A/N- This may be the last one for tonight. I have not watched an episode of Stargate today and am in withdrawal. You know how it is. Oh I forgot to mention. I am going to pretend that the episode Threads (which will hopefully be the episode we have all been waiting for!!!!!) is not going to happen. Just to clarify. Could someone who is brutally honest please tell me if I am writing the characters wrong? Dialogue wise that is. I need to know

"Gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news." Dr Brightman said to the four of them. Teal'c had joined them in her office.
"What information do you have concerning Colonel Carter?" Teal'c asked.
"It seems as if her fever has dropped, now it is only minimal, but it is a good sign." Dr Brightman said.
"The bad news?" Pete asked.
"She's bleeding again. Now I have no idea if it just residual blood, the clotting has thined..like when you wet a cut, another cyst or worse case scenario, she is hemorrhaging again."
"Oh no..." Daniel said looking at the floor.
"Well what can we do?" Pete asked.
"We know what we do." Jack said before the doctor could respond.
"I wasn't talking to you." Pete said.
"Well I am talking to you." Jack almost growled.
"I have to suggest that we get her in for surgery right away. I highly doubt we will be able to treat her effectively without it." Brightman said trying to calm the room.
"Do it." Jack said standing up.
"You can't!"
"Oh yes I can. I will not sit back and watch a good officer and my friend die knowing that I could have done something to stop it. Pete you are not my concern. Go see Carter then get off my base; you are officially banned from the Chyenne Mountain Complex. I am going to suggest to Carter when she wakes up that she not ask me to revoke that." Jack slammed the infirmary door as he left.
"Come on." Daniel said. "I'll take you to her." The two walked off in the direction of Sam's bed.
"Is he always like that?" Pete asked.
"Only when he knows he is right. And from past experience he usually is. He is a good man. He has done a lot for us, a lot for Sam."
"Oh I'm sure." Pete said.
"Yeah, if I were you I would probably cool it with that kind of talk. He gets a little edgy and it could create a lot of problems." Daniel said.
"Just call it like I see it."
"Well be advised that calling it like you see it could cost Sam her job if someone believes it." Daniel told him. He was beginning to feel some of Jack's frustration.
"So your saying I am totally wrong in my assumption that he has a thing for Sam, some unrequited obsession that is lucky it did not get them both killed." Pete said.
"No, but you are totally wrong in saying that it has been unrequited. And that it was a strike against the team, it probably saved them more than once." Daniel said. Pete had to fight to keep his jaw from hitting the floor.
"I don't believe it. You really think that he could be anything to her. He is nowhere near good enough for her. Aside from the age difference, the emotional baggage alone would drive her away." Pete said.
"I think it's safe to assume that you know nothing about his emotional baggage and that is one area you really don't want to touch." Daniel was definitely feeling the annoyance now.
"Please Daniel, Sam may be a little unsteady on her feet when it comes to dating but she has some taste in partners." Pete said.
"Not from where I'm standing." Daniel said under his breath.
"How can you defend him so readily?" Pete asked.
"When you have seen the things I have seen, and when you have a man like Jack O'Neill in your corner, you can not help but defend him. He has done a lot for me and I owe him many thanks." Daniel said with a hint of little brother pride in his voice.
"Yeah well good luck with that. Do you mind if I have a few minutes alone?" Pete said pointing to Sam.
"Sure." Daniel said backing out of the room right into Jack. The smile he was wearing showed he obviously had heard what he said.
"Don't think to much of it Jack I was just trying to shut him up." Daniel said. Jack slapped him on the back.
"Spacemonkey I never know you cared." Jack said with a smile. "How long should I give him? Jack asked.
"As long as you would want." Daniel replied.
"I don't have that long." Jack said looking down at the floor.
"Just give him a few minutes." Daniel said.
Fifteen minutes later Jack quietly entered the infirmary and went to the side of Sam's bed.
"Come to kick me out?" Pete asked.
"Come to tell you that she has to go in now, but I have arranged a room for you to wait in and that there is coffee and whatever else you want available in the commissary." Jack said. "The rest of SG 1 would like a minute." Jack said motioning towards Daniel and Teal'c who were waiting by the door.
"Sure." Pete said getting up.
"Pete," Jack said, "This is the right thing."
"Who are you trying to convince Jack? Me or yourself?" Pete replied. He placed a small kiss on Sam's forehead and made his way past Daniel and Teal'c and left the infirmary.
Daniel and Teal'c stepped forward, each taking a side of the bad and taking one of Sam's hands in there own.
"I look forward to serving with you soon Colonel Carter." Teal'c said bowing his head.
"You'll be good Sam. I know it." Daniel said kissing her fingers. The two stepped back to allow Jack to come forward. As he reached her side he gave them a look that could not be misread. The two walked out to give him some privacy. Jack watched her still form for a while as he held her hand. Her skin was clammy from her fever and her hair was damp from sweat. The flush in her cheeks would have normally been quiet fetching, but under the circumstances Jack did not find it so appealing.
Not knowing what else to do, and seeing that he was indeed alone, he leaned in a placed a soft kiss on her lips.
"So help me Carter," he whispered, "you better wake up from this, because if you don't, I'll be right behind you."
A/N- OMG I made my self all depressed!
