Needing You, a stargate: sg-1 fanfic

"My Daniel", he mutters under his breath. "That's how she thinks of me, 'My Daniel', but I always let her down". He rests his arms on the bed rail and stares at her face. He's looking because he likes –loves- to; after all, he's already memorized it.

she thinks i walk on water
she thinks i hung the moon
she tells me every mornin
they just don't make men like you
she thinks i've got it together
she swears i'm as tough as nails
but i don't have the heart to tell her
that she don't know me that well

"He's been there for hours", says Cam as he leans against the door. "He won't leave her side. It's not his fault you know."

'Indeed", says Teal'c. "But I do not believe DanielJackson agrees with you."

she don't know how much i need her
she don't know i'd fall apart
without her kiss
without her touch
without her faithful lovin arms
she don't know that its all about her
she don't know i cant live without her
she's my world she's my everything
and she thinks she needs me

Daniel looked down at Vala as she slept. It hurt him to see her with so many wires connected to her body. The beeping of the monitors was a constant nagging in the background. Nothing like the noise she made while trying to amuse herself in his office. He now realized he found those sounds comforting. Daniel touched her shoulder softly. "Please Vala. Please get better."

sometimes she cries on my shoulder
when she's layin next to me
but she don't know that when i hold her
that she's really holdin me
holdin me

The damn monitors. He couldn't sleep for their beeping. Rubbing his eyes he grabs for his coffee mug. As he begins to rise from his chair by her bed, Vala shifts under the sheets. Putting the mug down Daniel leans in over her. "Vala," he whispers. When she blinks and looks up at him he reaches down to caress her cheek. "I'm sorry Vala. It-"

"Wasn't your fault," she interrupts softly. Closing her eyes she leans her head into his hand and whispers, "Daniel." Teary eyed she looks up at him, "My Daniel."

The halls were deserted as Daniel walked down to Vala's room. Dr. Lam had released her earlier that day but gave strict orders for her to take it easy and stay in bed. Daniel himself was under orders to make sure she did. He felt exhausted, but he couldn't sleep. He had to see her and make sure she was alright. He stopped outside her door and stared at it. Clenching the small box tighter in his fist, he steeled himself and slipped into the room. There was so much he needed to tell her.

yea now the funny thing is
she thinks she's the lucky one
