A/N- First I'd just like to thank all of you who answered my question about Fire and Water. I've now seen the whole clip and it's very funny, though I don't think I've seen that episode. I hope you all like this, have fun.
Chapter 4 -o- The Rescue
Jack walked down the hall towards Daniels office thinking about every thing that had happened recently. He wondered how this would have gone down if Charlie hadn't been here, and for some reason he was sure it would have been worse without him. He didn't know how he knew it, he just...felt it. He hadn't talked to Daniel since Teal'c had come back from his house after looking for 'clues.' Jack hoped they had found something to give them a lead, because at the moment they had nothing to help them find his wife and daughter.
Jack walked into Daniel's office and was surprised to see him and Teal'c sitting cross legged on the floor. There were candles all over the place and they seemed to be meditating. Daniel must be trying to have a vision. In the last five years since that first vision hit in the gate room Daniel had only ever used the 'gift' a small number of times. It wasn't that he couldn't use them whenever he wanted just that sometimes they left him with mind splitting headaches that could last for days. Janet was unsure of the reason for the headaches and while they didn't seem to leave any lasting damage Daniel only used them when the need was great. Jack was about to turn around and leave when Daniels eyes opened. He looked up and Jack and smiled.
"How's Charlie?" He asked as Teal'c opened his eyes too. Teal'c almost always Kel'no'reemed with Daniel, it seemed to make it easier for Daniel, though they didn't know why. Teal'c always said something about 'leading him' but Jack didn't really understand.
"He's fine" Jack said putting his hands in his pocket. "Janet says it didn't hit anything major. Of course now he's going to have matching scars on his shoulders" Jack said sitting down and looking down at Daniel. "So there was nothing at my house?" He asked knowing that there must not be, otherwise they wouldn't have resorted to Daniel's visions.
"There was nothing" Teal'c said nodding his head. "I am sorry"
"Not your fault" Jack said sighing. "Who ever did this knew what they were doing" Jack shook his head and picked something up off Daniel's desk. And for once Daniel just let him play with the 'rock.'
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"You're so funny Sam" Kiara said smiling at her. "I think you've been spending too much time with dad" She said shaking her head.
"Dad?" She said looking a little confused. "And he would be who?"
"Sam, this isn't funny" Kiara said a little less convinced Sam was playing around. "We need to find a way out of here" She said frowning at the blank stare Sam was giving her.
"And 'here' is where exactly?' She asked looking around the little room she was in. "Are we trapped here?"
"Yes" Kiara said as the worry in her gut grew. "Sam how's your head?"
"Sam" She said thinking the name over. It sounded vaguely familiar but from where? "Why do you keep calling me that?"
"Because that's your name" Kiara said sitting down on the floor in front of Sam and pulling her legs up to her chest. "What's the last thing you remember?" Kiara asked looking up at her.
"Um..." Sam trailed off as she tried to remember. "Waking up here" She said with a tremor in her voice. "Why can't I remember anything?" She asked a little scared.
"I don't know" Kiara said shaking her head. "But whatever it is Dad'll fix it, once he finds us"
"Who's Dad?" She asked looking down at Kiara.
"He's your..." She trailed off and looked down at her legs. Sam really didn't remember anything. Not her or her dad, not Dewey or Cotton not anything. "He's your husband" She said looking up a little.
"My husband" She said thinking about it. There was nothing there, she could walk and she knew the alphabet, but she couldn't for the life of her remember this little girl's name. She had said something about her head, had she done something to it? She tried to think as she reached up and touched it. She winced and pulled her hand away.
"I think I hit my head" She said looking at Kiara. "I think...on a table" She looked confused. "Is that right?"
"I don't know" Kiara said shaking her head. "I was already outside when they took you"
"Could that hit be why I don't remember anything?" She asked looking at Kiara for the answer. This was quite a switch because usually it was Kiara looking to Sam for answers.
"I don't know" Kiara said shaking her head. "The only person I know who had amnesia had it because Oma had to punish him" Kiara said thinking of Daniel. "And I didn't know him then."
"Who's Oma?" She asked closing her eyes trying to will this on coming headache away.
"She's a...um...I don't really know who to explain it" Kiara said shaking her head. "But Daniel came back with no memories, and it came back to him piece by piece, so you'll be fine"
"Right" She said nodding her head. "What's your dad's name?"
"Jack" She said looking up to see if the name stirred any memories.
"Oh" She said nodding her head. She looked at the hopeful face of the little girl and sighed. "Sorry, nothing"
"Its ok, it'll come" Kiara said nodding her head.
