Chapter 1

Daniel leaves the mirror falling down on the floor, while the team searches for him. He slowly sits up gritting his teeth from serious pain, his shoulder is injured and is bleeding badly.

"Someone help me? Please…" Sam was the first to hear him and went in the direction of the voice.

"Sir! It's Daniel "she shouted out happily, Teal`c raises his eyebrow

"I can assure you that I heard Daniel Jackson also" Jack and Teal'c then ran towards them. Sam had found Daniel against the wall, trying to breath through pain

"Hi Sam! I came back" He said smiling to her, and she for him

"Welcome back!" Jack got there with Teal`c smiling at him too

"Daniel, where have you been we've been looking for you all over the place. You had us all very concerned" Teal`c lowered his head in sign of compliance

"Daniel Jackson it is true; we were all very concerned, without exception". Daniel cried out in pain when Sam put a hand on his shoulder .

"Sorry Daniel but I have to check your wound" she said politely apologizing to him with her eyes. Nobody had paid attention to his injury until now. Teal'c noticed that Daniel had something wrapped under his coat when he held a bulge of something up against his chest possessively. Sam noticed when she tried to treat the wound

"Daniel? What have you got there?" she asked carefully, she could tell he looked scared as he grabs the bundle even tighter against him, remembering the words

`Please go and take him with you ... do not let anyone get him. Please!"the team was worried about Daniel, he seemed to be scared of them.

"Daniel? All is well, you are safe now ok?" he looked at the bundle carefully

"I have to protect Sam" Sam seemed confused and looked at Jack and Teal `c

"Ok? who or what you have to protect?"

"Him!" he looked down to his coat and raised it a little, the baby felt a bit of cold and cried, the sound echoing through the room. The team looked down amazed, at seeing a newborn baby-

"Where on earth did you get that baby?" Jack said , Sam raised her hand to Jack to let him know she would take care of this. Sam looked at Daniel, she was worried now

"Daniel can I? She raised her arms to signal that she wanted to pick up the baby, he looked a little bit reluctant but in the end decided to give her the baby anyway.
Sam took the baby carefully and looking at him more closely she could tell he had just been born because he had a part of the umbilical cord still attached. The moment the baby opened his eyes, Sam fell in love. He had big bright blue eyes and brown hair. She caressed his forehead and delicately grabbed his hand. He snuggled into her bosom as she swayed the baby in her arms protectively.

"It seems that he likes you Carter" she had tears in her eyes, but cleared them before anyone saw them, she never could have one , she could never snuggle a baby of her own in her arms, she could not breastfeed or tell a bedtime story.

"It also seems to me Captain Carter, that the baby seems to have recognized you instantly" Teal`c said

"Daniel where is the mother of this baby?" her heart hurt from just thinking that someone would take the baby away from her, but he had to go back to where he belonged. Daniel had tears in his eyes not only of pain but also because of what had happened.

"she did not survive! I tried to stop the bleeding but there was nothing I could do. When she realized that she would not make it, she asked me to take the baby to my reality ."

"She? Who was she? Reality? " Sam asked confused but relieved at the same time, perhaps no one would take the baby away from her. She felt a connection with this baby, he seemed so familiar, her heart melted when she had her eyes on him.

"Daniel please explain, it's just too much for me to handle" said Jack

"I was an alternate reality, it had each of us in the reality but in different situations…,they suffered an attack by Apophis, Teal`c was still his First Prime. You and Sam were married and I died, I guess"

"What?" Jack and Sam said at the same time

"Sam you were pregnant!" Sam did not want to believe her ears, she had been pregnant!

"Daniel ... you want to say that…" she was afraid to ask, fearing this was not her baby

"Yes Sam! This baby is your son ... and Jack's too" Jack was still processing the fact that he and Sam were married. They looked at each other and Sam also noted that Jack had tears in his eyes...Tears falling down his cheeks he came close to Sam, to see the baby better, or rather his son. He raised his hand and opened the coat a bit; there he was sleeping peacefully in Sam's arms, it was the most beautiful thing he had seen throughout his life, at that moment he knew that if someone took the baby from him, his life would end right there, because he was in love with him.

"Daniel are you sure? Sam asked, she did not want to suffer another disappointment, she thought about what had happened six months ago
