INFIRMARY
Daniel was still holding a bedside vidual for Vala. He was reminiscing about how Vala finally became one of the SG1 team; how she had proven over and over how valuable a member she had become.
Vala had saved his life today; she didn't even hesitate to protect him from harm. It was so ironic from the way she acted when they first met. She was always thinking about treasure to find, what it would benefit her, and worry about the consequences later.
This was no longer the Vala he wanted to strangle most of the time. Vala was a member of the team; his family. Vala made him think about caring for someone again. He didn't want to admit he had feelings for Vala other than contempt, but as time went on he started to see her as a caring, intelligent individual whose bubbly, flirtatious countenance was infectious.
Dr. Lam came in to check on Vala's vitals. "Dr. Jackson, Dr. Jackson.
"Huh."
"I need to check on Vala why don't you go get something to eat? " I'll let you know if there is any change.
"Alright, I won't be gone long. "I'll inform SG1 there's no change and be in my office. Daniel hesitated.
"Can you please let us know the slightest change in Vala's condition?
"No problem, I'll let Col Mitchell know that you will return if anything develops.
Daniel returned to his office, sat down and stared at the walls. It hit him finally, Vala may die without knowing how he felt about her, he had lost Share' and never properly said goodbye. He couldn't lose her, not this way. Daniel left his office, he had to return to the infirmary, he needed to be by Valas' side no matter what.
INFIRMARY
Valas condition was not improving, Dr. Lam had increased her medication, but nothing was working. She contacted Col Mitchell on Vala's condition and was on her way to contact Daniel and the rest of the SG1.
Vala was hearing voices, she was in pain, and she wanted to see Daniel. She heard Adria's voice. "Mother, mother let me help you, I feel you slipping away, please, let me help you, where are you?
Vala hazily remembered the previous conversation with Adria, that she would not harm Daniel or this planet if she went with her.
Adria, Adria, can you hear me?
"Yes." Mother.
"I'm here at headquarters on earth, can you find me?
"Yes, I know where you are now. I'm sure this planet will give me a warm welcome.
"Adria, please do not hurt any of these people, I'll go with you peacefully.
"I'll be there soon mother, I am pleased that you will be with me.
Adria's ship arrived outside the earth's atmosphere; I did not take long before Gen Landry was alerted. The control room to the Stargate was alerted to incoming unauthorized wormhole. Col Mitchell was in the control room. Teal'c, Sam and Daniel had been alerted and on their way to the control room. The marines were on alert in the Stargate room weapons ready.
Adria stepped through to the surprise of SG1. She held her hand up and all the marines' weapons were thrown against the wall.
"Stop" "I've only come to heal my mother and take her with me; no harm will come to you and your planet. I have promised my mother that no harm will come to any of your people, including you Dr. Jackson.
Daniel shot back, "No, this is a trick, Vala would never tell you where we are located, she's unconscious.
"I have a connection with my mother Dr. Jackson, you are aware of this. This is not your concern, where is my mother? "I can feel her dying, do you want that to happen to her Dr. Jackson? "Do you care so little about my mother that you are willing to let her die when I can save her.
"She's not dying, you're lying.
Col Mitchell touched Daniel on the shoulder. "Daniel, Dr. Lam contacted me just before we arrived, she told me that Vala is not recovering from her wounds, she … she may be dying.
Daniel could not believe what he was hearing, Vala, dying. No, this can't be happening again. Everyone in the control room was staring at Daniel, he was physically flushed.
"No, that's not true, I need to see her.
Adria could hear everything that was said, her patience was wearing thin.
Dr. Jackson, Daniel turned toward Adria.
"I don't need your permission; I "will" see my mother. Adria walked towards the infirmary, she could sense her mother's presence and proceeded to the infirmary by Vala's bedside.
Col Mitchell ordered everyone to stand down, make no hostile action towards Adria unless under my strict orders. Tealc',Sam stay here in the control room just in case there are any other unauthorized wormholes. "Dr. Jackson, come with me
Daniel and Col Mitchell arrived in the infirmary hot on Adria's heal. Dr. Lam was about to confront Adria when Col Mitchell motioned her into the hallway.
"Dr. Lam stay back, this is Vala's daughter she is with the Ori, she said she can heal Vala.
"Col Mitchell, I normally do not let anyone mess with my patients, but if she can help, I will not interfere. I was about to contact you again, Vala's vitals are not good. She was lapsing into a coma.
Daniel came up behind Dr. Lam and heard her prognosis on Vala. He had to admit to himself, he was scared. Vala had meant more to him than he wanted to admit. He couldn't understand how Vala could contact Adria and lead her to earth. There were a lot of questions and emotions coming to surface and right now and his concern right now was on Vala.
Adria's waved her hand over Vala's body and closed her eyes. Vala began to moan, all the tubes inserted in her, suddenly dropped away. Vala began to slowly open her eyes and speak.
"Ad-ria, Dani-el, what … don't hurt them, please Adria you promised.
Daniel could not believe his ears. She had betrayed them. That's all he could think about. She had betrayed his trust, not just him, SG1, everyone on earth. How could she?
Daniel was seething; he left the infirmary and headed towards the control room.
Vala looked up and caught Daniel's face, he was totally angry and he then turned and left. She looked at Col Mitchell and Dr. Lam. Disappointment was written on their faces. Vala had come a long way to gain their trust, and now, it was gone. All her work to be accepted into this new world, a new home, gone.
"Mother, Vala looked towards Adria, "It is time to leave, there is nothing for you here now, "come."
Vala knew what Adria was speaking was true now. Vala was still weak. Adria had to support her mother up from the bed. No one moved to interfere or assist Vala. Adria and Vala moved towards the Stargate room. Vala could see the pain of betrayal written on the personal they passed. They finally reached the Stargate room; Vala looked up towards the control room booth. Gen Landry was now there looking down at Vala also. She could see that he looked like everyone else she passed. Then she caught Daniel's eyes. The hurt and anger in his eyes were too much to bear. She looked away. In her mind she could only think of getting Adria away from earth, Daniel, her friends, her family, Tealc', Sam, Col Mitchell and especially her Daniel.