"I don't...I can't remember...what's your name?" She asked and felt like crying when the little girls face fell and she looked like she would cry.
"Kiara" She said trying to smile at Sam. "I'm Kiara"
"My...my daughter?" Sam asked remembering that she had called her mom.
"Sort of" Kiara said smiling a little now. "You're not my blood mom" She said turning and resting the back of her head on the edge of Sam's bed. "My first mom died when I was about four, so I came to live with my dad. And then when I was about six you guys got married."
"Oh" Sam said nodding her head. "Did you see your dad much before she died?" Sam asked looking down at the top of her head.
"No, I didn't know him until after she died" Kiara said smiling at the memory. Then she frowned thinking that Sam didn't remember.
"That must have been hard" Sam said sighing. "Did you live far away from him? Is that why you'd never met?"
"Yeah" Kiara said nodding her head. "Very far away" She said wondering what she should tell Sam. She thought she probably shouldn't tell Sam anything about the Stargate for now. Once Jack saved them then she could ask him what it was ok to talk to Sam about.
o-o-o-
"You're sure you left nothing behind?" He asked swiveling in his chair to look at the three men standing in front of him.
"Yes," The leader said nodding his head and smirking. "There is no way they could possibly find us."
"Good" he said nodding his head. "Then the first part of the test is set up and ready to go?"
"It is," said another of the men stepping forward. "They're both locked up tight."
"Tell me, why did you take them both?" He asked sneering a little. "I do believe I told you the girl only."
"We had a chance to take them both, we didn't think there would be a difference" The other one said looking over at one of his men. "It's not a problem is it? We could get rid of the woman"
"No, lucky for you having her will only make the tests work better" He said picking up the phone. "We're through" He said dismissing them. They nodded and walked out the door.
"I told you we only needed the girl" One of them said slapping the other over the head.
"Hey it worked out" He said shaking his head. "You're just mad you didn't think of it" He said smirking. "I thought it would be a lot harder to get to them"
"Yeah, but who the hell was that guy that was there?" The other guys said shaking his head. "You think she was sleeping with him?"
"Maybe" One of them said smirking. "Anyway we should find out about him. Can't have him showing up again"
"Right" The other said nodding his head. "Well if Mr. 'I can't shoot worth shit' had hit the mark we wouldn't have to worry about him"
"Well if you had just let me go back and finish him off" He said sneering at him.
"Shut up both of you" he said shaking his head. "Come on we have more work"
"Right" They both said nodding their heads.
o-o-o-
"So nothing then?" Jack asked about half an hour later.
"I guess not" Daniel said shaking his head. "Sorry" He sighed and turned his computer on. "We will find them"
"Right I know" Jack said nodding his head. "It's just if you
"Wait" Daniel said putting his hand to his head and wincing. "I can...I can see..." Daniel trailed off and lowered his head down on the desk. Both hands came up and covered his head as he murmured to himself.
"Daniel?" Jack said shaking his shoulder a little. Daniel just sat there with his hands covering his head. A vision had only done this to him once before when CC was missing. Last time he had sat like that for almost ten minutes. That had been one of those horrible headache visions. Jack just stood there waiting while Teal'c walked to the phone incase they needed to call for help.
"Jack?" Daniel said sitting up and blinking his eyes a few times. "I know where they are" He closed his eyes for a second then opened them. He had a very big smile on his face. "It was like I was seeing through the eyes of another man. He was the one driving the van that they transported them in. I could hear Kiara in the back screaming at him to let them go"
"Well do you have an add- Jack was cut off when a bright light encircled him and he disappeared.
"Well this is just great" Daniel said rubbing his head. "Come on Teal'c lets get something's together"
"Indeed" Teal'c said nodding his head.
o-o-o-
"-ress" Jack finished looking around him. "Thor?" He asked when he noticed that there was no one waiting for him.
"O'Neill" Thor said coming around the corner.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you, because I am, but what're you doing here?" Jack asked hoping he didn't need their help; they had enough on their plate as it was.
"I received a message from your General Hammond" Thor said looking up at him. "You were not expecting us?"
"Well I wasn't" Jack said shaking his head. "Glad you're here though"
"Can we be of any assistance?" He asked looking up at Jack.
"Oh you have no idea" Jack said sighing with relief. "First I need you to bring Daniel and Teal'c up here" Jack said smiling "And Jonas" He said as an after thought. He still had a hard time thinking of Jonas as a part of SG-1. Not that he didn't like the guy or anything it was just SG-1 was him Sam, Daniel and Teal'c. Jonas was good though and Daniel seemed to get along well with him, he was getting more and more used to the idea.
