A/N: ok I have a new muse, a mouse named Kathryn, who thinks that the last chapter was awful by the way. (I personally think shes crazy and has an overactive imagination... but anyway). Gotta work really hard now, thanks for the reviews. I of course own nothing except for Jesslyn, everything else belongs to SciFi and MGM Studios. Thanks to starzkissed16 for being my beta.

Chapter 7: Extraction

Last time...

"Well what is it Jesslyn," asked the General. Jesslyn took a deep breath as Crystalin surfaced and she told him about the fighting and rumors that had been floating around Alpha Site.

Alpha Site the night before...

After arriving at Alpha Site Jesslyn paced her tent, being unable to sleep and not wanting to wake her father up to go find Jacob, -that is if he's still awake-, she wanted to ask him about Samantha and that conversation she'd overheard. As she turned to pace back across the flap on the tent opened to reveal none other than Jacob Carter.

"You wanted to see me," he asked.

"Yeah..." she replied "Um... would you mind telling me... I mean I know it's none of my business but... what's going on with Sam? I was just randomly strolling by the infirmary when she was talking to Janet and well..." pulling on her ear and taking a deep breath she plunged ahead quickly. "What's going on and why am I not in on it?!"

"Maybe you should talk to your father about that... in the morning that is, he needs his rest. He has enough stress. Now go to bed, its not that long 'til morning and your extraction. You'll want to be rested."

The next morning...

Before the extraction was due to begin, Jesslyn was already up and pacing her tent again, but this time with more anxiety then before. Her tent flap opened again this time for her father. She could tell he was worried, as he didn't have any bounce in his step or that flippant attitude he was so prone too. "Daddy, what's the matter?" she asked.

Jack looked down into the eyes of his daughter, "I'm just scared that I might lose you again sweetie. I don't want that to happen." Jesslyn hugged her dad, "don't worry I'll be fine. Besides nothing bad could happen to me now could it."

"You've gotta point there little miss. I'll see you when you come out of surgery."

"Love you, Daddy."

"I love you to sweetheart." Said Jack.

Just then Jacob walked in the tent, "it's time."

"Bye," Jesslyn said sadly as she walked out, Jacks eyes following her 'til she got out of sight.

He started to walk after them but paused just outside the tent lost in his thoughts. Just then Sam walked up hugging him from behind, "she's right... it'll be just fine, trust me."

A/N: Next part coming soon, preferably tomorrow
