"Did we miss anything?" Jack asked as they walked back through the gate.
"No Jack. You weren't gone long enough."
"Good. We'll be in the infirmary." Jack handed over his zat and his vest which he'd take off as soon as they started walking down the ramp."How's my little girl doing Janet?" Jacob asked as they walked into the infirmary.
"Her fever is holding steady, but if it remains this high we're thinking of an ice-bath." Janet replied. "Other than that she has a retrovirus that we can't cure."
"Selmac wants to see her blood work." Jacob said.
"Of course. We have a virologist here too he's look at alternative cures."
"Good." Jacob he leant over and kissed her forehead. "We'll get you through this Sammy."
"You know you're the only one she lets call her that." Jack commented.
"It's by virtue of being her father." Jacob replied.
"Speaking of that, Janet where's baby Jacob?" Jack asked.
"Cassie is helping Marianne watch him for now. I think they were borrowing one of Daniel's dictionaries of mythological figures." Janet replied.
"Okay." Jack replied.
"The baby is still on the base I thought you would have arranged something for him by now." Jacob said.
"Sam wants us to adopt him. She's filled out the paperwork to be removed from SG-1 and transferred to the lab permanently."
"What do you say?"
"I like the kid. It's what she wants she's thought this through. The whole base supports us, but we have to wait for Hammond to get back tomorrow to talk it over." Jack replied.
"Well we'd better get her back on her feet then." Jacob replied.
"Thanks. I'll be here." Jack replied.
Jacob left to go in search of the virologist.
"How's it going?" Daniel asked walking into the lab. Jacob, Janet and the virologist were there.
"Well we're no where nearer a cure than we were an hour ago." Janet replied.
"Daniel tell me exactly what happened?" Jacob asked.
"They were supposed to be having a barbeque, but I got there early Sam had just got back from the store and she and Jack were in the kitchen. We talked; Sam sent Jack to light the barbeque. She gave me a can of soda and was putting the beer in the refrigerator, we were still talk and she passed. I caught her before she hit the floor, she was burning up. I yelled for Jack, he called Janet and we brought her here."
"And what has she been doing since I saw her last?" Jacob asked.
"She took a couple days leave. Went to Jack's cabin in Minnesota, but she was only gone thirty six hours at most. When she got back she snuck onto the base to see baby Jacob. She'd been shopping that morning. Then later that night Jack had called her in to come and rescue Teal'c, SG-4 and I."
"What happened?" Jacob asked.
"We went to P6X 281 to look at some ruins. Teal'c was attempting to take a photograph for me when the ground gave way under him and he fell into a pit. I went to help him and more ground fell away and I fell in. As did SG-4. Sam came and had everyone build this web to help get us out." Daniel explained.
"Don't forget the flash back." Janet replied.
"What flash back?" Jacob questioned."While she was there she spaced out for a couple of minutes. The Colonel said when was focused again she said she had flash back from Jollinar. That it was the planet that the Tok'ra had tested the crystals for the tunnels on."
"Why didn't someone mention that before?" Jacob asked.
"We didn't think it was relevant." Janet replied."The Tok'ra abandoned that planet because it was unstable from the tunnels but also because we tunnelled into something that had toxic properties and reacts with the naqquadah in our blood to make the Tok'ra sick. How's Teal'c?"
"He's been fine and he was on the planet a lot longer than Sam." Daniel pointed out.
"But his symbiote would have cured him. But Sam has the naqquadah but not the healing properties so it's slowly poisoning her."
"What about the retrovirus?" Janet questioned.
"It will have triggered that." Jacob replied.
"So what do we do?"
"Everyone who has been sick from this had a symbiote to cure them. Sam doesn't."
"You want to give her a symbiote?" Daniel questioned. "Jack will never agree to that."
"And we don't have a symbiote in need of a host at present. But right now we a sample of Teal'c's blood."
"I'll go and find him." Daniel offered.
"And we need to get her temperature down." Jacob said to Janet.
"Ice bath it is."
"If that doesn't work try the walk in freezer."