"Of course" he said nodding his head. He walked over to one of the control panels and moved a few stones around. Daniel and Teal'c beamed up a few seconds later. Daniel was holding a few maps and Teal'c had his staff weapon with him.
"We figured you'd have us beamed up too, and I need to show you where they are" He said in reference to the maps.
"Indeed" Teal'c said nodding his head. Jonas popped in and looked around the room. He looked over at Thor and then at Jack and sighed.
"You think maybe a little warning next time?" He asked looking down at the towel around his waist. "Not that I don't want to help but, come on" he said running his hand through his dripping wet hair.
"Busy Jonas?" Jack asked smirking at him. He turned to Thor and smiled. "You think you could get his clothes?"
"Of course" Thor said nodding his head. A second later Jonas' clothes were sitting in front of him.
"Thanks" He said smiling picking them up and looking at Jack. "We find Sam and Kiara?"
"Yeah Daniel had a vision" Jack said looking over to Daniel. He had the map lying on the floor at Thor's feet. "Go get dressed and get your butt back here"
"Right" Jonas said walking around the corner where Thor told him to go.
"This is where they are" Daniel said pointing at a spot on the map when Jonas came back in. "Can you take us there?" He asked looking up at Thor.
"I can" He said nodding his head.
"So where are they anyway?" Jack asked looking over at Daniel as he rolled up one map then unrolled another closer up map.
"About an hour from the base" Daniel said looking down at the map. "Right here" He said pointing it out.
"We are there" Thor said walking over to the map and looking down at it.
"That was fast" Jack said smiling.
"Are we going to need to go in there and get them or what?' Jonas asked looking over at Jack. Jack shrugged and looked to Thor who smiled (if you can call it that) and walked over to where Daniel had the maps.
"No" Thor said shaking his head.
"Ok" Jonas said nodding his head. "So you beamed me up in the middle of my shower because...?"
"You're part of the team?" Jack said shrugging his shoulder. "I thought you'd want to be here for...team support?" He asked smirking at him. "We really didn't need Teal'c either but, I wanted the whole team here because...well I don't know"
"Right" Jonas said nodding his head his head. "Happy to help..." He smiled at Jack "...hold the floor down"
"You know you weren't really in the middle of a shower" Jack said looking very serious. He was still a little worried something would go wrong and picking on Jonas helped to distract him. "You had a towel"
"Yeah, I guess I should be thankful it didn't happen ten seconds earlier" Jonas said rolling his eyes.
"They're in this building" Daniel said speaking over Jack and Jonas. He pointed it out for Thor ignoring Jack and Jonas. "On one of the lower levels" He said in a more normal voice. Thor nodded again and walked back to the controls. He shifted some stones around and looked up at Jack and pointed.
"Over there" He said pointing to the transport area. A few seconds later after a flash of white light Sam and Kiara appeared. Kiara had her head down on her knees and Sam appeared to be unconscious. Kiara looked up after a few seconds and Jack could see she was crying.
"Oh daddy I knew you'd come" She said jumping up to her feet and running to him. "It's so awful. I don't know how it happened or what to do. She was just talking to me a few minutes ago. Then I looked at her and she was out again. She hit her head and something's wrong. She doesn't remember"
"Shh Kiara its ok" Jack said holding her while Daniel walked over to Sam. He picked her up and walked over and knelt down next to Sam.
"But dad you don't understand" Kiara said whipping at her eyes. "Something's wrong with Sam. She doesn't remember"
"Kiara its ok if she doesn't remember what happened" Jack said smiling at her. "We have you back and you're safe."
"But it's not that she doesn't remember being taken." Kiara said shaking her head. "She doesn't remember anything."
o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Well she seems to be fine" Janet said walking around Sam's bed. "Besides the loss of blood, she has a small head wound. She'll probably have a headache for a day or two" Janet said looking down at the now asleep Kiara. "Kiara said Sam didn't remember anything?"
"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. They had been back for about half an hour. "She said Sam woke up and didn't know who she was or what was going on. I'm a little worried"
"I'm sure she's fine" Janet said worried herself. She looked down at Sam and started arguing with her self. She couldn't decide if she should tell Jack about the baby. If Sam really did have amnesia she would need to be told. So Jack would find out anyway, but if she didn't she'd be taking the chance for Sam to tell him herself.
"Thinking hard?" Jack asked after a few seconds of silence.
