Vala slumped against the wall after Adria left, and placed her head in her hands. Daniel walked over to her and knelt down in front of her. He placed his hand on her head and softly brushed her soft hair.

"Vala," He whispered.

"It's all wrong, Daniel." She whispered back as she raised her head to look at him.

Daniel looked at her questionably. "What's all wrong?"

"What we are doing, Daniel, that is what is wrong."

"Vala…"

"I know what you are going to say, Daniel. We have to complete this mission or the entire galaxy will suffer."

"That is not what I was going to say, Vala. I was going to say; I feel it too."

Vala looked into his eyes, shocked.

He continued, "I have never been comfortable with taking life, anybody's life, and now I am terrified of taking an innocent child's, even if this child is part Ori and part Goa'uld."

"That is not the only reason, Daniel. That child is a part of me, a part of Adria. How can I kill my own grandchild? I couldn't even kill my own child."

"I understand. When Shifu was born, I knew he would be dangerous, and yet I couldn't kill him because he was a part of Sha're." He replied, sitting fully on the ground and taking his hands into hers.

"You know the worst part, Daniel?" Vala said, looking up at Daniel. He shook his head. "She is in love."

It was Daniel's turn to be shocked. "With Ba'al" He asked.

Vala nodded.

"That's impossible. How can she love that thing?"

Vala shrugged. "I saw the way she looked at him, and the way he looked at her. He is in love with her too."

Daniel looked down at their hands still joined.

"Daniel, I have been thinking. What if Adria could be convinced to stop the Crusade? What if she and Ba'al could be…?"

"Stop right there, Vala. Remember you tried that once before and it didn't work. What makes you think it will?"

"Because Adria will be a mother soon, and every mother wants what is best for her child. The moment she was born, I knew I wanted what was best for her, but I was torn. She was part of the Ori, but she was also a part of me. As she grew I realized, I had to protect her, but I couldn't because of what she was."

"You regret not being in her life and staying with her when she asked you too." Daniel asked with a twinge of sadness.

Vala nodded. "I guess it is every mother's wish for their child to be good and decent," She paused. "But don't think for a minute that I regret being with you, Daniel Jackson." She said with a smile.

Daniel smiled back and gently caressed her face. "I don't regret a single minute with you, Vala mal Doran."

Vala leaned forward and gave Daniel a sweet, gentle kiss before wrapping her arms around him. They sat there for what seemed like ages, until again they heard footsteps. They looked up to see a prior standing in front of them.

"The Orici wishes for her mother and Dr. Jackson to be present at this time. Her child is coming."

Vala's heart went into overdrive. Her and Daniel stood up together and walked forward. Daniel passed Teal'c and gave a nod to him.

Teal'c had heard the entire conversation, and his heart went out to Vala mal Doran. He hoped there was another way around it, for her sake.

Adria lay in her bed gripping the sheets beside her. Another contraction hit her like a wave, stronger than the last one. She looked up at Ba'al, and saw the worried look on his face.

"Don't look so worried, dear. Women have been doing this for centuries and beyond."

"My dear, I cannot help, but to feel worry. I don't want to lose you." He said gently placing his hand on her head.

She smiled at him, a genuine smile. This was the man she had fallen for; she had finally admitted it to herself that she loved him. Even though she hated the fact he had a snake in his head, she saw the man within.

"I love you, Ba'al." She whispered as another contraction hit her.

Ba'al smiled. "I love you, Adria." He leaned down and kissed her, while gently placing his other hand on her stomach.

The doors opened and Adria saw Vala and Daniel enter her room.

"Welcome mother," Adria said in a groan.

Vala stepped forward and walked to her daughter's bedside.

"How are you feeling, Adria?" She asked with genuine concern.

Adria looked at her mother in shock. "You really care for me don't you?"

Vala nodded. "You are my daughter. Even though you have done some horrible things, you will always be my daughter."

Adria had tears form in her eyes. She had wanted to hear her mother say those words to her ever since she was brought into the world.

Daniel watched the interaction and felt a twinge of sadness in his heart.

"That is not what you said before…Oh…" Adria groaned as she gripped Ba'al's hand tighter.

"Hang on, my sweet." He whispered worry lining his features.

Adria nodded with a reassuring smile towards him.

Vala took a deep breath. "I didn't mean what I said before. I was talking from the pain, not from my heart."

Adria looked at her mother.

"I meant what I said as Zanuth, mother. I do care for you, despite everything that has transpired I love you, mother." Adria said with a smile.

Vala felt her heart get lighter at her words. "I love you too, Adria." Vala replied. She bent down and kissed Adria for the first time, and smiled.

"Mother, there is something else you, all of you, need to know." Adria began, but paused as another contraction came.

Ba'al held onto her as she bit back a scream. He looked up to Vala and she knew he truly worried for her. She felt Daniel coming to stand beside her and she grasped his hand.

"What is it, Adria?" Vala asked, worriedly.

"I am no longer the Orici." Adria said as tears fell from her eyes.

Vala stepped back and gripped Daniel harder than ever at Adria's words. Ba'al wiped Adria's forehead with clothe.

"What do you mean; you are no longer the Orici?" Daniel asked, holding Vala close.

"I am no longer the Orici. I gave it up when I came with child."

"How can you give it up?" Daniel asked.

Adria looked at Ba'al and smiled at him. He smiled back.

"When I came with child, the laws and powers of the Ori no longer mattered. I could not carry on the legacy of the Ori while being pregnant outside of marriage."

"So the Ori took away your powers?" Vala asked.

Adria nodded, and groaned.

"How can they do that if the Ori are dead?" Vala asked Daniel, who shrugged.

"They programmed it inside my genetic makeup." Adria said, gripping tightly to Ba'al's hand and the sheets.

"To keep you from disobeying their laws" Daniel replied.

Adria nodded. "I am still human. I still have their knowledge, but soon that too will be lost. My child will carry that knowledge as well as the knowledge of the Goa'uld."

"Even the child won't have the knowledge for long." Ba'al said, wiping Adria's forehead again.

"What do you mean?" Vala asked.

"The Ori never intended for the Orici to give birth to a child, so the knowledge will not be permanent." Adria said.

"How can you lose your powers if you are part Ori?" Vala asked, stepping forward again.

"I gave up that part when I became pregnant."

"Why would you give up that part?"

"Because mother, I fell in love." Adria said looking up at Ba'al.

"I still don't get how you can fall in love with this thing?" Vala said gesturing to Ba'al.

"I am not the same man as I was years ago, Quetesh or Vala. I have turned my back on the others because of my involvement with Adria. When I fell in love with her, I knew I had to protect her with my life, even if that meant giving up my power."

"Ba'al…" Adria began and let out a blood scream.

"I'm here, still here, my sweet."

"It's time…Oh Mother! Help!"
