Chapter 7: Sam's Sacrifice
"We have been following these prints for three days, Pete must've had plenty of exercise to carry Sam all the way towards where he has hidden her," Jack mumbled. Daniel nodded and then they heard someone coming. They hid behind the trees and saw Pete walking over to someone.
"Is our ship almost ready?" Pete asked.
Jack's eyes widened. Pete wasn't the normal Pete anymore, he was a Goa'uld "Yes, my lord, we already have the woman and the unborn child into the ship. We'll leave as soon as you enter the ship," the follower replied.
"Lead me there," Pete demanded.
"Yes, my lord."
Pete followed the follower and Jack looked at Daniel. "Which God is he posing as?" Jack asked.
"He's posing as Horus, God of Pharaoh," Daniel replied.
Jack then ran from his hiding place and towards the ship. Daniel and Teal'c hurried after him.
Once they were brought up by the transportation rings, Jack had directed for Teal'c to go left and Daniel to go right while he went straight.
As Jack went through the halls, he heard someone coming and stopped quickly. "Is the host ready, Uncle?" A strong voice asked.
"She has to give birth to her child yet, milord," Horus replied.
"Well, the child should be born soon. My mother needs to put into a host," the man hissed.
"I am aware of that, my nephew. Your mother will have her host soon," Horus assured.
"I hope so, Uncle, because remember, my Grandfather was killed in the hands of a Colonel Jack O'Neill and a Dr. Daniel Jackson. The sooner my mother could have her revenge on Ra's death, the better."
Jack listened attentively and waited for them to be before contacting Daniel. "My mother is the Goddess of War, don't you forget that," the man snapped.
"I am aware of that, my nephew and I am the God of Pharaoh, don't you forget that," Horus snapped right back.
"My mother won't be pleased to hear that her brother is patronizing her son."
"Your mother is my youngest sister. I have more power than she could ever gain."
"Don't be so sure of that. Like my host, your host was hard to control. You had to spy on this woman for weeks before the right time came for you to take her from Earth. Why it took you so long I am still pondering that."
"I only took so long because the host was always with O'Neill, so it was harder to get her. I had to wait until she was alone before I could grab her."
"My mother will be pleased that her host is a strong willed person. Not only that, she is beautiful too."
"I am aware that the woman is beautiful. She is very strong. What should we do with the child once he or she is born?"
"My mother would want it terminated."
"Wouldn't the child be an excellent host for when it becomes of age?"
"No, my mother would want it dead."
Jack's eyes widened, they were going to kill his child once it was born. "Come and get me once the child is born and when the host is ready," he said.
"Yes, my nephew," Horus acknowledged.
Once the man walked pass Jack, he got a good description.
He had shoulder-length blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes, he wore golden colored attire (AN: Sorry, use your imagination. I have a hard time describing what the Goa'uld leaders wear.), and around his neck was a pendant on a golden chain with the shape of a snake.
Jack then decided to contact Daniel. "Daniel," he mumbled.
"What?" Daniel asked.
"I just saw a boy walk pass me that keeps telling Horus that Sam is going to be his mother," he murmured.
"There are plenty of Gods and Goddesses that have had sons. Did he wear a pendant of some sort?"
"Yeah."
"What did it have?"
"It had a snake looking thing."
"I was afraid of that."
"What?"
"Jack, this is going to be hard for you to take in. The young man that came pass you was Nefertem, the son of Ptah. Ptah was a good God; however, Nefertem's mother was Sekhmet. If what you're saying is true, Sam is going to be turned into Sekhmet, the Goddess of War. Horus, the God of Pharaoh, was her brother."
Jack sighed and decided to find his wife.
Sam felt her baby move within her womb. A smile came upon her face and sighed. Her smile faded quickly as the man walked over to the cell. "Who are you and what am I doing here?" She demanded. Nefertem walked over and touched Sam's face.
"You'll be the perfect Queen," he affirmed.
"Is that why you've brought me here? To be your Queen? I don't think so," Sam snapped.
Nefertem didn't say another word. He then turned and walked away. Sam bit her lip as she felt her water break. "Oh, no!" She whispered.
Jack hid behind a wall as Nefertem passed him once again. Jack hurried down the hall and he finally found Sam's cell. Sam was on the floor holding her stomach. Jack opened the door carefully and hurried in. "Sam!" He gasped. Sam looked up and gasped to see her husband standing in front of her.
"Jack; help me," she whimpered.
Jack kneeled in front of her. "I never delivered a baby before," he confirmed.
"I am aware of that, but you have to help me deliver this baby," she whispered.
Jack nodded and held onto her hands. She whimpered in pain and Jack placed a hand over her mouth to muffle the sounds.
