Part 3

"I love you so much….this is going to change a lot of things y'know." Jack whispered between kisses. "I know, we have a lot to decide…together."

"Together." Jack repeated as he kissed Sam again.

The decision that they made together after weeks of thinking about it was that Jack would retire but run the SGC as a civilian and Sam would continue to SG-1. "Jack are you sure this is what you want?" Daniel asked as he walked around Jack's office after carefully closing the door. The other male looked up at him. "Daniel, both Sam and I discussed this, and it's what we both want, and can have without getting into trouble. Plus I'm still going to be here, I can still do the same things…it's just that I'm no longer with the air force." Jack answered with a shrug. Daniel shook his head. "Yeah, I guess your right, I mean this way you and Sam can be together without hiding it." A smile came across Jacks face, Daniel was right. They had been hiding their relationship for weeks, but had a feeling everyone all ready knew. The two of them sat in silence for what seemed like hours when Jack rose from his seat. "Y'know, I'm going to go and get something to eat, you wanna come?" Jack asked as he walked to get his jacket and began digging for money.

"Yeah…what's that?" Daniel questioned as something fell out of Jacks pocket. Before he could answer Daniel was holding a small box in his hand, his eyes wide. "Jack…care to explain?" "I…ah…well you see…Sam…"

"UNSCHEDULED OFF WORLD ACTIVATION!" A blaring voice was heard over the intercom before Jack could answer. "We'll finish later." Called Daniel as he and Jack headed to the control room.

"Walter what've you got?" Jack demanded. "It's SG-3, their not due for another four hours sir."

"Isn't Sam with them?" Daniel asked worried.

"Open the Iris!" Jack ordered as he headed to the gate room. All of a sudden, SG-3 came running through the wormhole carrying a homemade stretcher. "Sam..." Jack whispered as he looked at her lifeless body. "What the hell happened here?" He yelled as he bent down to hold Sam's hand.

"Sir with all due respect she's needs to get to the infirmary." Major Thomas interrupted. Jack nodded his head abruptly. "Take her to the infirmary and we'll debrief in one hour. Jack waited for a moment as he watched Sam being wheeled on a gurney to the infirmary, than decided to follow. "Sir, you have to wait outside, I'll let you know as soon as I know something. The doctor called as she closed the doors in front of Jack.

"O'Neill, is Colonel Carter going to be all right?" Teal'c queried seeing Jack sitting on the floor with his knees pulled into his chest. "I don't know they won't let me see her." He whispered.

"Jack there you are, I've been looking all over for you, but I should've known you'd be waiting here." Daniel panted as he ran towards Jack and Teal'c.

"What do you want Daniel?" Jack asked, annoyance in his voice. "SG-3 is waiting for you." Jack looked up at the two men confused. "I told them in one hour."

"Jack it's been almost two hours since they came through the gate."

"Two hours! Why won't they let me see her!" Yelled Jack.

"Jack, Teal'c and I will wait here, go to the debriefing. We'll let you know if there's any word." Daniel promised as he took a seat on the floor where Jack had been sitting.

"Okay so tell me what happened?" Jack ordered as he took his seat.

"Everything was going fine, when all of a sudden Goa'uld came out from nowhere. Colonel Carter ordered us to dial the gate and wait for her and Major Thomas to return..." Answered Major Scott.

"What went wrong Major Thomas?" Jack asked, as he continued to stare at the phone. "Gliders came out of nowhere and started blowing things up, the Colonel and I were trapped, from the gate, behind a ridge. We attempted to climb it and almost succeeded until the gliders came back. They were shooting near us and Colonel Carter fell onto a smaller ridge, she was knocked unconscious. With luck I was able to reach her and tie rope around her and when I made it to the top I pulled her up, that's when we came through the gate." Just than the phone rang, he grabbed it swiftly. "O'Neill."

"Jack, its Daniel you better get down here, it's not good." With hearing that, Jack hung up the phone. "Dismissed." He snapped hurriedly and ran down the stairs to the infirmary. Once arriving at the doors the doctor was stand there. "I need to see her, let me in!" He demanded . Both Teal'c and Daniel had to hold him back. "It's not a good idea. Sir…I'm sorry…"
