A/N: Sorry I took so long. I was, obviously, stalling for time. my thoughts are a little haywire as it is. Anyway, some of y'all need to flippin' read. Jesslyn's father is Mark Carter, Sam's brother. This, I guess, is an AU. But still, READ why don't ya?! Here's the next chapter. I own nothing 'cept Jesslyn.
Chapter 8: How bad it feels
Last time...
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."
After extraction...
Jesslyn woke up several hours later laying in bed with an IV in her arm. She looked over to her right and saw a card on the table next to her. She reached over to grab it and read it. This is what it said:"Oh, why has my child's life past me on by;It has been but much of a small, short glimpse.
You have been able to do nothing but lye
in hopes of seeing your dad, not a nymph.
Even though you were just a little girl,
Your life has been very blessed to me.
Even when your life went into a complete whirl,
You always managed to stay true to thee.
Now I see you're scared and unable to hide,
Be brave, young one, for I am with you now.
They are not going to wait and to bide,
For they know that in someway and somehow,
You will never give up without a fight,
And I will be there with all of my might."
I love you tons Jesslyn
DadJesslyn nearly started crying as soon as she finished reading the card. -I love my daddy. But I know that he had to have had some help with this from someone. But who?- she thought. Just then, Jack walked into the tent where Jesslyn was at."Hey Jess. How ya feelin'?" he inquired.Jesslyn smiled and then grimaced as she moved around to get comfortable. "Okay, I guess. I'm a little sore here and there but otherwise I'm fine. At least I don't look like the guy next to me."Jack grinned at his daughter as he knew that his sarcasm was starting to rub off on her. "How's it feel to not have Crystalin/Nyletak in you?""Strange to say the least. I got real used to having Crystalin help me out whenever I was in trouble. Nyletak, I'm actually glad she's gone. She was a brat to me anyway. But Crystalin was cool though. I wonder what's gonna happen to them?""Jacob should be able to tell you. Besides he said that you should be up and around by tommorrow at the least.""Yeah! Speaking of which, where is he anyway? I really wanted to talk to him.""He's busy right now. How 'bout we talk to him later.""All right," said Jesslyn haltingly. "I'm gonna rest some more. See ya later Dad. Oh, and thanks for the card.""You're welcome sweetie. See ya," said Jack as he left the tent.While Jess was trying to fall back asleep, she thought about her father's card again. "Dad had to have gotten help from someone. I wonder if Sam or Daniel are here."A/N 2: Like it? Review then and NO FLAMES!
