Two weeks later in the gate room General Landry walks in to the gate room saying, "I pulled some strings at the IOA and your request was expedited..."

"It seems they don't want their involvement in certain events made public."

Standing with the General, Daniel and Vala await everyone's arrival in the gate room. Ginning at General Landry Vala says, "A man after my own hart General... you blackmailed them."

Mocking a scow he looks at Vala General Landry's repels is "Blackmail... is such an ugly word Vala..." Shrugging his shoulders the general said, "I merely reminded them what roll they played in the Goa'uld gaining a foothold here on earth!"

Moments later Jack O'Neill quietly walks behind them in saying "And how we handed them there six on a platter?"

Daniel asks, "Jack... where is Sam?"

Off to the side by the Stargate itself she stands in her Air Force dress uniform Samantha said, "Right here Daniel."

Daniel looks at Vala asking her softly "Ready to become Mrs. Jackson"

With a Smile Vala puts her hand on belly saying "Y-es, for a very long time"

Dr Carolyn Lam walks into the gate room Vala asks her "Carolyn, Gate travel will not hurt the baby..., will it?"

Smiling Carolyn says "No, not at all Vala."

From out of nowhere, Morgan La Fay does not stride so much as float into the room shifting from a state of pure energy to physical being telling Vala "I will make sure of that..., for the trip through the gate will be safe for the babies."

Vala's jaw drops as she looks at Morgan asking "babies... as in more than one"

"I can't tell you that Vala" Said Morgan "Ask Daniel"

Daniel thought to himself, I distinctly heard you say babies Morgan... the implacations are clear on that one!

Morgan gives Vala a reassuring look telling the group, "I will take both Vala and her unborn under my protection for duration of the trip."

Carolyn Lam asks Morgan "Wouldn't that be considered interfering?"

Morgan reminds her "I am only providing safe conduct Dr. Lam... as we used to when people proved themselves worthy to visit Atlantis ages ago!"

Daniel states wide eyed "Wait a moment Morgan are you saying we have proven worthy of Atlantis."

Morgan replies to Daniel's question, "Of receiving my gifts yes."

Vala smiles as she says, "I like the sound of that."

Cameron, Samantha, and Teal'c walks in

General Landry calls out "Activate the dialing sequence."

Morgan smiles, at General Landry telling him "No need for that General Landry." With a wave her hand she activated the dialing sequence the gate starts moving locking in the symbols to "The Atlantis Gate "

Cameron Mitchell blurted out "Neat trick have to show me how to do that!"

Morgan narrows her gaze grinning like a Cheshire cat at Colonel Mitchell saying, "It's no trick... I assure you!"

Daniel looks at Cameron clearing his throat telling Cameron "Meet Morgan le Fay!"

Turning white as a sheet Cameron looks at Daniel asking "As in defeated Adria?"

Nodding his head Daniel tells him "Yes..., one in the same."

Cameron nervously says "O-O-H-H-H!" Feeling as if he should crawl under a rock Colonel Mitchell wisely decided to shut up

Morgan asks the group "Shall we go!"


Moments later they all walked up the causeway to the gate walking through; they step out on Atlantis, greeted by none other than Colonel John Sheppard announcing "Welcome to Atlantis." As he gives Morgan the once over looking her up and then down. Morgan tells Colonel Sheppard "I am from Atlantis colonel as the Atlantian sensors will soon verify..., my Atlantian name was Ganos Lal."

Colonel Sheppard says only "Rest up we will have the wedding tomorrow!"

In his earpiece, he hears the message telling him, "Our Ancients sensors just went off at your location!

Colonel Sheppard replies, "I know I am having a conversation with her now!" She came here with the earth delegation!

Gathering their wits after arriving on Atlantis the last thing Morgan le Fay stated before they went through the gate registers in Vala's thoughts "Babies..., Plural" as her hand moves over her belly


5 minutes later Daniel said, "Come on their holding a banquette in our honor!"

Vala eyelids were starting to droop, her plaintive, painful eyebrows hung low on her face and bags started to appear along the bottom of her eyes. Her shoulders and head start to slump forward.

Dipping down Daniel scoops her up in both arms saying softly come on let's get you to our quarters. Daniel thinks to himself "Tomorrow we will see what the Atlantis Medical scanner can tell us."

Reaching their quarters, Daniel hits citywide communications contacting John Shepard telling him we will be there in about 2 hours Vala needs some rest. Looking around Daniel finds a note saying

You are staying in my old quarters Daniel they have one of the best views in Atlantis

Morgan

Two hours later the Wedding Banquette finally gets underway as Daniel and Vala walk into the Mess hall with its elaborate decor. Filled with new sights and smells to tempt the pallet
