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…"

"What the hell do you mean your sorry? Is she…dead?" Jack swallowed hard unable to bear thinking of that. He relaxed enough for both Teal'c and Daniel to let him go. "Sir, when I said I'm sorry I didn't mean for you to think that she was dead…Colonel Carter is resting comfortably…" Answered the doctor.

"Than what the hell is wrong?" Jack demanded irritated.

"Jack...Sam suffered a serious head trauma, and is unconscious." Daniel replied as he placed a hand on Jack's shoulder.

"Can I see her please?" Jack pleaded, but was denied. "Sir she needs her rest, when she wakes up you'll be the first person to know, I promise." Hearing that Jack took off, storming down the halls.

"Should we not follow him Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c questioned calmly as he stared after O'Neill walking away. Daniel sighed. "No Teal'c. Jack needs time to cool off, if anything happens to Sam I don't know what he'll do. And that's what I'm worried about." He muttered to himself.

It was hours before Jack received word from Daniel that Sam had woken up at last. He rushed through the halls and came upon the doctor standing with Tael'c and Daniel outside the room where the blonde woman was in. He skidded to a halt quickly. "Let me in." He demanded only. The three looked at each other. "Sir...before you go in, there's something you should kno–"

Jack glared at them. "Move." He snarled. Without letting them reply, he shoved past, and into the room. There he found his love, sitting up on the pristine white sheets of the medic room. "Sam..." he breathed.

She heard him, and looked over, staring at him for a long silent second, before her face marred into a frown, and the three words that cut through him, leaving him numb, and in shock.

"Who are you?"

"Do you think that we should have stopped him first so that he may have known of Colonel Carter's condition Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked with a neutral passiveness that always made the other man wonder how he dealt with the stress of things around this place in private. Shaking his head Daniel sighed. "We could have, but we would have been injured." He gave a wry grimace. "I guess this is the only way he'll find out first hand..."

"I believe that is true. But he will be hurt deeply." The Jaffa countered.

"Maybe, but maybe with this he can also help her..."

Brown eyes stared into blue eyes shocked as the words sunk in, and finally Jack was able to find his voice. "Sam...its me...Jack..."

She looked over him, her frown deepening as a clouded look entered her features. "I'm sorry...I don't know anyone named Jack. Do I know you from some where?"

"Know me?" Jack repeated in disbelief. "Sam we've known each other for eight, almost nine years! How can you say that you don't know me? Is this a joke?"

She scowled. "Why would I joke? I don't know you. Could you please leave?"

"Sam." Jack walked over to her and grabbed her hand. "You know me. Jack O'Neill? Retired General? You're..." Ah, how was he supposed to explain this? "Well...we kinda came to terms awhile ago..."

"Meaning?" She asked slowly.

"We love each other." He replied watching her closely, and asked in a soft pleading tone. "You remember that don't you?"

There was a very long pause, with her still staring at him before she spoke quietly. "I don't know how you are Jack O'Neill, and what your telling me is starting to scare me as well. I want you to leave this room, and don't come near me please. It's too much..."

Slowly, his hand let her's go, and he backed away, his face losing all expression as he slowly turned his back, and walked out. Outside, he passed Daniel and Teal'c, without acknowledging them, or anyone else on his way to his room. Shutting the door, he leaned against it, and let out the emotions choking him, threatening to kill him, as he sunk to the ground, and curled up into a ball, anguished tears falling from his eyes.

"Sam..."

"Oh boy..." Daniel rubbed his temples. "This is a little complicated then I thought..."

"Perhaps we should consider explaining the situation to Colonel Carter." Teal'c suggested. Daniel looked over at him like he was crazy, then considered it. "Well...maybe." He thought over it, turning the idea around in his head. "We'll give it a try..."

Together they left, and walked to the room Sam was in, and knocking politely, stepped in. Pausing inside, they looked to Sam, where she sat, regarding them back. "Um...hi." Daniel started. "You...you may not remember us...but...I'm Daniel Jackson...and this, this is Teal'c."

"It's nice to meet you." She replied, and looked to Teal'c with a curious expression to the insignias on his forehead. "What is that?" She asked.

He looked at Daniel who opened his mouth to speak, then halted. Calmly he looked to the woman. "I am a Jaffa, that now works with the Star-Gate Command. This symbol represents my being a Jaffa of Apophis and it being gold shows that I was first prime of Apophis"

"First Prime?" Sam asked fascinated.

"Kinda like his number one guy sort of say, he does most of the dirty work", Daniel said.

"So you're an alien?" Sam questioned. "Did I know you before?"

"Indeed." The Jaffa answered. Sam looked at him bemused. Daniel shifted. "Uh, that means yes." He muttered.

"So...I knew both of you...and that guy...Jack?" She asked.

"Um, well. Yes." Daniel paused. "You see Sam...this might seem hard to believe, but right now your in a top security base called SGC, or Star-Gate Command..."

I wanna love you
Like I've never loved you tonight
If it's alright
I wanna tell you things I've never said
In my life
I'm gonna hold you when the sun refuses to shine, yeah
I wanna show you that I'll always be by your side, oh

When you call my name
And you need me there
Girl you know
That I will be waiting for you
When you close your eyes
And you see me there
Don't you know
That I will be waiting

I won't let this happen... Jack thought to himself as he listened to the explanation that Daniel and Teal'c were giving to Sam. Too much has happened...I'll fix this...somehow...

Quickly, he walked off to his quarters once more, to think, plan, and do something that will bring back the memories of his love.

"All right, so your free to go now Sam." The doctor finished examining her and stepped back looking serious. "Just take it easy for a few days, and if you get any serious headaches, let me know."

"I will...thank you." Sam smiled faintly. As the doctor left, she lost her smile, and looked out at nothing, before she stood, and walked around her room, she had been emitted out of the medic's hospital a day ago, and had been approached by Jack again.

