Chapter 9: Saving Sam

Once they arrived on Jacob's ship, Jack picked Sekhmet up and placed her into the sarcophagus. He stroked her face before stepping back. "They're going to want their Queen back and you know it, Jacob," Jack mentioned.

"I am aware of that, that is why you need to keep her protected," Jacob explained.

"Will she remember anything when she wakes up?" He asked.

"She'll be a little sore, but she'll be all right."

"That's good news."

When they got Sam back to the infirmary, Jack looked at his wife as he waited for her to wake up. Sarah came into the room and placed his daughter into one of the cribs they had in the infirmary. "She did just fine, Jack," she assured.

"More and more good news," he said.

Sarah nodded and smiled. "How is she doing?" She asked.

"She'll be all right. We'll just have to keep her on base for awhile until Horus and Nefertem would stop searching for her."

Sarah nodded and left Jack alone. Jack looked at Sam and stroked the side of her face. He was exhausted, Sam was unconscious for many hours and Jack hadn't slept the whole time they brought Sam back. Daniel finally came in and got Jack to lie down. "You have been awake for nearly nineteen hours. Get some sleep, Jack," Daniel insisted. Jack wanted to argue, but he fell asleep before a word could come out of his mouth.

Sam opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She saw Daniel standing next to a crib and saw Jack fast asleep. "Daniel," she mumbled. Daniel turned and saw Sam awake.

"Sam, you're okay," he stated.

Sam nodded and watched as Jack jumped from where he was sleeping and hurried over to her.

"Sam," he sighed.

Sam sat up and hugged him tight. "Jack," she whispered with tears in her eyes. Jack rocked her back and forth while she lied in his arms. "I'm so sorry, Jack, I didn't mean to hurt you," she sobbed. Jack tried to calm her, but Sam continued to cry. "I'm sorry," she sobbed.

"It wasn't your fault. Those damn Goa'uld are going to pay for what they have done," he assured.

Sam then remembered her baby and let him go. "The baby, where is our baby?" She asked. Jack smiled and stood up. He picked Sara up from her crib and walked over to Sam.

"She's here, Sam, she's here," he affirmed.

Sam took her daughter into her arms and grateful tears fell from her eyes. "Our baby girl. To think that Nefertem was going to destroy you," she whispered.

"He was going to destroy both of us if it weren't for you," Jack pointed out.

Sam kissed her daughter's forehead when she realized that she didn't even know her own child's name. "What did you name her?" She asked.

"Her name is Sara Samantha O'Neill," he replied.

"Sara," she repeated. Sara's eyes opened and she giggled when she saw her mother looking down at her. "How long was I Sekhmet?" She asked.

"Four to five months at the most," Jack replied.

"That long?"

"Well, compared to Sha're, Skaara, and Sarah, you had a short life as a Goa'uld."

Sam nodded and rocked her daughter back and forth. "My little baby girl," she murmured. Jack smiled and held onto her hand. Sam smiled and they looked up as Daniel came into the room.

"They're breaking through the iris. They're coming for Sam," Daniel explained.

Sam looked at Jack in fear and Jack kissed her forehead. "You're protected here," he murmured. He got up and followed Daniel to get ready to hurry to the armory. (AN: That is right, right?) Sam placed Sara into her crib and got changed into the uniform she hadn't worn in a long time. Sarah hurried into the room and gasped to see Sam getting ready to fight.

"Get a gun and get a vest on, we're fighting to protect my baby," Sam ordered.

"They're coming for you," Sarah pointed out.

"They'll kill everyone in their path, I know, but I won't let them kill my baby."

Sarah pulled on a vest and grabbed a gun. Sam stood in front of the crib with Sarah by her side.

Jack stood in the embarkation room with his gun loaded and vest on.

So lately, been wondering who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If the great wave shall fall
It'd fall upon as all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

As the Goa'uld broke through the iris, Jack looked at his men. As soon as the first Goa'uld stepped through the gate, he gave the order. "FIRE!" Jack yelled. They fired at the Goa'uld and watched as more came through. Daniel's eyes widened as a Goa'uld went pass them.

"JACK, ONE MADE IT THROUGH!" He yelled.

Jack looked up and he saw it too. He stood up and hurried out of the room to get the infirmary.

He saw the Goa'uld make it into the room and heard gunshots. "SAM!" He yelled. He hurried into the room to see them firing at the Goa'uld. Jack killed him from behind and saw Sam ready to fight. "I had a feeling that you wouldn't stay put," he remarked.

"Are you kidding, I have been away from this for a long time. I think it's time for me to kick back," she remarked.

Jack chuckled then he heard more Goa'uld coming. "Grab Sara we have to get out of here," Jack ordered. Sam grabbed Sara and they hurried out of the infirmary.

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Daniel finally caught up with them and Sarah hugged him tight. "Thank God you're okay," she sighed. Daniel hugged her back and looked at Jack and Sam.

"Are you two okay?" He asked.

"We're fine, Danny, we just need to make sure that these Goa'uld don't get Sam," Jack replied.

Sam agreed, but she didn't know what to do with Sara. "We have to hide her somehow," Sam pointed out.

"I'll take her," a voice offered. They looked to their sides to see Jacob standing there.

"You'll take Sara?" Sam asked.

"Selmak and I will bring her onto our ship and until we receive some sort of signal from you, we'll stay put. If you give us a signal to go, we'll take her to our world where she'll be protected," Jacob replied.

Sam nodded and looked at Jack. Jack agreed and Sam placed Sara into his arms. She gave him a walkie talkie and watched as he went to his ship with her child. Jack wrapped an arm around her shoulders and held her close. "Jacob will protect her from harm," Jack whispered.

"I know that, I just hope that I don't have to send out that signal," Sam mumbled.

They hurried away when the soldiers came their way. "THERE THEY ARE!" A soldier yelled.

When they came to what they thought was an empty room, the fell back against the wall. "Well, I think we lost them," Sam panted.

"Wrong," a familiar voice sneered.

Sam's eyes widened and she stood up. Jack stood in front of her.

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If the great wave shall fall
It'd fall upon as all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

"This is your last chance, Horus, go home," Jack ordered.

"Not until we have our Queen returned to us," Horus snapped.

Jack felt Sam's grip tighten on his hand. "You won't get her back," Jack snarled. He pulled out his gun and aimed it at Horus. Horus pulled out a staff weapon and pointed it out to Jack. Jack pulled the trigger, but nothing came out.

"JACK!" Sam screamed.

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Horus shot at Jack. "NO!" Sam screamed. Jack was waiting for the blast to come and closed his eyes. However, it never came. Jack opened his eyes and gasped.

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If i could, then i would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If i could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If i could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

AN: Arwennicole dodges from things being thrown at her. I'm sorry for stopping, I'm very, very sorry, however, I want you to guess who it is. I'm taking a poll and here are your choices: Sam, Daniel, or Sarah. You'll find out who it really is in the next chapter. Goodbye.
