Sam’s POV
She’d grown up so much since she came home. She’d been
home for almost two years and she was finally loosening up. She was now 4’3”
and weighed 60lbs. She’d started her period about three months ago and that
scared the hell out of her. But, Janet and I sat down and told her what it
meant. Not too long after that, we’d gone shopping for her first bra. Let me
tell you. I don’t know who was more embarrassed – Jack or Jessie. That was
funny. We had some interesting pictures from that day. I don’t think I’ve ever
seen Jack that red before.I really hated asking
Jessie about Landon. But, we needed to know what he was to her. I knew she’d
known him and his brothers in the orphanage and in the first home. I knew he’d
protected her. But, I didn’t know how
he’d protected her. Now we knew how.Jack and I showered and
crawled into bed. “What’re you thinking?” he asked, pulling me into his arms.I chuckled. “More like
praying.”“Ah…for
what?”“That Jessie won’t dream
tonight,” I said with a sigh. He was doing some interesting things to my neck
with his teeth and tongue.“Yeah.
Do you know how much I really want to kill that little Assgard?”
he said, stopping his ministrations on my neck. “The one who
took her from us in the beginning?”“Yeah.
Me too,” I said softly.“Honey, the only thing
we can do is let her know how much we love her and that we’re going to be here
for her…no matter what happens,” he said, loosening his grip and allowing me to
turn over and face him.“I know…I know,” I said
leaning in to him and placing my head on his chest.“You know what?”
“What?”
“I just realized
something,” he said, surprise evident in his voice.“What?”
“Charlie never called me
‘daddy’. He always called me ‘dad’ or ‘dada’, when he was smaller. When Jessie
calls me ‘daddy’, it melts my heart in ways I can’t explain.”“I know, Jack,” I said,
stroking his cheek. “And you say you’re not good with words.” I leaned up and
kissed him gently.What started out as a
soft kiss – a goodnight kiss – quickly escalated out of control.
We made love until, exhausted, we collapsed in each others’ arms. We slept for
a few hours – perfect, uninterrupted sleep. Then around 0300, Jessie’s cries
woke us.Quickly dressing, we ran
into her room. She’d screamed herself hoarse and was in the fetal position on
the floor beside her bed. She was shaking so bad that it seemed she would shake
herself apart.She wasn’t making any
more sounds and seemed to be in shock. We couldn’t wake her up. Jack picked her
up and laid her on her bed. She was soaked with sweat and tears. Jack turned
his back as I put her in some dry clothes.“Jessie…baby, open your
eyes,” I said, stroking her sweat-dampened hair out of her eyes. “Wake up,
Jessie. It’s just a dream.”She continued to shake,
but nothing would wake her up.“Come on, Sunshine. Open
your eyes,” said Jack. “Shit! She’s burning up! Sam, call Janet. Something’s
wrong.”I reached for the phone
by Jessie’s bed and dialed Janet’s number.“Fraiser residence,”
said an extremely sleepy Daniel.“Daniel?”
“Uh…Sam?”
“Yeah.”
“Umm…I can explain,” he
stammered.“Look, let me talk to
Janet,” I said hurriedly. Jessie’s shaking was getting worse and she still
hadn’t opened her eyes.I heard him say, “It’s
Sam.”
I heard her say, “We
are sooo busted.”“Sam?”
“Janet, something’s
wrong with Jessie. She’s hot to the touch. She woke us up screaming and we
can’t wake her up and now she’s having convulsions.”“I’ll be right there.”
“She’s on her way,” I
said hanging up the phone.“Good,” said Jack.
