Sam and Fraiser looked up at Daniel.

"What is it?" Fraiser said. Then she saw Simmons. "What the hell is he doing in my infirmary?"

"SG-3 escort Colonel Simmons and his men to confined quarters." Hammond ordered. SG-3 did as they were told and escorted Simmons and his men to confined quarters..

"What's the antidote?" Sam asked eagerly.

"Your blood." Daniel said. Sam looked puzzled. "The antidote is the blood of a former host."

"It must have something to do with the protein marker." Fraiser said.

"It's upto you Sam." Jacob said.

"I'll do it." Sam said without hesitation.

"I'll need to do a quick test to see if your blood is compatible with his." Fraiser said.

"Do it." Sam said. Fraiser took a sample of Sam's blood and analysed it. This took about half an hour.

"It's done and it's a match." Fraiser said.

"Do what needs to be done." Sam said.

"I'll need to remove some of his blood and replace it with yours, that way his blood can use your as a template and replicate itself." Fraiser said. She looked at Sam, Sam nodded. "I'm warning you, Sam, I'm going to have to take quite a bit."

"Do it." Sam said. Sam lay down on a bed next to Jack. Fraiser cleaned up the area on Jack from where she was going to take the blood. Then she took about a pint of metallic coloured blood with a red tinge. She then put Sam to sleep.

4 hours later, Sam regained consciousness. She felt light-headed.
"Janet?" Sam said weakly. Fraiser came to her.

"Hey Sam, how do you feel?" Fraiser asked.

"Light-headed, tired." Sam said weakly.

"Well. You should feel good, you did a noble thing." Fraiser said.

"Jack! How is he?" Sam asked.

"He's going to be fine. The transfusion worked, his blood is returning to normal on it's own. I'm going to have to keep him here for a few days, just to keep an eye on his progress, but he's doing well. He owes you his life." Fraiser said.

"What about Simmons?" Sam said.

"Well, General Hammond got on the phone to the President and explained the situation. He had no idea so he apologised to General Hammond and pardoned everyone. Simmons got fired." Fraiser said. Sam smiled weakly.

"Good. I'd like to sleep now." Sam said.

"You do that." Fraiser said.

24 hours later, Sam was back on her feet and Jack began to stir. Hammond was watching over him.

"Welcome back, Colonel. How do you feel?" Hammond asked.

"Lousy, with a pounding headache. But none of the blinding pain. What happened?" Jack asked weakly.

"You can thank Major Carter." Hammond said.

"Where is she?" Jack asked. Then Sam walked in.

"Here she is." Hammond said. Then he turned to Sam.

"How is he?" Sam asked.

"He just woke up." Hammond said. Then he left as Sam went Jack's side.

"Hey, how do you feel?" Sam asked, concerned.

"Better, what did you do?" Jack asked.

"My blood was the antidote. Dr Fraiser did a blood transfusion using my blood." Sam said.

"Thank you. You saved my life." Jack said.

"You'd have done the same for me. It was a change though, normally it's you that saves me." Sam said. Then, her mind flashed back to the conversation they had before he went into a coma. "Sir, about what you said before you went into a coma, did you really mean it?" Jack just looked at her.

"What? Of course I did. That was the one clear thing in my mind." Jack said.

"Good, because I want you, and I don't care about the regulations." Sam said.

"What about our date?" Jack said.

"Janet wants you to stay in here for a few days to recover." Sam said.

"What about when I get out?" Jack asked.

"Clearly, I'm not going to win this, am I?" Sam said.

"Not in a million years." Jack said smirking.

"When you get out." Sam said, smiling.

"It's good to see you smile." Jack said.

"It's been a while since there's been anything to smile about." Sam said.
