Unexpected Miracle

Shocking News

I sank down the wall, my head resting on my knees; desperately trying to remember what I could have eaten that would have made me this sick. As the urge arose again I sat up and emptied the little that remained in my stomach. Washing my mouth out, I headed for the gate room. There was no way I was going to allow some small stomach bug to stop me from kicking butt.

The planet was covered in thick vegetation and it was almost impossible to trek through it. Daniel seemed to notice how quickly I was becoming exhausted. Not wanting to answer any questions I sped up, walking straight past him and joining Sam.
I could feel myself becoming weaker and weaker and before I knew what was happening I felt a sharp pain in my arm, the ground began to slip out from beneath me and my vision was slowly spinning, going black with each second.


"Nothing too bad, broken wrist, minor concussion, slight bruising on her legs. I've stitched up her arm where she was hit. She should be right as rain in the morning but I'm still going to keep her here over night just to monitor her as a precaution." I opened my eyes and could see Dr Lam filling the team and General Landry in. Daniel was the first to notice I was awake. He immediately moved to my side.

"Hey, how you feeling?"

"Daniel, if you wanted me in bed all you had to do was ask. Although I didn't know you would go for some place so open." I throw at him in a less than pleased voice. I can see I annoyed him but what a stupid question. How the hell does he think I'm feeling? I just heard I've got to be couped up here all night!

I pull back into the pillows as Carolyn shines her little light into my eyes.

"What happened?" I can't seem to recall anything after walking through the gate.

Cam moved forward.

"Don't think the natives get many guests."

"Well if this is how they end up I don't blame people for not going back."

Cam ignored me and continued on.

"We were walking, then out of the blue we had tiny arrows being shot at us. Got you in the arm."

"They had some kind of unidentified liquid on the end of them which is what caused you to faint."

"I didn't faint!" Sam just smiled at me. This was not how i was planning to spend my week. I was momentarily relieved as Carolyn asked to have a word alone with me, but the look she gave me made me unsettled.

"How have you been feeling lately?"

"Great. Never been better. Got an airman making not so subtle passes at me."

"Vala, I didn't say this in front of the others because it's really only your business." My heart skipped a beat. Awful scenarios popped into my head.

"I triple checked it for you and I got the same result each time. Your pregnant." I couldn't help it, I laughed.

"You're joking right?" I didn't need the answer. The look she gave me was enough.

"Judging by the size of your baby, I would say you are about 3 months along." I already knew how far along I was. I wasn't stupid. I knew the symptoms of pregnancy, after all this wouldn't be the first time. I had just been choosing to make up other excuses for the signs.

"Would have taken the stomach bug any day." All I got was a confused look.

"You are going to have to inform General Landry about this immediately."

"Wait, you said before that it was only my business. Why now do I need to tell anyone?"

"For you and your baby's health. We will need to keep an eye on you throughout the pregnancy and once you get past a certain stage, you will need to be pulled from active duty." I gasped. Sitting around the base all day was the last thing I wanted to do. I'd end up crazy.

Jumping out of bed, I turned and addressed the good doctor before she got a chance to order me to lie back down.

"OK, thanks. I will be sure to tell the general very soon." I rushed out of the infirmary. I knew it was a lie and I'm positive she knew I was lying too, but I wasn't going to stay around to listen to all the other reasons why i should spread the news of this little 'miracle'. For the moment I didn't want anyone to know.


Sinking down into my bed, I curled into a ball and hugged my pillow. I could sense by the way Carolyn was looking at me that she was wondering if I even knew who the father was. They act as if that would be awful. Falling pregnant and not know who's it was. I would much prefer that in this case, because having to face the hurt and loneliness I felt that night, every time I see him, knowing very well his child is growing inside me might very well rip me apart from the inside out.
So, tell me what you think! Like it? Love it? And yes there is no hate it option. My first Stargate SG1 story! Also, i have only seem about 2 episode with Vala in them and she wasn't part of the team so i apologise if i have not written her properly or her inter-action with the team seems off.

What's Vala going to do? Will she tell her mystery man she is pregnant? How long can she keep it a secret for? Your guess is as good as mine!

Please review on your way out!