Jessie was still shaking
very badly. She was locked in a nightmare and couldn’t find her way out. Jack
went to get a cold washrag because she was still burning up.“No, no, no, no, no,
no,” she kept repeating over and over again. I shook her gently, but she still
didn’t wake up. I shook her a little harder and got the same results.“Here,” said Jack,
handing me the washrag.I took it from him and
dabbed at her forehead with it. “Please baby. Please wake up,” I begged her.Whatever she was
dreaming about had her fully locked inside her own mind. I could tell from the
look on her face that she was deathly afraid of something.Daniel and Janet arrived
minutes later, using the key that Daniel had. We were still sitting on Jessie’s
bed, both of us holding her hands, trying to keep her from shaking herself
apart.“What happened?” asked
Daniel.“I don’t know,” said
Jack. “She woke us up screaming and we can’t wake her up.”“Why can’t we wake her
up?” I said, choking on a sob.Jack pulled me into his
arms as Janet worked on our daughter. Minutes passed without a sound other than
Jessie’s cries. Finally, Janet looked up.“Janet?” I asked,
fearing the worse.She shook her head. “I
don’t know, Sam. I can’t find any physical
reason for the convulsions or the fever. We need to get her to the infirmary
and possibly contact the Asgard or the Tok’ra.”Jack picked her limp
body up and ran downstairs. I grabbed his keys, wallet, and my purse before
running out after them. Daniel was driving and Jack, Jessie, and I were in the
back. Her body was burning up and she was still whimpering.Her breathing was
becoming labored. “Daniel, speed up. Something’s wrong. We’ve got to get there
now!” said Jack.I felt the truck
accelerate suddenly. Within minutes, we were at the SGC main entrance. The airman on guard realized something was wrong and actually let us go
in without signing in.We got to the infirmary
and Jessie’s fever was getting worse. Jack laid her on the bed as General Hammond
walked in.“What’s going on,
Colonel?”“Jessie’s sick, sir.”
“She woke us up
screaming and we’ve been unable to wake her. She’s terrified of something and
we don’t know how to help her,” I said, frightened.“Dr. Fraiser?”
“Sir, I suggest we
contact the Tok’ra. Maybe they know how to reach Jessie,” she said.“Understood,” he said
quickly leaving the room.Janet hooked up her to
several machines, one of which was monitoring her heart rate.“We’ve got to get her
temperature under control,” said Janet. “Prepare an ice bath.”A couple of nurses did
that and we sat Jessie inside. Her body temperature was close to 106°. If it
stayed that high much longer, it would literally fry her brain. That was
probably why we couldn’t reach her mind.We finally got her
temperature down to 104°, but it wouldn’t go any lower. I don’t know how long
we were in there, but General Hammond came looking for us.“Jack…Sam.”
“Sir?” said Jack.
“We contacted the
Tok’ra. Jacob’s on his way. There’s been no answer to our calls to the Asgard.”“Thank you, sir,” I
said.I couldn’t move.
Although her body temperature was lower, she was still extremely sick. It had
something to do with her dreaming…her nightmares. It was almost as if she was
being attacked in her dreams.We got her out of the
ice bath and dressed her in shorts and a tank top and laid her back on the bed.
Suddenly, she arched her back trying to get away from the bed.“NOOOOOO!!!” she
screamed. Jack and I tried to hold her down, to no avail.That’s when I realized
what she was dreaming about. The beatings, the rapes…everything that had ever
happened to her was returning in her dreams.“Jack?”
“She’s dreaming about
what happened to her, isn’t she?”“I think so,” I said.
“Shit,” said Jack as she
collapsed to the bed and stopped breathing.“Janet!” I screamed as
the heart monitor flatlined.She ran back in and
pushed us out of the way, beginning CPR immediately. Long, agonizing minutes
later, Jessie began to breathe again, but she’d been hooked up to a breathing
machine. Our daughter was on life-support.Jack’s POV
Three days. Three freaking
days Jessie’s been on life-support and there doesn’t seem to be any chance of
her coming out of it. The Tok’ra are on their way, but
by the time they get here, it may be too late.General Hammond
contacted the school and told them Jessie had a severe case of the flu and was
in the hospital at the base. Her friend Landon called the house and Cassie told
him she was sick. He wanted to come see her, but we didn’t know him and General
Hammond wouldn’t authorize it. In a way I was glad. I didn’t want anyone but me
and Sam with her.** Incoming traveler. **
Those two words and my heart
stopped. Hopefully, it was the Tok’ra…preferably Jacob Carter. I looked at Sam.
I knew she looked like me. Her eyes were red-rimmed from all the tears we’ve
both cried for the last three days. Neither one of us had slept for more than a
few hours each night. We were exhausted, both physically and mentally. We slept
more last night only because Janet had been ordered by General Hammond to slip
something in our dinner.“I’ll go,” I said.
“Ok,” she said softly. I
reached over and stroked my wife’s cheek before kissing her gently.“She’ll be ok,” I said.
