A/N: I'm making up for the long delay in posting. I'm thinking this is close to done. Enjoy!

"What do you mean, he's been moved?"

"We don't have the kind of facility here to treat him here. We moved him to the Academy while you were off world."

"I didn't get to say goodbye!"

"He's not going anywhere Sam, but we needed the space for when one of the teams comes back through that gate injured." Janet was cut off by Sam storming out of the infirmary and down the all. "Sam, wait."

Sam didn't wait, she didn't stop. She just signed out and got into her car on the surface and drove the 45 minute drive up I-25 to the Air Force Academy Hospital. She had been here plenty of times, when her dad was sick and when she was kid when they were stationed in Colorado. The hospital had been renovated throughout the years, but it was the same feeling no matter why she was there. It held a ominous feeling every time she entered the building. It took her only a matter of minutes to locate Jack's room. He was still the same, sleeping peacefully.

She walked over and took his hand and brought it to her lips. A stray tear fell from her eye and she couldn't hold it back anymore. It had been two weeks since his injury occurred. All the tests Janet run said that there was a small portion of damage, but what was keeping him in coma was unknown to her. Sam remembered hearing that people in comas can here things around them, so she decided to give it a chance. She pulled up a chair still holing on to his hand took a deep breath and started to talk.

"Jack, I know that you can hear me. You have to hear me. I'm sorry that this happened to you, I'm sorry that I did this to you. If you would have just let me resign, none of this would have ever happened to you. I wish that you would wake up so that I could say this to your face. I want you to wake up so that you can take me on that date you promised me. I want you to finish that kiss that we started in your guest room all those weeks ago. I want to see where it leads. I want to use the loophole that General Hammond and the President found so that we can be together. I want us Jack. Please wake up. I need you to wake up. I didn't know that I couldn't do this without you until you were no longer there. Please."

She kept repeating the word please over and over again. Finally after the sun went down and nurse came in and told her that visiting hours were over and told Sam that she had to leave. Sam reluctantly left and went home. As she opened the door, she noticed the new carpet, she had laid last week. She only hoped that Jack liked it. She decided he didn't need to come home and see a blood stain.

Sam had taken to staying at Jack's house while he was in the hospital. She very rarely actually left the base, but when she did, this was where she came. It had become her home. That night instead of staying in the guest room he made up for her, she slept in his bed. The sheets and pillows smelled of him and she wrapped her arms around them embracing the scent. It was comforting almost like he was there holding her as she cried and eventually drifted off to sleep.

Her sleep was interrupted by the ringing of her cell. The Tokr'a had called and Jacob was to be there to see her. In the past month they had made several attempts to contact him, but he had never been able to come, now he was coming and he wanted to see his baby girl.

The drive to the base from Jacks house wasn't long, but Sam tried to calm her nerves in preparation for seeing her father. She needed to portray the good little solider to him. It was what was expected of her and she never let her dad down. She made it down the elevator and was standing at the base of the platform when the worm hole engaged and her dad stepped through.

"Sam."

"Hi dad."

"George, good to see you."

"And you Jacob."

"Where's Jack, he's usually here when I arrive." He turned to see his daughters face and knew in an instant that something was wrong. "What happened?"

"We should talk in my office."

The General and Sam went over what had transpired over the past month and Jack's current state of health. Jacob looked at Sam on and off, surprised at everything that had happened. He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that someone had hurt his baby girl and now she was hurting for the man that she loved.

"Where is he?"

"The Academy, they can't really do anything else for him here."

"I'm going to change and then Sam I want you to take me to see him. Perhaps some Tokr'a technology will help out here."

Even though visiting hours had yet to begin Janet had cleared it for Jacob and Sam to be in the room with Jack. Jacob used the healing device and hoped that it would help. Soon it became clear the injuries were not what was causing Jack from waking up, it was Jack, he needed to wake up on his own. The rest of the week went like that Jacob spent a lot of time with Sam, which was usually with Jack, since that was where she chose to stay. She didn't want to leave him.

Jacob's mini vacation was over after 10 days and he went back to the Tokr'a home world. He gave Sam a big hug and told her that it would all be ok in time. It just needed time. Once Jacob left SG1 went back on active rotation. Jack wasn't going to be replaced and Sam did a good job of taking over for Jack. When they were home, Sam was usually found at Jack's bedside. Two months had now passed and he had still yet to wake up. Janet told her that it was time to say goodbye, nothing more could be done. He wasn't going to wake up. So Sam went one last time, to say goodbye.

"They tell me that I have to say Goodbye. I've never told you good luck or anything like that, we never needed it. We only needed a look and we knew what to do. I only wish that I knew what to do now. I don't want to leave you, we never leave a man behind. I want you to wake up. I love you Jack I always have, I want you to know that. Know that I will never stop believing in us and our chance. Maybe we never should have left it in the room all those years ago. I wish I could go back and start again right there that moment in time. I know that I can't. This is so hard for me, you have no idea. By saying goodbye that means that you are leaving me. My mom left, my dad, no one stays I thought that you would be the first to stay. So this is goodbye. Why does it have to be so hard?" She bent over and placed a kiss on his forehead near the hairline, she stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Goodbye Jack."

She turned and walked out the door, she didn't hear the sound of her name being said from a horse mouth as she went down the hall and back to his house.
