Disclaimer : Not mine but a girl can wish besides MGM and Gecko don't want them.

The phone call that I had been dreading since being stationed in Washington finally happened.

I had just gotten back from Atlantis, and my own close call. "Can you get brain damage from having a replicator's hand stuck in your head too much?" I hope not. I have finally gotten the woman of my dreams and no hand in head sticking techno alien is going to ruin it for me.

I had just finished more paperwork, which is never ending around here, and my phone rang. It was Teal'c. He never calls me unless it was important.

"O'Neill you must get to the SGC right away."

"T, what's wrong? Is it Sam?"

Even as I said the words, I realized the uneasy feeling I had had all day, was getting worse.

We had always had that connection. I could always tell when she walked in the room. On Apophis' ship, when we were caught behind those awful force fields, I felt it, and when Sam was trapped in that entity thing, I felt it then as well.

Words were never needed with us; we could communicate with just a nod and a smile. God, I love her smile. It lights up my day, my life.

Lost in my own thoughts, I barely heard Teal'c as he briefly informed me as to what had occurred. Ori staff blast and. Sam was in surgery.

Trying to clear my throat I managed a strangled," I'll be there as soon as I can."

I hung up the phone and called my assistant, asking her to find the next available transport to Colorado Springs, and to clear my calendar. There are some advantages to being a general.

As I rush out the door, a thought I hope she can hear stays firm in my mind.

Hold on Sam. I haven't come this far just to lose you now.

Somehow I know she has heard me.

.A/N should I continue this or leave it as is?
