Season 7- Before "Grace"

Dad! The voice in his head screamed.

Come on, Grace! He commanded. Don't stop!

They heard Sam lay down cover fire. They'd already lost Daniel to Apophis's serpent guards.

Do you still have the note? He asked, telepathically.

Of course, Dad. How old do you think I am? She responded.

We don't have time for sarcasm! He replied. I'm going back to help your mom. Whatever happens, keep running until you are able to touch that mirror.

Yes, sir.

He turned and began firing his P-90 upon the serpent guards. "Thanks, Jack." Sam acknowledged briefly.

"Thought you could use some help." He yelled over the sound of the weapons.

She looked behind her for a moment. "Grace, all you have to do is touch the surface of the mirror."

"I know, Mom!"

Jack saw the Jaffa's target too late. The staff weapon fired at Sam, catching her squarely in the chest. "Jack!" She screamed as she hit the ground.

"I love you," she managed to whisper, painfully before she closed her eyes for the last time.

Jack swallowed, trying to eliminate the lump in his throat that arose. Those damn Jaffa had killed his wife! He returned fire with more enthusiasm than before.

Is Mom…

Don't think about it. He replied. Just keep…

A staff blast cut his thought short.

The seven-year-old looked behind her into the face of Teal'c, Apophis's First Prime. She had just reached the Quantum Mirror, and as she placed her hand on the clear surface of the mirror, she felt a slight shock of energy reverberate through her body.

When she looked around, she found herself locked inside a supply closet at the SGC.