"I was just wondering something" Janet said looking from Sam to Jack. "I think there's something I should tell you"
"What?" Jack said looking up at her with worry lining his eyes. "Did you find something wrong with Sam that you're not telling me?"
"No" Janet said shaking her head. "But it is about Sam"
"What?" Jack asked curious now.
"I'm not sure if I should tell you" She said sitting down in a chair by Sam's bed. "As Sam's doctor I should tell you, but as her friend I'm having a hard time"
"Is there something wrong with her? Something that didn't happen today?" Jack asked fearing the worst. What if she had some disease or cancer? "Janet you have to tell me now" Janet smiled a little and nodded her head.
"Yeah I guess I do" She said sighing and looking at Sam. "She's going to be pissed"
"Well?" Jack said looking top Sam and then back to Janet.
"Sam's...well she's pregnant" Janet said watching Jack for a reaction, good or bad she had to know so she could tell Sam.
"She's...she's...pregnant?" He asked looking over to Sam. He looked back to Janet and had a huge smile on his face. "I'm going to be a dad...again?" He asked a little shocked.
"Wow" They heard someone say from behind them. They turned to see Kiara standing there looking shocked. "Mom's having a baby?" She asked with a little smile.
"Yeah" Janet said nodding her head. She looked over at Jack who was watching Sam. "Come on Kiara lets get something to eat."
"Ok, I'm starved" She walked over to Jack and he pulled her into his lap.
"You going to be ok?" Kiara asked smiling at him.
"I'll be fine kiddo" He said sighing. "You go get something to eat, I'll be here"
"Ok" Kiara said jumping down and walking over to Sam. "Where's Charlie?" She asked as they walked towards the doors.
"He's back at my house" She said smiling at her. "Cassie's with him"
"Oh" Jack heard Kiara say. He could tell she was a little disappointed. He turned and looked back down at Sam. He couldn't believe it. A baby. Sam was pregnant, having a baby, his baby. He reached over and took her hand into his.
"I know you can hear me in there" Jack said looking at her. "And if you really don't remember then you'll need lots of help. You can count on me and Kiara for that. I'm sure you'll be fine though. This happened to Daniel, he's the geek you'll meet him later, and it all came back to him after a while. I love you so much Sam. We'll get you through this, all of us. You rest now and when you wake up we'll get you home so you can start remembering." Jack said while rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb. He laid his head down on the side of the bed and was out within minutes.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Oh thank God" Cassie said nodding her head with a new smile on her face. "Yes I'll tell him" She said smiling as she hung up the phone. She turned to see Charlie was still fast asleep on the couch. He had fallen asleep as soon as he got there. He had arrived about two hours ago. They had hardly even said hello before he was on the couch and fast asleep with a hockey game on. The kids were still fast asleep because it was still only about 4:30 am. Danny didn't seem to have any trouble sleeping right through the night, but then nether had CC. She walked over to him and bent over to wake him so she could give him the good news.
"Charlie" She said reaching down and shaking his shoulder a little. "Hey I have news" She said smiling when his eyes fluttered open and he smiled at her.
"Hey gorgeous" He said in a half asleep voice. "How was school?" He asked reaching up and running his hand over her cheek.
"Huh...Charlie?" She said a little surprised. Jack had said that Charlie knew her in his world; he didn't say anything about them dating. But then maybe Charlie hadn't told him.
"Cassie?" Charlie sat up a little as he became more awake. Then as his senses came back he realized what he had said and blushed. "Oh geez" He said shaking his head. He sighed and winced when he tried to sit up.
"Don't move" Cassie said sternly, 'Just like her mother' Charlie thought as she smiled at him. "You'll hurt yourself"
"I think I did that already" He said smiling when she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah" She said nodding her head. "Speaking of that, Janet just called, they found them" She said sitting down on the edge of the couch. She would ask about the slip of tongue after she gave him the news.
"Oh that's great" He said smiling nodding his head with a big smile on his face. "And every ones ok?" he asked. She frowned and shook her head. "What? Is something wrong with Kiara? Is Sam hurt?" He asked scared now that one of them had been hurt. What if something happened to Kiara again?
"No, physically they're both fine" Cassie said evading his look. "But..."
"But...mentally?" He asked watching her. He would say he new Cassie better than most people but this Cassie, there were little differences. When his Cassie didn't want to tell him something she would watch her feet and play with her hair. But this Cassie looked everywhere but at him never stopping on any one thing and she played with the hem of her shirt. It would be interesting to see what else was different.
"They think Sam may have amnesia" She said looking up at him.
"Oh" He said letting this sink in. "They think?" He asked holding her gaze.
