Chapter 1
We all waited in the Gateroom, Sam, Mitchell, Daniel, Vala, and I. We were waiting for Teal'c to come back from Dakara so we could carry on with our missions. Teal'c may be a member of SG-1 but he also had responsibilities on Dakara so we gave Teal'c room to do both. I couldn't stand still in the same spot. I was rocking back and forth on my feet in both excitement and anticipation of Teal'c's return. The others couldn't understand my excitement for Teal'c's return because they had been through this before but the news he was bringing with him was big. The gate activated with an incoming wormhole and my excitement increased ten fold. Teal'c walked started to walk down the ramp once he exited the wormhole but stopped once he noticed me running towards him. I stopped in front on him, gave him a small smile, and hugged him.
"Congratulations Teal'c," I said after hugging him and he bowed his head at me.
"Thank you Inari Mal Doran," replied Teal'c and we walked down the ramp together towards the rest of SG-1.
"Congratulations?" questioned Mitchell. "Congratulations for what?"
"Teal'c will tell you when his ready," I replied. "Right Teal'c."
"Indeed Inari Mal Doran," said
"Oh come on Muscles," said Vala. "Tell us the secret."
"Vala don't pressure him," said Daniel looking at Vala. "He'll tell us when he's ready."
"Come on Vala you know Teal'c's the king of keeping secrets," I said to Vala. "So there is no way you're going to get him to tell you unless he wants to." We walked out of the Gateroom and towards the briefing room when I got this unnerving feeling. I stopped walking and turned around to Teal'c.
"Teal'c?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?" The others noticed that Teal'c and I had stopped walking so they turned around to us.
"I am fine Inari Mal Doran," replied Teal'c but I still couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to go wrong.
"Inari what is it?" asked Daniel and that's when I noticed this slight pained look in his eyes that no one would noticed unless you looked.
"Teal'c," I screamed as he fell to the ground. I fell to the ground and kneeled at his side, "Teal'c wake up!" The others crowded around us as Sam called the infirmary.
"Guys you're going to have to move," said Doctor Lam as she made her way towards us. The others moved out of her way but I couldn't I was frozen. I just could move from his side. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was Doctor Lam's. "Sweetheart you're going to have to move." I got up slowly unsure of what exactly was going on. Everything around me was going so much faster almost like years were passing in seconds but everything was also moving at the normal pace not faster, not slower. Teal'c was rushed to the infirmary with the rest of us not far behind him but the run there felt like it took forever and like we were there in no time all at the same time.
We were waiting in the infirmary for the news about Teal'c, what was wrong with him, why it had happened but we got nothing for silence or many minutes.
"Please tell me this has nothing to do with what you congratulated him for earlier," said Mitchell breaking the silence and trying to add slight humor to keep us going. I smiled slightly hoping that Teal'c would be able to tell them the good news himself.
"No it doesn't and don't worry it's juicy," I said still smiling slightly. "And no I won't tell you what it is."
"Damn it," I heard Mitchell say under his breath.
"I heard that Mitchell," I replied to Mitchell's curse. The team let out a tired laugh while all of yes were hoping and some of us were praying that Teal'c would be okay. I saw Doctor Lam coming towards us and stood up out of my chair hoping she had some good news. The others noticed her and stood up as well. They all walked over to her while I stayed behind knowing that something was still wrong.
"Is he okay?" asked Daniel.
"Muscles is okay, right?" asked Vala.
"What was wrong with him?" asked Mitchell.
"He's better know right?" asked Sam but their questions cam our one jumbled mess.
"Okay I can't hear all of your questions when you ask them at one time," said Doctor Lam. "So only one of you can ask a question." They all were quiet until Daniel spoke up.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Daniel.
"I don't know Daniel, I really don't know?" replied Doctor Lam and that's when five pairs of eyes turned to look at me asking the same question Daniel had just asked. I honestly did know if they wanted to know the answer or if I wanted to tell them.
