Cyllwen: Good to know that. Thanks for reading!
Mick: Hey! I thought you'd stop reading my stories! Glad you liked it so far. You know I didn't even think the photographic memory thing was that funny, but apparently it was!
LJQ: Glad you liked. Yeah the Jonas staying and leaving thing- if you've read my other stories, it means anything is possible.
Note: HI! Yes I am alive! I am so sorry to everyone for taking so long in updating! I literally have had no time to write! But hopefully this and the next few chapters (which will be updated quickly) will make up for that! I hope you'll all keep with me and please review and let me know how I'm doing; even how I can improve! Thanks!
Sometimes Miracles Happen
By Ans4Christ
Several hours later Jonas found himself inside of his quarters sitting on the floor and staring at the wall. He felt like he did when he had first come to earth and when he had returned to Kelowna. Confused and tired. Life did have a way of throwing curve balls and for the past two years life had been throwing a lot of them at him. But now he found himself wanted to just rest and to just think everything over.
He was still upset and worried about Amy, but as he had been helping Daniel he began to have some traces of hope for her. After talking about things in the commissary they had gotten to work on the tablet. They were unable to activate it but as Jonas was going over Daniel's notes about it he realized that something seemed a bit too familiar. A mysterious tablet that emitted a light, was unable to be recorded, and was from the Ancients. It all tied back to the initial device he had found when he had first met Amy. And to the device that he had encountered with the Guardian a few months before he had left earth. What was it about this device that it kept coming back into the scene all the time? What was it, it or something was trying to tell him? What power did it really hold?
Somehow knowing that this tablet had similarities made him believe that perhaps something greater was at work here, and that perhaps everything would work out for good in the end. Perhaps it was just his unending optimism that annoyed so many people. But if he didn't have that optimism he would have given up on so many things so long ago. It had gotten him through in the past, the ability to believe that each new day brought glorious opportunities, and he believed, he had to believe that it would get him through now. Amy had always had faith, he knew she still did, but now he was going to have faith to believe that a miracle could happen, even if he was the only one who did.
Half an hour later he was walking the long corridors of the SGC. It was almost midnight, so the place was desolate compared to what it normally was. His mind was racing as he walked. Not just thinking of the events of that day but having countless memories coming over him as he walked down certain halls or by certain offices. Remembering when he had been there and had been a member of SG-1. He missed it so much. He knew that what he was doing on Kelonwa was necessary, and that in the end he would be glad that he had made the choice to return, but at this moment it was hard for him to believe that.
The return to earth was truly bittersweet. Not just because of Amy, but because of everything else that being there meant. Working with Daniel and seeing Sam and shown him that he was still valued by the SGC. That they hadn't just traded him out because they had gotten their original team member back. Well, he wasn't so sure about Colonel O'Neill. Of course he hadn't seen either the Colonel or Teal'c since he'd been back. He felt that somehow they were avoiding him.
As he turned the corner that would lead him to his quarters he saw Teal'c at his door. Well at least Teal'c's not avoiding me. He thought.
"Looking for someone?" He asked.
Teal'c turned and smiled. "Jonas Quinn. I was just wishing to speak with you. It is good to see you again."
Jonas walked toward him. "It's good to see you too. How are you doing?"
"Very well. I wished to see you earlier, but I thought perhaps you would wish some solitude."
"Is that why everyone has been avoiding me, today?" Jonas asked.
Teal'c nodded solemnly, "Indeed. Both I, O'Neill, and Major Carter wished to give you the opportunity to be alone."
"I worked with Dr. Jackson most of the afternoon actually."
"I heard. Did you come across anything of particular interest Jonas Quinn?"
"I found that this tablet seems to have many similarities to that device that we found several months ago. Remember the one that supposedly supported the Bible?"
"Indeed. It does seem rather odd that you would find a device similar to that yet again."
"Yeah I know, but I'm kind of glad it is similar-even though it drove me crazy in the past."
"How so?"
"Well- hey do you want to go for a walk and I'll tell you?" Teal'c nodded approval, "Okay it drove me crazy in the past because scientifically and logically it made no sense. But having it be there again makes me somehow hopeful about Amy. I know it's probably stupid, but I just believe that things will work out somehow." He paused, "You think that's crazy?"
"I do not. Whether it will prove true or not, with circumstances as this, one must believe in the impossible. I know that you care for her Jonas Quinn, and she you. I can only hope that things will work out for the best."
"Me too." They both walked in silence for a second. "So Dr. Jackson told me you have a girlfriend."
Teal'c smiled. "Indeed. Her name is Ishta. She is the leader of a group of female Jaffa warriors. We helped her and her people by providing them with tretonin. She is a remarkable individual."
"I'll bet."
"How has life been for you on your home world Jonas Quinn?"
"Exhausting. I remember when I was working here how tired I would be sometimes. But at least I enjoyed it. On Kelowna it's been very difficult. I mean I know I'm doing good things there it's just- sometimes I feel like I'm working with school children, all they ever do is argue. They've gotten a bit better but still. Most of the people on Kelonwa have finally forgiven me, but I know that the government officials haven't. They just put up with me because it's the only way to work with the other countries. Sometimes I think that proving myself to Colonel O'Neill was easier that trying to clear my name back there."
"I know that it is difficult for you, Jonas Quinn. But in the end more and more of your people will begin to realize the truth, and on that day they will seek your guidance even more than they already do."
"Maybe. I doubt it though." He said questioningly.
Note: How was it? I know I brought the device back into it. I keep trying to bury that plotline but it keeps popping up. It's getting annoying, I guess my muse likes it I dunno- but I will say that this device is different, so don't be detoured! And always remember to review!
