FIC! Title: Pumpkin Pie
Category: Stargate SG-1
Rating: M
Pairing: Janet/Bra'tac
Spoilers: None really, open to the season after "Motherly Instinct", so Bra'tac would be like 135 or so.
Summary: Follow up to 'Unlikely Spark', Bra'tac makes his return visit to see a certain medical officer.
"Incoming wormhole!" shouted the technician as he signaled for General Hammond. "Receiving IDC, confirming it is Master Bra'tac, sir."
"Open the iris," commanded Hammond.
The protective iris opened with a metal shutter, revealing the glow of the vortex. Master Bra'tac stepped through, sans weapons. He smiled as Hammond greeted him.
"Greetings Hammond of Texas. I assure you that this visit bears no pressing matters or bad news." Bra'tac chuckled.
"Hello Master Bra'tac. You are welcome here as always, shall I send someone to find Teal'c for you?"
"That will not be necessary. I will be in search of him momentarily. I have come with bearings for Doctor Fraiser." he explained.
"Very well, how long will you be staying? And shall I assume that you will be staying with Doctor Fraiser during your duration here?" Hammond asked with a knowing smirk.
Bra'tac lowered his head, smiling. "I am available for a short visit, and yes…I shall be staying with the Doctor."
Hammond gave a small laugh. Leave it to Master Bra'tac to find an interesting attraction to our resident doctor earth side.
Bra'tac wandered down the corridors of the SGC making his way towards the infirmary. It was his destination, and the place to find the one he had developed a certain attachment to. He smiled as he entered the room. It was quiet for once, with no teams in peril, for the moment anyway. He looked around and found no trace of anyone. He continued around the corner and found Janet's office. He took the moment to observe her. She had her head resting on her hand, elbow on the desk. She seemed to be overloaded with the duty of paperwork. Bra'tac smirked and walked into her office, knocking softly on the entryway.
Janet looked up and the sound of someone knocking. Her eyes widened when she found that it was none other than the very person she had been thinking of. She blushed when she realized that he had been watching her while she was doing reports. Janet tried to regain her composure, smiling brightly at Bra'tac.
"I was just thinking about you, you know. This is a wonderful surprise seeing you in my doorway." she smiled shyly. Rising, she went to properly greet him. Wrapping her arms around him while he returned the embrace. It was exactly what she needed to brighten her day.
Walking out of the infirmary hand in hand, they proceeded to make their way towards the surface. Janet was still not accustomed to the looks they received when they were together. It was indeed strange to see an elder jaffa courting a young tau'ri doctor. Bra'tac was not concerned of what was going on around them, but only of the woman by his side. True, they made an odd couple, but never can two people be so perfect for each other. Bra'tac had returned to Earth to his love, and also to see more of the town. Plus, Janet had promised more of her famous pumpkin pie.
Arriving at her car, ever the gentleman, Bra'tac gallantly opened her door for her. He had given her a chaste kiss farewell and assured her that he would meet her at her house later that evening. On the way home, Janet was all afloat with butterflies. There was no logic to their relationship, but did she question it? Nope, she went along for the ride. She hastily ran upstairs to slip into the tub to prepare for later that evening.
It was around 7 pm when the doorbell rang. Janet had to control herself so she didn't practically run to the door. She swung open the door to be greeted by the most handsome face she had ever laid eyes on. Stepping aside, she motioned him in. Bra'tac decided to keep his present a secret until after dinner, when it was just the two of them alone.
"Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" she inquired. "After dinner we could return to my place and I can serve you dessert."
"That sounds like a lovely idea, my love. I am interested in seeing what more this place has to offer." he replied.
"The only thing with going out is that I have to find something to cover your forehead. I may find your emblem endearing, but I don't think the general public would know what to do about you." she chuckled.
Promptly, Janet went to find some sort of covering for his forehead. There was a gasp of excitement when she found the perfect thing. Dashing down the stairs she ran to Bra'tac. This would be the perfect look for him. His eyes widened in amazement at how she looked. The smile that was on his face showed only adoration and pride for her. Janet blushed under his admirations. She held out what she had found for him. It was a simple black beanie cap, but it would do for cover.
"You look fantastic my dear. I am honored to escort you to dinner." He praised.
"Why thank you, dearest. I found something to cover your head. I think it'll be perfect. It even matches what you're wearing."
Bra'tac took the proffered cap and covered his head. When he had arrived at the SGC, Colonel O'Neill had let him borrow some clothes so he would stand out a little less. Simple khaki pants and a black sweater. He now looked relaxed and feeling more a part of the crowd. He linked his arm within Janet's and they headed out the door to take pleasure in an evening of enjoyment. Again, he held the car door open for her and then took his place in the passenger seat. Teal'c may have learned to drive, but he had no interest if it was not an Alkesh.
This time they went to the same restaurant as last time Bra'tac visited her. Janet thought it appropriate that they celebrate their relationship here, as it was the first dining establishment she had brought him to on his visit to Earth. The restaurant was not too crowed, it being the middle of the week. It was dimly lit, but not overly so. All in all, it was the perfect romantic setting. As like last time, Bra'tac ordered what Janet had suggested, since this was her native cuisine. Bra'tac reached across the table and grasped Janet's hand in his own. Surprised she looked up at him and flashed that tender smile he was so fond of.
Dinner progressed rather smoothly, with intervals of Bra'tac inquiring more and more about the Earth culture and its odd behaviors. Although, he had asked his former student earlier on how to deal with Earth women. Teal'c had presented the tidbit that he procure an offering of peace to the doctor. It was at that point Bra'tac went to seek more advice from none other than DanielJackson with more on this 'peace offering'. When he had arrived at the office of the archeologist and presented what Teal'c had told him, Daniel suggested a precious gift to show affection and admiration for the petite fille. Promptly after that conversation, Bra'tac enlisted the aide of the one and only Jack O'Neill to be his ride to the mall. He had searched and searched. Finally, he had found the perfect gift to get. It was a simple chain link silver necklace and at the end a perfect emerald heart was attached. He remembered that the emerald was her favorite stone. He hoped that she would enjoy her peace offering.
He cleared his head and focused back on the conversation with Janet. He wanted to learn everything he could about her, and share everything about him with her.
