"That's amazing; this morning she had tubes, needles and all sorts of things sticking out of her and now, she is walking around like nothing had happened to her." Harm said

"Yep, thanks to Dad and Selmac here. So how do you think the case will go?"

"After the jury saw the video, it looks like he is going to be put away for a long time"

"Good, so have you had lunch yet?"

"No, we thought we would give Sam an update on the case."

"Ok, thanks, I'll let you two go and grab a bite to eat."

"Ok, thanks, bye" they left Jack and Jacob alone.

"Well I'll go and get some thing to eat myself and talk to you later Jack"

"Ok"

Jacob left the room and a few seconds later Sam returned.

"Where's dad?"

"He went to get something to eat. How are you feeling?"

"Ok, I guess."

"Sam, we need to talk"

Sam got back into bed and rolled on to her side so she could look at Jack

"Ok, what is it that you want to talk about?"

"Facing the past."

"What do you mean?"

"Sam, for you to move forward, you will have to face the past, you will have to face him"

"No"

"Sam, you have to so then you can move on. You can do it; I know you can face him."

"Jack, you don't know what I've been through; what he did to me." Tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"Sam, I know that you can do it; this time you won't be alone because Dad, Daniel, Teal'c and I know about it. It has taken some of the weight off your shoulder, but you need to confront him head on about it, get it out in the open, as least it will be a start."

"But how can I do it?"

Jack held on to her hands, while looking into her eyes.

"You know how you can face it"

"I do"

Then a nurse and airman showed up with their lunches. The nurse raised the head of both of the beds before leaving them alone.
