Remember Me

Jack's mind was racing as he reached the hospital. His hands were going white and his eyes weren't seeing properly as he reached to emergency area and saw the ambulance with the doors wide opened. Jack pulled over and jumped out running across the grass and through the emergency doors. Jack skidded to a halt as he heard a nurse shout out
"Code Blue! We need a deliberator!" Jack watched as they opened Sam's shirt and placed the strips on her chest.
"Clear!" One nurse called and saw as Sam jolted. His eyes scanned the monitor to see it hadn't moved "Again clear!" Again Sam's body jolted and Jacks eyes begged the monitor to move… it didn't. "Boost it up a level and… clear!" Jack's legs felt weak and he predicted the worst. Suddenly...
"We have a pulse!" Jack's heart leaped at the sound of the voice and breathed as he saw the monitor beep.
"Right, move her to ICU we need to get her into surgery ASAP and I want constant supervision for the next 24 to 48 hours" Jack saw as the nurse nodded as they started to push Sam towards the elevator. Jack raced over to the head nurse and stopped her
"How is she? Is she going to be ok?" Jack said in a rush. The nurse looked at him
"I'm sorry are you immediate family?" Jack stopped as if slapped in the face. He knew if he said no, she would never be able to see Sam. But he couldn't really say yes. He saw she was waiting for an answer "Mr?"
"Yes, I'm her… Husband… Jack…" Jack felt a lump form in his throat as the words left his mouth. He saw the nurse's face change.
"I'm sorry" She continued "It's hard to tell but we suspect she has internal bleeding and a fair few broken bones, she has to go into surgery and then we'll know more" Jack nodded slowly
"Thank you" was all he said as he went to sit down on a chair off to one side. Pulling his wallet out something dropped on the floor. Jack bent down and picked it up. It was a photo of Sam that he had taken last time it was her birthday. Jack smiled slightly.
'Please be ok' He thought as he placed it back onto his wallet 'Please be ok'

It had been a long night for Jack. Carter was put in and out of surgery for internal bleeding 3 times and all three times she had come back out of it still alive. Every time Jack thanked the air around him for not taking her and now he was emotionally and physically drained. Jack was nearly asleep in the chair when he heard footsteps and his name being called.
"Jack?" O'Neill looked up to see Daniel and Teal'c walking towards him. Jack rubbed his face as they stopped in front of him
"How is Major Carter?" Teal'c asked noticing Jacks tired appearance
"She's been in and out of surgery all night. They still aren't sure if she'll survive during today" Daniel looked down sad and sat next to Jack.
"We saw the news footage of the plane, the whole base has heard and is praying she'll pull through. She is very lucky to have survived such a crash for this long" Daniel finished. Jack groaned as he leaned forward and placed his hands in his head.
"She's still not out of it yet, you should have seen her Daniel, she was so… so…" Daniel placed a hand on his shoulder
"It's ok Jack"
"So has Jacob been contacted?" Jack asked. Daniel nodded
"Yes, he's on his way back from an important mission, it may take him a few days, he's getting here as quick as possible" Jack sighed and was about to say something when a nurse walked over to him
"Excuse me, Sir?" Jack looked up to see a nurse standing before him. He stood quickly
"How is she? Is she ok?" The nurse smiled weakly
"She is in coma. We managed to stop the internal bleeding onto the brain for the time being. She is stable at the moment but still extremely critical. To tell you the truth we never expected her to last this long. Your wife is a strong woman" Daniel and Teal'c's eyes met at the word 'wife'. Jack grimaced
"Thank you, can I see her?" The nurse nodded
"Yes, but not for to long" Jack closed his eyes as the nurse walked away. Daniel folded his arms and looked down
"Wife?" Jack gritted his teeth
"It was the only way they would tell me anything" Daniel smiled across at Teal'c
"Sure it was" Jack rolled his eyes
"I'm going to check on Carter" He said as he walked down the hall towards the elevator.
"Tell your 'wife' hello for us and hope she gets better soon" Daniel called after him. Jack wave a hand and didn't look back.

Jack stopped as he saw the door of which Sam was behind. Closing his eyes he readied himself to see what was to come
'You can do this' He thought as he slowly pushed the door open and stepped through. Jack took a breath then looked up. It felt like the air had been knocked out of him and he was suffocating. Jack's eyes hurt as they scanned across Sam's body and all the tubes that were attached to her. Jack slowly stepped towards her and looked across her fragile form. She looked so at peace.
"Carter?" He whispered but she didn't respond. Jack reached out and took her hand gently. He knew he wasn't allowed in the room with her, let alone claiming to be her husband but he felt he had no other choice. Jack looked at her badly bruised face and felt a knot tie in his stomach.
"Carter, its Jack. I don't know if you can hear me but I just want to let you to know... I'm here for you" He finished gently picking up her hand and kissing it.
'I'm always here for you'
