The panic isn't so much about being alive as it is about something new and unfamiliar happening to her body. It also helps her to see Sam relax and not be panicked or worried about what's going on.
She doesn't mind at all, though it takes her a second to figure out why he's lifting her shirt to look at her torso. She remembers why after a moment and takes his expression to mean everything is okay. No, that wound has been more scar and not open to infection for a long time. She's not worried about it, but his reaction to her. His confirmation that she looks the same and that things haven't changed, makes her relax a little. She leans into him, her forehead resting against his chest, her hands on his hips. "Did you ask him to do this?" There's no judgment, of course. It will be a gift she's grateful for; she's just curious about the why. Of course, neither of them can know that the why lies more in Jack listening and paying attention to things they don't realize he sees or hears. The why is Jack giving them both a gift neither of them has fully explored.
