Happy Birthday
"A birthday is supposed to be fun." Vala, sitting on Daniel's desk, whined.
"This is fun." He didn't even look up from his translation.
"But it's work." The raven haired alien whined.
"Yes, but I like it."
"Then take a short break and take a walk with me." Vala flipped her hair and flashed her naturally infectious smile. No man could resist it.
Daniel sighed, "fine."
As they walked throughout the base Daniel had the feeling he was being deceived into walking with her. Entranced by Vala's company, a fact which he would never let her know, he decided not mention anything.
When they reached Daniel's office and opened the door he had gotten to the point where he half expected SG-1's other three members to jump out from the nooks and crannies to yell 'surprise,' but, thankfully, not one of them materialized.
Vala, however, was acting quite fidgety. "Happy birthday Daniel."
"What's wrong?" at her surprised look he explained, you're fidgeting."
"Ah, well…" Vala thought for moment. "I believe it is one of your earth customs to give people a gift on their birthday. And, well, I was unsure about what to get you. So, I decided upon this." Daniel looked confused when she just stood staring at him for a moment. Then she kissed him softly.
The kiss was by no means passionate but, by no means was it chaste. However, it was absolutely perfect.
Vala pulled away quickly. "Yes, well, I will be here at 1900 hours to bring you to your party." She then exited hastily.
Daniel Spent the next three hours thinking about the kiss instead of doing his work.
"Daniel?" He heard her voice calling him through the thin door.
"Come in." His voice harbored a slightly noticeable nervous tremor.
"Hi." She had dressed up and she looked gorgeous.
"Wow." He whispered, his throat dry from the sight.
"We need to talk." With out a breath she went straight into an explanation. "What I did earlier was unprofessional and inappropriate and I'm sorry have occurred and it won't happen again."
"No." The word came from Daniel but he had no memory of authorizing them to come out.
"What?" Now it was her turn to whisper.
"I love you." Again the words did not come from him, but he had more of consciousness about letting them out. "And I want to be with you." With the he finally kissed her back.

"Where the heck are they?" Mitchell asked.
"First of all, I'm pretty sure Vala told Daniel about the party. And second, Vala went to get him." Sam commented.
"What could have happened?" Then, suddenly, it dawned on him. "You don't think…"
He trailed off.
"Finally." Sam answered.
"Indeed."
