Letters 3
Evidence of Love
As Jack finished off his letter to Sam an announcement came over the intercom and the sirens started blaring.
"Unscheduled off world activation, Col. O' Neill to the control room."
Not thinking Jack dropped what he was doing and ran as fast as he could to the control room. When he got there he saw the iris code for the Prometheus. They were coming home, she was coming home. He knew she would find a way.
"General may I?"
Jack pointed towards the gate room, he wanted to be the one to welcome Sam home. General Hammond rolled his eyes, will that boy ever just tell her how he feels?
"Go!"
Jack didn't need to be told twice and was gone. He just entered the gate room as two men came through the gate holding Sam on a stretcher. No, no she couldn't be dead. This was not happening! Jack ran up the ramp and took his 2IC's hand.
"Carter can you here me? Sam?"
"She's been unconscious for the last twelve hours sir but she's stable," one of the men said.
"Well don't just stand there," Jack barked. "Get her to the infirmary."

Janet watched in silence as Jack O' Neill, a Special Ops. trained Colonel in the US Air force sat beside his 2IC's bed. He'd been there all day. He wouldn't eat, he wouldn't leave her, not even to go to the toilet. That was nothing new, he always sat with his team mates all day without eating while they were unconscious in the infirmary. It was different with Sam though, for her he disobeyed a direct order.
Two hours ago General Hammond came into the infirmary and told the Col. he wanted him at the Prometheus debrief.
"No."
"No? Colonel this is not a request." The General said nearly yelling. "It is an order, now I am ordering you to go to this briefing"
Jack didn't respond instead he just sat back down and took Sam's hand. The General knew that nothing on earth would move Jack from that position, so he left him be. The General was right Jack didn't move from that spot in two hours, only letting go of her hand when Janet came to check her IV.
Janet rubbed the back of her neck, she hated waiting for her friends to wake up. It made her feel so helpless. To keep herself busy she started folding Sam's clothes. Then she found it, sticking out of a pocket was a folded piece of paper. Curiosity got the best of her and Janet pulled up a chair and started reading what seemed to be a letter. She cried as she read, seeing her best friends emotions on paper Janet finally saw how alone Sam really felt and why. She had to do something.

Daniel walked to the infirmary with a spring in his step. He couldn't wait to tell Janet what he found. As he entered her office he stopped, she was crying. He was immediately at her side.
"Janet what's wrong?"
Janet looked into Daniel's eyes and saw the concern in them.
"I just found a letter that Sam wrote to Col. O' Neill while she was on the Prometheus. We have to do something Daniel."
Daniel couldn't help but laugh, this was hilarious. Those two really were two of a kind.
"Why are you laughing? This isn't funny Daniel!" Janet yelled.
"Yes it is, let me show you something."
Daniel pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Where did you get this?"
"I was walking past Sam's lab on the way over here and I saw that the door was open. I went in to make sure that nothing was broken and I found this on her desk."
Janet tears quickly stopped and a big smile spread across her face.
"Daniel I have an idea."
