A/N: The basic premise of this story is influenced by the Leo-Piper story arc in Charmed, and the girls will drop in along with the Doctor. As with Stargate, Charmed and Doctor Who don't belong to me… wow, there goes my yacht…

Oh… as with Commanders, italics and apostrophes/single quotes means psychic conversation

Reviews rock, by the way – don't be shy – I'm not psychic

If you don't like SamDaniel, what are you doing here?!

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

SG-1, consisting of Sam, Cam, Daniel, Teal'c, and Jonas, emerged from the active event horizon, down the gate ramp and into the gateroom at the SGC. As the gateroom personnel lowered their weapons, stowing them away in the armoury, Elizabeth, standing at the base of the ramp and acting as Daniel's civilian second-in-command, said with a smile,

"Welcome back, SG-1."

The team smiled at her, Sam replying, "Thanks, Liz…"

She turned to Daniel who said with a little shrug, feigning exasperation, "You know, you're technically in command of the base, Colonel… Fine. Debrief in two hours – get yourselves down to Doctor Quinn. Happy?"

Sam laughed, Cam patting the Archaeologist on the back as she led her team out, Daniel remarking to an amused Elizabeth, "That's what I get for marrying an Air Force officer."

'Well, to be honest Daniel, I miss General Landry… actually, I miss General O'Neill. At least he was funny.'

'Hey, I can be funny.'

'Don't I know it… come on Jackson, no frowning – you're cuter when you're not.'

Daniel rolled his eyes as he walked with his friends to the Infirmary, and Cam remarked, "What I'd do to be a psychic… actually, on second thoughts, I could do without Vala having another channel by which to be on my case."

Teal'c asked, "When will ValaMalDoran's maternity leave end?"

"Oh, a couple of months… it's Feb now…uh, April. The poor girl's getting stir-crazy."

Sam remarked, "Well, come on, she's not used to sitting at home after everything that she's done not only with SG-1 but before that."

'Thank you very much, Sam…'

'Daniel, stop feeling so guilty about it - you got the ship back.'

'Yeah, after being beaten, hit on… did I mention beaten?'

Jonas said, exhaling, "I can't wait for her to come back – she's a lot of fun."

Teal'c smiled slightly as Cam looked at the Kelownan oddly, remarking, "Carolyn and I aren't going to have to take turns kicking your ass, are we?"

Jonas rolled his eyes and retorted, "I did mean as a friend, Colonel."

Sam turned around as Cam opened his mouth to reply, right before they entered the Infirmary, saying, her eyebrow going up briefly, "Mitchell, stop being so insecure."

She walked into the Infirmary as Daniel patted Cam on the shoulder, saying with a little smile, "You got told."

He walked past the southern Colonel with Teal'c and Jonas, leaving Cam to glare at their retreating figures before following suit for their customary post-mission medical examinations, stopping briefly to say 'hi' to Carson.

SG-1 sat around the briefing table with Elizabeth, Daniel saying, "Well, we would have to prioritise according to levels of technology and culture. A Free Jaffa Embassy won't work in a place like Edora where they are definitely not ready to open their minds up to interstellar travel, but it could work on Hebridan."

Elizabeth said, her chin propped up on her hand, "We would have to conduct negotiations with each world."

Sam exhaled and said, her arms folded on the table in front of her, "We are light years away from that – the Jaffa have only just sworn in the new council. They have still to sort themselves out, and we've still got the Lucian Alliance hating our guts for cracking down on their hemp ring."

Everyone smiled, and Cam remarked, rolling his eyes briefly, "Colonel, that was highly addictive corn not pot."

"Same difference."

'Way to sound like Jack, honey.'

'Daniel, come on, when have I ever been so in tune with things around here? I'm finally able to relax… Definitely not fishing though.'

'I thought not.'

Teal'c said, "The Free Jaffa are far from being a fully functional nation yet – they require time."

Jonas replied, "Well, they're getting it, unless the, ah, Lucian Alliance take it upon themselves to be false gods… it could be a rotational thing, we don't know."

Everyone else exchanged little glances and Daniel remarked, glancing at Cam, "I think our boy just cracked a joke."

Sam chuckled, adding, "Must be the morphine… we better watch out he doesn't start singing Daisy, Daisy any time soon. Anywho…"

Daniel smiled briefly at mention of a word that he used frequently, and she continued, looking around at her friends, "Ok, I think we're done here. Reports by tonight or tomorrow. Dismissed."
