A/N: HEY ALL! Here's The next chappy.

----------------------------------------

Jack walked into the house. It was warm and lit up. He smelt the dinner cooking on the stove.

"Ohh hey Kerry..." Jack said and dumped the one present he got. He walked into the kitchen.

"So what'd you get? You were gone a long time, you must have finished all your shopping?" She said turning herself around and wrapping her arms around Jack.

Jack pulled away, "Umm I only got Daniel's present, I bumped into a... a friend." He said, and went to the fridge for a beer.

"Oh, who?" She asked as she went back to the stove.

"Carter." He said opening his beer. "Crap, I forgot your shopping..."

Kerry stopped stirring the food in the pot, "You bumped into Samantha Carter?"

"Yeah." He nodded and drank his beer. "I only got Danny's present..."

"So you were with her practically the entire time?"

"Umm I dunno, most of it I guess. I met her when you called me the first time..." He said not catching on that Kerry was jealous.

"Why didn't you tell me you weren't shopping and were with her?" She turned around and looked at Jack

"But I was shopping, she was just there... Kerry come on, she's a friend..." Jack said and smiled at Kerry. "Are you Jealous?"

"Right just a friend, of course I'm jealous, you have history with her, not a very romantically extensive one but still"

"And if I was out with Daniel would we be having this conversation? No! She's my 2IC!" Jack said standing upright.

She smelt burning coming from behind her; She turned off the stove and oven. "Damn it." she said fanning the smoke into the air vent, trying to not have enough escape to set of the fire alarm

Jack groaned and pressed the button to turn off the fire alarm. "Kerry nothing is going with Sam, but if you have a problem with me and her seeing each other and hanging out then you're better to leave cause she is a good friend to me."

Kerry walked over to Jack; "I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you" She said and kissed him.

Jack nodded. "So you're ok with her hanging about with me now mom?" He asked sarcastically.

Kerry playfully hit Jack "yeah, you don't think there be any chances of her transferring do ya?" she joked.

"Kerry!" Jack warned and smiled

"Doesn't hurt to ask... so since dinner is now ruined on my part... shall we have Chinese or pizza?"

"Pizza!" Jack said and grabbed the phone. "Ok It'll be here soon!" He smiled at Kerry.

She smiled back at him.

The door went and Jack got up, "I'll get it, it's probably Pizza." HE grabbed his wallet and walked to the door.

Kerry grabbed Jack's beer and grabbed herself a bitch beer and flipped on the TV.

Jack opened the door and stood Daniel and Teal'c were standing at the door with not so happy faces

"What happened?" Jack frowned.

Daniel lifted his head. "From what Pete said over the phone, she was leaving their house with her stuff, she was packing her stuff... someone drove right into her car, hitting her as well..."

"Oh my, that's terrible" Kerry said getting up from the couch and running to stand beside Jack.

"Packing?" He whispered. "Which hospital?"

Teal'c named off the hospital Carter was taken to. "We're going now, if you want a ride," Daniel said.

"You should go" Kerry said, "I'll stay here, you can keep me updated?"

"Yeah...." Jack said to all questions. He grabbed his jacket and walked to Daniel's car. He was pale and didn't speak the entire way to the Hospital. All he thought was that she was packing...

Teal'c had driven and parked the car. They all got out and went up to the ICU to meet up with Pete.

Pete looked at Jack, "What are you doing here?" He sneered at Jack.

Jack stopped and looked at Pete, "I'm not in the mood Pete. Where's Sam?"

"I'm not telling you, you're the reason she's in here!" Pete yelled at Jack.

"Samantha Carter is our friend" Teal'c said to Pete.

A nurse told the men to keep it quiet.

"She doesn't need HIS friendship!" Pete said looking at Jack.

Jack swallowed, "Move Shanhan. I mean it. She was leaving... get it in your head. Now let me passed to see her...."

"No! And besides, no one's allowed to see her, believe me I've tried!" A nurse scolded the guys once again. Threatening if they can't keep it down they'll be escorted out of the hospital

Danny and Teal'c were at the Nurse's station trying to get as much information they could about Sam.

"That's where I can go over your head...." He sneered, "Excuse me I'm General Jonathan O'Neill. My 2IC Lt. Col. Samantha Carter was brought in."

"I'm sorry General" The nurse said, "no one's allowed to see her"

"Told you" Pete said over to Jack.

"This is an Air force matter. Please..." He looked at the nurse. "I need to see her." He said quietly so only the nurse heard. "I'll be two seconds. Promise..."

"I'll go check with the Doctor" The nurse said, left and then returned. "You have 1 minute General"

Daniel and Teal'c took a seat in the waiting room

Jack looked at Pete and walked into Sam's room.

Sam looked pretty bad, red stained bandages, bruises forming, cuts, tubes from her attached to multiple machines. She was not in good shape.

Another nurse was checking Carters vitals.

Jack felt tears sting his eyes, "Sam."

Sam wasn't conscious and even if she were she wouldn't be able to speak as she had a breathing tube down her throat.

Jack covered his mouth and walked over to her bedside. "If I just had said nothing and took you with me... I made the wrong decision...." He whispered holding her hand. "Sam. I'm sorry..." Jack allowed the tears to roll down his face.

The nurse that let Jack in came and stood by the door. "General, you'll need to leave now, you and your friends can visit her tomorrow during visiting hours"

"We'll be transporting her to Cheyenne Mountain. We have a good medical department there. There will be a pick up here first thing." He informed her.

"We'll be waiting for the proper paper work for transportation." the nurse.
