Set during/after the episode Between Heartbeats.
And definitely AU!
Things You Didn't Say At All
...
He should have protected her. He should have given her the shield the moment they knew it was a decoy. He should have gotten her off that damn rooftop faster. He should have been the one that got shot, not her. He shouldn't be rushing to the hospital, to face the unknown.
They should be on their way to either her house or his apartment.
They should be going to Home Depot to pick up more paint for her family room.
...
As Sam reaches the ICU, he spots his team, sitting in uncomfortable chairs. Spike, Woody and Lew all with their heads in their hands. Ed starring straight ahead at nothing, and the Sarge, watching as nurses and doctors go in and out of those double doors towards the surgery rooms.
Once he gets closer to him, they all look up, briefly acknowledging him, and than going back to their previous positions.
"We haven't gotten any news yet." Sarge states, as he continues looking at the double doors.
Sam nods and takes a seat next to Spike.
...
In what seems like hours later, or it could have been just minutes, a doctor walks through the doors and asks for the family of Julianna Callaghan.
All six of them stand up, looking for any sign of what the doctor is about to tell them.
Sam wished he was better at reading people, but it's something he hasn't mastered yet.
The first words out of the doctor's mouth is "I'm sorry." and thats when the team falls apart.
Spike sinks to the ground in a sob, and Lew is right there beside him holding on.
Woody walks back to the chair he occupied before, sits down and puts his head in his hands once again.
Ed angrily walks to the nearest wall and drives his right fist into it, before storming away.
The Sarge is the calmest, he listens to everything the doctor is saying and than agrees to contact her family in Medicine Hat.
Sam just stands there.
He can't move.
His body went numb the minute he realized that he would never see Jules smile again.
He's never going to be able to kiss her.
She's no longer his sexy sniper chick.
He just continues to stand there, unable to move, thinking about all the things he never going to have the chance to say.
He should have told her he loved her when he had the chance.
But now she'll never know.
And he'll never know if she felt the same.
I kind of hate myself for the direction this one took!
Reviews are essential!
