Sorry about the long wait. I'll try to update regularly now and I have got a spell checker running!
Previously On Stargate:
However, a few rooms down from Sam's room, a man lay sleeping soundly. He had suffered a broken arm; a few broken ribs one of them had punctured his lung. He was, apart from these obvious injuries, okay. Beside the fact, that, he had recently been involved in a side on collision. The sleeping form rolled over, completely oblivious of the problems he had caused just down the corridor.
Chapter Six
He groaned in pain as his eyes opened and he glanced around the room. The stereotypical hospital walls watched him, the silence was punctured by the steady sound of bleeping machines which, he realised seconds later, were measuring his heartbeat, beat by beat.
He lay like this for a few seconds, contemplating why he was here and desperately trying to remember what had transpired. He reached a blank. Becoming tired he slipped into sleep again. Thoughts and old memories swirled around his head as he fell into a deep slumber.

The images were coming thick and fast now. She tried to stem them, and failed. Instead she tried to remember them; she tried to work out who was in them. Then she heard a name, "Jack." She recognised that name. She furiously tried to put a name to the face. She succeeded. She pulled up a face. The light grew brighter, then, it slipped away again and she felt a familiar tugging around her, pulling her away from "Jack." She resisted but was too tired.

Daniel
Daniel sighed, it was a long day and the news the nurse had brought was bad. He had no idea how to break it to Jack and worse Jack would most probably overreact because of his lack of sleep. All in all, Daniel didn't really want to be Daniel right now. He watched Jack through the window before noticing his own reflection, he looked terrible. His beard was growing back and he had bags under his eyes. His hair was messed up and his glasses were out of control. He tried to make himself look respectable before entering the room.
Jack
Jack only looked up to register who had entered then went back to his own thoughts, his hand never leaving Sam's. He slipped back into his memories and began recounting past missions again to Sam, his gaze never left her face and his voice never faltered. He only noticed Daniel take a seat opposite him, on the other side of Sam.
Daniel
Dan sat opposite Jack and tried to think of what to say. He cleared his throat to gain Jacks attention, it worked, Jacks chocolaty brown eyes were trained on his face. Which, as you can imagine, put him off, a lot. Daniel averted his eyes and fixed them on a point slightly above Jacks shoulder and started to speak.
"The guy...who...uh…put Sam in here. He's…six rooms down." Daniel spoke softly in a hope for Jack to stay sat, it failed. The reaction he got from Jack was immediate. He was on his feet in minutes striding for the door, Daniel got up and ran to the door to block him.
Narrator
"There's nothing you can do!" Ignoring this, Jack made an attempt to push Daniel out of the way.
"Jack! What d'you think Sam would say?" Wrong thing to say,
"She can't tell me because he," Jack jabbed his finger to where he thought the driver was, "Put her in here!" Daniel still resisted,
"What good is it going to do if you go down there and have it out with him?"
"It'll make me feel a heck of a lot better." Jack growled. Daniel, however merely shook his head.
"It wouldn't make a difference and you know it!" Deep down Jack knew he was right, but he refused to admit this. It would mean admitting he was wrong. Losing heart, he tried one last attempt but Teal'c stood stoically next to Daniel and refused Jack leave. Knowing he was beat, Jack sighed and returned to his seat to watch over Sam. His anger had subsided, but only temporarily.