"Yeah, Kiara said Sam didn't remember anything but she was out when they found them. She hasn't come to yet" Cassie said breaking eye contact. 'Boy he has beautiful eyes' Cassie thought as she looked up at him through her eyelashes. 'Just like Jack' she thought blushing a little. She had had a crush on Jack when she was younger, she just loved his eyes.
"You ok?" Charlie asked when her cheeks went a little red.
"Yeah" She said nodding her head. "Mom says Sam should be fine. Even if she does have amnesia it'll all come back to her. Daniel lost all his memories too, but he came back and remembered eventually."
"Daniel had amnesia?" Charlie asked looking shocked.
"Yeah, when he came back from being ascended he didn't remember anything" Cassie said nodding her head. "Anyway Sam'll be just fine"
"Yeah" Charlie said nodding his head still a little worried. They both sat there in silence for a few minutes. Both of them were thinking of Sam and hoping she would be ok. Then Cassie thought about Charlie's slip of the tongue.
"Where we...in your world was there something...did we..." She trailed off and he smiled and nodded his head.
"Yeah, me and my Cassie have been together for about two years. Though to hear Janet tell it we've been together since the day we met" Charlie smiled sadly at the thought of his world.
"I know how it feels" Cassie said nodding her head. "To lose your whole world. It must be really hard for you though, to see faces of people you know but don't really know at all"
"Yeah" He said nodding his head and sighing. He really didn't want to think about all of this right now. It was hard enough sitting there talking to her, she was so much his Cassie, but then at the same time not. It was a constant reminder that his world was totally gone. "So how about something to eat?" He said trying to get up again and wincing, again.
"You sit" Cassie said shaking her head and rolling her eyes. He was so like his father it was scary. "What do you want? I'll get it"
"Do you have any fruit?
"Loops?" She said shaking her head with a smile. 'Yep' she thought as she stood 'Just like his father.' "You have got to be kidding me. Of all the cereal in the world" She smiled at him and walked out as he said "Its good" Charlie watched as she walked off and felt a little bang of heart ache. This was going to be really hard. Harder then he had thought before seeing her. He and his Cassie had been weeks away from getting married when the damned Goa'uld had attacked. It was all their fault. He lost everything in one day. And to have to see her every day and not hold her, to know she wasn't his Cassie? That was going to be a very big struggle.
Cassie sighed when she got into the kitchen. 'That poor guy' she though as she got a bowl down from the cupboard. He lost everything, and then got it all back in a sick twisted way. She could see the pain when he talked about his Cassie. Though she could totally see why she had fallen for him, or...well...why the other her had. She wished there was something she could do to make it easier on him. She poured the milk and walked towards the door. She should find out all about his Cassie and then try to be as little like her as possible. He smiled when she gave him the cereal. She was going to sit down when she heard something on the baby monitor.
"Be right back" She said smiling.
"Right" He said around a mouth full of fruit-loops. She smiled and walked up the stairs. She was going to have a hell of a time not fallen for him.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Hello?" Sam said opening her eyes and looking around the room. It was a different room then when she passed out. She wondered if they had been rescued like Kiara said they would be. "Kiara?"
"Sam" She heard someone say to her right. She sat up a little and saw a mans head on the edge of her bed. He lifted his head and smiled at her. "Glad to see you finally decided to join us" He said winking at her. Right this must be Jack. Kiara had told her a little about Jack before she had passed out. She smiled weakly at him at him.
"Jack?" She asked and was rewarded with a smile and a nod.
"How you feelin?" He asked looking at her eyes.
"Ok I guess" She said reaching up to touch her bandaged head. "I think I hit my head. I don't...I can't remember..." She tailed off as his face fell. "I'm sorry" She said looking around the room a little.
"Its ok" He said shaking his head and smiling at her. "It'll all come back." She smiled and nodded her head. Boy they all seemed sure 'it would all come back.' She hoped so; she didn't like this not knowing thing.
"Is...Kiara ok?" She asked sinking back into the bed.
"Yeah she's fine" Jack said nodding his head. He looked down at his watch and winced. "She's probably sleeping by now."
"Like you should be" Janet said coming into the room smiling. "You should sleep too" She said looking at Sam. "But it's good to see you awake and alert."
"Thanks" She said smiling a little. "I know you right?"
"You remember her?" Jack asked excitedly.
"No" Sam aid shaking her head. "She just seems...familiar"
"I'm Janet" She said smiling at her. "Your doctor"
"Oh" Sam said nodding her head. She had felt something more when Janet walked into the room.
