CAN'T BE REAL

"Daniel, go to bed we have a briefing at 08:00 tomorrow morning!" Jack urged when he walked in on the young scientist staring blankly at the massive Star Gate before him.

"Yeah, Jack, I know..." He trailed off, could he really tell Jack O'Neill what was on his mind? He'd just laugh.

"Come on Danny... what's up with you lately?"

"I'm fine, Jack, really." He forced a smile and looked back to the gate.

"If you're not in you're quarters in ten minutes I'll have some SFs escort you there."

"No problem."

"G'night."

"Night." Daniel looked back at the gate again, he could remember when he had said that every time he went through the gate he had hope of finding Sha're. She was dead now... Almost eight years ago Daniel had lost her to the goa'uld, she had died a little over five years ago. He remembered how in his mind Teal'c had been so sorry about killing her to save him, but she had wanted Daniel to forgive Teal'c, besides she had been right Daniel would be dead if Teal'c hadn't fired the weapon...

He stood there for another five minutes before heading to his quarters. As he rounded the corner he walked right into Major Samantha Carter.

"Sam," he said in surprise, "I'm sorry wasn't paying attention."

"Its aright," Sam answered, amusement in her big blue eyes, "neither was I." She let out a short laugh, so did Daniel. "Actually I was looking for you..."

"Did Jack send you?" He joked.

"Nope, but I was wondering if we could talk."

"Sure, but it'll have to be in my quarters, or the Colonel might send out a search party."

When they got to Daniel's room Sam sat on the side of the bed, Daniel sat at his desk, fiddling with a pen.

"So..." Sam started, "what's been on you're mind lately?"

He studied her face before answering her. "You won't laugh, will you?"

"No I wont, I promise."

"Well..." He raised his eyes to meet her's, "I've been having some dreams..."

"And...."

"Well do you remember how on Abydos, I had very long uh... 'dreams' before I realized what was really happening? The day Sha're died? She was telling me about the boy... that we had to find him..." He looked at her and waited for a response.

"That was four and a half years ago...and we DID find the boy." Sam looked at him, concern in her eyes.

"Yeah I know, but that's not the point! You see Sha're has been in my dreams lately, with the boy, they have said that Sha're had a daughter to! That she is in danger and she needs me to find her and to save her! But, Sam, I can't do it; I have racked my mind looking for an explanation, but there isn't one! I'm going insane!" At this point he started to cry. Sam went to him and wrapped him in a sisterly hug.

"Its aright Daniel, I'm going to help you... If she is really out there somewhere we'll find her! I swear!"

"Yeah but I thought I was over her, the thought of her having not just one but two kids with Apophis, it makes me sick!" He got up and stormed over to his bedside table, he slammed his hand down and started to shake with emotion. Sam stood watching him; her heart ached watching one of her best friends struggle like this.

"Daniel," Sam started as she walked towards him, "do you want me to go?"

"Yes," he turned towards her, "Thanks Sam, I feel somewhat better." Sam couldn't help but notice his tear stained face, and the dark circles under his eyes, she embraced him.

"Get some sleep, maybe you'll find something out."

"Ok..." he squeezed her arm lightly "Night Sam."

"Night Daniel."

"Oh and Sam?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't say anything to anyone else about this..."

"I can't promise that... I wont unless I have to."

"Yeah..."

"Daniel..." His eyes flung opened, the clock next to him said 06:00. "Daniel?" the voice was coming from the other side of the room, he put on his glasses and waited until his eyes adjusted to the light.

"Sha're!" He got out of bed and walked to her, embracing her.

"You need to help her Daniel... she needs you, if you do not help her she will die."

"Yes I know, but who is she? Where is she? What's wrong with her?"

"You will know who she is when you meet her, she is dieing, you must find her before it is to late, please."

"Sha're..." She kissed him, to make him stop talking.

"You will know when you find her, your friends can help you, let them." She stepped back from him, her figure started to fade. "I love you Daniel." Then she was gone.

"Sha're! I love you to." He said in a loud whisper, "But I need your help..."

He awoke in a cold sweat, but he was shivering, and crying. It was 07:30.

He showered and dressed before heading to the briefing room. He got there just as Sam, Jack, Teal'c and General Hammond were sitting down. He took a seat across from Sam. The whole briefing was a blur, he couldn't stop replaying Sha're's message over and over in his mind. He was lost in his own world the whole time.

"Doctor?" Hammond said addressing Daniel, when he didn't move Jack kicked him in the leg from under the table.

"What?" He realized that the General had been addressing him and quickly covered saying, "General, sorry I was just thinking," he glanced at Sam, who gave him a smile to encourage him, "What I mean to say, Sir, is that P3X-667 is a nice planet, so far there have been no signs of the goa'uld, there may or may not be human life, it seems relatively safe. I see no reason why we should not go."

"Then you have a go."

"Ok troops you heard the man! Suit up and be in the gate room and ready to leave in no more then 20 minutes!" O'Neil said standing to attention, he was trying to lighten the mood, he had realized that his 2IC and Daniel had seemed a little tense and worried. He was glad to see Sam smile, but Daniel was back to his own world. After everyone else had left Jack went over to Daniel and nudged him in the arm. Daniel blinked and looked at him. "You OK Danny-boy?"

"I thought you stopped calling me that." Daniel said with a weak smile.

"Yeah well... you looked like you needed it. Lets get going we only have 15 minutes left!" Daniel smiled and shook his head.