“She’s got to be ok.”Tears welled up in her
blue eyes, but she held them back. “I know,” she said shakily.I kissed her again and
left for the gateroom at a run. Entering the control room, I saw General
Hammond, Daniel, and Teal’c already there. The wormhole activated.“Close the iris,”
ordered General Hammond.Walter closed the iris.
Several seconds later he said, “Receiving Tok’ra IDC, sir.”“Open the iris.”
We all went to the
gateroom just as Jacob stepped through the event horizon…along with Martouf and
Anise. Shit. I could’ve gone the rest of my life without seeing those two
again.“Jack, what’s going on?”
asked Jacob.“What in the hell are they doing here, Jacob?” I asked.
“The council wanted them
here,” said Jacob. “I had no choice. Otherwise, they wouldn’t let me come.” I
could tell he was pissed about this. It made me feel a little better…not a lot.“Now, what’s going on?”
“It’s Jessie. She’s…,” I
said. I was interrupted by…** Colonel O’Neill to the infirmary. I repeat, Colonel
O’Neill to the infirmary. **I took off at a run, not
waiting to see if Jacob was following. Running through the hall, I saw Sam
slumped against the wall, sobbing uncontrollably.“Sam! What happened?”
“She’s dying, Jack,” she
said with a sob. I slid down the wall and took her into my arms. Jacob and the
others found us there a few minutes later.“What’s going on?” asked
Jacob as they ran up.I couldn’t say anything
and neither could Sam. I just shook my head and buried my face in her hair, my
tears falling silently. Janet appeared with tears in her eyes.“Doc?”
I croaked out.She took a deep breath.
“I managed to stabilize her, sir. But…”“She’s dying,” said Sam
sobbing.“I don’t know what else
to do,” said Janet as Daniel pulled her into his arms.“Dad, you have to do
something,” I said. “We can’t lose her.”He pushed his way into
the infirmary. We managed to get on our feet and stumble our way into the
infirmary. Jessie was so pale. The only thing that was keeping her body alive were the machines.“Martouf, give me the healing
device,” demanded Jacob.“Jacob, you cannot…”
“Give me the damned healing
device!”“No. The council did not approve of this,” said Anise.
“I don’t care! This is my granddaughter! I’m not gonna let her die when I can help
her!”“Jacob…be calm,” said Martouf.
“Give me the God damned healing
device!”“No.”
I lost it. I let go of
Sam and pulled my nine-mil. I grabbed Martouf from behind and pressed the
barrel of the gun to his head. “Give him the fucking device or I’ll kill you
where you stand!”“Colonel O’Neill…” began
Anise. “The Tok’ra high council has forbidden Jacob to heal her like this. They
believe this is something that she needs to do herself. I happen to agree with
their decision.”Jessie stopped breathing
and flatlined again. Anise reached out to Jacob who stepped away from her.“You bitch!” exclaimed
Sam. She drew back her arm and punched Anise in the face, rendering her
unconscious.I reached into Martouf’s
jacket and took out the healing device. I tossed it to Jacob. “Do it,” I said.Jacob began to maneuver
the healing device over Jessie’s body. Several minutes later, Jessie began to
breathe again and she opened her eyes, looking at me with fear.I released Martouf and
stepped towards Jessie’s bed. “Jessie?” I whispered.She tried to speak, but
the breathing tube was preventing it. “Don’t try to speak, Jessie. Let Janet
remove the tube first,” said Sam, tears still streaming down her face as were
mine.She nodded slightly and
let Janet remove the breathing tube. She coughed roughly, blood staining her
lips. “Janet?”“It’s normal, guys,” she
said, wiping the blood from Jessie’s lips. “This thing’s been her lungs for the
last three days. She has to start breathing on her own.”Once Janet was out of
the way, both Sam and I took Jessie’s hands in our own. “Mama,” she said
weakly, hoarsely.“What’s the last thing
you remember, Jessica?” asked Martouf.“Get the hell out!” I
said, trying to get to him. I was going to beat the shit out of him.“Dad!” coughed Jessie.
That was enough for me to stop trying to get to him.“I’m here, Sunshine.”
“Why are they here?” she
gasped out.“I don’t know,” said
Sam. “Just ignore them.”She nodded
slightly…weakly. “How’re you feeling, honey?” asked Sam.“Thirsty,” she said
softly.I reached for a glass of
ice water and Sam helped her sit up. “Jacob hand me that straw.”Jessie sipped the water
slowly before collapsing against Sam. “What happened to me?”“Jessica…” began a
now-conscious Anise.“General Hammond?”
