Part 5 - Hospitality Gone Wrong

"It's nice to meet you, Sam"

"It's nice to meet you too." Just then a door upstairs opened.

"Dad! My game starts in twenty minutes. We have to leave." a voice yelled from upstairs.

"Okay Charlie." Jack yelled back. Sam took a seat on the couch feeling dizzy and watched the scene before her. A boy not much older than ten came running down the stairs in a baseball uniform. He went up to Jack.

"Where's my glove, Dad?"

"Check the spare room or the backyard." Jack replied, swiping a hand through the boys hair. He turned his attention back to his wife. "Can you keep Sam company while I go to the game?"

"Sure. I can tell her all your secrets." Sara replied with a grin.

"Not to many. I have a reputation to protect at work."

"Oh, yeah. Wouldn't want the boys to know THE Colonel O'Neill is a romantic." He was just about to reply, but was interrupted.

"Dad! Hurry up!" Charlie yelled from outside.

"Come back in here and tell your mom goodbye." Charlie ran back in the house up to his mom.

"Bye, mom. Love you."

"Love you too, Charlie. Good luck and get a homerun for me." she called after the exiting boy. She turned her attention back to Jack. "I'll see you later. I love you."

"I love you too." he replied giving her a kiss then following Charlie.

Sara and Sam got along great. They sat in the living room and talked about everything. Three pots of coffee later, Sara told Sam to make herself comfortable while she made dinner. Fifteen minutes later the doorbell rang.

"Sam, can you get that?" Sara asked her from the kitchen.

"Sure." replied Sam as she walked over to the door and opened it up. "Jonas?!" she tried shutting the door, but Jonas' foot stopped it.

"Now, Samantha, is that any way to greet your husband and the father of your child?"

"Sam, who's at the door?" Sara asked coming into the front hall. She froze when Jonas grabbed Sam and put her in a neck hold, then pulling out a gun.

"Jonas, let her go. You only want me, not her." He turned her around to look her in the eyes. There was complete silence. Sam broke it, "She didn't do anything to deserve this, just let her leave."

"I don't know. I was expecting O'Neill to be here, but I guess I'll settle for the next best thing. Let me think about this." Jonas looked at Sara then back at Sam. Before Sam knew what was happening, she felt a slap across her face. He backed Sam up against the wall, "Stay there." he told Sara. He turned his attention back to Sam, "Since you want O'Neill's wife to live, I'll make you a deal," When Sam shook her head, he continued, "you terminate the pregnancy, I'll let her live." he let her think about it for a moment. "I told you I didn't want this child. I told you no matter what it wasn't going to happen."

"Give me a minute with Sara." He back away and let her go to Sara.

"Listen Sara, I'm going with Jonas-"

"Sam, don't give up your child for me." Sara cut her off.

"I'm not letting you die. You already have a husband and a son. After we leave do not call anyone. Wait until the Colonel comes home. Tell him not to come looking for me or worry. Tell them that I don't want to be found at the moment."

"Sam, rethink this." Sara pleaded with her.

"Samantha, what is your decision?" Jonas asked.

"I'll go with you. Sara is not going to get hurt and you'll never bother them again."

Jonas held the gun up, pointing it to Sam.

"Jonas, what are you doing? I said I'd go with you."

"We aren't going anywhere, Samantha. I've been planning this ever since O'Neill came into the picture."

"What does the Colonel have to do with this?" she asked confused.

"Don't you think I've heard the rumors?"

"Jesus Christ Jonas. That's all they are. Rumors. I'm not that kind of person and you know it."

"Really? Well, let's see, what about Tom? Or Paul?"

"I can't believe your bringing this up. That was before us. You have old flings and I'm not pointing a gun at you." she yelled. She felt another blow to the face. He pulled Sam to her feet and she looked back at Sara. He pointed the gun at Sam's stomach. Right before he pulled the trigger he leaned in and whispered in Sam's ear,

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise." Sam knew in that second that he was also going to kill Sara. He pulled the trigger and she felt the pain in her stomach. She couldn't stop the tears from coming. She heard another gun shot and opened her eyes. Jonas came back over to Sam and kissed her before he left. She got up her strength and made her way over to Sara. He shot her in the upper right chest.

"I'm sorry. God, I'm so sorry."

"Don't blame yourself, Sam." she was caught short by coughing up blood. "That cant be good." she took a breath. "Just tell Jack and Charlie I love them."

"No. Don't say goodbye. You're going to make it." Sara lost consciousness. "No!" yelled Sam. About five minutes later, Sam let the blackness also take her.

"Way to go, kiddo. Wait until your mom hears about your winning hit."

"Can we go out for ice cream after dinner?" Charlie asked.

"You betcha, sport."

The rest of the car ride home was spent talking about how the other team was and bad and that was why Charlie's team won. When Jack turned the corner and saw the police and ambulance we quickly parked the car. "Charlie, stay here. Don't move." He got to the driveway in time to see Sam on a gurney. "Carter?" she didn't answer, "Sam?" It sounded like he was pleading in his own ears. Her eyes fluttered open.

"I'm sorry, Colonel. I'm…" The paramedic put his fingers on her throat.

"We lost the pulse. Starting CPR." the paramedic informed the others.

More paramedics came with another gurney. "Oh God, Sara. Sara! Wake up." he turned to the paramedic wheeling the gurney. "What hospital are you going to?"

"Memorial Hospital."

Jack ran to his car and grabbed his cell phone. "Janet, it's Jack. Meet me at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs. It's Sara and Carter. They've both been shot…Get Daniel to drive you and Teal'c there."

"Dad?" Charlie's eyes were filled with unshed tears.

"Your mother was shot. That's all I know."

"She's going to die, isn't she? Tommy's uncle got shot and he died."

"The doctors will do all they can."

They got there just as Janet, Daniel, Teal'c and Hammond showed up. Jack was the only one allowed to see Sara. The others waited in the waiting room. Forty five minutes later Jack returned to the room.

"Charlie," he took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, buddy."

"No!" he started running, but Jack caught him. "No, she's alive, she has to be. I never told her about my home run. We never went out to dinner." he said between sobs. The scene brought tears to the others eyes. Father and son stayed in a hug for a while. Jack comforting Charlie with his own tears falling. A while later a doctor came in.

"Sam?" Janet asked the doctor. Within the last year, the two had formed a very close friendship, being the few women on base.

"She's alive, but not breathing on her own. She lost a lot of blood and the next forty eight hours will be critical as to the future." he replied solomnly.

"The baby?" Daniel asked.

"I'm sorry. The bullet got the baby. We were unable to save it. The baby did save her life. Whoever shot her knew what he was doing." the doctor informed them.

General Hammond walked out of the waiting room going to make a phone call. Over the last couple of years, Samantha Carter-Hanson made a lot of friends. She was someone who once you met, you couldn't hate her. She grew closest with SG-1, them being the team bringing back the most technology. "Yes, this is General Hammond…if you would please contact the Tok'ra and tell them to send Jacob/Selmak immediately…Thank you."

When he returned, Janet was gone and Jack was sitting with a still crying Charlie. Jack went to leave the room when Hammond stopped him by grabbing his arm. "Jack, are you sure you should be driving?"

"I have to take Charlie to his grandparents and tell them what happened."

"Just drive carefully. Where is Doctor Fraiser?"

"Getting everything from Sam's doctor and sitting with her for a while." Jack started walking away when he stopped. "We are going to get the bastard, right?"

"Well, he is under my command so we do have jurisdiction to go after him. I'll see if the police found any fingerprints that weren't Sam's or any of your families."

"Thank you, General."
