Chapter thirteen
Fortunately, the airman from the security room had watched in horror at what had just happened to Jack and Sam. He called to have the power to the elevator cut off and have a medical team sent to level 21. Luckily, it was the same level as the infirmary. They were able to get the doors opened and get them on the two gurneys that were waiting for them and into the infirmary. Once there, they both were flat line.
Janet rushed in and saw what was happening, then she went in to doctor mode. She told Dr. Brightman to start working on Jack, while she worked on Sam. They both were able to get a pulse, but it was weak. They were able to remove their clothing to see where they had been electrocuted. There was bruising on Jack's right shoulder and it was dislocated. With Sam, it was just a bruising.
Janet walked out after an hour in there. She told the others outside the infirmary that both Jack and Sam had been electrocuted for about thirty to forty seconds. She also told them that their chances are survival were slim.
"George, the healing device, I could use it to help heal them both. Then they would definitely have a better chance of living," Jacob said.
"Ok, Teal'c, can you go and get the device?" Teal'c bowed then ran to get the device.
"What healing device, what would that do?" Janet asked.
"Janet, it will heal the body ten times faster than normal. The bruising on Jack's shoulder will fade away within five seconds and it will also heal his dislocated shoulder with in ten seconds." Daniel said.
"Wow, that is amazing!" Janet said.
A couple of minutes later Teal'c showed up with the device. They all walked into the room. Jacob started off with Jack since he was the worst out of the two. Within thirty seconds he was healed. His blood pressure and heart rate were back to normal. Then he worked on Sam. Then they all waited for them to wake up.
Half an hour later, Jack woke up first. Teal'c was watching over them both. When Jack started to wake up, Teal'c told the nurse that Jack was waking up. She went to get the doctor and she also called General Hammond, to let him know.
"Sam!" Jack said, with his eyes closed.
"O'Neill, it is I."
"Teal'c, where is Sam? Where am I?"
"You are in the infirmary. Both you and Major Cater were electrocuted, by accident, in the elevator"
"What, how did that happen? I thought we were on some planet where a ship was?"
"O'Neill, what is the last thing you remember?"
"Going through the wormhole to some planet where some sort of time ship was."
Then Jack opened his eyes and blinked few times and then looked around the infirmary, and then he saw Teal'c.
"Teal'c, you look different, younger!"
"As do you!" Then the Dr. Bright man walked in with General Hammond behind her.
"Colonel. how are you feeling?"
"Oh just peachy!"
"O'Neill can't remember anything from our last mission," Teal'c said.
"What mission, Teal'c?"
"The last one where we went back in time so O'Neill and Major Carter could get married."
"Oh, that mission."
"Ok, if you two gentlemen would please step outside, I would like to check on the Colonel. You can come back in about an hour."
Both men left the room and General Hammond went to tell Jacob that Jack was awake. Teal'c went to let Daniel know that Jack was awake. The doctor was removing the wires from Jack.
"Ok, so you don't remember anything that happened off world?"
"Nope!"
"How is your shoulder?"
"Good, which shoulder, what happened? Teal'c said something about being electrocuted?"
"Yes, one of the wires was loose and was touching one of the metal plates in the control box of the elevator which caused the walls to become electrified. Luckily, the airman that was on duty in the security room saw what happened and he called to have the power turned off in the elevator and fortunately it stopped at this level. Teal'c managed to get the doors open. Both you and Major Carter were flat lined at the same time. Dr. Fraser walked in and took over the situation, we both were able to get a heart beat, but it was weak. General Carter used the healing device on you both, but we didn't know that you both hit your heads against the wall. That is why you can't remember what happened to you."
"Sam, is she alright? Where is she?" As Jack quickly sat up, the doctor pulled back the curtain.
He turned to look at Sam. He was shocked when he saw what Sam looked like. Sam was younger than he could remember, she had long hair and had wires around her. He could hear the heart monitors beeping in the background. Jack slowly got up, the doctor tried to stop him.
"Colonel, what are you doing, you've got to stay in bed!"
"No, I want to be close to her, so either help me or leave me alone!"
" Fine, have it your way!" Then she walked out the door.
Jack got off the bed and slowly walked over to her side of the bed. Jack moved a stray bit of hair away from her face, then bent over to kiss her lips. At the same time, he held on to her hand with tears rolling down his cheeks. Sam opened her eyes, she was shocked when she saw a younger Jack standing in front of her.
