Chapter 11 – With You

Spoilers: Threads – Season 8 - AU from thereon

Pairings: Jack & Sam of course

Thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed so far. I really appreciate it.

A/N: Sorry its taken so long to update, its really be hard to write lately, not that I haven't had the time, it's just that I haven't had any "lightbulbs" going off in my head. This is very short chapter, I hope it ties you over. I know where I want my story to go, I'm just having a little trouble getting there at the moment.

"I swear to god Carter, I feel like I'm losing my mind here" Jack ranted

Soothingly his wife replied, "I know jack, just be patient".

"Patient, damnit it Sam, patience was never one of my strong suits, I'm going nuts here. We have to find some way to stop these visions".

"I know honey, but Thor said he was doing everything he could to try and suppress them, but he's a little busy at the moment."

"I understand that Sam, but….."

"No buts Jack. You have to give him a chance"

"NO Sam, I can't do it anymore. I'm exhausted. I'm too scared to sleep. I'm scared to let you and the baby out of my sight"

"Jack, please, I know you're tired, please, for us, try to hold on"

Lying in his bed in the infirmary, Jack took her hand and nodded. He kept his eyes closed as he knew if he looked her in the eye, he knew she would see he was lying. His patience had run out. His last dream had shown him the home world of their new enemy. He would have to take things into his own hands. The heart told him not to abandon hope, the voices in his head told him it was the right thing to do. He had to do this to save his wife and daughter.

3 months prior:

The earth global defence systems had been successfully installed and earth was protected against any interstellar attack, or so they assumed, as they hadn't yet had the opportunity to test it. Thinking that once the implementation of the systems had been installed, his nightmares, or premonitions as they had been called, would cease, but unfortunately they didn't. Even though Jack denied it in the beginning, they were becoming more vivid. The new enemy had become known as the Ori, a powerful race that swept through the Universe converting or killing all in its way.

Now:

Jack awoke from the sedative he had been given, his dream or vision, still playing in front of his eyes, his heart beating a million miles a minute, his blood felt like it was boiling, he began to tear at his hair, he was screaming in agony, he felt hot and cold and numb all at the same time, his pathetic screams attracting the attention of the on duty nurse and the AF's who were standing guard outside the infirmary. He couldn't do this any longer, he really felt like he was going insane, as the concerned co-workers got closer to him, Jack lashed out, demanding "Where's Samantha? Where's my baby? What have you done with them? Tell me damnit, TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE", as they fought to sedate him again his dream promptly returned and he found himself.. running through the halls of the SGC. The power had gone down and the backup generator had yet to kick in. Jack could only thank the heavens that Sam wasn't here to see what he was about to do….

In a loving home not too far away, a mother and daughter slept peacefully together, unaware of what was happening to their husband and father, and even more frightening, completely unaware of the alien vessel that had entered orbit around the Earth and was plotting to beam a sleeping mother and daughter aboard their ship.
