Meanwhile Sam and Jacob had taken up positions either side of Alison's bed each holding a hand, Alison woke up, not saying anything after so long not of not being in control forgetting how to speak
"Hey mum" Sam said trying to keep her voice steady and failing miserably
"Sam" Alison said openly crying
"Its okay mum your free now" Sam said only now crying again, her eyes going all puffy
"Love you Sammie" she whispered growing weaker the effort of talking becoming too much
"Love you too mum always" Sam sobbed out, trying to talk but the tears getting in the way, Jacob squeezed Alison's hand as a way of getting her attention, she turned her head to look at him
"Jakey" she said surprise filling her voice, her pale white face was no contrast to the sheet her blue eyes matched Sam's he thought as he gazed lovingly into them savouring every moment
"Ali, I'm sorry, I'm sorry every time I went away for not appreciating you more, for being late, forgetting dinner" he said in a big rush, only Alison's finger on his lips silenced him, before it lovingly wiped away the tears that had fallen
"Jake, I'd forgiven you a long time ago, I knew what I was getting into when I married you, you gave me the best years of my life, I love you so much I can't express it in words" she said not once breaking the magically eye contact they had going
"I love you too Ali, with everything that I have and am and ever will be"
"Promise me something both of you" she whispered growing weaker, and starting to fade away, they both nodded solemnly
"Anything mum" Sam sad speaking for both of them
"Be happy and don't let anything stop you" she said, all three were crying, none of them cared
"Promise mum"
"Promise Ali" came at the same time from the both of them each holding on to each precious second like it was a lifeline
"Love you" Ali whispered her voice no more than a breath, it was her last, they saw her close her eyes drifting off to a permanent sleep, free of the evil
"We love you too mum sleep well" Sam said kissing her mum on the forehead and quietly leaving the room in to the awaiting arms of her friends, Jacob lingered for a little longer, just savouring the moment
"Love you Ali" he said finally not knowing how much time he'd spent sitting there gazing at his dead wife, copying Sam he placed a kiss on her forehead brushing some stray hairs back and wiping away the traces of the tears before covering her with a blanket
He pulled himself together straightening his uniform and wiping away all traces of tears then with a deep breath opened the door,
Sam was sandwiched between Jack and Daniel crying into Jack shoulder, Daniel was rubbing her back and Jack was hugging her, George was looking on, waiting for Jacob, Teal'c was scaring all others away so they wouldn't see, Janet was quietly conferring with Daniel watching him pat Sam's back, as Jack whispered comforting platitudes into her ear, he stood lost George took him by the arm leading him away to his office where he knew his friend would feel safe to break down, Sam was ok, she was with friends
Jacob sat in Hammond's office sobbing as Hammond calmly listened each had a glass of Hammonds finest scotch, it was a routine they had done it after Alison twice now and Emma, (Hammond's dead wife), each trusted each other enough to let down their barriers, he told Hammond about the planet every detail how he felt everything, Hammond listened not commenting letting Jacob tell him everything, making a note to check on Sam. Finally he finished Hammond poured him some more scotch as a simple way of telling him it was ok, Jacob accepted wiping the tears away hiding all evidence he'd been crying, they were interrupted by the 2 Tok'ra members who had been ordered back to base with Jacob, Selmak took over telling them in Gould X-rated language to go away, when Jacob interrupted
"Sel its okay" Jacob reassured him recognising Alison's last words and being with the Tok'ra made him happy, Selmak made him happy, Selmak gave him a big brain hug
"George I'm going to need a favour" He asked knowing what would make Sam happy but was out of reach
"Anything" Hammond promised
"5minutes on the red phone" Jacob asked, Hammond raised his eye brows
"Our last promise was to be happy I want Sam to be happy as much as I hate it he makes her happy" Hammond lifted the red phone moving it closer to Jacob as a way of consenting, Jacob lifted it up
"Yes, Mr President its Jacob carter of the Tok'ra I have a favour"
"Shall we check on Sam" Hammond asked carefully watching as Jacob hung up not giving anything away, Jacob nodded as they walked to where they had left them, hearing the footsteps Sam looked up throwing herself on Jacob in a huge hug he lead her away from the crowd as they talked for ages, she started crying as he explained he had to go away again but nodded her understanding none the less, suddenly she gave him a huge hug, crying with happiness, everyone looked watching wondering why, George knew and hid a smile, then they walked back arm in arm, Jacob subtly led Jack off
"Take care of her son"
"Always do Jacob"
"You love her" he accused
"Yes" Jack admitted
"Good, here" Jacob handed him a piece of paper the president had faxed confirming Jack as ambassador to the Asguard, Jack looked at him confused
"I am official ambassador to the Tok'ra, Sam is my daughter, she shares in my diplomatic immunity, you've always been the unofficial ambassador for the Asguard you're the one they call upon, you negotiated the treaty this makes it official it would mean no extra responsibilities except you and Sam can now have a relationship if you chose to do so" Jacob paused to see Jack look serious
"Thank you Jacob" he said seriously
"Just take good care of her"
"I promise" Jack replied shaking his hand
