Remember Me

It was one week later when Jack awoke to the sound off footsteps. He opened his eyes slowly and waited for his vision to come back before he saw Jacob standing behind him
"Jacob?" Jack said standing up. "It's good you're here" He said glancing over Sam's body which was still motionless. Jacob smiled wirily
"It's good to see you Jack, I only wish I could have come sooner" he replied as he walked and stood next to the bed gazing over is daughters damaged body.
"I can't believe she is still alive, the doctors said she has many broken bones and had severe internal bleeding" he muttered as he took Sam's hand in his own. Jack looked down momentarily
"It was a long week, they didn't think she would make it. She went in and out of surgery at least 3 times for bleeding on the brain" Jacob glanced across at Jack
"Daniel and Teal'c told me what you did out at the crash, I am very thankful to you Jack. You saved my little girl" Jack looked away
"I would have done it for anyone" he murmured. Jacob nodded knowing there was something more so he changed the subject
"So how did you get access in here, they had to make sure I was family before they'd let me through" Jack swallowed noticeably and looked down
"Well, you see Jacob, I kind of…" He started then mumbled off. Jacob half smiled
"Told them you were her husband?" Jack looked up at him
"Yeah something like that" Jacob sighed smiling weakly.
"I'm sure Sam would have found that amusing" Jack felt awkward.
"Yeah, I'm sure she would have" he said as he glanced across her unconscious form. Just then Jacob looked at Jack
"I took the healing device from the base" Jacks eyes went wide as he turned
"You did what?! Well what are we standing here for?!" Jack stated loudly
"Shh! There will be a nurse coming round to check on her soon. I can't do it until she does her check" Jack pursed his lips, he wanted Jacob to do it now, to end Carters pain and bring her back but he knew that it was too risky. Jack sighed
"Yeah ok, I just hope she hurry's up, I hate hospitals"

It was sometime later when the nurse left the room. Jack nodded to Jacob who pulled out the healing device. Jack's heart leaped, she was going to live. He moved to the door and gently put a chair against it so no one would come in.
"Alright, let's get her back" Jack stated as he moved over to the bed.
"I'm not sure if It'll work…"
"I have great faith in you" Jack replied not wanting to know the answer if he didn't succeed. Jacob took a deep breath and held the device over Sam's body then closed his eyes. Jack watched as the light sprayed down on her body and he prayed that it would work. Jack didn't know what he would do if she died. He never really asked himself that question, not ever wanting to know the answer. Jack took a deep breath as Jacob stopped
"So how'd it go?" he asked hoping. Jacob looked at him and nodded
"Her bones are still broken but the rest is fine, she should…" he stopped suddenly when Sam made a sound. Jack looked over to see her eyes were flickering. Jacob smiled "…Wake up soon" he finished smiling. Jack took her hand gently as she opened her eyes and stared at the roof
"Mm" she groaned feeling the uncomfortable tube down her neck. Jacob stood next to her
"Hey there kiddo, you gave us a big scare back there" He said as Sam slightly turned her head towards him. Jacob noticed a difference in her eyes, they seemed glad to see him. Suddenly she reached up and started to pull on the tube down her next. Jacob helped her and gently pulled it out making Sam cough. "There you go" He placed the tube down. Sam swallowed
"Dad?" she croaked her words dry "What happened?" Jacob pushed a strand of her hair back out of her face
"You were in a plane crash, you were critical so I used the healing device from the base to bring you back" he replied. Sam just stared at him for a long moment while Jack waited patiently. "Jack found you in the wreckage" Jacob finished motioning to Jack. Sam looked at him curiously then managed to turn her head to Jack who was smiling
"Hey there, you gave us a bit of a scare Major" Sam looked at him for a long moment and Jack noticed a different look in her eyes. He looked at her questioningly "Carter?" He reached out to touch her face but she pulled back slightly. Jack opened his mouth and Jacob noticed the change
"Sam?"
"I'm sorry" Sam said looking at Jack "Who are you?" Jack swallowed hard and his heart felt like it would stop at any minute. He inhaled for a moment
"Carter, it's me, Jack?… Colonel O'Neill?… Sir?" He said, hope slipping from his voice. She blinked and coughed slightly. Jack held her hand tightly
"Jack? I'm sorry I don't remember you…" She coughed again and Jack felt a lump form in his throat, he smiled reluctantly as he glanced at Jacob
"The device can't heal everything, she must have amnesia" Jacob replied placing a hand on her arm. She looked at Jack for a long moment before pulling her hand from his. Jack felt hurt at the movement, Sam saw it
"I'm sorry I just… because I don't know you, I… please leave" Jack looked up at Jacob who looked at him sadly
"I'll see if I can talk to her" Jack nodded
"Thank you" he replied before he took last look at Sam "Get well soon Major." He said before he took a breath and walk around the bed then out the door. Jack walked down the hall. All he wanted was to be here with her and talk to her but how can he talk to someone who doesn't know who he is. Jack felt lost, like the world was against him. He felt like giving up but he didn't give up before when she needed him and he wasn't going to give up now. Jack pressed the elevator button. He was more determined than ever now
'I won't give up on you Carter… I can't and I won't…'
