"United"
Disclaimer: I don't own the Mummy characters or the Stargate ones. I do, however, own Rebecca (Beka) and the plot.
Chapter 1
(1930's, Egyptian Dessert, Mad-ji Camp)
Rebecca sat inside her tent, waiting for her husband, Aradeth Bay, to come home from the days events. Whatever they may be, most of the time he would come home, tired from training the Mad-ji boys. But every so often he would come home with amazing stories.
The married couple of 8 years and counting had three children: a pair of 5 year old twin boys, Daniel and Jack; a 1 year baby girl, Samantha, and a new one on the way. That night it was very easy to put the children to bed. Which, in it self, was a relief. The twins were a nightmare when it came to going to bed. Elizabeth was always a pleasure to put to bed.
So, Beka sat in the main area of the tent, drinking her nightly tea before bed. She unconsciously pulled out a picture of her brother, Rick O' Connell, and herself at the age of 10. They were twins as well. She hasn't seen him in several years. According to Aradeth, Rick was married and has a boy, about 8 years old by now. Of course she never told Aradeth that she was even related to the O' Connell family in any way.
Beka put the picture back in her pocket. She continued to gaze into the fire, her baby blue eyes, shimmering from the fires light. The wind began to pick up and her brown hair ruffled in the cool desert night breeze.
Moments later Aradeth Bay entered the tent. Beka looked up and put the tea down beside the fire. She stood and walked over to her husband. He greeted her with a kiss on the lips. Aradeth glanced around the main living area. A fire was lit in the middle of the room, with a tea kettle sitting over it.
"The children are asleep," he sighed, sounding disappointed.
Beka gave a small laugh.
"They were so tired from the day's events that the twins couldn't wait to go to bed. They tried to stay awake to say goodnight to you. But, they were just too tired," she told him.
He sat down next to the spot Beka was sitting a moment ago. She filled up another cup with tea and passed it to him. Beka, then, sat back down, drinking her tea.
"So, how did your day fair out? Is there anything interesting that happened?" she asked, sipping her tea.
"The Americans uncovered the Doorway today," he told her.
Beka looked at him, nearly choking on her tea.
"So soon? Have the Elders decided whether or not to tell them?" she asked.
Yes," Aradeth said. "There would be no point in telling them anyway. They did not find the control device that went with the Doorway anywhere without that there is no other way to use it."
"Then we shouldn't have anything to worry about," Beka said.
"Not for some time," he said. Aradeth wanted to change the subject. "You went to the healer like I advised?"
She drained her cup of tea and set it down before answering.
"Yes, I went," Beka said.
"Is there anything wrong?" he asked.
"No, everything is fine and as it should be," she said. "It was just the morning sickness."
He nodded, relieved that nothing was wrong. Aradeth wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately. After a moment they broke away.
"Wow! What was that for?" she asked.
"For giving me three beautiful children into the world and for loving me when no one else would," he said.
"You're welcome," she smiled.
She then reached for the kettle to fill up her cup. A blinding light appeared.
*Premonition*
(Year 2000, SGC, Stargate Room)
A four member team stood in front of an activated Stargate. The Event Horizon shimmered brightly and lit the room and the room behind it, known as the Control Room. A bold headed man stood behind the glass that separated the 'Gate Room and the Control Room.
"Sg-1 you have a go!" The bald General said. "Good luck, Colonel."
"Thank you, sir," The graying Colonel saluted.
With a glance to his team he led the way through the Stargate.
*End Premonition*
(1930's, Egyptian Dessert, Mad-ji Camp)
Beka fell back on the cushions in front of the fire, where she was sitting only moments before. Aradeth did his best to make her comfortable. She was breathing hard and sweating. He wiped the sweat away with a damp cloth. Beka tried to control her breathing, slowing the pace a little at a time.
"What did you see?" he asked, as soon as her breathing was normal.
"I saw the Doorway being used sometime in the future. I'm not sure when. I don't think we should worry too much, though. It looked like the Americans know what they're doing and have been using the Doorway for years," she paused, and then continued. "The Doorway is in good hands, Aradeth. We do not need to worry."
Beka sat back up weakly. But, ended up collapsing in her husband's arms.
"That vision was intense. I've never had one like that," she told him tiredly.
He kissed her on the forehead softly and picked her up. Aradeth laid her down on their bed and covered her. He then kissed her one last time before going to bed himself.

I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with this one or not. If you'd like me to continue I need at least 1 review. If no one reviews, then I'm not continuing.
