Hey there guys! As always- thank you very much for all the reviews, they keep me writing, lol! Also, so sorry that its been long over a week since I've posted anything after that little cliffhanger. I' m finally done with school for the year and I'm done moving (for now anyway!) So with all that behind me I can concentrate on writing a bit more, yay! Right? Anyway, enough rambling excuses... here's the continuation, hope you enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel and Teal'c were off over a sand dune that blocked their view of the stargate, waiting for Jack and Sam to meet them, when they heard Jack over the radio. As soon as they did, both Teal'c and Daniel made a mad dash for the stargate. Jack had not elaborate on what it was that him and Sam needed help with, but by hearing the urgency in Jack's voice, they were both already beginning to imagine the worse.

Daniel slid down the last sand dune and saw that they were not under any alien attack. Teal'c saw this as well and lowered his staff weapon, but neither one of them slowed down their pace one bit. On the far side of the stargate Jack was poised over Sam who was shaking violently on the ground.

Oh, God, Jack, what happened! said Daniel as he knelt down besides Jack.

Daniel! I-I I don't know. She got up to head out then she just collapsed and started shaking all over. What do we do? Jack said as he noticed the two men besides him.

I don't know. Ah, geez.Come on, Daniel! You're the closest thing to a doctor we got here! Think.Okay, Okay. Umm, don't hold her down, for all we know she could be having some kind of a seizure.

Jack quickly took his hand off of her shoulder, coincidentally, Sam stopped shaking. But she did not open her eyes. Jack said, stroking her hair, forgetting rank for a moment, Can you hear me? Her head rolled slightly to one side, but she didn't answer him in anyway.

Come on, Sam. said Daniel, voicing Jack's thoughts. Is she breathing okay?

Jack put his ear up to Sam's face and could just barely feel the soft touch of her breath against his skin. Damn, it's shallow. He then felt for a pulse on her neck, But her pulse is erratic. He turned to Daniel confused, but found that Daniel was just as confused as he was.

Finally, after what seemed like a life time for the rest of the team, Sam opened her eyes into thin slits.

Jack said warmly. She opened her mouth slightly, as if trying to speak, but no sound came out.

said Teal'c, handing him his canteen of water.

Thanks, Buddy. Here, Sam. Drink some of this. He slowly lifted Sam's head up off the ground and brought the canteen to her mouth. She was only able to take one small sip before she started coughing. Easy, now. Okay, said Jack.

Jack handed Daniel the canteen and got on one knee. Slowly he raised Sam off the ground and held her up against him like a sleeping child, her head on his elevated knee. She felt so weak. She wasn't moving.

They all sat there in silence for sometime, no one really knowing what to do, or what to say. Finally, it was Daniel who spoke up.

Uhm... Jack? Daniel said softly.

he answered, his eyes never leaving Sam's face.

Uh, those lines on the ground, they are only visible for a few hours each day and the village seems to be quite a ways off. We should really get out there as soon as we can so that we can get back to Earth as soon as we can.And maybe there we can get Major Carter some medical assistance, interjected Teal'c.

said Daniel.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right, Jack responded, looking away from Sam for the first time only to hear her speak.

Sam said almost inaudibly, then lost conscienceness all together.

Okay, lets go, ordered Jack.

O'Neill do you wish for me to carry Major Carter? Teal'c asked Jack as he began to stand up.

Jack looked down at Sam lying in his arms, Uh- no, no thanks Teal'c, I will.

Teal'c nodded and instead picked up Sam's back pack which had been discarded next to the stargate.
