Flashback

He looked back down at Jo and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Jo, we will solve this. I promise you, we will solve this."

Jo smiled up at Zane and he suddenly realized who he really loved.

Jo watched Zane leave the infirmary with a slight swing in his step. She smiled inwardly to herself before sighing internally. It has been a long day, she thought, and it might be my last… Even as this thought swirled through her head she remembered how attentive Zane had been and smiled again. Maybe we'll finally get together in this time line…if I survive this.

Jo settled back onto her bed and watched the chaos of work surrounding her. Sean and Sam had left with Zane to keep looking for the cure. Sam and Sean, what a cute couple! They definitely belong together and I can't believe they just realized this… Suddenly Carter appeared at the end of her bed. "Hey Jo," Carter said. "I've been trying to find the root of the virus but no luck so far. So how are you doing?"

"Well except for the fact that I'm dying, I am just dandy!" Jo spat letting a sob escape her mouth. Realizing her moment of weakness she dropped her head to her chest. Carter looked down at her sadly before walking over to the side of her bed and putting a arm around her shoulder.

"Don't worry Zane will solve this. He's never failed us before." Carter said trying to comfort her.

"But maybe not this Zane," Jo replied whispering. Carter looked worried at her moment of despair and then walked over to Allison having a quick whispered conversation with her. Then he hurried back over to Jo's side.

"I'm going to get back to work now. Stay strong Jo," Carter said walking back towards the door. Jo sighed and settled herself back in bed and once again looked over the infirmary with a slight smile thinking of Zane.

In Zane's lab, Sam, Sean, and Zane were all working quickly with grimaces on all of their faces. Suddenly a thought came to Sam, What if we don't solve this? What about Jo sitting in the infirmary all alone with just hours left?

"Zane," Sam said softly turning to look at her friend.

"What?" he replied impatiently thinking of Jo laying in the infirmary suffering.

"Do want to go stay with Jo?" Sam said back wincing at his impatient snarl.

"No, why would I?" Zane said snarling again whipping his head around to look at a shocked Sam.

"Look, Sam was just trying to be nice, don't yell at her!" Sean spat back glaring over at Zane who now looked embarrassed.

Looking over at Sean and giving an apologetic glance Zane said, "Yeah sorry, Sam, but why would Jo want to see me. Before this she hated me, why would now be any different."

"Come on, Zane, are you blind or what? Don't you see the way Jo looks at you?" Sam cried exasperated.

This was the first time Sean saw Zane blush this red. Sam laughed at this before Zane replied, "No why would you think that?"

"For being a genius you really aren't that bright when it comes to women are you?" Sam just snickered as Sean said this.

Zane let out an exasperated sigh before stalking out the lab incredibly embarrassed, humiliated, and a little upset and Sam and Sean.

As Zane walked away towards the infirmary, Sean turned to Sam with a smirk on his face. "You love playing match-maker, don't you?"

Sam smiled back in return saying, "You bet I do!" She kissed him on the cheek before getting back to work. Sean sighed internally and turned back to his work trying to concentrate on Jo rather than Sam who was standing about seven feet away. He sighed again and starting typing furiously.

Jo better live or Zane will go crazy, Sam thought, At least that's how I'd feel if it was Sean on his death bed.

Zane walked up to Jo's bed to find her snoring softly with a small smile on her face. He sat down on the chair beside her bed and moved a strand of hair out of her face. Her eyes fluttered open at his touch. "Hey sleepy-head," Zane said removing his hand quickly.

"Hey," Jo replied softly, "Why aren't you working?" she continued teasingly.

"If you want me to leave, I'll go," he said with a smirk.

"No!" Jo replied putting on a distraught face thinking, I miss this banter from the old timeline.

Zane smirked again and leaned down to kiss Jo on the forehead. Jo's breath caught in her throat, and she smiled up at him.

"After all this is over do you want to go out to eat?" Zane asked suddenly.

"Like- like on a d-date?" Jo asked startled.

"Oh is Jo-Jo nervous?"

"Nope, and yes I would love to," Jo replied smiling. Zane let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.

Zane smiled down at her again but suddenly the door slammed open and Zane jumped away his face reddening slightly.

Sam sped over with Sean watching her hesitantly. "This time I am sure I found a cure! A cure! Imagine I found a cure!" Sam cried.

Zane jumped up and started discussing it with her and Allison. Allison looked worried while Sam looked excited and Zane looked startled and hopeful at the same time. Sean was the only one looking at Jo to see the tears rolling down her cheeks which were stretched in the first genuine smile all day.

Please Review! Sorry the chapter is so short...its sorta a filler but the next will be really good...I promise! Oh and there are only two more chapters and for an FYI this is after they started seeing the hallucinations but before Jo threw the ring at him...it will be explained better in the last chapter. Oh and I have decided to do a whole series with Sam and Sean. There will be two stories set before this story one about Eureka and another about NCIS...and there will be a sequel to this one. Thanks and once again review...please?