"We're also very close friends" She said smiling when Sam smiled.
"Yeah?" She asked smiling. "I though so, I feel...close to you some how." She said thinking about it. She turned to Jack and smiled. "And you" She said. She could tell he was important because it made her very happy to make him smile even though she didn't know why.
"It's a very good sign that you have such strong feeling towards us" She said smiling at Sam. "A very good sign."
That Night
Sam stood in her empty bedroom with a small smile on her face. There was pretty much nothing she recognized, nothing that she felt any kind of conation to but she was still smiling. And the soul reason for that very small smile was sitting on her dresser in the corner of the room. Sam stood there staring at the picture on her dresser. Jack had brought her in here about half an hour ago and told her to have a look around. He didn't tell her anything when she asked, just told her to look around and see if she remembered anything. He had left shortly after that telling her he'd be down stairs if she needed him. She bent over and picked up the picture and smiled at her bright and happy mother. As soon as she saw it she had known it was her mother and not just because she looked so much like her. She had such a strong feeling of love and trust for the women in the picture that she just knew it was her mom. But there was also a great sadness in seeing the picture because Sam also knew that her mother was dead. She didn't know how she had died or when, but she knew she was gone.
It was about 8:00 in the morning now. Cassie was in her room reading though Sam was sure she had fallen asleep again, she was half way there on the way home. It was weird for her. She didn't know this place or the people who lived in it but the second she walked through the door she had known it was home. She set the picture back and walked over to the bed. She sat down on the right side of the bed and picked up the book sitting there. It was a book on stars and black holes. It was doggy eared on chapter 22, The Apple Theory. She opened it to the inside of the cover and smiles.
'Jack this tells all about the black holes. It even has the apple thing. I hope you like it, and I hope it will help so you'll stop asking me. I love you! Sammie' That was what was written on the inside of the cover. Sam sat there for a second and wondered why Jack would want to know about black holes. Jack had told her that she worked for the Air Force but he didn't say what she did. He wanted her to remember on her own. He said Janet said it would help her remember if she did it on her own. She tried to remember why she would give him a book like this but nothing would come. She got up and walked to the other side of the bed. She picked up the book sitting there and read the cover. It was a murder romance novel called 'Naked in Death.' She opened it to the cover page and smiled. There was an inscription in her book too.
'Sammie, I found your little stash of murder romance books. Keeping secrets from you hubby? That's never a good sign. :-) I found this in a book store; the women there told me everyone just loves this series. Hope you like it. I love you!' Sam opened to the first page and began to read. She was only on the second chapter before she fell asleep. The book slid out of her hand as she drifted into a dream filled sleep.
Dream
Sam found herself standing in a very large black void all around her was darkness. From all around her she could hear sounds of something. She had to concentrate really hard on one sound and then after a few seconds she could hear someone saying something. Then she blinked and when she opened her eyes she was standing in front of a large screen. On the screen she could see Jack standing in front of a locker.
"Carter" Jack said in surprise when she slammed his locker door. He pulled his shirt over his head and smiled a little at her. "Uh... sorry, didn't know you were in here." He said seconds before she grabbed his shirt and pulled him to her and kissing him. "Hey!" He said as she pulled his head closer kissing him harder. "What the hell's going on?" He demanded as Sam ran her hand over his head.
"I want you" She said in a low seductive voice kissing him again.
"Why?" Jack asked in surprise. He shook his head "I mean, no!" He said pulling her away from his body. "Carter this is a little out of line don't you think?" He asked as she grabbed him by the shoulders and slammed him to the bench and then swung her leg over him, straddling him and holding him to the bench.
"You want me?" She asks smirking at him and kissing him again.
"No, no" he said shaking his head and pushing at her. "No like this, not likeShe cut him off by kissing him again. He pushed once more shoving her up but not off of him. "Carter! What's gotten into you?" She leaned over to kiss him again and when he shoved her up every thing on the screen started to shift and change. Now she was lying in a huge ice cave next to Jack.
"It's my sidearm, I swear…" He said shifting a little. Sam smiled and then let out a little giggle.
"No giggling, please" He said wincing and closing his and gritting his teeth. Sam nodded her head and sighed.
"If we don't make it I won't have any regrets. You?" She asked lifting her head a little so she could look down at him. He turned his head to the left and sighed in pain.
"I'll regret…dying." He said after a few seconds.
Sam nodded her head and laid it back on his arm. Now as the screen changed a little faster she could see herself standing next to Jack, who had on a very nice tux and was smiling at her. She blinks and Sam can remember that, she could hardly see Jack through the tears.
