"Jack you should really eat something, you've been here a long time." Daniel said as he joined him by Sam's bed.
"Later." Jack said softly not looking away from her sleeping form.
"I can stay with her if you want to go grab a shower or something. She won't be alone if she wakes up." Daniel tried to sound as casual as possible.
"What time is it?"
"Just after two?"
"PM?" Jack asked.
"AM Jack. You've been here about 13 hours." Daniel said lightly.
"Oh. Hope no one called."
"Davis is taking calls. And the red phone hasn't rung so there isn't anything important you've missed." Daniel said.
"I really couldn't care." Jack mumbled.
"Jack I know Sam means..." Daniel was cut off by Jack raising his hand up.
"I don't want to hear it."
"She's going to be fine Jack." Daniel tried to sound as reassuring as possible but he was doubting his own words.
"I guess I should get some sleep." Jack said. Daniel half expected him to leave but Jack simply walked over and pushed the empty bed next to Sam's over so there was about half a meter between them. Daniel said noting as Jack jumped onto the bed and rolled to his side so he was facing her.
Jack had been asleep for an hour when Doctor Brightman came in.
"Dr Jackson...what's going on?" She asked looking at Jack.
"I told him he should get some rest." Daniel answered her.
"Right, well I guess it's better than a chair."
"And he is the commander of the base and Sam is one of his best friends so this is nothing." Daniel added.
"So I can expect to see him here a bit until Colonel Carter is back on her feet?" She asked.
"Not just him." Daniel told her.
"I have some of the preliminary test results back." Brightman said.
"Anything you can share?" Daniel asked.
"I want to do some more tests. But things are looking better."
"Forgive my bluntness but Sam is unconscious. How is that looking better?" Daniel asked.
"Well we have ruled out some of the more serious possibilities. Right now my main concern is her fever. If it gets any higher, it could cause any number of problems. So right now that is what I am focusing on."
"What about the bleeding?" Daniel asked.
"That is something I would like to discuss with Colonel Carter."
"Doctor if I know Sam, and I do, she would want us to know to save her going through the pain of telling us. This way we can focus on supporting her. Tell me please." Daniel pleaded.
"In all honesty I can't. My duty as her doctor prevents it..."
"DOCTOR! Did Sam miscarry or was it something else?" Daniel almost flipped his chair up as he stood. Everyone in the room was stunned to see the normally placid man get so worked up so quickly.
"Come into my office." Brightman said walking away.
"Excuse me?" Sam asked in disbelief.
"You heard correct Samantha. You are in fact the third time this species has come to be. You are destined for great things."
"That's impossible. There is no way that we the same species could evolve three times in the same form, same cellular structure...there is just no way." Sam said.
"Why not Samantha?" The voice asked.
"Because we...humans have...it just..." Sam could not form a logical thought. Her mind was reeling at this knowledge.
"Open your mind Samantha. Your race is destined for great things. And whilst you may not see it, you will play an important role for the billions that do."
"If what you're saying is true, that is not going to happen for millions of years. How could I possibly play any part in that?" Sam asked.
"You do not believe that you are significant in the outcome of your race? That you and your fellow team members will not play a vital role in this plan?" The voice asked.
"No, Any contributions we make will be forgotten, upgraded, proven wrong...It's not possible."
"After everything you have seen you still deny this? After what you have witnessed with your own eyes you cannot accept this as fact?" The voice asked in surprise.
"I just don't see how I could be that significant."
"Then maybe I am not the one who should show you."
"Who then?"
"Someone you trust." Sam felt a sudden change as someone was instantaneously in the room with her. Sam turned slowly to see who was now with her. Sam felt her heart lurch and managed to catch her breath after a few seconds of staring at the figure in front of her.
"Mom!" She gasped.
"Later." Jack said softly not looking away from her sleeping form.
"I can stay with her if you want to go grab a shower or something. She won't be alone if she wakes up." Daniel tried to sound as casual as possible.