“Please come with me,”
said General Hammond, motioning for Martouf and Anise, to follow him.“General Hammond…” began
Anise.“Now!” he growled.
Once they had left the
room, Jessie lay against Sam, her eyes heavy with sleep. “What’s the last thing
you remember Sunshine?” I asked.“Falling asleep at
home,” she said. “Then…” her eyes widened.“Then
what?”“I dreamed,” she said,
beginning to tremble.“Dreamed of what,
honey?” asked Sam, pushing Jessie’s hair out of her eyes.“Him,” she said with tears beginning to fall from her blue eyes.
She started to sob and
Sam wrapped her arms around Jessie’s small body, rocking her slowly. “Shh…baby.
You’re safe.”“It…it…it was so real,” she cried out.
“I know baby. But, it
was just a dream,” I said.“Jessie, your powers are
becoming stronger,” said Jacob. “I guess this is why the Tok’ra did not want me
to try to heal her.”“Why couldn’t we wake
her up?” I asked.He shook his head. “I’m
not sure, Jack.”With Sam slowly rocking
her, Jessie’s eyes started to close but she jerked herself awake. “It’s ok,
baby. We’re here. Go to sleep,” I said.She shook her head
weakly. “No!” she said, trembling violently.“It’s ok, honey,” said
Sam.“No! It’ll happen
again!” she said as she started to cry again. “I know it will!”Sam rubbed the back of
her head and kissed her forehead. “Shh…mama’s here. I’m not gonna let anything
happen to you.”“I…I’m scared, mama,”
cried Jessie, burying her head in Sam’s shoulder and holding on to Sam’s shirt
for dear life.Sam continued to rock as
she said, “I know, baby. I know.”She looked so
helpless…they both did…mother and daughter. I didn’t know what to do. I
couldn’t help either one of them. I didn’t know how to help them.I did the only thing I
could think of. I wrapped my arms around them and held them both. I could feel
Jessie trembling uncontrollably. It was like being on a vibrating bed.“Janet, can we take her
home?” asked Sam.“I’m not sure you should
move her just yet.”“Please Aunt Janet. I
just wanna go home,” begged Jessie, trying to move away from Sam’s arms, but
she was still so weak she couldn’t sit up on her own.Janet shook her head.
“Jessie…you’ve been unconscious for three
days. You’re so weak you can’t even sit up straight.”Jessie stiffened with
embarrassment. She was like both me and Sam in that aspect. We both hated being
weak and it was worse to remind us. She buried her head in Sam’s shoulder.“Janet…please. Let us take her home. If something happens, we’ll
bring her back…I promise,” I said.“Alright.
But, at the first sign of distress, I want her back here ASAP,” said Janet,
giving in.“Dad,
you coming?”“I’ll be there in a
little bit. I’ve got to change clothes and I have something to take care of.”
We all knew he was talking about Martouf and Anise.I stood and took Jessie
from Sam, carrying her out of the room. She laid her head on my shoulder and, by
the time we reached General Hammond’s office, she was asleep.Sam knocked on the door
and we heard, “Come,” from the inside.Opening the door, we saw
that Anise and Martouf were still here. “Jack, is she
ok?” asked General Hammond. Everyone present could hear the worry in his voice.“She’s just sleeping,
sir. Janet said we could take her home.”“Colonel O’Neill…” began
Martouf.“Don’t even talk to us,”
I said vehemently. “Because of the two of you, my daughter almost died.”“Samantha…”
“Don’t Martouf…just
don’t,” said Sam, reaching over and stroking Jessie’s long blonde hair.Freya
spoke up. “Colonel O’Neill, Major Carter. We apologize for any inconvenience we
may have caused.”“Inconvenience?
You call letting my daughter almost die an ‘inconvenience’? Go to hell,” I said
angrily. “And when you address my wife, you should call her ‘Major O’Neill’,” I
added just to see the looks on their faces. Priceless…definitely
priceless.Jessie whimpered and
shivered in fright. Even in her unconscious state, she could feel the animosity
emanating from both Martouf and Anise. “Shh…baby. I’m here,” I whispered,
holding her tighter.“Your
‘what’?” asked Anise with shock and jealousy very evident in her voice.“His wife,” said Sam.
