The Vows Which Held Us Together:
Til' Death Do Us Part
By TheDarkSynfulLegend
Til Death Do Us Part . . .
I was furious. No one wanted to hear what I had to say. No one wanted to admit that they were wrong and that Daniel was not trying to sabotage anything. They were lying through their teeth and I was not going to let them besmirch my friend's name in that manner. Over my dead, cold corpse will they do that to my Daniel. I headed to Hammond's office and by the time I got there, I was angrier than I had ever been before.
“The Asgard aren't responding, Jack.”
“We do have intelligence on a sarcophagus...” I let my voice trail off.
“SG-3's mission report. That was over two months ago.”
“Yes, sir.”
“We both know the negative effects of that, Colonel.”
Oh boy, he used my full rank, that's never a good thing. “Daniel has been in one of those a lot, once more won't kill him like this will.” I said, stressing my position on the matter.
“However, it was also in the report that the sarcophagus was heavily guarded, which is why I won't order a recovery mission.”
“Sir...”
“Colonel. Please, don't think that you're alone in your feelings.”
“Yes, sir.” I said before I turned on my heel and headed out the door. I was headed for Sam's office but instead slammed my fist into the nearest wall. Only then when my hand was throbbing to make me focus, did I make my way to Sam's office where she proceeded to tell me all about the naquadria and what it was capable of, but I didn't care. The more I fought to tell them that this was more about Daniel's life and that was more important, the more no one listened to me. I was getting damned sick of this, and went to the planet to try and make Jonas Quinn understand what Daniel was trying to do, but it was like talking to a brick wall.
~*~
When I returned, I went to sit with Daniel, and he had been covered in bandages. I sat next to him on the bed and gave him a smile when he said my name, “Hey Jack.”
“Hey. I just, I wanted...God, I'm bad at this.” I muttered.
“Yes, you are. I hear Sam thinks that the element might be an important discovery.”
I nodded and shrugged, “Yeah, apparently, if we can get some. For what its worth, I tried to get your point across to Jonas.”
“he's in a tough position, Jack.”
“You're not gonna take the fall for this. I don't care what's at stake.” I said with conviction. His blue eyes were red rimmed, and filled with pain and it tore at my soul that I couldn't take it from him. It killed me to see him this way.
“Why do you care?”
Because I love you, Daniel. I thought, but that isn't what came out of my mouth. “Because, you've been a terrific pain in my ass for the last five years, I may have...might have, uh, grown to admire you a little, I think.” I managed to say, though it wasn't what I wanted to truly say. It wasn't what was in my heart.
“Now, that's touching.” Daniel said, and his lips curled into a smile.
“This will not be your last official act on record.” I said sharply. Because I won't fucking let it be.
~*~
I sat there for a long time, remembering my friend, even as he lay there dying beneath the bandages. A smile slid over my features as I thought back and remembered all the things that made Daniel...Daniel. The way he spoke with his entire body, not just his hands. The way his glasses would slide down his nose and he'd push them back up impatiently. The way he loved his power bars, though personally, I couldn't eat them. How excited he would get when we found a planet with new things he had never seen before and the way he would literally bounce on his toes to start deciphering them.
He defended me when I had all that Ancient junk shoved in my head. He stayed with me, he wouldn't leave me alone. He didn't abandon me, when others would have...he wasn't even a soldier, but he would never leave a friend behind.
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair, grumbling to myself as I looked up and saw Jonas Quinn standing with General Hammond. I got up and gently pat Daniel's arm to let him know I was leaving but I would return, as I went upstairs to see what he was doing here. When I heard the full story of what had happened on Kelowna from Jonas' lips I knew that was exactly what had happened for it was the sort of thing Daniel would have done.
Daniel always wanted to make friends and influence people. He would give his life for those he didn't even know. He has always been that way, every planet we have ever been together, he's tried for the greater good. Even gone up against me, on more than one occasion, sure, he can be a flaky guy, but at the same time, his heart is always in the right place.
