Family Reunion Anastasia's Story

SG2 had been of world for a little over a week helping the Tok'Ra move into their new home and learning how to use their allies equipment and weaponry, the team had returned to Earth for a short break to debrief and decided to catch a bite to eat while the General looked over their reports, " This cold just won't shift " I moaned to my commanding officer.

" So you've told me for the millionth time " She sighed, I bet she was thinking that the woman sounded like a scratched record.

" Sorry " I smiled sympathetically, " I seem to be saying that a lot lately too." I said to myself.

" Will you stop feeling sorry for yourself, no-one ever died from a cold " The Colonel bit at me just before I passed out.


I woke up in the infirmary with Dr Frasier standing over me looking very worried, " What's up doc " I still felt awful but at least tried to laugh at my own joke, but still the Dr looked at me with that same worried expression as she finished her tests, " See I still have my sense of humour " I tell her and try to lighten the moment but unfortunately I fail miserably.

" She's awake " The Doc tells the most gorgeous guy I've have ever clapped eyes on, he stepped forward and introduced himself as Malek of the Tok'Ra, the name was familiar and I searched my memory frantically before it finally dawned on me, he was the base commander of the base that we were helping move, why would a base commander want to visit a member of the SGC that is full up with a cold? " Pleased to meet you Malek, to what do I owe the pleasure? "

" You are very ill, we have come to offer you a chance to prolong your life" He notified me, matter of factly and with absolutely no emotion whatsoever, whatever happened to breaking the news gently? I wondered.

I look at him blankly " OK, now I know I've been harping on about this bloody cold for what seems to be an eternity, but don't you think your taking this joke a little to far " Alright, I'm not usually so snappy and I can take a joke just as well as the next person, but this one just didn't strike me funny somehow, maybe I am loosing my sense of humour after all.

" It's no Joke Ana " Dr Frasier told me, she tried to smile but I can see by the look on her face that it's bad, " I'm at a loss, I can honestly say that I don't know what's wrong with you, you have all the symptoms of a cold but I've never seen a cold attack all the major organs to the point of failure, at least if you take Malek's offer you will live to a ripe old age "

It just wouldn't sink in and I agreed to the offer without even thinking it through, the only option was death and to be honest with you that scared the hell out of me " When do we leave?" I heard myself asking, everything was strange it was almost as if I was outside of my body looking at everything as it happened.

" Get dressed, we leave within the hour " Malek told me then left us alone so that I or rather we could sort me out, at this point I just didn't have the energy to even sit up.

" Why do they always have to be so over the top " I whisper in Janet's ear, she laughed and he scowled , "whoops, must have better hearing than I thought, oh well, I'll make it up to him later" I remember thinking at the time.


There was no time to go home and pack, the Stargate was already active when I got into the gate room, we stepped up the ramp and I took one last look around before I walked through it. There was a woman waiting for us on the other side, this one looked familiar but I couldn't quite place the face, I must be loosing my mind as well.

" Garshaw, this is Anastasia, she is to be A'neshe's new host "

" Greetings Anastasia, welcome to Seren " Garshaw smiled for me but I get the feeling that she doesn't get to smile often, I remember thinking that this woman was going to have me for breakfast, boy did she make me nervous.

" Thank you " I replied, heavens I am very, very, nervous, and it doesn't help that I've been placed in Malek's care, hell, he must think I'm a dithering idiot.

Malek carried me into one of the med chambers and laid me gently onto a sleeping platform, I tried to sit up but was told to lay back down, I had to stop myself from uttering something that is bound to embarrass us both, my sense of humour Isn't what I would call clean at the best of times.

" I will be back shortly " He notified me and with that he turned and walked out of the room.

" What's wrong with me ?, I'm acting like a school girl with her first crush " I sighed to myself and I tried to relax but those butterflies just wouldn't stop flitting around my stomach and to make matters worse my head was starting to spin again, " Ughh, stop the ride, I want to get off" I said out loud confusing the hell out of the guard that was with me, poor man, he must have thought I had gone round the twist.

A moment later and Malek returned with A'neshe in tow, now those butterflies had taken to wearing Doc Martins, did I mention I was nervous?

" Lay back, try to relax and open your mouth " Malek ordered me.

" You know, you have no bedside manor what so ever " I teased him, he just looked at me confused, " Aw bless " I couldn't help it, he looked so cute and now he was the one that was beginning to look nervous, that was It I had to laugh but unfortunately he took this as an insult and saw this as a perfectly good time to give me A'neshe. Well that definitely shut me up, " sneaky little..., " Was about all I could think before A'neshe started to sedate me, I'm going to have to watch this one " I remember thinking, much to A'neshe's amusement, I remember hearing her laughing just before we both fell asleep and our healing process started.