“Now, if you don’t mind, we’ve got to get our
daughter home.”She tucked her arm
through mine and together we left the mountain. We knew they’d follow but at
the moment, we really didn’t care. All we cared about was getting Jessie home
where she belonged.Sam drove as I held
Jessie. We knew it was against the law, but like I said, we really didn’t care.
I dreaded the conflict that would come when they showed up…and they would show
up. Unfortunately, it was inevitable.Sam’s POV
I couldn’t believe
Martouf and Anise were willing to let Jessie die just because the Tok’ra high
council refused to let dad heal her. I don’t know what their problems were, but
I knew they were going to show up at home…and there would be a fight. I just
hoped I could keep Jack out of jail and keep him from killing them.Once we got home, Jack
laid Jessie in her bed. She automatically rolled over on her stomach with her
head facing me. She whimpered in her sleep and Jack began to rub her back
softly. It stopped her whimpering. Her phone rang and I picked it up on the
first ring so it wouldn’t wake her up.“Hello?”
“Mrs. O’Neill? It’s Landon.
I was just calling to see if Jessie’s ok.”I could hear the worry
in his voice and couldn’t help but smile. “She’s home now, but she’s still not
feeling well.” Jack gave me a strange look. I covered the mouth piece and
whispered, “It’s Landon.”Jack just smiled and
continued to rub Jessie’s back. “Is she gonna be ok?” asked Landon.“We think so,” I said.
“Her doctor said she needs to stay home and rest a few more days, but she’ll be
fine.”“Can I see her? Please?
I just found her again. I…I don’t think I could stand to lose her again,” he
said softly, his voice thick with tears.“She’s sleeping right
now. But, let me talk to my husband and we’ll see,” I said. “Give me your phone
number and after I talk with Jack, I’ll give you a call.”He did and then said
something I’ll never forget. “Tell her I love her,” he said softly. “Bye Mrs.
O’Neill.”“Bye Landon,” I said. I
smiled when I hung up the phone.“What?” asked Jack.
“He said to tell her
that he loves her,” I said with a grin.“She’s only twelve!”
said Jack loudly, causing Jessie to whimper again. “Sorry, honey,” he
whispered, rubbing her back again.We laid
down beside her and fell asleep. For the first time in three days, we slept
peacefully. A few hours later, we were awakened by a car pulling into the
driveway. We made sure Jessie was comfortable before going downstairs to see
who’d shown up. Shit. It was my dad,
but it was also Martouf and Anise.“Dad, what in the hell
are they doing here?” I asked
angrily. I didn’t want them anywhere near my daughter, much less in my home.“They need to speak with
Jessie,” said dad.“Why?” asked Jack, not
letting them in the house.“It’s something that the
Tok’ra high council needs Jessie to do,” said Anise.I looked at dad. “Don’t
look at me like that Sam. I’m out of the loop on this one.”“Until we know what’s
going on, you’re going nowhere near my
daughter,” said Jack.“Dad?”
We turned and saw Jessie
trying to make her way down the stairs. She was gripping the railing and could
barely stand. We quickly made our way to her, just as she collapsed. Jack picked
her up and cuddled her against his chest before sitting down on the couch.“You should’ve stayed in
bed, Sunshine,” he said.“I was alone,” she said
with a shiver. “I don’t wanna be alone.” I reached over and felt her forehead.“You’ve got fever,” I
said. I pulled the blanket from the back of the couch and handed it to Jack. I
went to the kitchen and got her some medicine and water. When I returned, I
handed her some Tylenol and a glass
of water. I helped her sit up while he held the water for her.“Better baby?”
“Mmm hmm,” she said
sleepily. Then she noticed we had visitors and tensed in Jack’s arms.“Easy baby,” he said.
“You’re safe.As she looked at Martouf
and Anise, her eyes widened and she tensed even more.(They’re not Tok’ra anymore.)
(What?)
