Chapter 10: More Than We Expected

Summary: She feels helpless. She thinks she could have done something. And now she's going to lose what she's already worked so hard to get in the first place.

Sam woke up and immediately knew that she was definitely not in Kansas anymore. The one thing that was immediately obvious was that this was some sort of Goa'uld ship. 'How could this have happened?' She thought.

She got up and looked out the window. The ship was in hyperdrive by the looks of it, which only meant that wherever she was going would probably lead to her death.

Which only made her feel worse.

If she wasn't pregnant right now she wouldn't be quite as worried, but she was, and now it threatened her daughters too.

Leigh could feel her worry, even from here she knew that Sam was afraid. Which meant that Sam was awake, and obviously pondering her situation.

Jon looked at her suspiciously. "Leigh?"

"Sam's awake. And really, really nervous." She replied.

"You can read her thoughts?" Jack asked.

"No. I can only read emotions, and from a pretty far distance too."

"Apparently." Jacob said.

"Why are we just sitting around like bumps on a log?"

"Because we can't go killing Goa'ulds off with empty bellies. Some of us aren't military trained to handle that kind of stuff, ya know. Besides, my powers work better if I have a meal, and we need all the power we can get."

"What exactly are the limits of your powers?"

"I can't heal sicknesses or ailments people were born with... But if you lost a finger in a war or something I could get it back for you."

"What about yourself?"

"The point my powers make is to not be selfish and never take them for granted. So, no, I can't heal myself." Leigh suddenly felt sick, and received another flash from Sam.

'Where is it?'

Sam looked up. 'It?'

'The code device! Where is it!'

'I have no idea what you're talking about.'

'Yes you do. And I will not hesitate to destroy your whole planet to find it.' He said menacingly.

Leigh got up, in a daze, and walked out of the room. She didn't even realize that John had been calling her name.

John got up and followed her, the whole room was now silent. He caught her in the hallway, looking out the window next to the door, looking out at the already wet, rainy day.

He noticed almost immediately that she was crying. Which was off, especially for her.

"You okay?"

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"She's in trouble. They all are."

"Why?"

"He wants some code device, and he's threatening to destroy Earth to find it."

"And she doesn't know what it is?"

"No."

"And I take it you don't either?"

"No. If I had I would have told her a long time ago."

"She feels helpless. She thinks she could have done something. And now she's going to lose what she's already worked so hard to get in the first place."

"Her family."

"Exactly. And now I feel the same way..." She was losing control now, her lower lip was trembling. "I'm scared, John. I really am. I don't want her to lose Jack or the girls. I don't... I don't want to lose you."

John pulled her into a hug. "Neither of you will lose anyone. I promise."

She pulled back a bit, so she could look him in the eye.

"John..."

"You can do this."

"Thanks for the pep talk."

"Anytime."
