Having to have a camera crew on base was irritating. But, it had its benefits. Daniel had enjoyed making them follow him down the hallway at a sprint. And whatever he had been trying to imply towards their annoying leader, was lost in the priceless look on his face when he read the report of his ascension. He had laughed madly about that later with the rest of his team. When you had died as many times as he had, it started to become a sport when you told someone.
Something was wrong…
Their dodgy, half fun time screwing with the camera men had been cut short. They had to go extract a team. The fire-fight was getting out of hand It was bad, a medical team had gone with them. It was hard to see, difficult hear as well. P90's and staff weapons crashed and shot around them. Janet was with him as they made their rounds of the battlefield, helping wounded soldiers.
Janet was his friend, something was just wrong.
Damn that man, Daniel had brought a camera with him. He didn't really know why. He supposed the dieing man in front of him was the reason. His wife was pregnant, Daniel was talking to him, convincing him that he would live. The solider didn't think so. Daniel took out his camera, the man wanted his dieing words on tape. But he would be fine, he was stable.
He felt cold.
Several staff blasts flew past him, he looked up to check on Janet. Why didn't he let go of the camera? Another blast was fired, striking Janet. He cried out in anguish and crawled over to her body. This couldn't be happening. But something was wrong, this wasn't his Janet. Yet it was, he reached out tentatively to touch her blood stained face. Tears blurred his vision, this was not happening. His beautiful Janet was gone, he wouldn't see her smile again.
"Daniel?" The voice grew more urgent. "Daniel?"
He gasped his way back into consciousness. "Janet."
"I'm right here Daniel-" he wrapped his arms around her, as if to reassure himself. She was very concerned now. "Daniel, what's wrong?"
"Just a dream." He closed his eyes, trying to catch his breath. "Just a dream." He wouldn't let go of her. Some part of him seemed to believe his dream was real.
"Hey Janet." Carter sat down across from her friend. "Are you alright?"
There was a biscuit and a mug of coffee in front of her, but Sam had a suspicion she hadn't even touched either thing since she set them on the table.
"It's just, Daniel had this dream last night, and then when we finally got back to sleep I woke up ten minutes later close to vomiting."
Same was thrown off by the tired voice in which the news was presented. "Bad dream?"
"A Jaffa shot me. He was so worried… he though it had been real." A sad smile appeared on her face.
"Oh Janet…"
"It's ok Sam, we're both doing fine." They had gone to bed on much better terms then their restless night had presented. She had Daniel had told them they were, in fact, already married. They were happy for them, but very annoyed that they had not been invited to the wedding. They had to make copies of all the pictures to sate their need to know how things went. Even Teal'c had wanted a set of the photos.
Cassandra seemed to take the news rather well. Janet and Daniel had a sneaking feeling she had known before they let on. Kids always found a way of finding things out. It was strange habit they would have to live with. Janet and Cassandra had moved in with Daniel. They were still in the process of unpacking everything, but for now they were at least settling in.
"You don't look too good Janet." Sam was worried. Janet looked pale.
Daniel set a tray down, and noticing Janet's uncolored face, wrapped an arm around her. He whispered something into her ear, and rested his chin on her head. He began rubbing her back, and though it had the desired calming affect, it didn't make her feel any better. She had to leave the tale to go throw-up.
Sam watched her go, concerned. "She looks really sick."
"She'll be fine." Daniel started eating.
Same narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Daniel, I am not waiting a year to learn about this."
"A year? Unless you are very unobservant Sam, it should only take you nine months."
She felt like hitting him, but was too happy and ended up hugging him instead.
"What's this?" Jack had showed up with Teal'c. Teal'c's eyebrow had gone up on seeing Sam crushing the air out of Daniel.
Once she let go of him, Daniel rubbed his sides before replying. "Janet's pregnant, and Sam is obviously overjoyed."
Jack was happy enough to share the cake he had been about to eat with him. Teal'c congratulated him with the bow of his head, and Janet was shocked that by the time she made it back to the commissary, the entire base seemed to know she was pregnant.
"I shouldn't have told him." She muttered to herself, but a smile was on her lips none-the-less as she thought of the man she loved.
-WEE! Well, that was a fun ride.. I'm going to have to write a squeal! -has just started it-
