Daniel stood in the middle of medical, wishing there was more he could do. He knew he had to call Jack, and tell him to come down there. It didn't take a medical doctor to see how badly Cait was hurt. With a deep sigh, he tapped his headset and told Jack to come down, and to bring CT with him.
"How is she doing?" Evan said on the other side of the room.
"She'll be fine," one of the doctors said as he finished checking Kyri over. "You're going to need some stitches, and I'm going to want to run a scan on you once one is open."
Daniel watched as another doctor started to take Max and Ronon to one of the scanner rooms, while Max asked Ronon how he knew her head was hurting. Just then, Jack and CT came rushing in.
"What happened?" Jack said.
Looking at his friend, Daniel pinched the bridge of his nose. He didn't know how he was going to tell Jack what had happened to Cait. "There was an explosion in the labs. Cait was hurt pretty badly. She's in surgery right now. They're trying to save both Shaun and her," he quietly said.
"Oh god," CT said as he blinked away the tears in his eyes.
"I want to see her," Jack said, his voice strained with emotion.
Daniel nodded, and the three of them walked to the observation room. Rodney was standing there, covered in Cait's blood. He turned around and looked at them before shaking his head.
"They're taking Shaun out right now. I told Carson he's too small," he said as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Jack moved closer to the glass, and looked down. He let out a small sob, and leaned his head against the glass. "She'll be all right," he said to no one in particular. "Katie's strong. She'll be fine. She has to be. I'm supposed to die before her."
Stepping forward, Daniel laid a hand on Jack's shoulder. He could only imagine what he was going through. Daniel couldn't imagine anything like this happening to Molly or CJ. Squeezing Jack's shoulder, Daniel looked down as they took Shaun from Cait, and started to work on him.
"They have to be all right," Rodney cried before he collasped against Kade.
