A/N: I am very sorry how long it took me to write and post this but things have been a little crazy with getting ready for college, which is in another state rather then the one my mother lives it so settling down has been a littel difficult. Also I started classes two weekes ago so it been a little hetic getting ready fo rthat but hopefully now I will be able to update it more often. Like it the previouse story Vala and Inari can comunicate telepatically which is written in italics. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please read and review.
Chapter 2
Their five pairs of eyes were just staring at me looking for the answer as if just looking at me would cause one of them to have an epiphany and realize what was wrong with Teal'c. I couldn't say didn't know what to say about Teal'c. Somewhere in my head I knew what was wrong with him but getting it out was the problem. Connecting that part of my brain that knew everything and that part of my brain that could process it and understand it was the problem.
"I don't know," I said softly but loud enough for them to hear. It was honestly the truth I didn't know I couldn't tell him but it felt like a lie. Like I had just lied to the people who I have worked so hard to gain their trust and I know that I have lied or not said anything but this is different almost as if I'm ripping out their heart. That's when I realized it, I mean had noticed it before but this time I really noticed it. Teal'c was their heart and soul and that by not knowing what was wrong with him I was killing him. It didn't feel good to know that, to know that you're killing the heart and soul of this family. I know that Teal'c shares being the heart and soul with Daniel but if Teal'c died Daniel and the rest of the team would crumble and if that happened, it would be my fault. It would mean that I failed them and I could do that because Teal'c is everything to them and I risking my life would be worth it. For him. Because he's their heart and soul and that, that's worth everything
"What do you mean you don't know?" asked Daniel. I could feel it part of him braking, part of all of them. That's all it took, a couple of cracks and they could crumble forever.
"I thought that you knew everything," said Mitchell stating a fact not asking if I knew everything. I could feel it the cracks. I could hear it in all of them but it didn't make sense none of it did. It couldn't be right.
"I do and somewhere in my brain I know what's wrong with him but I can't process it," I replied still shaking, hoping my words made some sense.
"What do you mean you can't process it?" asked Sam.
"I know everything, yes but that is a lot of information to understand," I replied. "It's easier for me to actually know and understand the past but the present and the future are less certain always changing. I can concentrate on that but it takes a while to process and understand what it's telling me."
"Oh can you find out what's wrong with him?" asked Sam. Vala stood there just looking at me wondering if there was something else going on.
'Inari what's going on?' asked Vala telepathically.
'It's the truth I can't really tell I know it's bad but there is no point in telling them that when don't know for sure what's going on,' I replied. "Yes I can find out what's wrong with him but I need to see him, to examine him. Is that okay?" I was looking at Doctor Lam and I could see the uncertainty written all over her face.
"I guess it's okay just don't spend to long he's still recovering from surgery," said Doctor Lam and she led the way to Teal'c's bed. He honestly didn't know look good. I could feel me head cock to the right because of this sudden energy that flowed to me feeding me this information. I walked up to Teal'c's said leaving the others behind me and I put my right hand on his forehead. I put my left hand on his chest over his heard and closed my eyes letting the energy and knowledge flow through me. I could feel the odd mix of the heat and the cold not mixed together in its entirety but separate and yet together. With a sudden and unexpected push of energy I stumbled backwards with a gasp. Push of energy that seemed at home but distant and old but young it didn't make any sense none of this did. Something that didn't belong.
"What is it Inari?" asked Vala worried because of my shaking. My whole body was shaking like I had spent too much time outside it the beginning of winter. I was breathing heavily as if I had run miles but I hadn't and I certainly was not expecting what I saw and felt. I had to deal with something like this few times in the Tau'ri's history but this felt so different. Alien to an alien that has seen, heard, and felt everything. Something that was wrong but felt right like it had been the right thing to do instead of the wrong that I knew it was you don't do things like that it messes with the order of things. Things thrown out of context or but in another or disappearing altogether.
"I'm alright," I replied very softly and if it wasn't for my ability to read minds I would have thought they didn't hear me.
"Do you know what's wrong him his?" asked Mitchell and in all their minds they were asking the same question.
"Yes I do," I replied, "but I don't know if I can save him.