(They’re
not Tok’ra. They’re working for the Goa’uld)(How
do you know?)(They
feel different dad. They’re not Lantesh and Anise anymore)(Oh
shit)“Dad, we need to talk to you
alone,” said Jack.“Colonel O’Neill, we
must question Jessie before we leave,” said Martouf.“Not until we talk to my
dad,” I said. “Please wait outside.”They both gave Jessie
strange looks and reluctantly left the house. “What’s going on Sam?” asked dad.“They’re working for the
Goa’uld, Grandpa,” said Jessie. “They’re not Tok’ra anymore.”“What’re you saying
Jessie?”She started to get
agitated. “Grandpa…I know the difference between Tok’ra and Goa’uld. I can feel the difference.” She tried to sit
up and had to bite her lip to hold the tears in when she couldn’t. “Please
Grandpa. You have to believe me. They’re working for the Goa’uld now…not the
Tok’ra.”She started to sob as
Jack began to rock her slowly. Dad took a deep breath. “How do you know this?”
asked Selmak.“I read their thoughts
when I woke up. The reason they didn’t want me to live was they knew my
p-p-powers are g-growing. They knew that it was possible for me to be able to
read the symbiote’s mind. They’re both working for
Ba’al. He thought this would be her chance to take out the Tok’ra,” said
Jessie, sobbing and shuddering through the words.“Easy. What’re we gonna
do?” asked Jack, clutching Jessie tighter.“Jessie, are you strong
enough to use your powers?” asked dad.“Dad?”
“I need her to knock
them out so we can get them back to the SGC.”“But…”
“Jessie, are you strong
enough to use your powers?” he asked again.“I think so,” she said
softly.“Ok. When I call them
in, I want you to knock both of them out. Then the four of us will take them
back to the SGC.”Jessie was terrified. I
could see that in her eyes. But, she was strong…maybe not physically right
then, but mentally, she was strong. Whatever she thought she had to do, she
would find a way.“Dad?”
“Yeah baby?”
“I’m scared,” she said
softly.“I know, baby. So am I.
But, I promise you’re gonna be fine. I’ll kill both of those bastards before I
let them touch you.”He kissed her forehead
and I did the same. He moved so he could sit her on the couch. She slumped over
so we propped her up against the pillows. We moved behind her just so we could
be close to her. I hated having to put her through this.Jack nodded at dad.
“We’re ready,” he said. I noticed that he’d pulled his nine-mil and got it
ready just in case.We both gripped Jessie’s
shoulders, just for the contact and to reassure her that we were there and that
we weren’t going to let anyone hurt her. Dad went to get the two traitors.When they walked in,
they both immediately sensed something was wrong, but they didn’t know what. I
guess they just thought Jessie was still weak from her ordeal.I felt the change in
Jessie. She’d put herself in that place where nothing could touch her. Both
Jack and I knew that either she did that or she would lose her sanity.We both removed our
hands as we felt the power growing within her weak body.“Jessica, are you ready
to be questioned?”“No,” she said.
“We must insist,” said Martouf.
“Why? So you can turn me
over to the system lords?”“Why would we do that?”
asked Anise.“Because
you are no longer Tok’ra. You are both
working for the Goa’uld.”“Jessica, you know this
is not true.”“Bullshit! I sense it in
your mind! I read the mind of your symbiotes! You’re working for Ba’al!”They both pulled some
kind of weapons. Jessie’s power grew until it coalesced into the bright blue
glowing orb. She automatically sent up a shield that covered me, Jack, and dad.“Then you know the three
of you must die,” said Martouf.“I don’t think so,” said
Jessie, gasping for breath. I could tell she was weakening.(Do it now, Jessie)
She let the orb fly and it grew to
encompass both of them. As soon as they were unconscious, she collapsed.“Jessie!”
“I’m sorry, mama,” she
said weakly, closing her eyes and ceasing to breathe. Jack immediately started
CPR. We got all three of them into the truck and took off at a high speed
towards the mountain. I don’t think I’ve ever driven that fast. Jessie stopped
breathing three times and all three times, Jack breathed for her.We made it to the
infirmary just as she quit breathing a fourth time. “What’re you two doing back
here?” asked Janet, coming out of her office, followed by Daniel. Then she
noticed Jack was performing CPR on Jessie. “What in the hell happened?” she
demanded, pushing Jack out of the way and putting Jessie back on the breathing
machine.“What happened?”
“She unmasked two
Goa’uld spies and rendered them unconscious by using her powers,” said Selmak
pointing to the former Tok’ra sitting on the floor, glaring at us. It took two
guards to bring them in and tie them using plastic cuffs.“Dad, can you use the
healing device again?”“I can try, but I don’t
know…”“Do it!” ordered Jack.
