Chapter 7

Teal'c held Daniel down as his body went into its first seizure, Jack had already run into the tent having heard the commotion and was holding Daniel down at the other side of the bed as Janet tried to inject Daniel with the sedative. This whole scene was very familiar to one that had had occurred in Sams tent only an hour and a half ago, except this time it was proving more difficult as Daniel was a little stronger than Sam and so his body was fighting harder against them. They finally managed to inject him and his body stopped seizing, after making him more comfortable Jack went back to Sam and Janet reluctantly went back to work, Teal'c once again took his seat at Daniels side.

Janet sat down at her station once again they had started making some progress in the last few hours, the information Tempson had provided had helped them a lot. He clearly had been studying this virus for weeks as a result they now had week's worth of information to work with as appose to hours. Janet still wasn't too optimistic, Sam and Daniel both only have less than 12 hours left and they were looking at what could possibly be days of research before they found anything useful, short of a miracle they weren't going to make it. Janet continued to read through the notes when something caught her attention, data gathered on a number of experiments; he had been working on a cure, why hadn't he told them that. She continued to look through the data but found he had stopped working on it over a week ago. Janet got up and headed over to the decontamination tent where Tempson was being held since he had refused to help them.

"You were working on a cure"

"Yes I was"

"Why did you stop?"

"It was no longer in the best interests of my research to continue searching for a cure"

"No longer in your best interests, what the hell does that mean"

"I was presented with an opportunity to study my vaccine, find out where I went wrong and fix it, but I realised that instead of doing that I was spending my time and resources on destroying that opportunity. I am trying to save an entire civilisation here doctor"

"By wiping out another one, how can you justify killing millions of people"

"These people are primitive, unimportant; if they disappeared the universe would not suffer"

Janet stormed out of the tent before she did something she would regret later, she couldn't understand how someone could be so unfeeling about killing the entire population of a planet. She went back to the research tent and had some of the researchers go through the notes with her, at least now they had a shot at curing this thing, she just hoped they could do it in time.

Jack watched as Sam began to stir, the effects of the sedative Janet had given her wearing off. For the past three hours he and Teal'c and been running between Sams and Daniels tents helping to hold them still when they went into a seizure, thanks to Janet's sedative there hadn't been as many as there could have been and none have been as violent as their first. Now that Sam was awake though that would change, he was about to get up and call for someone to fetch Janet when she opened her eyes.

"Hey, how are feeling?" he asked

"Like I got hit by a goau'ld mother ship" her answer was so quiet he wouldn't have heard it if he wasn't sitting so close to her and he could tell it had taken a lot of pain and effort to get that much sound out.

"I'm gonna go and call for Janet, I'll be right back"

He went to the entrance of the tent and stuck his head out, he asked one of the nurses who was passing by to get Janet and then returned to Sams side. He gently stroked some of her blonde hair out of her face and stared into her blue eyes, eyes that usually held so much life that now only showed pain. Janet walked into the tent and moved to the other side of Sam quickly checking her vitals.

"The sedative I gave you earlier has worn off, now I gave you a really powerful sedative which is why I only gave you enough to last 3 hours any more would have been to dangerous. It would still be dangerous to give you more now but if you want me to I will"

Sam looked as if she was seriously considering her options, Jack had no idea what he would choose, stay awake and go through the worst pain he had ever seen or go to sleep and potentially never wake up, that would be worse he'd rather be awake and know he was alive. Sam had obviously come to the same conclusion,

"No sedative" Her voice was again barely audible but both Jack and Janet were close enough to hear it. Janet nodded her head

"We've made some serious progress with finding a cure; Tempsons notes have really given us a head start"

"That's great"

"Yeah it is" Janet smiled and then left the tent.

Jack heard the commotion coming from Daniels room again and knew he gone into another seizure. He turned to look at Sam

"I'll be right back" he turned and headed toward Daniels tent, entering he saw Teal'c once again trying t hold Daniel down with Janet at his side. He ran to the other side of him and helped Teal'c hold him down. As with the dozens of time they had had to do this so far, they just held him as still as they could until the seizure stopped and then moved him back into a comfortable position.

"I have to find that cure" Janet turned and practically sprinted out of the tent and Jack returned to Sam who looked worried.

"Daniels okay"

She nodded her head and Jack returned to her side, she only had about 9 hours left now and as much as progress as Janet had made he wasn't sure there was enough time left for her to be able to help Sam or Daniel. Sam had apparently developed the ability to read his mind, at that moment she took hold of his hand

"It'll be okay" her voice still only a quiet whisper

"I can't lose you" he was surprised the words that had come out of his mouth, they had just kind of slipped out, but he relaxed when Sam smiled at him.

"You won't, Janet will do it"

Jack smiled and leaned down to her kissing her lips gently before sitting in his seat next to her bed, never letting go of her hand.

It was 2 hours later when Jack noticed she was struggling to breath "Sam?" Why had he used her first name? It had just slipped out, a lot of stuff seemed to be just slipping out at the moment.

"Can't breath" her voice which was already barely a whisper sounded even more hushed as she gasped for breath. He let go of her hand and once again called for one of the nurses to get Janet who entered the tent only moments after. She switched the IV and then turned around to face Sam.

"This should make your breathing a little easier, I can't stay I have to get back to work" Janet smiled and left, Jack took her hand once more and sat next to her. The last few hours had been hell; since she had woken up she had had 6 seizures all almost as bad as the first. He was surprised that it hadn't been worse but he figured her body was too tired, which may explain why she hadn't had a seizure in the last half an hour. He and Teal'c had still been running from one tent to the other to help when Sam or Daniel had seizures, Daniel had also decided to stay awake for the last few hours rather than be sedated again.

The next 9 hours were going to be rough on all of them and if Janet didn't have the cure by then, they were going to lose them both.
