~Part 9~
2 Days Later
While Sam's vitals had continued to get stronger she still had yet to wake up. Hammond still was unable to contact Jacob and the overall feeling of frustration had begun to take hold. Daniel had finally managed to get Jack out of the infirmary but as time went on it seemed like more and more of a bad idea
"Jack you need to get a good night's sleep" he argued as they entered the elevator to go back down to the infirmary
"Daniel I'm fine"
"Jack you haven't slept properly in three days. You've barely eaten and are snapping at everyone who gets within 5 feet of you"
"Like who?"
"Were we in the same hallway a few minutes ago when an airman practically jumped out of his skin when he asked how you were doing and you and I quote told him `to get his ass out of your way as quickly as possible or else'
Jack pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled deeply. Daniel was right. He had been an ass to everyone in sight the past few days and he had to admit he couldn't remember the last time he slept a full night in a bed. But he was afraid to leave Sam's side. He needed to be there when she woke up as much for her as for him.
"I'm sorry. I'm just...."
"She's getting better Jack. Dr. Paulson said the infection in her leg is much better and no longer life threatening."
"How come she hasn't woken up yet?" the pain and frustration were evident in his voice as he banged his head into the wall of the elevator
Daniel couldn't answer his question because he asked the same one to himself and consequently found no answer. He just snapped his jaw shut and looked at the floor
"I can't lose her"
"You're not going to"
"Daniel she is in that infirmary in a coma and no one seems to know when or if she is going to wake up."
"What happens when she does wake up?" He knew this was probably the wrong time to get into this but he knew Jack and if and when Sam woke Jack would more than likely put his stone mask back in place and not tell her how he felt. To his surprise Jack answered without a moment's hesitation or anger
"I'm thinking of resigning"
"What?" Ok so that was not the answer he was looking for but at least he was talking
"I'm getting old and the knees can't take much more abuse"
"That's not the answer I was looking for"
"Daniel I don't even know if she feels the same"
"She does trust me. Jack you should have seen how hard she worked to get you back from Edora. She never slept and barely ate. Janet had to drug her coffee to get her to sleep she was that determined to get you back. A mere friend would work hard but Sam literally put her heart and soul into getting you home. How could you think otherwise?"
"What if I never get the chance to tell her?"
"Janet once told me that patients who are in coma's can hear what goes on around them. So if you tell her she will hear you"
"You miss her don't you?"
"Yeah she was a great friend and I was hoping someday she could've been more. This is exactly why I think you need to tell Sam exactly how you feel while you have the chance."
"That's why I want to resign"
"Tell her first Jack. She would feel like it was her fault you resigned"
The elevators door opened and Jack paused for a moment before stepping out. Not sure what to say he simply nodded to his friend and headed for the infirmary
Infirmary
Jack reached the infirmary and went straight to Sam's bedside. "Hey Carter how doing?" He wasn't the least but surprised when there was no response. She simply looked like she was asleep not in a coma
"I'm losing it here Carter. I want you to be awake when I tell you that I love you but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen anytime soon. So I'll just talk until you tell me to stop" With that said Jack began talking about anything and everything he could think of
~~~
Sam felt like she was floating. She could vaguely make out the familiar male voice through the fog of her mind
//I'm losing it//
//want you awake//
//I love you//
Is he talking to me? Did he just tell me he loves me?
~~~
Jack had been recalling all the times he first felt the stirrings of a change in feelings towards her. He was recalling their time as miners underground when he felt a slight pressure on the hand that was holding hers. He immediately stopped talking and looked at her
"Carter? Come Sam open those baby blues for me"
//did he just call me Sam?//
"Please open your eyes" He knew he was pleading but this was the first movements she had made since losing consciousness in the cell. Suddenly her eye lids began to flutter and she slowly opened her eyes "Sam?"
"Jack?" she whispered back her voice hoarse
Jack smiled for the first time in nearly a week. He squeezed her hand hard and he tried to hold back the tears of joy that threatened to spring from his eyes. "Hey about time you woke up. I was starting to think you were getting soft on me"
"Never" she replied squeezing his hand back
"Look Sam..."
"I heard you. Did you mean it?"
"Every word"
"Good because I love you too"
Jack beamed with pride as leaned down and kissed her passionately. For the first time since Charlie died he truly felt like his life mattered and his heart was full.
