Eternity 4/?

#Sam#

It hurts everywhere. I can barely take the immense pain. I struggle to open my eyes and the harsh light wounds them.

"Sam?"

Am I dreaming? It sounded like.....

I open my eyes again, and this time I'm successful. The pain is still there but I have to know whether I'm truly back at the SGC, that him rescuing me wasn't some cruel dream. White light enters and then I see him. Jack. Staring down at me, my eyes flicker again, but he's still there. Thank god, I'm free from the hell I was in before.

"Jack" I say, but it comes out more like a whisper.

He seems confused, because.......I called him Jack then again he did call me Sam, and I have been thinking of 'him as Jack' the past.......God knows how long.......not the Colonel. My mind has to separate them, but I guess now its time to face up to the fact he's Sir again.......unless...don't go there...but if he missed me? He is by my bed, that must mean something... doesn't it? Only one way to find out.

"How are you feeling?"

I stare at him, he looks exhausted and far to thin.....oh right his question. How do I feel? "Like hell" I answer truthfully. The pain has actually got worse, not better.

"But least you're back."

"Thank you." For rescuing me, I wanted to add, but couldn't

"Shouldn't I be saying that to you? As I remember you took my bullet."

I took the.....that's true. Hey, I saved him.....hey he owes me...with a kiss but "You found me and brought me....." chest pain. ... "Back."

He moves towards me, so close that..... "Maybe I should let you rest?"

"No" I raise my voice. Ow, there that pain is again.

"If you're sure?"

"Yes."

He's staring at me, he looks awkward. Maybe he wants to say something, that I definitely want to hear?

"Sam, when you were........"

"Sam!" Jonas smiles.

"Good to see you are well Major Carter." Teal'c follows.

"Thanks."

"You had us all worried, but you don't need to worry about Darren, he's in prison." Jonas tries to comfort me.

Oh God Darren, the way he......a shiver goes down my spine.....his face....

"Sam?"

"It's just what he did to me." I tell them.

"Sorry I didn't mean to bring it up" Jonas apologises.

"It's ok."

"Now, I think we better let her get some rest" Janet enters and smiles at me.

But what about Jack? He was going to tell me something, I have to know. "But...."

"Sam, you're weak and still badly injured. I don't think overdoing it, is going to help your recovery."

She's right, as always, and pain is definitely still a major factor.

"Ok."

"See you later." Jack tells me.

"Bye" Jonas says and Teal'c simply nods.

They all leave, so I'm alone again...what about Jack? Will he tell me how he feels or maybe I read the signs wrong, maybe its just friendship? I just want to know....but I guess I have to wait... my eyes...can't keep open.......
