When Rebecca woke up she found left arm in a sling, Jake sitting next to her dad on a bed to her left. "Dad?"
"Im here kiddo." Jack said jumping off the bed and standing over Rebecca.
"How do you feel?" Jake asked walking to the other side of the bed.
"Like crap." Rebecca said, "Jake can I talk to my dad for a second."
"Yeah, I'll go see what my dad is doing." Jake said and as soon as he left the room and Jack was sure he was gone, Jack asked, "What's did you want to tell me that Jake couldn't here?"
"You love me right?" Rebecca asked with tears in her eyes and it was then that Jack realized what ever Fifth did to Rebecca to make her set the trap for Sam was haunting her. Well that was one thing Jack could fix and he spoke as he pulled a stool up to his daughter's bed.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I love you and Ryan and Sara."
"I 'm sorry about mom. This is all my fault." Rebecca said as tears rolled down her face. She tried to stop them but no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn't stop. Jack took his daughter's hand and stroked it gently as he asked, "Becca your not making any sence. How is this your fault?"
"I caved and let that Fifth guy get mom. I could have prevented that. I could have..."
"Don't finish that sentece!" Jack said stricktly but lovingly, "None of this is your fault. I don't care what Fifth told you, there is no way in hell this is your fault. There was no way to stop Fifth from doing what he did. Even if you hadn't helped him, he would have killed you and then come after your mother. I would have taken longer but eventually we would be in the same situation we are now. You got it?"
"Yeah, I got it."
"Bec, what did Fifth tell you to get you to cave?" Jack asked out of curiosity. He figured it was something from her past, before he met her but he wanted to know for sure.
"He just used my worst fears against me." Rebecca said not being specific. It wasn't that she didn't trust Jack it was just that she didn't want to talk about it, at least not now.
"You wanna elaborate?" Jack asked. Rebecca had a habit of his, suppressing emotion and that was habit he wanted her to break and what better way than to talk about her worst fears.Rebecca took a deep breath as she spoke.
"Sara and Ry would have to go from home to home and be alone all the time if you and mom died and the government said I wasn't old enough to care for them. The he used my worst days against me. Stuff that my old folks did to me.
"Listen, becca. I will never let anything happen to you, Sara or Ryan. If anything ever happens to me or your mother, you three would move in with Daniel and Janet. I know the stuff your old folks did to you and I won't let anyone do anything like that to you ever again."
"Promise?"
"Yeah, I promise."
Fifth pulled his hand out of Sam's head and she fell to the floor crying and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Why shouldn't I?" Fifth asked in a cold harsh voice.
"I didn't want to leave you!"
"But you did." Fifth said evenly making Sam wish he was yelling at her cause some how it was better that way.
"Damn it Fifth! I was following orders!"
"You could have come back."
"No I couldn't! There was no time!" Sam said now looking Fifth in his cold black eyes wanting to know what he was going to do next. Fifth walked around her as he said, "Time is such funny concept, Major. Well, I have had plenty of time to conider my existence, to realize my full potential, if you will. You know the others are never going to feel hate, anger, rage, revenge or betrayal. Not like us, Samantha." Fifth slowly knelt next to Sam, moved his hand towards her head and continued her punishment.
A/N: Again the scene with Samand Fifth is from the episode and not entierly of my own mind. I did change a few of the words but not much. Everything esle is mine. Please tell me what you think. The part with Rebecca and Jack is my favorite scene between the two of them. ANyway, please review.
