A/N: I know I said the previous chapter would be the last of The Last of Us, (see what I did there?) But this has been muttering to me while I try to sleep at night. So, congrats, you've got mail! I'd like for you to make sure you've read the first chapter well before reading this second one, I only wrote this to give it a happy ending, though I would have much preferred it keeping the previous 'sad' ending.
The Last of Us
Chapter Two
Daniel re-holstered his weapon upon arrival at the SGC. Stepping through the Stargate over the years had become something of the norm, something Daniel Jackson rarely worried about on a daily basis. Though, there was that time where friend and comrade Teal'c got stuck in the gate; something which none of the SG-1 team would appreciate being reminded of. And whenever there was a newcomer to Stargate Command - they always asked if they would return in one piece.

"Daniel!" She motioned over both their shoulders to his arrival and gave a bemused smile to one of them. "You see? I knew he was coming, call it a woman's intuition. Or something..." Vala was wearing a short sleeved black t-shirt, dark jeans, and a pair of biker boots. Her hair was still in its wild, untamed state, though he had to admit there was something different about her. That was when she turned to the side squeeze past both burly men.
"You're pregnant?" He hushed when she was almost toe to toe with him.
"Of course I am." She held his hand and pressed it to the slight rounding of her belly. "This child's yours as much as mine."
It took him a second to realize what she meant and splayed his fingers across her stomach. He bend down slightly and kissed her on the lips. "Let's go somewhere more private."
"Holy Hannah!" Samantha muttered still a few feet away from the open maw of the Stargate as Mitchell stood agape and looked from Sam's expression; bottom lip caught between her teeth and Teal'c's ever solemn expression. "I do not wanna be next door to them tonight." Cam feared.
