Well she suggested to Hammond that a scientist and archaeologist went with each team to search for the outposts and the Lost City. She was the only one available at the time." Daniel explained.
"Well as much as I am enjoying this conversation you both need to rest and give me some peace and quiet!" and give me time to figure out what happened just now! She added mentally.
"But I just woke up!"
"But I feel fine now!"
"Rest! Now!" Janet said sternly.
Daniel said goodbye to Jack and went to tell Teal'c and General Hammond that Jack was awake; then he promised Janet he would go to his quarters and sleep for at least four hours.
Once Janet was sure that Jack was asleep she went to her office to grab a cup of coffee and go over Jack's medical notes for the past two weeks and see if they link with the first time he was a walking Ancient dictionary.
Jack opened one eye slowly making sure no one was there to stop him. He gradually eased himself off the bed and made his way over to Sam's bed.
"You didn't find the letter then?" He whispered sitting on the chair next to her bed. "You look so beautiful, Pete is one lucky guy."
Sighing he stretched out his arms. "So long Ancient knowledge." He said as he laid one hand on Sam's head and the other on her arm. The glowing white light that had shot up Daniel's arm earlier now left Jack's hands and penetrated her skin, moving through her body healing the ribs and re- hydrating better than any modern medicine could do. Sam's monitors were going wild, beeping and whining; Janet rushed in to see Jack slumping into his chair exhausted.
"Colonel! What were you doing?" She cried rushing over to the man.
"Helping her." He panted.
"Now you do need to rest." She said pulling him by the arm.
"Janet?" She heard a very familiar whisper.
"Sam?" She turned to see the major trying to sit up in her bed.
"What happened?"
--------------------
"So you see Sir, by healing Major Carter and Dr. Jackson's cold the Colonel's brain waves are back to normal." She said putting the file on the briefing room table in front of her.
"You mean to tell me that we have the original Jack O'Neill back with us with no other side effects?"
"Yes General, before he healed them his brain still had slight anomalies but now it is completely normal." She smiled. "Both Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter are, or should be resting at the moment. They'll be ready for active duty in another week or so."
"Thank you doctor. There is a slight problem; Jack is officially retired as of when SG1 were on board the Alkesh trying to find the Lost City of Atlantis, I need to talk to him about all of this."
"Yes Sir."
-----------------------
When Janet walked back into her infirmary Colonel was no where to be seen, Sam was sitting up in bed reading a trash romance novel that one of the nurses had leant her to quell her boredom, it wasn't working mind you!
"So I take it the Colonel has made a jail brake?"
"More like a toilet brake." Sam smiled.
"Well least he isn't complaining constantly about being cooped up here." Janet said sitting on the end of Sam's bed.
"Must be his new outlook on life."
"Or the company." Janet said raising her eyebrows.
"What do you mean?" Sam said laying the book down on the bed.
"Well, I found something you might want to read. He didn't think he was coming back Sam." She pulled the folded up letter and photo out of her pocket and placed it on the bed. She smiled and left the room, leaving Sam alone with the letter.
Cautiously Sam unfolded the letter and began to read it.
