Keeping the Peace AU
Things You Said When I Was Crying
...
"Sam we will not lose each other today!"
"SAM GET OUT OF THERE NOW!"
"SAM!"
...
Julianna Callaghan could not stop the tears. She could hear the Sarge in her headset giving them a speech about being strong, keeping at the tasks they were given. She didn't care though. Sam was gone. This morning was she was the happiest she'd ever been. She got to married the cocky sniper who stole her heart all those years ago. The father of her unborn child. Now, now he was gone. She refuses to believe that just like that she was a widow. They've only been married for a couple of hours. They were suppose to grow old together. The tears came quicker and she was sobbing now.
"Jul? Sarge?" Jules heard the quiet moan coming from her headset.
"Sam?" Greg's voice came through, followed by a "Yes" from Leah and a "Samtastic" from Spike.
"Status Sam?" Ed's voice came next.
"Hurts. Hard to breath. Can't move." Sam replied. Jules could hear the pain in his voice.
Relief. Thats what Jules felt. Sam was alive. He was hurt and trapped, but he was alive.
For now, a small voice in the back of her mind added.
"Sam we got rescue crew on their way, we are going to get you out of there. Just stay still and keep talking to us." she heard Ed say.
"Kay." she heard Sam reply.
"Sam Braddock you do not do that to me again." Jules said when she finally calmed down enough.
"Jules we're switching to channel four, stay on channel two with Sam. Keep him talking. Can you do that?" Sarge told her.
"Hear that Sam? Sarge basically just gave me permission to talk your ear off. Do we have to go through why you need to listen to Spike when bombs are involved?" Jules asked.
"I love you Jules." Sam answered.
"I love you too Sam. You just hang in there ok? Help is on its way. We will not lose each other today. You hear me?" Jules demanded.
"Sor" Jules could tell that he was struggling with each breath to stay awake.
"Sadie" Sam mumbled.
"What?" Jules asked her tears returned.
"If the baby is a girl, you should name her Sadie. It means princess." Sam coughed, his voice was strained.
"No, Sam we are going to get you out of there, and and we have lots of time in the next coming months to talk about names. You do not give up on me." She would not give up on him. Not today. Not ever.
When he didn't answer her right away her sobs returned.
"Sam? Sam speak to me? Sam can you hear me?" Jules begged.
He can't give up. Not when they just became husband and wife. Not when they were starting a family together. Jules needed him.
She can hear Ed in her headset, telling her that they were close. Close to getting to him. She should be hopeful, but Sam had stopped responding, the channel his headset is on was quiet. She doesn't know if he just passed out from the pain or took his final breath. All she can do now is wait. Wait for Ed and the rescue crew to get to him. Wait for the news that might just change her life forever.
Is Sam alive? Did they get to him in time? You decide and tell me in the reviews! ;P
I think I made myself cry.
