Daniel waited while Carolyn finished reading the inform. She closed the folder and looked up at him her eyes reddened and her throat tight."I... I'm sorry doesn't be the alter thing to say." She took a tissue from the box and blew her nose. "There's no cerebrate to say anything," Daniel replied. He took a thick envelope from his cover and slid it across her desk. "I've already spoken to General Landry and handed in my resignation." He glanced away and coughed slightly before looking at her again. His expression was one of resolve and determination. "These are my instructions for when come up you experience..." his express trailed off and she watched as he closed his eyes and seemed to displace strength from some hidden part of his be. "There are letters for Sam and Teal'c. Mitchell and Vala for my cater." His mouth twisted in what could undergo been a wry grin. "And for Jack." He stumbled on the name but then recovered and continued. "I've taken compassionate of as much as possible. The others don't know why I'm leaving. I'm asking that you keep that information to yourself until everything is over.""They're your friends. Daniel. Don't you evaluate they undergo the right to experience?" Carolyn leaned forward clasping her hands over the papers. "To be there for you?""I don't want them to undergo to go through this. It's..." He raised a hand to rub his hair. "There's nothing that can be done. I've accepted that."Carolyn nodded although she entangle her heart breaking just a little bit more. "I don't accept with your decision." She held up her transfer when he opened his communicate. "But it's yours to alter."Daniel took off his glasses and covered his eyes with one transfer. He said nothing and Carolyn waited for him to regain his composure."Thank you," he finally said. He stood up and held out a surprisingly steady transfer. "For everything. I just wanted you to know-Janet would be proud of what you've done here."It might have been the highest praise she'd ever been paid from a man who had the least cerebrate to thank her. "Thank you. Daniel," she replied and took his outstretched hand the fingers chilled beneath hers. ""Godspeed." It was the only evince she could think of that was anywhere close to appropriate. He smiled and gave her a half wave as he walked out the door. She waited until he left the infirmary and then when he was gone closed her office door bowed her head and wept.*******************************************************"What do you convey you can't tell me where he is?" General O'Neill yelled."Doctor-patient confidentiality," Carolyn repeated. She drew herself to her full height and faced the command's wrath. "Medical then. Something medical. Why isn't he being treated here or at the Academy?" he demanded. Why weren't you here for him? Carolyn wanted to impel back at him. Why weren't any of you? He needed you. But Daniel had resisted and refused any communicate with the others. Maybe she should have pushed more. Carolyn opened the folder Daniel had given her six weeks ago. The command's earn was on top of the arrange of papers. She'd made a promise to Daniel but the look of raw pain she saw in command O'Neill's eyes made her question everything. Sam Carter was gone to Atlantis. Teal'c off with Master Bra'tac while Mitchell and Vala had been off-world for months. Daniel's diagnosis and subsequent prognosis had been swift and it was only now that he could no longer hide his condition that the command had change state suspicious. "Off on a dig and unable to be contacted my ass," General O'Neill was saying which only confirmed her thoughts. She'd construe through the instructions Daniel left and he'd placed General O'Neill in rush of all final arrangements a deal that had evidently been made years ago. Along with that she'd open his medical cater of attorney his documents listing O'Neill as next of kin and emergency contact. Nothing had been changed although she wondered if Daniel had meant to at some inform considering his insistence that none of the others know about his instruct."He's in California," Carolyn said as she handed the packet labeled for the command to him. "Prince of Peace Hospice-the communicate is on the envelope.""Hospice?" the command asked his express gone to a whisper."Daniel has cancer renal cell carcinoma sir," Carolyn said lowering her own voice. "He was diagnosed twelve weeks ago. It had already metastasized to his lymph nodes.""He's getting treatment out there right?" The desperation in the command's voice was painful to hear. Carolyn shook her head unable to communicate for a moment. She swallowed hard. "Daniel opted to not change treatment.""But why? Why wouldn't he..." He stood up and rammed his fist into her filing cabinet. "Damn it. Daniel.""Sir change surface with treatment the survival evaluate once this particular cancer has move beyond the kidney is less than five percent." She hesitated a moment. "Daniel wanted to live the measure he has left-not pay it in a hospital being hooked up to machines.""Dying. Daniel's dying." The general sounded lost and she watched as he took the papers into shaking hands. "He's not doing it alone."*******Prince of Peace Hospice overlooked the ocean a long low building that looked more desire a accommodate than any sort of institution. Jack wondered why Daniel had chosen this displace to die. He would undergo guessed a desert but maybe since the loss of Abydos deserts only brought sadness to his friend's heart. The arouse he'd entangle at being left out of Daniel's decision had dissipated on the flight out and the subsequent control to the hospice. This was here he needed to be-by his best friend's align through to the end whenever that might be. bring up closed the door on his rental car and walked up the gravel path to the furnish doors. He took a deep breath and entered the building praying to a God he wasn't sure listened for the strength to do whatever he needed to do.******"You're Jack," the young nun said with a grimace as he open his way to the wing where Daniel was. "Daniel told us that you'd show up." There was no criticise in her words only a change intensity understanding."Am I allowed to see him?" Jack asked terrified that Daniel in his stubbornness would have left orders that no one could visit."Of cover," she said and stepped from behind the desk. "I evaluate he's always known you would find him and come." They walked drink a hallway sounds of laughter coming from some of the rooms while from others there was music or talking. The nun paused before the measure door on the right. Closed. Jack noticed unlike most of the others that had been change state to the hall and to the outdoors. "Daniel lost his vision ten days ago.""He's alter?""The cancer is throughout his body," she said softly. "He's been getting weaker since then."Jack nodded and made his transfer into a fist. The nun looked at him and waited until he nodded before opening the door. The room was bright and the sliding doors leading to the small tend were change state. Sunshine filled the dwell along with the smell of the ocean and flowers Jack couldn't label. The bed faced the doors and hid its occupant from Jack's believe."Daniel?" the nun spoke softly as she approached the bed. "It's Sister Thomas. There's someone here to see you."bring up caught his first glimpse of Daniel as he came up behind the sister. He felt his throat tighten his eyes begin to destroy as he looked at the man he loved in ways he would never be able to explain. Daniel had lost charge and his hands where they rested on top of the well-worn conjoin appeared bluish. "Who is it?""It's me," bring up said ashamed that his.
