Sam's POV

It has been two weeks since we returned back from the Furlings. After that trip, I was cleared for light gate travel. I wish someone could explain what light gate travel was, but I dared not to ask. They may just pull me off gate travel all together again. Three days after our return, we went on a mission to P43567. There we just did soil samples and found Naquida deposits.

Now we are on downtime and I am home in bed with a headache. I took 4 aspirin at 4 p.m. and called it a night. I left the chain off the door so Jack could get in. He is supposed to be at his house getting a few things. Isn't it funny that we have been together so long and been thought so much together and we have still not moved in together.

I hear Jack call for me but I am unable to answer. I am having a horrible case of acid reflux. I read that this may happen, but I never experienced it until now. I cough a bit then notice that there is blood on my pillow. I panic and get out of bed with my pillow to show Jack. My throat hurts so much that I am unable to talk. Jack and I collided at the door to my bedroom.

Jack looked at me then noticed the blood on my pillow. "Sam?" I could hear the worry in his voice. I cough again and I put my pillow over my mouth on instinct. It just collected more blood.

Jack did not say another word. He scooped me up in his arms and took me to the car where he sped off. With the Cell phone he called the Doc and Janet. We arrived into the emergency room at the Airforce Hospital and I was immediately whisked away from Jack and taken back to a trauma room.

Jack's POV

This is it. I keep telling myself. This is the turning point. I hold the blood soaked pillow in my hands and begin to cry. I feel arms around me. I turn my head to see Janet.

"Hey Jack." He stoked my hair and I just cry things out. I am losing Sam. I know just know it. "Shhh, shhh." Janet comforts me. "Want to tell me what happened?"

"Oh, God, Janet. I got to Sam's apartment. When she would not answer me, I went to her bedroom. It was then, that I saw her cough up blood onto the pillow. Please Janet, don't let us lose Sam." I wanted to plea for Sam's life, now more than ever.

"Ok Jack, Let me go see what is going on with Sam." Janet slipped away from me but she was quickly replaces my Daniel who began to hold me. I do not care how much of a Macho Colonel I am, I just needed someone to let me cry and not cry alone.

Janet's POV

I walk into the Emergency room where Sam is at and I see the Doc putting an aspiration tube in her. I rush to her side to help. "She is aspirating on her blood."

"I was outside talking to Jack. He said that she was in bed and coughing up blood when he got there." I then turned to Sam who seemed to be fighting the tube. "Don't fight it, Sam."

It was about five minutes later when there was no blood in the tube and it was taken out. "Well, Major, it looks as if we are going to be pulling you off you Chemotherapy treatments. If my theories are correct, you will not need them anymore. I also want to run a scope down your throat. I believe your blood may have come from a bleeding ulcer."

"And I took 4 un-coated aspirin before this." Sam said.

"Sam why would you do that. You were given very specific instructions on NO Aspirin. Not to mention 4 of them," I scolded her.

"I am sorry, I had a migraine and I did not have anything else." Sam said, like a child getting in trouble.

"Look, Major, I am going to go ahead and send you home. Take some Milk Of Magnesia for the Ulcer, and I want to see you in my office in two weeks. Come early and plan to spend the day because there are many tests to run."

"Thanks, Doc." Sam said and then turned to me. The look in her eyes asked me what I was about to offer.

"I think I will go out and talk with Jack while you get dressed Sam." I smiled at my friend. As a doctor I realize that this was the end of a very difficult and bumpy road.

I once again make the trip down the long hallway. I wait at the door and just watch. I am amazed on how Jack is openly emotional even with Daniel. I guess it is trued that there is a certain woman that can turn a man into jelly.

I walk over quietly. Jack sees me, "Janet?" He questions.

"Jack, She is getting dressed now. She is going home. Turns out she has a bleeding ulcer. It is a side effect of the chemotherapy. She is being taken off of all treatments. All aspirin is to be thrown away. From now on she is to take Alieve and She needs to see the Doc in 2 weeks." I said with a reassuring smile. Jack however does not see that.

"Are you sure?" He asks me. "Now she has an ulcer. What else can go wrong."

"Jack the body has a way of telling you when it is ok to stop medicating. This ulcer is her body's way of taking her off the Chemotherapy. I think this is just the thing we have all be waiting for." I said.

"For her to be bleeding from her stomach?" We all turned our head to look at Teal'c, the one that made the comment.

"Actually, Teal'c, for Sam to be in remission." Daniel said.

"Right." I countered. "But I am afraid that there are still tests that have to be done until she is announced in remission."

Sam then came walking out of the ER. They knew her well enough by now to know that she is going to be walk out. So they just let her.

Jack's POV

What a vision! The most beautiful thing just walked out into my arms. I hold her close and there is something different. It has to be the happiness. WE both know deep down that something good is happening here.

"I do not know about you all but I am ready to go home and go to bed." Sam smiles and turns to the rest of the group.

Daniel, Janet and Teal'c nodded in agreement.

In the car home, Sam popped up and decided that she could not go home, "Jack, we need to go to the mall." Now the last thing I thought she could possible think of was shopping right now. But I give.

"Why?" I ask. This I got to hear.

"I need new pillows." Sam said. I start to laugh. "What?"

"We will go tomorrow." I say. I know where this is going.

"What am I going to do tonight?" Sam asks.

"Well I guess you could stay with me at my house. I have pillows." Ok, she got me. I know that is exactly what she wanted to do all along.

Sam's POV

Jack bought it. I just love him for that.

Jack's POV

The next two weeks were eventful. SG1 was given downtime. Sam and I lived it up, more Sam than myself. We rented the ice skating rink for the day and I taught her the basics of hockey. For once I found it amusing that she held the look of confusion on her face. We then took off for Las Vegas for a few days. We decided to stay at the Hilton and to the Star Trek Experience. At least there was nothing to do with ancient cultures. We spent at least half of the time walking in and out of the all night wedding chapels. In the end, we both agreed that we wanted a wedding. A wedding to celebrate that we are going to share the rest of eternity together.

When the day came for Sam to see the doctor again, it was almost as if she was on her way to be executed. She clung tighter to me then anyone has ever clung to me before. The day of tests, though it was painful for her, was not the hardest part of this visit. It was the waiting.

Back at my house, we waited for the phone call. Daniel, Teal'c and Janet were over. We waited together as a group, a team, no a family. We were all together from the beginning. We are going to be together till the end. An end I might add will be many, many decades from now.

We were in the middle of our 4th hand of poker when the phone rang. Everyone got silent and Sam looked petrified. I slowly got up and answered the phone.

"Hello?" I answer. "Yes, Major Carter is here." I look over at Sam and notice that she does not want me to hand her the phone. "Actually, she is not ready to hear what the results are. Could I tell her?" I say. Good thing that the office noted that I had legal medical privileges on Sam. It was one thing we decided on, well again she decided. "I see. Ok. I will tell her."

I hang up the phone and walk over to her. I get on my knees in front of her and hold her close. I say no words. I am very stolic. Everyone else in the room seems to be holding their breath. I then speak, "Sam, my precious, beautiful Sam." I stop and brush the tears from her face, "Doctor says that you only have another 60 to 70 years left."

Sam looks at me for a moment, then laughs and pushes me away, the she, like a mad woman, pounces on me. "Now that was mean. I think you should pay for that." Sam says and we begin to wrestle. Everyone begins laughing.

The best part of it all, Sam won this war.

The End.
