Chapter 2: Jacob's arrival

Jacob POV

As I step through the Stargate, I see George, Martouf and Daniel at the foot of the ramp. I race down the ramp to them.

'Jacob, The High Councilor.' Selmak reminds me.

'I really don't care about manners at the moment.' I snap back.

"George." I shake my old friend's hand. "Where is she?"

"Security Quarters 2" he tells me. I nod my head in thanks and walk out of the gate room ignoring everyone else. I faintly hear George welcome the others to Earth, but I really don't care. I race off to see my daughter.

I walk in the room to see Doctor Frasier about to sedate Sam and my heart nearly breaks. She doesn't deserve this.

'No one does do Jacob.' Selmak tells me. I continue to ignore her.

"Sammy?" I call. She looks up, pain and complete defeat shining in her eyes. My heart breaks again. What father's wouldn't when they see that look in their daughter's eyes, in anyone's eyes?

"Dad?"

"Hey." I look at the Frasier, silently asking her to give us a few minutes. She and the nurse quietly step out of the room.

"How you doing, kiddo?" I ask.

She opens her mouth and I can tell she's going to lie to me. She shakes her head and lies back on the bed. "Not too good. I am about to be sedated for God knows how long."

I take her hand and gently stroke her hand, not knowing what to say. "Dad. They have to do this. I'm too big a risk if they don't." I'm not sure if she's trying to convince me or herself. Probably both.

"I know kiddo." I sigh. "God, how do you get yourself into these situations?" I ask jokingly.

A smile tugs on the corner of her mouth. "I've been thinking the same thing." I smile down at her softly.

The door opens and Doctor Frasier and the nurse come back in. Without saying a word, they get to work. I lean over to Sam and place a kiss on her forehead. She squeezes my hand in return and looks up at the doctor.

"Janet?" she asks sadly, before closing her eyes again. Fraiser looks down at her compassionately. I suddenly realize they must be good friends. I remind myself to thank her. No doubt she's been a great support for my Sammy over the last couple of years.

I stare down sadly as my only daughter starts to go under the sedation.

"Colonel. . . ." she pleads in her delirium. I look at the doctor who looks worriedly down at Sam.

"We may have to increase the dose." She tells the nurse.

"The C-4's gonna blow, you have to get out of here." Oh my god. She's relivinga memory, the memory that put her in this mess in the first place.

Sam's eyes suddenly open. "The machine is wrong!" she yells. Doctor Fraiser looks down at her alarmed. I just sit there hopelessly holding her hand.

"You don't understand." Sam mumbles. "We lied. We didn't even know we were lying. Please." Her pleading tone tears through me and I look at Frasier, silently asking her to stop. She complies.