"Jack, what happened to you? You look younger!"
"So do you Sam! What was the last thing you remember before waking up?"
"You giving me a kiss goodnight before you went to your quarters. What happened?"
Jack told Sam what he was told about what happened in the elevator. He could see that she was falling asleep, so he gave her another kiss before going back to his bed.
"Stay with me, please?"
"Ok!"
Sam was able to move over so Jack could get on the bed, under the covers. They both snuggled against one another and they both kissed before they closed their eyes. Within a minute they were asleep, not knowing that Jacob was outside watching what was happening between them.
Jacob turned around and started walking toward George's office. When Jacob arrived, he sat down in the chair that was in front of the desk.
"How is Jack doing?" George asked.
"Well as can be expected. Sam woke up not long after Dr. Brightman walked out. She was awake for a few minutes, it seems that she didn't want Jack to leave her alone tonight, they are both sharing the same bed."
"Oh ok, we will talk to them tomorrow morning."
"Ok, have you able to find Brent Ross?"
"Yes, I just got off the phone with a friend of mine in Washington. He is still alive and still at the same address."
"That's good news, then."
Jacob was able to relax for a bit. They were both silent for few minutes when the phone rang.
"Hammond… yes… tomorrow morning…. Washington… ok, thank you Colonel, goodnight!" Then George hung up the phone, and looked at his old friend.
"Jacob, there will be a plane waiting for you on Peterson's tarmac at 0800 in the morning."
"George you shouldn't have done that for me."
"Jacob, you and Selmac have done a lot for Earth and you are still a General of the United States Air Force, even if you are off world. Anyway, you will be the first Tau'ri, Tok'ra to fly the X302," George said, with a grin on his face.
"You're joking, right?" Jacob sat up with a shock on his face.
"Nope, there will be someone with you when you go."
"What is it like? Was it one of Sam's projects?"
"Yep, she spent more time on the project than anyone else, and also both Jack and Sam were the first ones in history to fly the human/ alien plane."
"Wow, that is incredible. I can't believe what my little girl has done in the past few years. Somehow she always surprises me with one thing or another." George chuckled.
"Yeah, she has done a lot for the Air Force, for this country, for earth, even for this galaxy. She has done so much in a short time. Even Jack has been amazed with what she does. That is why he respects her, but he still doesn't like scientists, only Dr. Jackson and Sam. He has respect for them not because they are on his team, but for who they are. I have watched and seen things happen between the four members of the team. They are so close, it would be hard to break them up!"
"I know what you mean, George. After what happened to Daniel last year, when he ascended, the three of them bonded together, they were so close, not just as team members, but as family."
"I know what you mean. Every time we get the Tok'ra IDC, Jack always says to Sam, 'perhaps it's Dad', she always smiles back saying, 'could be.' Then they both go down to the gate room together with grins on their faces, then you come through, or one of the other Tok'ra."
"Well, at least he makes her happy and he cares about her."
"Yes, he does alright. He cares about all of them!"
The next morning, Jacob went to Peterson Air Force base. He was shocked when he saw the X302. Col. Johnson greeted Jacob and he showed him what was in the cockpit. Ten minutes later, they were airborne. Jacob was flying it and he loved it. He couldn't believe that his daughter had helped create it. At least Jacob was happy and having fun. Before they knew it, they were in Washington. When they finally landed at the Air Force base, Jacob used one of the SUV trucks to drive to see his old friend Brent Ross.
Jack woke up feeling warm and he could hear the heart beat monitor in the background. He opened his eyes to see that Sam was still asleep, then he closed them again with a smile on his face. Then he had a flash of memories, he remembered what Janet had told them about how Jack and Sam got married, about Jonas Hanson, Sam's losing the baby, Jolinar, the second chance of having a family, and Sam's reaction to what happened to the Alternate Jack and Sam. Then he opened them again to see Sam looking at him.
"Morning!"
"Morning! How are you feeling this morning?" Jack asked.
"Bit of a headache, but I'm ok. How about you?"
"Ok! Have you had any flash back of your memory?"
"Yes, when we got married, you kissing me, the photos, the cake, the champagne and you and me taking a bubble bath together, feeding one another chocolate hearts. How about you?"
