AN: This started out to be a oneshot, but I think I can squeeze at least 3 chapters out of it. Let me know what you think, feedback is always nice :) Oh, and thanks to my sister Faith for being my beta reader :)

Summary: Sam/Daniel pairing as always. :) Sam's POV. Sam realizes there's no place like home. It takes place sometime in the furture, after the Ori have been defeated.

No Place Like Home

"Ah, there's no place like home" I said as I parked the car. After being off world for three days with SG-4, I was glad to be home. My thoughts were on the two people waiting inside. I gathered my belongings and headed for the house. As I reached the door I noticed the soft glow of the TV. Quietly I made my way into the house. I dropped my things just inside the door and proceeded into the living room. There laid my sleeping husband and my precious three-year-old daughter. She was plastered on his chest. Her light brown curls covered her face. Smiling, I bent down and kissed my husband. Slowly his eyes opened. "Sam? I didn't hear you come in" he whispered.

"Yeah, I noticed."

"What time is it?" he yawned

"It's a little after one A.M."

"Oh, ok, well let me go put her into bed and we can talk."

"Let me take her. You've been doing it the last few days."

I gently lifted the little girl off her father's chest, and carried her upstairs. When I came back down he was sitting on the couch. He'd turned off the TV and turned on the table lamp. I sat down beside him and snuggled into his side.

"So, how did things go?" he asked

"Fine. We got to study the device and it's power source."

"Do you think it could work for us?"

"Chances are good. They gave us materials to build a smaller version so we can test it."

"Oh, I bet you're looking forward to that" he said grinning at me.

"Yeah, it guarantees me a few weeks on Earth."

"Ah, well, I know a little girl who'll be thrilled to hear that. She asked me everyday when you were coming home."

"I missed her too. That's my biggest problem with going off world. Before she was born it wasn't so bad, but now, I'm afraid I'm going to miss some major even in her life. I think this last mission was the hardest one I've been on in a long time."

"You know you can always request to be taken off SG-1. That way you wouldn't have to worry about missing anything. I've actually been kicking around the idea myself."

"Really?" I asked, "why didn't you say anything before?"

"Well I've just been thinking about it the last few days. Especially when Claire asked when she was getting a little sister."

"What?!" I asked sitting up in shock.

He laughed and said, "Oh yeah. We were at the park the other day and she was playing with some other kids, apparently one of them was talking about their little sister and how she was fun to play with. Claire told me that she wanted a little sister of her own to play with."

"Maybe she'll forget about it in a few days. I was thinking about taking her to the zoo tomorrow since I haven't seen her in three days. We can make it a family outing if you don't have to go to the base."

"I'm all yours tomorrow."

"Good, because I missed you too and I can't remember the last time just the three of us did something."

"I know" he yawned.

"Well, we can talk more about it in the morning. Let's go to bed" I said.

"Sounds good to me Mrs. Jackson. You go a head upstairs and I'll lock up" he said.

He offered me a hand and pulled me up. When I got to my feet he pulled me close and wrapped his arms around my waist. I pressed my face into his chest inhaling his scent. We stood like that for a few moments until I pulled back, I looked up to see him smiling down at me. I couldn't help but smile back as I snaked my arms around his neck. I ran my fingers though is hair as I gently lowered his head down to mine. "I love you Sam" he whispered just before his lips descended on mine. The kiss started out slow and passionate, but quickly turned into a hungry needy one. I finally had to end the kiss to catch my breath. "I love you too Daniel" I whispered giving him a quick kiss. We went our separate ways, I picked up the stuff I'd dropped inside the door and went upstairs. Once in our room I unpacked my bag and got ready for bed. By the time I finished in the bathroom Daniel as in bed waiting. I quickly crossed the room and got in bed. I laid down facing him and pulled the blankets over me.

"It'll be nice to have you to wake up to in the morning" he said.

"Yeah, well, Claire is probably gong to be up very early, so we should get some sleep."

"Ya know, for the last three mornings she's been up and coming in here before six A.M. to see if you were home. The last two mornings she ended up sleeping the rest of the morning in here."

"This was the first time I've been gone overnight in a long time, and the last for a while I hope."

"Me too, we'll talk more about this tomorrow. I can barely keep my eyes open."

"Alright" I said "love you."

"Love you too Sam."

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

A few hours later I was awakened by someone climbing into the bed. I opened my eyes and lifted my head off the pillow. I knew it was Claire. I laid my head back down as she continued onto the bed. She crawled up to lay in between Daniel and me. When she realized I was there she threw her little arms around my neck and whispered " mommy you home."

"Yes baby, mommy's home" I replied kissing her on the cheek. "Let's get you back in your bed. It's too early to get up. I'll be here in the morning when you get up. Ok sweetie?"

"'K mommy."

I gathered her up and took her back to bed. Once she was tucked in I returned to my room to find the bed empty. I was about to turn around when I felt his strong arms envelope me form behind. He kissed me on the cheek and continued to trail kisses along my neck. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It felt so good to be in his arms. I felt safe and happy. Daniel was the love of my life and I'm very lucky to have found him. A few seconds later I realized that his arms were no longer around me. Instead he was gently pulling me towards the bed. "You need more sleep, if you expect to keep up with Claire tomorrow."

"I know." We got back in bed and I quickly drifted off to sleep.