When Jacob arrived, he started to heal Daniel with a Goa'uld healing device. Sam had tried earlier but it didn't work the way we had hoped. Jacob told us that Daniel's condition was grave, and I had already accepted that, but Selmak, insisted that he would do his best. As I stood there, with Teal'c, Dr. Frasier, Sam, and General Hammond, we all watched as a golden glow began to envelop Daniel. I stood there with this look on my face, but then I felt a hand on my shoulder and suddenly Daniel was standing in front of me.
~*~
“Hey, Daniel.”
“Jack.”
We were standing in the Embarkation Room and there was a woman who was standing there watching us with a content smile on her lips. “Did you need something?” I hesitated to ask.
“Yeah...” those blue eyes were focused on me, “Tell Jacob to stop.”
I stared into those blue eyes that reminded me of sapphires in a museum, but these were full of life and something else. “Why?” I inquired, I had to know why he was leaving. What about SG-1, Daniel, what about me...
“Because, I'm ready to move on.”
I am not ready to let you go...and I won't be for another fifty years, Daniel. You can't do this to me. I thought, “You just . . . giving up?”
“No. No, I'm not giving up, believe me.” he replied to me, “You remember Oma?” He asked, as we watched as Oma changed into a glowing white form and went through the Stargate leaving an open wormhole, but this was unlike any one I had ever seen before.
“Sure.” I replied, though right now, I wish I didn't, because she is taking my Daniel from me. And I'm not ready to let him go. I turned my head and gave her a smile, though my heart wasn't in it.
“I think I can do more this way. Its what I want. I have to go now, Jack.” Daniel said as he looked at me, his eyes filling with unshed tears. And if they fell, I would not stop myself from reaching out and wiping them away. “Please, Jack.” His voice was trembling and I think he was begging me to let him go. “Tell Jacob to stop.”
~*~
I nodded, and suddenly I was back in my own body, watching as Jacob was still healing Daniel. My voice was soft as I spoke, “Jacob.” All eyes turned towards me. “Stop.”
Jacob looked at me like I had just grown another head, “Are you serious?” he asked me, the disbelief in his eyes, in all their eyes that I would let Daniel go.
“It's what he wants.” I replied my voice almost a dead monotone, And I think he deserves to have what he wants for once in his life.
Jacob turned and glanced over at Dr. Frasier, “Someone else want to tell me what to do.” There was no registering look in her eyes as she shook her head minutely.
I looked up at Jacob, and I knew that there were tears in my eyes as I spoke. “Just let him go.” It hurt to say the words, but it was what Daniel wanted, and I would never not give him what he wanted. Even if it meant losing him forever.
Jacob lifted the device and we all watched as Daniel took one last breath and exhaled, the EKG flat lining, the tone confirming it all for us. “Colonel!” Dr. Frasier snapped at me, but I ignored her as Daniel's entire body began to glow with this angelic light.
~*~
“I'm gonna miss you guys.” Daniel said to me, as I was back in the room with the Stargate itself. His blue eyes were teary, and he had a smile on his face.
“Yeah, you too.” I managed to reply.
“Thank you, Jack. For everything.”
I stared at him for a moment, “So, what? See you around?” I asked.
“I don't know.” he replied, turning and walking up the ramp.
I watched him go, but then had a thought, “Hey...where are you going?” I asked, wondering where he was heading.
“I don't know.” He said with one of those lop-sided smiles before he stepped through the gate and vanished.
~*~
I returned to my own body then and watched as the white light that had been Daniel Jackson ascend towards the ceiling. And realized it was too late, I had lost my chance to tell him. For what it's worth, Daniel. I love you. And I will never forget what you meant to me. I thought, as a tear fell unhindered from my eye as the last of the light winked out.
~*~
Author's Note: This suddenly struck me and now I have little versions of Jack and Daniel hovering over me. Please, read and review, even if you hate it.
