SIXTY DAYS

"General Hammond to the control room. In coming worm hole."
Jacob, Hammond, Teal'c And Daniel showed up.

"What's going on?" Daniel asked.
Then the whoosh as the gate was activated.

"Closing the iris," the Sergeant said that then all went quiet.

"There is a IDC signal, it is the Tok'ra. There is a message coming though for General Carter sir," the Sergeant said.
Then after few minutes the gate closed down.

"Good news guys, one of our operatives who is on the Apophis ship has been to the Endora Planet. He said that both Jack & Sam are alive." Jacob said.

Every one went yahoo? Paper went every wear. It was the first time in weeks that every one was happy. Then Hammond flicked couple of switches and grabbed the microphone

"Can I have every one's attention please, the is General Hammond. I have just received word that Col O'Neill & Major Carter are alive. That is all."

After he flicked the switches and turned back to Jacob, he saw he was sad, With tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong Jacob, I thought you would be happy with the news," Hammond said.
Jacob looked up from the computer at Hammond Teal'c & Daniel

"What's wrong Jacob?" Daniel asked.

"Can we talk in the briefing room?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah sure." Hammond said.

The four of them went in to the room and sat down. Jacob looked at them, and then he bows his head. When he raised it again, his eyes glowed. They all knew that Selmac would be talking.

"I am sorry that Jacob is not handing the message well."

"What is wrong Selmac?" Hammond asked

"Col O'Neill is fine, but Major Carter isn't fine, I'm sorry. From the message we just received, Major Carter suffered serous injuries. She has suffered two broken legs, broken arm, internal bleeding, punctured lung and a head wound. She was in a coma for thirteen days. The Tok'ra that saw her, he had to use the hand device to heal her but the damage is serious. There is a doctor on the plant; she took care of her the best she could. Apparently Sam is having problems walking; she is still in a lot of pain. She told the Tok'ra this but apparently O'Neill doesn't know that she is in a lot of pain. She is worried about him." Then he bent his head down then up again.

"Sorry about that guys, I just couldn't handle it. One thing though, Jack went a bit crazy when a young guy from the village handed him Sam's radio. He told Jack where he found it and he went running to where the stargate was, crying and yelling Sam's name. When he found out that she was alive, but weak, he stayed with her the whole time; he didn't leave her side. Apparently he blames him self for what has happened to her. They are both living in one of the homes there that wasn't destroyed."

"Thanks for letting us know Jacob, We all know how tough Sam can be. After all she is a fighter, she gets it from you." Hammond said with a smile.

On Endora the crops had been planted and now it was time to party. Jack went home to see Sam, to see how she was. He had been worried about her, knowing that there was some thing wrong.

When he arrived back at their home, he looked into the bedroom and there she was a sleep on the bed.

'She looks so beautiful when she sleeps, God I love her so much.'
He thought to him self.

He went over to, brushing back her hair away from her face, and bent to kiss her on the lips. Then he stood up and noticed her stir in her sleep.

So he quietly left the room with clean clothes. Going to have a shower that he made up for them getting dressed, and some thing to eat and drink. There was a knock at the door. It was one of the guys there to ask Jack if he was going to the party tonight.

"No, I am staying in tonight. Sam isn't feeling well and I don't want to leave her alone while she is ill." Jack said to the man, who gave a nod and said good night to Jack then left, closing the door.

He went back to sit down again at the table, grabbing the cup and took taking a sip of the drink, then put it back down again. His mind started to wander, thinking about Sam.

'The first time we meet, the arm wrestling challenge, the first time pushing her though the gate. All the times she saved my ass as well as Daniel and Teal'c. When I wake up in the infirmary, she is the first one I see when I open my eyes, seeing her blue eyes, seeing how red and puffy they are from crying, with one of her smiles on her face when she looks at me. Those eyes of hers, I could see a sparkle in them, I could almost read her mind and what she is thinking before she says it. Her blabbering, she does try to explain things to me so I can under stand, at least she has patience there. Her giggling, gee whiz I don't know how many times I have told her to stop giggling. I think she does it on purpose just to bug me. She some how manage to bring me out of my shell and make me alive again. She laughs at my silly jokes.' He thought to him self.

There was a knock at the door, which brought him, back to reality, and he got up to answer it, It was Laira.

"Hi." Jack said

"Fair day Jack"

"Ah, what do you want Laira?" he asked with a sharp tone in his voice.

"I heard that you weren't going to the celebrations tonight, I decided to come over here to keep you company," she said with a smile on her face.
He just looks at her for a minute.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes you can ask me any thing you want Jack." with a big grin on her face.

"Why didn't you help the other ladies when it was your turn to look after Sam, The doctor told me what happened." He said to her.
He saw her face change when he said Sam's name.

"I wanted to be with you Jack. I wanted to look after you."

"No damn it." He interrupted her, pausing for a moment.

"Look. Laira, I am fine, there is nothing wrong with me. Sam is the one who needs help not me. I do not love you Laira. I love Sam. There is no way you can keep us apart. Now if you will excuse me, I better go and check on Sam. Good night" He said with an angry voice.

Then he closed the door and walked in to the bedroom to see Sam was awake looking at him. He went over to her and sat on the bed where she was still lying down.

"Hey! Sorry if I woke with my yelling out there like that." He said looking into her eyes.

"It's ok Jack, I was awake when I heard the knock at the door. What are you angry with Laira for?"

She asked with a strange look on her face. Jack looked at her, and told her what had happened when she was in a coma and he was out in the field, when it came to Laira looking after her. Sam was shocked

"God Jack I don't know, you should have told me this before," she said.
They both just looked at one another for a moment then Sam said.

"Ah Jack, I need to go to the bathroom." she was blushing.

"Ok I'll help you get up and take you where ever you want to go."

He said with a smile on his face. She smiled back. He helped her up and slowly took her to the bathroom. A few minutes later she came out and he helped her to the chair where she sat it.

Then he went to the big pot that was in the stove got a bowl and put some stew in it for her. One of the women made it up for them for their dinner. He went over and gave it to her.

Knowing she must be hungry. After she finished the stew and had a drink. . He went and sat next to her in the chair. Putting his arm around her and she rested her head in his shoulder. They both looked in to the fire for a while.

"Sam, I would like to know what happened to you. Why didn't you go though the stargate?" He asked

She sat up and looked at him with tears rolling down her checks. She knew that he would eventually ask her what had happened that day she almost died. She told him what had happened, and what she could remember.

He stares at her with his brown eyes, mouth opening and then closing again, not knowing what to say after that. Slowly twisting his body, he cupped her face with his hands, using his fingers to wipe away the tears, and leaned forward to kiss her.

Then he broke off the kiss and he looked at her and she put her arms around his neck to pull him closer to her lips. They kiss again gently at first, and then it became passionate. After a few minutes they both came up for air.

"God I love you Sam, I love you so much." he said, kissing her again.

"I love you too Jack" She responded.

He got up, bent down and picking her up gently and taking her to their bedroom, placing her on the bed. That night they made passionate love for the first time, he was gentle with her.

In the morning they were both were a sleep when the doctor walked in to see how she was. When she walked into the bedroom, she paused, to look at them.

A big smile on her face as she watched them snuggling together with their clothes on the floor. So she quietly left the room with out disturbing them. When she was out side there was a board next to the door.

She used what looked like white chalk to scrawl on it "NOT TO BE DISURBED" then she hung it on a nail next to the door before she left, with a smile on her face.