Dad retrieved the
healing device and began working on Jessie, starting with her lungs. He had
Janet remove the breathing tube so when she regained consciousness she wouldn’t
have to go through having it removed again.Dad healed her. “They
must have done something to her when you were at the base.”Jessie moaned and opened
her eyes. “Mama?”“I’m here baby,” I said,
taking her hand and kissing her forehead.“They poisoned me,” she
said weakly.“What?”
“They poisoned me,” she
said before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.“Dad?”
“I need a sample of her
blood,” he said.Janet drew a vial of
blood and handed it to my dad. “Sam, I’m gonna need your help.”“Dad…” I protested, not
wanting to leave Jessie.“It’s ok, baby. Go on.
I’ll be here with her,” said Jack, kissing me softly.I wanted to stay. But, I
knew that we’d get the answers we needed quicker with two working. “If…” I
trailed off on a sob.“I’ll call you if
something happens…I promise,” he whispered, kissing me again. “Go.”Jack’s POV
I watched Sam leave with
Jacob. At the infirmary doors, she turned around and looked back at me and
Jessie with such pain in her eyes, I wanted to take her in my arms and not let
her go.I sat down on Jessie’s
bed and watched her sleep for hours. Janet was keeping her sedated so she
wouldn’t be in any pain. I couldn’t take staring at the two traitors any longer
and had an SF remove them to a holding cell on level sixteen. We were waiting
for the High Councilor to show up and do whatever it was he had to do.I had just dozed off
when Sam and Jacob ran into the infirmary. “We’ve got the cure!” said Sam,
holding up a vial of something.Jessie opened her eyes
weakly. “Mama?”“I’m here, baby. We’ve
got the cure,” said Sam, stroking her cheek as Janet injected her with the
cure. Sam crawled in the bed with her and pulled her into her arms.“Just relax, Jessie.
You’ll feel better in a little while,” said Janet.She nodded and closed
her eyes again, relaxing in her mother’s arms. “Daddy?”“I’m right here,
Jessie.”“Why’m
I so sleepy?”“My guess is it’s the poison,” I said, looking to Sam for
confirmation.“That’s exactly why, Jessie,” said Jacob.
“So the poison is what triggered the dream?” I asked.
“Yes, Jack.”
I actually sighed in relief. I was glad that it wasn’t us
asking about Landon that started all of this. Jessie opened her eyes and looked
at me.“Why did they do this to me?”
“Because they knew you would be able to see through their
façade. They thought that if you were out of the picture, they would be safe,”
said Jacob.She closed her eyes again as her tears began to fall. I
crawled into the bed with them and took them both in my arms. Jessie cried
herself to sleep. Once we were sure she was completely asleep, we asked Janet if
it was alright to take her back home now that the poison had been neutralized.“Are you 100% sure the poison is gone?” she asked Jacob.
“Yes,” said Selmak. “The cure was relatively simple. She
should be completely well in a day or so.”“So, we should be able to take her home right?” asked Sam.
“Yes.”
“Good. That’s where we’ll be if you need us,” I said. For
the second time that day, I picked up my daughter and carried her out of the
mountain.Once we got home, I laid her back in her bed and we sat
there watching her sleep for a long time. Sam grabbed the phone when it rang.“O’Neill residence,” she said. She listened. “No, Landon.
I haven’t had a chance to talk to Jack about it. She had a relapse and we had
to take her back to the infirmary.” She listened some more. “She’s fine now.
Yes, I’ll talk to him tonight and we’ll call you tomorrow. I will…I promise.
Goodnight Landon.”“What was that all about?” I whispered.
“He was worried when I didn’t call him back. He wants to
see her…to make sure she’s ok.”“He really does care about her, doesn’t he?” I asked.
“Yeah…I think he does.”
I looked at my watch. 0200 hrs. Sheesh. “Why don’t we head to bed?” I said softly.
“Why don’t we sleep in here tonight?” said Sam.
I grinned. I’d had the same thought she did. After coming so
close to losing her, we both wanted to be with her. I took her hand and led her
to our room. We changed clothes and crawled into bed with Jessie. I wrapped my
arms around Sam and she had her arms wrapped around Jessie. Who knew what would
happen in the morning. All I knew was those two bastards were going to pay for
what they’d done to my family.- You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
