* Sorry that the previous chapter was short. It was originally attached to this one, but I thought it was more effective to end it with Sam confessing to Jacob. Hopefully I'll have the next chapter up within the next few days! *

Before Jacob went back through the gate, he hugged Sam at the bottom of the ram. "I'm so sorry Dad" whispered Sam.

Jacob pulled back and looked at her. "Why?"

"Colonel O'Neill," she said, looking down at her feet.

"Oh Sam, I'm not mad." He sighed. "I've seen you two together. I already knew that you two were close than the others. We'll fix this Sam." Jacob turned to General Hammond. "I must question the Tok'ra high council about this."

General Hammond nodded. "Godspeed Jacob."

Jacob kissed Sam on the cheek and walked up the ramp and through the stargate.

"Receiving a message from the Tok'ra sir!"

General Hammond nodded. "Patch it through."

"George, it's Jacob. The high council believes that a combination of some of the Tok'ra elders may be strong enough to help Jack. They want to come through right away"

General Hammond pushed the button on the microphone. "Alright."

Suddenly the gate came to life."Receiving Tok'ra IDC sir!"

General Hammond, Sam, Teal'c, and Daniel ran into the gateroom as Jacob, Anise, and a few others walked through the event horizon. Jacob walked down the ramp and hugged Sam. "Don't worry."

Anise stepped forward. "We'll need to see Colonel O'Neill right away."

"Follow me," said General Hammond.

In the infirmary, the Tok'ra elders surrounded Jack's bed. Jacob turned to Sam, "you may want to leave for this."

"No. I want to stay."

Jacob nodded and turned back to the elders. Staying close together, they held out their healing devices and closed their eyes.

Sam stood at the back of the room watching intently. Daniel went over to her and held onto her hang. Pulling it up to his mouth, he gave it a quick kiss. "It'll be okay Sam."

Sam squeezed his hand, not trusting her voice.

Almost two hours had passed, when Jack started convulsing. Sam gasped "Stay back Sam!"

Jack's body was twisting and jerking wildly. "STOP!!" Sam cried and took a step forward, but Daniel pulled her back.

"We have to continue," said Jacob. "Don't worry. He's okay."

Minutes passed when suddenly Jack stopped and Anise nodded to Jacob. Jacob turned to them, "we're done. Jack's internal injuries are healed, but he's been unconscious for a very long time. It's up to Jack now to get out of the coma."

Sam nodded and let out the breath that she had been holding. "Thank you. Thank you so much."

"Would you all like some refreshments?" asked General Hammond.

"I'm sorry General, but we must get back," said Anise.

"OF course," said General Hammond escorting them out.

But Jacob held back waiting to speak to Sam. "Sam, if Jack gets out of this, and if I know Jack, he will, you shouldn't let the regs get in the way of your life."

"Dad…"

"Sam, you and Jack, all of SG1 have done do much for this country, hell the whole planet. If you look, you'll be surprised how many strings you have than you can pull."

He gave her a hug and a kiss, and then left her alone in the room with Jack.

Sam walked over to Jack and sat down next to him. Sighing she sat back. Wake up Jack, she thought. Wake up.
