A/N: Just want to say thanks to all my reviewers. One more chapter to go after this one and I think this story will be done.

Oh and yes I know I'm mean for leaving you hanging, but hey it got you wanting to come back for more right? Also I know some of you aren't very happy with me for killing Sam and will probably be more upset with me after this chapter. I'm sorry but in order for this to fit as a prequel to my story 'The Otherside' these things have to be done. Please don't hurt me.

When Jack had seen the look of sorrow on Janet's face he knew that Sam, the love of his life, was gone. He couldn't take it anymore, all the looks of pity and sympathy he was getting, he had to get out of there. Dealing with their own grief nobody noticed Jack take off down the corridor.

It wasn't until the alarms and klaxons signaling an unauthorized gate activation sounded that anyone noticed Jack's absence. Turning to head to the gate room General Hammond first became aware that Jack was missing Jacob was next. Meeting each other's eyes the two friends quickly sprinted to the gate room.

While Hammond went to check on the people in the control room Jacob entered the gate room.

"Jack wait!" Jacob shouted as he entered the room and spotted Jack standing at the base of the Stargate.

"They're not safe with me, Jacob." Jack turned to step through the gate, but hesitated a second. "Keep them safe Jacob." With that Jack stepped through the gate.

Looking up at the control room window Jacob could see Hammond standing there looking at the now shut down gate. Both shared confused looks, they knew Jack would be hurting, but of all the things they thought he might do this hadn't been any where close to being one of them. Getting over his shock General Hammond quickly arranged for a search to begin to bring Jack back and Jacob returned to the infirmary.

Returning to the infirmary Jacob found things similar to the way he'd left them. Daniel was holding onto a crying Janet, Cassie was sitting just inside the infirmary holding Ryan, with Teal'c standing next to her chair his arms wrapped around Shayla, and CJ was sat next to Sam's bed with one hand holding onto one of Sam's lifeless hands and holding Trey with his other arm.

Jacob slowly approached CJ's side and laid a comforting hand on the back of CJ's neck. "He's gone isn't he?" CJ's tone of voice made it sound more like a statement than a question.

"Yeah." Was all Jacob could say.

Jacob was having trouble dealing with every thing that had happened the last couple of days and he had Selmak's help, he could only imagine what CJ was going through. It was bad enough he'd just lost his mother, but now he'd lost his father as well. Jacob swore right then and there at that moment he'd do what ever it took to keep his grandchildren safe and protected from the pain of life the best he could.

A silent ten year old CJ stared stonily a head, looking just above the gleaming white casket. Tears shone in his eyes, threatening to fall, but were determinedly fought back.

He could hear the people around him whispering quietly, but ignored them. Most of the people there didn't really know her not like he did. They didn't know her favorite show was MASH or that her favorite color was rose red. These people didn't know she sang the same song to him every night since he was born or that she loved to purposely confuse his dad. But of course he knew these, she was his mother after all: was being the key word.

But none of that mattered now, because she was gone, about to be lowered into a hole in the ground. The tears in his eyes burned, but he managed to hold them back, but just barely.

CJ tore his gaze away from the casket and unconsciously looked around for his dad: but he wasn't there either. Right after his mother passed away his father had taken off, just left with out so much as a word. CJ's gaze hardened and he clenched his fists. He cold have seen his mother one last time before she died, but his father hadn't let him.

Everyone had been so sure she would be fine, that she was going to be home any time, after all she was a member of SG-1: the team with more lives than every cat on earth put together. But they had been wrong she hadn't been fine, she was never coming home again.

Finally one single tear escaped from his eye and fell down his face. People had commented on how brave and grown up CJ had been acting, but the truth was he was nothing but a little boy, scared and lost in a world of sadness, who wanted nothing more than to just break down and wake up from this nightmare.