"I do" She hears him said with a big smile. He winks at her and she giggled.
"I know" She said nodding her head. "No giggling" They both turn to the minister who smiled at them.
"And Samantha Rebecca Carter, do you take this man in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. Through all of life's ups and downs and with patience and love?"
"I do" She said nodding her head with a big smile on her face. He smiled back and squeezed her hand.
"Well then, I now pronounce you husband and wife." He leaned over and smiled at them. "You may now kiss the bride" Jack nodded his head took Sam into his arms dipped her back and kissed her. Every one in the pews cheered and Sam laughed and looked down at the ring on her finger.
This time the screen went from one scene to the other with no time or change. She was now sitting in front of a computer screen. As Sam watched herself she could feel the sadness and frustration. She looked up when Janet walked into the room with a cup of coffee.
"You working through the night again?" She asked handing over the coffee.
"Yeah" Sam said nodding her head and smiling at the coffee. "Lot of work to do, thank you." She said taking a drink of the coffee.
"Look, Sam, there's no doubt you're going to solve this, but you have to accept the fact it's going to take time." Janet said leaning over so she could see the computer.
"Yeah, well if I think that way, it could take months." Sam said looking back at the computer. She didn't even want to think about how long it was going to take.
"Daniel says the Tollan could have a ship in the vicinity of Edora some time right next year." Janet said trying to make Sam feel better.
"He shouldn't have to wait that long." She said shaking her head.
"You miss him." Janet said stating the obvious.
"Yeah" Sam said nodding her head and looking up at Janet.
"Is this a problem?" Janet asked looking into Sam's eyes.
"No" Sam said shaking her head and looking back to the computer. "No of course not"
"Ok" She said nodding her head. Sam looked back to the computer and sighed. She laid her head down on the keys and closed her eyes. 'I will find a way' she could almost hear herself think.
Now on the screen she was sitting by the side of a bed. There was a man laying in it wrapped in white bandages. It was Daniel. Sam wasn't sure how she knew this she just did.
"Just so you know, Jonas had a change of heart." Sam said looking down at her dying friend. She could remember feeling so helpless sitting there watching her friend die. "He stole some Naquadria for us. He took a big risk; he said it was because of what you did. I think it could be important and I wanted you to know that." She whipped at the tears running down her cheeks. "You have an effect on people, Daniel. The way you look at things, it changed me too. I see what really matters." She shook her head as they tears started to fall more freely. "I don't know why we wait to tell people how we really feel. I guess I hoped that you always knew." She said laying her head down on her hands on his bed.
Now she was sitting on a hospital bed with Dr. Rosthin walking towards her. He had a clipboard in one hand and a big smile. He pulled a chair over and sat down next to the bed. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Well?" She asked a little harshly.
"You're pregnant" He said handing her the clipboard so she could see for herself. "As you can see your about four weeks along. The baby should be born sometime around June. We'll have to do further tests to get the precise date." He smiled at her.
"Wow" Sam said shaking her head. "This is..." She trailed off and looked down at the clip board again. "Wow"
"I think what with all your involvement in alien stuff that we should handle this here at the SGC" He said smiling at her. "Just incase" After that memories flashed by on the screen very fast. All she could really see were snippets of her life up till now. She watched trying to catch all that was flashing in front of her. Then all of a sudden the screen stilled and she saw a women standing there smiling.
"Jolinar" Sam said. As she stood there staring at the women she had a feeling like she was being watched. She turned around to come face to face with the women from the screen. Then the screen behind her went blank and the women smiled.
"Hello Sam" She said smiling at her. "It's nice to finally meet you, face to face" She smiled and sat down in a chair that had not been there seconds before. "Have a seat" She said smiling at the look on Sam's face. Sam turned and looked down at the chair, she shrugged and sat down.
"I know you" Sam said trying to piece it all together. Jolinar nodded her head and smiled.
"And I you" She said reaching over and touching Sam's head. "I knew you loved him before you did" She said laughing a little.
"Him...Jack" She said looking at Jolinar.
"Yes" She said nodding her head.
"How is this possible?" Sam asked looking around the now very nice room they were in. "You died...saving me" She said after thinking about it for a second. It all seemed to be coming back in waves. "Thanks for that by the way" Jolinar laughed and Sam looked confused.
"You sound like him" She said as way of explanation. "I'm told I started to sound like Martouf" She sighed.