Hours passed and then Jack held his child at last. Sam fell back against the wall and gasped. "It's a girl, we have a girl," he sighed. Sam smiled and looked at their daughter. Just then, Nefertem entered the room. Jack's eyes widened when Horus grabbed the infant. A soldier then grabbed Jack and stood him up.
"Step away from the Queen," the soldier demanded.
Jack looked at Sam and watched as they stood her up. "Get the Queen's host ready," Nefertem ordered. She then glared at the child. "Terminate the infant," she ordered.
"NO!" Jack yelled.
Horus turned and knocked Jack to the ground. "Terminate this one too," Nefertem added.
"NO, WAIT!" Sam called out.
They stopped and Sam freed herself from the soldiers' grasps and stepped forward. "If I become your Queen, I ask you no...I beg you to let my husband and my daughter go. If not for my sake, but your Queen's," Sam insisted.
"SAM, NO!" Jack yelled.
"QUIET!" Nefertem hissed.
Jack stopped and Sam looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry," she whispered. She then placed something into his hand before hugging him tight. Jack held her close and sighed sadly. They were then separated and the child was practically shoved into Jack's arms. Sam wiped tears from her eyes and looked at him. "Goodbye," she whispered. Jack held his daughter close and watched as the Goa'uld took Sam away. He took this chance to hurry away.
Daniel was hurrying down the hall with Teal'c when Jack came to them. "We have to find that Tok'ra. They can save Sam, I know they can. I have to rescue my wife. For my daughter, she needs her mother," Jack explained.
"We have to get out of here," Daniel insisted.
Jack nodded and they hurried out of the ship.
Once they came back to Earth, the SGC found it strange that their leader returned with an infant wrapped up in his jacket. "Get the Tok'ra, and that's an order," Jack ordered. They began to find the Tok'ra while Jack went to the infirmary.
Sam was in the most beautiful garments, but tears were falling from her eyes as they held up the Goa'uld that was going to be placed into her.
She wore pale green shoes, a green gown, a lot of bracelets like Nefetem, the same kind of pendant, and a beautiful emerald headdress. She turned her head and cried out in pain as the creature entered her. Her eyes glowed and everyone bowed down to her. "What took you so long, my brother?" She demanded.
"Your host was with child at the time, my sister," Horus replied.
"Did you terminate the child?" She asked.
"No, my sister. Your host was a fighter and she was going to kill us all with her beloved if we didn't let them go. We couldn't terminate the child."
"The child, surely the child's father had a name."
"From what your daughter tells me, the child's father is Jack O'Neill, the man that killed our father, Ra."
"Then you should have killed him."
"I already explained."
"Yes, you have. We better start on our way towards Chulak."
"Yes, my sister."
Sam/Sekhmet sat in her throne and Nefertem sat next to her. "Your host was a fighter too, was he not?"
"Yes, mother, he was a fighter."
"Where did you get this boy?"
"We took him from him tribe. (AN: You know that planet where Sam was traded.) He was a rare prize to find. All of the others had dark hair and dark eyes."
Sekhmet/Sam nodded and then looked forward.
Jack watched as the doctor looked his daughter over before wrapping her up in a warm blanket and placed her into his arms once again. "She is a healthy child. I am surprised, because her mother is in the hands of the Goa'uld," she said.
"Thank you, now if you don't mind, I'd like to go back up to see if they found Jacob," Jack affirmed."Yes, sir."
Jack left the infirmary and towards the briefing room.
Daniel watched as Jack entered and Jacob stood there. "Jacob, we need your help again," Jack said. Jacob was looking at the infant in his arms, he didn't hear what Jack had said. "Jacob," Jack repeated.
"I'm sorry, but is that my grandchild?" Jacob asked.
"Yes, this is Sara Samantha O'Neill," Jack confirmed.
Jacob took the infant into his arms and then Selmak came. "O'Neill, it'll take sometime to track Carter's ship. However, if we keep on track throughout the next couple of months, we should find her in time," he explained.
"My wife has been turned into a Goa'uld, we have to save her. She deserves to be with Sara," Jack insisted.
"Jacob Carter and I understand that, O'Neill, we do not know where they are heading first, so it will take sometime."
"Hopefully it'll be quick. Sam doesn't deserve to be the Goddess of War or whatever."
Selmak came back as Jacob and Jack took his daughter back into his arms. "We'll work as hard as we can," he said. Jack nodded and decided to take his daughter home.
That night, Jack remembered that Sam gave him somthing before he escaped. He opened his hand to reveal a note. He opened and began to read it.
My Beloved Jack,
If you are reading this, I must have become a host, I'm sorry that it had to end this way. I tried my best to fight them, but of course I have become their leader and their Queen. I love you Jack. Tell our baby that I love her too.
Never forget me.
Love,
Samantha Carter/O'Neill
