Lost Memory by Nehebka Chapter 6

When Jack, Sam, Teal'c and Janet arrived in the topside, they saw Daniel sitting on the floor and staring off into the space.

"Daniel?" asked Janet as she kneeled in front of him. She switched on her flashlight but found no respond in his pupils. "He's in shock. We better get him in the infirmary".

For two days Daniel lied in the bed, there was no sign that he would wake up. For these two days, the archaeologist has never been alone. Sam, Teal'c, Jack and Jonas took turns.

"Come on Danny" breathed Jack "You gotta come back from wherever it is that you've gone":

Jack felt a hand on his shoulder:

"You mustn't lose hope. He will wake up" said Jonas. "You look tired, you should eat something and sleep". Jack was about to argue but Jonas interrupted him before he said anything. "I'll stay here, don't worry. If there's any new I'll let you know".

"Thanks Jonas" said Jack and left the infirmary.

Jonas sat next to Daniel's bed. He watched the readings on the monitor and sighed. Suddenly Daniel opened his eyes, awaking at last form that endless sleep. He didn't say anything, he just look around the infirmary and saw Jonas sitting beside him.

"Doctor Jackson, at last you have woken up! We were worried, thought you'd never wake up! Should I call doctor Fraiser?" asked Jonas.

"No, it's ok, I'm fine" Jonas looked at Daniel with disbelief. "Really I'm alright" said once again Daniel as Jonas nodded.

Neither of them said anything for the next minutes. In the infirmary was as quite as the grave. What really worried in Jonas were all the words Daniel didn't say.

"I know maybe it is not of my business but... do you remember what happened when you where on the topside?"

Daniel closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Tobias came again, I don't really know how he did but I suddenly remembered what have happened in Abydoss. I could feel the pain and hear the screams when Anubis attacked them. I-It was horrible. They shouldn't have died".

"You shouldn't blame yourself" interrupted Jonas.

Daniel took a deep breath to calm down "I-I need to be alone if you don't mind" said as he turned to the other side of the bed.

"No!" yelled Jonas. Daniel looked at him surprised by his reaction. "You didn't killed them doctor Jackson, Anubis did"

"Does the pain ever go away?" asked Daniel.

Jonas shook his head. "Time eases it to some degree. You'll get over it, and we will be here at your side. But you have to let us help you"

"I don't deserve this-"whispered Daniel overwhelmed.

"That's were you are wrong. You are a good person doctor Jackson. You risked your own life for Kelowna, you saved my planet. If it hadn't been for you, that bomb would have exploded and Kelowna and all its people disappeared" said Jonas.

"You never give up Daniel" said Carter who has just entered in the room. "Do you remember when Jack and I got lost in Antartida in our way returning through the stargate. We would have died if it hadn't been for you. We could be on any of a million planets, and if you hadn't figure out which one, we would have faced a frigid death".

"And even when you ascended, you never leave us alone" said Jack who had just entered in the infirmary with Teal'c. Teal'c nodded. "You were always with me when Ba'al tortured me-"

"And you encouraged me to hang on when I shared my symbiot with Bra'tac" said Teal'c.

"No matter how hard things were, you never gave up Daniel. We always knew we could count on you" said Jack.

"SG-1 can't go without you" said Sam.

The archaeologist was overwhelmed by the love his friends have shown towards him.

"Listen your friends Dany'er" said a sweet voice from the corner. Daniel turned around and saw Shar'ee. "They speak the thruth Dany'er. Your journey isn't over yet, you will travel among the gods again" said Shar'ee as she walked towards him. He fondled his cheek and kissed him. "I'll always be at your side my husband. I love you" said and then disappered.

Daniel nodded.

-Two weeks later-

"Are you ready?" said Jack as he moved closer to Daniel.

"Are you kidding? I feel like to see the tablet that SG-4 has showed me in pictures! I guess it is written at least in twenty different dialects. Can you imagine what does it mean?" said happily Daniel as he took the firt steep towards the Stargate event horizon.

"No, I have no idea, but I'm sure you'll tell me" said Jack shaking his head but glad to see the Daniel he knew completely recovered. He waited until Sam, Jonas and Teal'c walked through the event horizon and then turned torwards general Hammond.

Hammond's voice rang out from the loudspeaker. "Good luck SG-1".

Jack nodded and crossed the stargate.