"Oh" Sam said nodding her head as the memories of Martouf filled her head. "He died too" Sam said shaking her head and looking down at her hands. "By my hands"
"You did what needed to be done, and have helped us all in the process. And now he is here with me, we are together" Jolinar said smiling at her. "But I've gone off topic a little; you and I are here because I did not die, not in the sense that you mean"
"You...ascended?" Sam asked after thinking about it for a second. "Like Daniel?" She asked not really knowing where that information had come from.
"That's right. It's all coming back nicely I'm happy to see" She said smiling at Sam.
"Coming back?" Sam asked "How is it that it all just comes back, just like that?" Sam asked snapping her fingers.
"Well it won't all come back. At lest not right away." She said smiling at Sam. "But it should be much faster now"
"Why?" Sam asked looking at Jolinar with curiosity. "How is it all coming back?"
"Well I'm helping you along, I opened the door" She said standing and walking to Sam. "There are things that you're going to be needed for soon" She said reaching out and putting her hand on Sam's face. "I wanted you to be ready" She reached down and put her hand to Sam's belly.
"Is something going to happen to my baby?" Sam asked worried. Jolinar pulled her hand away and sighed. Sam put her hands on her stomach and looked up at Jolinar.
"No" She said smiling at her a little. "She will be a beautiful little girl"
"A girl?" Sam asked as a little smile graced her face. "What's going to happen?" She asked after a second.
"I can not say" Jolinar said looking down at her hands and smiling. "I'm really not supposed to be doing this much but..." She trailed off and smiled. "Rules were meant to be broken."
"But why?" Sam asked still not understanding why she would do this for her. "I mean you saved my life and now you're helping me get it back again?"
"Because I like you and because you took good care of Martouf for me" She smiling when Sam blushed. Jolinar sat down on the table that had appeared in front of Sam and smiled. She reached out and put her hand on Sam's belly again. "She will remember everything" She said smiling.
"Everything what?" Sam asked not really understanding.
"Me, us, the Tok'ra" Jolinar said smiling. "She will remember me, she will remember everything. You will have to help her through it when the time comes."
"Oh. Of course" Sam said nodding her head. Jolinar removed her hand and looking up at Sam.
"Its time to wake up now" She said smiling sadly at her.
"No, I have more questions" Sam said shaking her head.
"You'll get all the answers someday" Jolinar said smiling. "Wake up Sam, Sam" She said smiling softly "Wake up"
Dream over
"Sam wake up" Jack said shaking her a little. Her eyes fluttered open and she stared at him for a second. Then she sat up and put her hands on her belly. She smiled at him and sighed.
"Hi" She said looking up into the brown eyes of the man she loved. She sighed as memories filled her head. It was like a door had been opened and information was flooding her head. She reached up and put her hand to her head. It was starting to give her a headache, or maybe that was the baseball sized bump on her head.
"How you feelin?" Jack asked sitting back a little. He didn't want to get into her personal space, at lest not till she remembered more about them and stuff.
"I'm good" She said nodding her head. She looked down at her belly and when she looked back up at him she had a very big smile on her face. "We're having a baby" She said taking his hand and laying it on her belly.
"You remembered?" He asked happy that it was coming back to her.
"Everything" Sam said nodding her head.
"What?" Jack said looking shocked "How?"
"A friend helped me" She said smiling as she thought of Jolinar. "Come on I'm hungry, I'll tell you all about it over some of your world famous pancakes."
"Ok" Jack said still a little confused. He stood and helped her up. "Everything, everything?" He asked as she got up off the bed and smiled at him.
"Well it's all coming in fragments" She said as they walked to the door. "But it's all pretty much coming back."
"Wow" Jack said making a mental note to call Janet.
"Jack" She said smiling at him.
"Yeah?" He asked totally lost in thought.
"I love you" She said smiling when he stopped in his tracks. He turned and looked at her.
"I love you too" He said smiling when she smiled at him. 'Wow' he thought as they headed down the stairs to the kitchen. 'What a life we lead' He thought as he got the stuff out of the fridge. He had been afraid it would be awhile before he heard that again. He looked up at her and smiled.
"Jack you're letting out all the cold air" Sam said smirking at him.
"Right" Jack said nodding his head and smiling. He closed the fridge and got to work as Sam sat there smiling at him and reveling in the memories.
A/NOk I know I got her over the amnesia thing kinda fast but this story isn't about Sam's loss of memory it's about...opps, almost let it slip. Can't have that now can we. You'll all just have to wait to see the bigger picture but just know that you'll get it eventually. So I hope you like it, let me know what you think.
And to Sunstorm2 thanks for all your excellent help. You really are a writers bestfriend! Thanks ever so much!
