--------------------

Sam and Daniel kissed their children goodnight before returning to their own bedroom. She stood at the window, looking up at the full moon, her mind full of thoughts. He came up behind her and kissed her neck and shoulder, asking,

"What's up? We haven't had a chance to talk properly since you came home… how did the meeting with Liz, the IOA and the General go?"

She sighed, closing her eyes before replying,

"They want me to go to Atlantis for three months."

Still holding her, he straightened up, surprised, and asked,

"What did you say?"

"I said that I'd discuss it with you first… I don't think I can go though, what with you, Cammie and James, the wedding… not forgetting my work in this galaxy."

He kissed her shoulder before saying,

"Go for it."

She turned around, stunned, and asked,

"Really?"

He nodded and replied, "You're the best person for the job and it would be totally selfish, not forgetting sexist of me to demand that you stay here. We both know that the galaxies' safety is paramount… why do they need you over there anyway?"

"Sheppard got hit pretty badly during a surprise Wraith attack when they were on a reconnaissance mission. They reckon he'll be out of action for three months and they want me to step in for the duration, and assess my leadership skills in the process."

"Oh that poor man… I hope he's going to be alright… This isn't going to turn out to be permanent is it?"

She shook her head and replied, "No… I think they might want me to replace Cam as SG-1 leader and this is just a quiet way to test me."

He hugged her, saying, "The wedding can wait Sam… as for our babies, it'll be tough but we can get through this. Maybe I could go part time with Jonas... or maybe Jack will step in like he does when we're both needed off-world… either way, it's only for three months. Go knock 'em dead… not literally though."

She kissed him, wrapping her arms around his waist, before saying,

"Thank you Daniel…"

He gazed down at her and said, a hint of mischief in his eyes,

"Just do me one favour…"

She looked at him curiously, still not quite used to naughty Daniel, and he continued,

"Take some of Mitchell's lemon shower gel."

She rested her head on his chest, chuckling, and remarked,

"For you, anything… I'll borrow Sheppard's lucky lemon too."

He kissed the top of her head and whispered,

"You'll be fine, I know you will."
