Slowly Jack opened his eyes – his head was thumping but his eyes could focus on the scene around him. Dr. Davis smiled from his bedside, "He's awake." She called to the nurse.
"Welcome back Colonel." She smiled, "We thought we'd lost you again."
"What?" He asked blinking.
"You blanked out just after you were revived, your body went into shock, it couldn't cope with the outside world after being in there for two years." She indicated to the Ancient's machine.
"What...?" He started.
"I realise this is a lot for you to take in, two years seems a long time but don't worry you're going to be fine." Moving towards the door she added, "If you're feeling up to visitors then I think I may have one for you"
"What's going on?" He asked, "How long have I been out of that thing?"
"About 5 hours." She told him gently, "If you're not feeling up to it I can..."
"No – no." He hurried, five hours? But he'd been out for days, he's recovered, seen Carter and...and...the painful memories surfaced.
"Jack." Her voice interrupted his thoughts and he looked up to see her pushing her way past the guards towards him.
Immediately she was by his side, her hand straight to his face while the other locked into his hand.
"Sam..." He stuttered. "What are you doing here?"
"What do you think I'm doing here?" Her voice choked as she spoke and tears were pouring down her face. She stared at him with that look of longing - that look that he hadn't seen in so long. She ran her hand across his hair, "Where else would I be?"
"I...I don't know." He said as things began to come into focus. "I just thought...that you wouldn't still be here after two years."
She smiled tearfully and shook her head, "Of course I am." She moved her head closer to his, "Where else would I be?" She asked softly struggling through the tears.
"Pete..." He managed, tears coming to his own eyes as he watched her anguish.
Sam shook her head, as if in disbelief, "Jack, that was a long time ago."
"Not for me." He reminded her.
"I couldn't go on with that, not when you were like this, you were all I could think about, I spent all my time trying to get you back. Losing you suddenly made it so blatantly obvious that it was you I should have been with. Even when I realised it was hopeless I still thought that."
"Hopeless?" He asked, bringing his hand up to her face.
"We tried everything to get you out, I'd all but given up hope." Leaning even closer to him she whispered, "But I didn't, I knew I'd get you back." Swallowing she stared into his eyes, "I love you." The words poured out of her, words that had been waiting so long to be said, and now could finally breathe. "I know you've been through a lot, and this is probably the last thing on your mind, but I've thought of nothing else for two years. I missed so many chances to tell you."
He stared at her in silence, words wouldn't come, he could barely breathe, but after a moment he finally managed, "You waited...you waited two years for me – I thought it was too long."
Her eyes ran with more tears, "Too long?" She smiled, "Never...you're too important to me..." She made as if to carry on talking but he'd lifted his head and met her lips, softly kissing her, tears running down his own face. She'd waited.