"I remember when we were at some sort of hot springs, there was Teal'c Janet, Charlie, you and me. Janet was telling us about the other Jack and Sam, what happened to them."
"Oh, ok. Hopefully, I'll remember what happened. You know Jack, I didn't realise how hot you are, when you look like this!"
"Thanks, how about you and your long hair. Sam, you will always look beautiful to me and I love you!"
"I love you too, Jack!"
Then they gave one another a kiss. Then there was a cough. They both broke apart so they could turn to see Dr. Brightman standing there looking at them both.
"Morning Colonel, Major. I see that part of your memories are slowly coming back, so how about I check you both out? If everything is fine, I'll let you both go this afternoon, ok?"
"Thanks Doc!" Jack said.
"Ok, Colonel, how about you get up and go freshen up while I check on Major Carter here. Ok?"
"Ok!" Then Jack gave Sam a quick kiss before leaving her bed.
Jack went to have a quick shower and change into some clean hospital scrubs. Twenty minutes later he returned to find Sam's bed empty. He ask the nurse where Sam was. She told him that she was in the women's showers and would be back soon. Jack thanked her, then returned back to his bed.
Five minutes later, Dr. Brightman showed up to run some tests on Jack. When she was finished, she left. Then Sam walked in, went over to where Jack was in his bed, they both smiled at each other, then she gave him another kiss. Jack moved over so she could get in. Once in there, they both snuggled into one another's arms. They were kissing when there was a cough. They broke apart and turned to see General Hammond and Charlie O standing there with the twins in their arms.
"Morning sir, Charlie," Jack said.
"Morning Colonel, Major. How are you both feeling this morning?"
"Ok, sir. Dr. Brightman said that we might be out of here this afternoon. Sir, where is my Dad?"
"He is in Washington. He will be back sometime this afternoon."
"Oh, ok."
"Someone is hungry," Charlie said,
as he passes Henry to Jack. Then General Hammond passed George to Sam, and then airmen showed up with two baby bottles. He passed the bottles to Jack and Sam so they could feed the twins. Then Teal'c showed up with Jon and Jacob. He had both of them in his arms, when they saw him with them, they both smiled.
Teal'c put both of the twins on the bed; they watched their parents feed their brothers. They all talked about what they were going to do with the kids, their homes, and everything. The infirmary phone rang. The nurse, who was on duty that day, answered it and she walked over to let General Hammond know that there was a phone call for him. He walked over to the desk to answer it, they all looked, then he returned back to the group. By that time, Daniel had shown up.
"I've got some bad news. I just got word, those three men that were with Kinsey are billionaires, their lawyers want us to let them go or they will tell the news media about the Stargate program, everything."
"What! They are blackmailing us. Their bosses are interested in these kids. There's got to be some way we can turn this around, sir?" Jack said, as he was now burping his son.
"I know that Colonel. I'll talk to the President and the Joint Chiefs on this matter. Just leave it to me, ok?"
"Yes sir!"
Then General Hammond left. Jack was watching Sam, he knew that she was thinking by the way she looked, then she got a smile on her face and she turned to look at Jack.
"You've got a idea, haven't ya?"
"Yes, how did you know I was thinking, Jack?" Jack rolled his eyes, shaking his head.
"Sam, I've known you for a long time. I know the look, and when you smile like you just did, that means you've got an idea or a plan, so let's hear it!"
"Well, remember the foothold situation we had here few years ago?" Sam said.
"Yes. What about it?"
"Well, if I can make a copy of those devices and get a copy of those men's DNA, we could use that to our advantage."
"I see where you are going now Sam, but we don't know who they are," Daniel said.
"Ask General Hammond, and find out all you can about them, will ya? Then we can work it from there."
"Ok!" Daniel left to go and talk to General Hammond.
"Have you guys already had breakfast?" Jack asked. They all shook their heads no.
"Ok, how about you guys go and get something to eat ok?"
"O'Neill, Major Carter, would you like for me to get you some breakfast?" Teal'c asked, as he picked up Jacob, while Charlie picked up Jon.
"Yes, thanks Teal'c. Surprise us, will ya?" Jack said.
Teal'c did a slight bow before he left with Jacob in his arms. Charlie followed him. Jack leaned back on the bed with Henry lying against his right side. Sam leaned against Jack with George lying on her chest. Jack got his arm around Sam's shoulder as she leaned against him. They both closed their eyes.