I wanna kiss you like
I'll never kiss you again
If it's okay
I can't imagine loving any other this way, whoa

When you call my name
And you need me there
Girl you know That I will be waiting for you
When you close your eyes
And you see me there
Don't you know
That I will be waiting

Flashback

"Sam!"

She turned startled, to the half familiar voice, and saw the tall male striding to her. "Ah...what do you want?" She asked warily.

He paused and faltered. "I...ah, heard you spoke with Daniel and Teal'c." He muttered. Then added. "Glad to see your okay..." A pained expression flashed over his face. She regarded him warily. "Yeah..." she answered. "Listen...about what you said...Daniel explained that to me a little more..."

"Oh yeah." He waited, bouncing on the balls of his feet. "And?"

Sam took a breath. "I'd like you...sir, to stay away from me, for a while anyway's..." she added hastily, seeing the shocked look that entered his eyes. "I need...time. And space. To regain my memories...and get a little more familiar..."

"Right. Sure." He fell back nodded, refusing to look at her. "If, if you need anything Carter..." he gave a tight small smile. "Call me okay?"

End of Flashback

Why was she feeling these strange emotions now? It wasn't like she actually knew him did she? He and the others, Daniel and Teal'c claimed she did, even went so far to say that she loved him...but how could they prove that? She had no idea of it, she had no memory of it! Yet she was assulted by these aches in her chest, and the odd sensation of wanting to be nearer to him...to Jack...

But why?

When you call my name
And you need me there
Girl you know
That I will be waiting for you
When you close your eyes
And you see me there
Don't you know
That I will be waiting

"Something, something, something, sommmeethinng..." Jack muttered to himself walking around and around his rooms frowning as he tapped a pen against his head turning sharply. "Tape recorder? Nah...static...flowers and a poem?" He snorted. "Romantic flare? Yeah sure, why don't we scare her some more? Something simple...simple..." He stopped and stared at his pen for a long moment. "Simple..." he said slowly. "Jack you're an idiot!" He strode to his desk and plunked down quickly, throwing papers off and pulling a blank piece to him. Staring at it for a moment, he put the pen tip down, and began to write, muttering under his breath, occasionally swearing to himself, crumpling paper, blotting ink, and nearly breaking the pen.

It took him hours to finally come up with the final piece, of which he was very proud of, sporting a flustered, and irritated expression, while wearing blue streaks on his cheeks and forehead, caused to an exploding pen due to the harassment he endured.

So what'cha wanna do?
I wanna be with you
I know you like my style
So why don't you stay a while
And when you want me to
I'll wait for you

"Now how to get it to her...?" He mumbled.

Dressed in complete black, and wearing a mask over his face, he slipped through the halls quietly to his destination, gripping a small envelope in his gloved hand, stealthily creeping inch by inch.

"Uh...what are you doing?"

Startled, he twisted sharply, to find Daniel and Teal'c standing behind him, looking on with differing gazes. "Dammit Daniel!" Jack tore off the mask and glared. "Did you really have to do that?"

"Well...yes." The other man admitted. "Jack...why are you dressed up in all black?" He peered at his friend. "And is that paint on your face?"

Jack wiped his face. "It's ink." He muttered.

"Oh..." Daniel didn't press. "So...what are you doing?"

"Just...taking a little trip..." Jack said evasively.

"Uh huh. Going to Sam's room?" Daniel interpreted.

"...Yeah."

"Well...good luck." The two walked off silently, leaving him alone again. Snorting lightly he resumed his course, this time normally, the sneaking had lost its desired affect.

When you call my name
And you need me there
Girl you know
That I will be waiting for you
When you close your eyes
And you see me there
Don't you know
That I will be waiting

She was sleeping lightly in her bed, when she heard the door open...or was it close softly. Jerking, Sam lifted her head, and looked around the room sharply, her gaze going over every little corner. When she saw nothing, she sighed to herself, and prepared to go back to sleep, when she spied something small, and white, and unfamiliar sitting on her night table.

Sitting up she reached over, and turned on the light, before bringing and an envelope to her, gently she ripped it open, and took out the content paper, smoothing it on her lap, before reading over the bold, and slightly messy script.

Samantha,

You may not remember me, or anything, but this sort of thing, I'm not really good at, but, I'll give it a shot. And I think I'd prefer to do this, then face to face...even if you'd let me. I'm doing as you wanted, staying away, but I want you to know...that I'm here, and will be waiting, for however long it takes, before you regain your memories, of me, of us, of everything. We've known each other a long time, and well, in this profession, feelings, aren't a good thing...especially to your team...but, what can I say, I love you, I think I always have, in my own special way, and I want you to know, I'm here for you. No matter what. You scream my name, I'll be there in an instant, even if I have to blow up some walls...or something. I told you a long time ago, I'm not going anywhere's, and I'll stick to that forever, I won't leave, not without you, even if I have to kidnap you, because I love you that much. I'll wait for you Sam, forever.

Jack.

When you call my name
And you need me there
Girl you know
That I will be waiting for you
When you close your eyes
And you see me thereDon't you know
That I will be waiting

He'll do all that...wait for me...just because...he loves me...that much? Sam stared at the paper in disbelief. What can I do...say to this? Tears poured down her face, seeping from her eyes quickly, leaving her no time to prepare for them, or wipe them away as they spilt down her cheek. He loves me so much...and what can I offer in return?

Weeping softly, she laid back down pressing her face into her pillow, and holding the letter in her hand, she cried herself to sleep, not bothering to remember the light, just sank into herself, filled with pain, and sadness, and holding the forever promise of a strangers love.

You'll call my name and I'll be there
You'll call my name babe
Oh ooh oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Call my name yeah
