A/N: I got this idea while, once again, PMing MayDayReject :D Lol.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Saving Private Ryan! I only own Kasimira, her family, Priya, her family, Aleksandra, her family, Jessie, and her family!

"Jeez, Daniel, I can carry my own bags," Priya Shane said as she and Daniel Jackson made their way up the walkway in the front yard.

"Like I said before, I know ya can," The tall blonde southern boy answered, laughing as he sat their bags on the porch.

Priya opened her mouth to say something but was cut off when a pair of arms wrapped around her neck.

"Priya!"

"Momma?" She choked out. "I need to breathe."

"I agree with ya, Priya," An older man said, laughing as he walked out onto the porch. "Mariah, the girl needs oxygen."

Mariah Shane reluctantly let go of her daughter, tears in her baby blue eyes. Her eyes wandered to the man standing a little ways behind them. Her eyes went wide when she recognized who it was.

"Daniel Jackson?" Mariah asked, looking him over. She looked back to her daughter.

"It's Daniel alright, Momma," She said, laughing lightly as Alexander Shane picked up their bags.

"I'll take these to your room, Priya while your Momma acts like a loon," he told them as he disappeared up the stairs.

"Come in, please," The dark haired woman said, herding the two inside. She pushed them into the living room, "You two get comfy. I'll be right back."

She walked off, leaving Jackson and Priya to sit down on a couch. Mrs. Shane returned with a plate of assorted homemade cookies.

"Mattea went crazy with her baking yesterday when she heard you, Alek, and Kassie were coming home," She said as she sat the plate on the coffee table.

"Thanks, Momma," Priya said as she grabbed a random cookie from the plate.

"Go on, Daniel," Mariah said when she noticed the young man wasn't making a move to grab one. "This is your home too."

Jackson laughed as he grabbed one as well, "Thanks, Mrs. Shane."

"Now, Daniel, I have said it before, call me Mariah," She said, giving him a stern look.

"Alright, Mariah," Jackson said before he bit into his cookie.

"You get hurt over there?" Alex asked as he walked into the room with them and sat next to his wife.

Priya looked to her dad, deciding to only tell them about Ramelle for now.

"Well, we were sent to find a Private James Ryan," the blue eyed brunette said as she leaned against Jackson, who wrapped his arms around her waist. "We found him at Ramelle defending a bridge."

Alex's eyes glanced at his daughter's ankle, "What happened to your ankle?"

Priya glanced down before looking back to her dad. She was going to speak, but Jackson beat her to it.

"You would be very proud of Priya, Alex," Daniel Jackson said, kissing his fiancée's cheek before Priya finished.

"I saved Daniel's life, Momma, Poppa," She said to them, a smile on her face. "The two of us were in a bell tower in Ramelle, helping Sergeant Kilo and her men defend the bridge until reinforcements arrived."

Alexander Shane recognized the name Kilo but didn't say a word. He just waited for his daughter or Jackson to continue.

"We were trying to kill the Krauts before they could get to our comrades," the tall blonde southern boy said to them. "The tank started to aim for us, but Priya saw it before I did."

"So, what I did was grab the collar of his shirt and pull him down the stairway," The blue eyed brunette said to them. "We were almost to the bottom of the stairs when the tower collapsed on us. And since I was the only one who was wearing a helmet, I jumped on top of Daniel."

"She was very brave," Jackson said to them, his blue eyes filled with love for his fiancée. "She was lucky that a sprained ankle was all she got."

"We're glad you're both alive," Mariah said as she stood up. "Mattea and Markus are having a get together later today to celebrate the return of our girls. Would you like to come along?"

Daniel looked to Priya, a smile on his face. Which was returned by Priya before the both of them answered in unison.

"Yes."

"Good then," Alex said, laughing as he stood up. "You two get cleaned up and changed. Mattea and Markus live maybe two mile farther out, so it'll be a nice walk for us. To catch up."

"Alright, Alex," The tall young man said as he and Priya stood up.

When Mariah and Alex left the room, Daniel touched Priya's arm. When she turned to look at him, he pulled out a small emerald ring.

"This was my mother's," He told her. "She gave it to me to give me hope when I felt like there was none."

"What are you saying, Daniel?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper.

"What I'm trying to say is I want you to have this ring, Priya Lynn Shane," He said to her, a nervous smile on his face. "You're the only woman that I want to be with."

One of Priya's tanned hands went to cover her open mouth. To say she was shocked would be an understatement. When it all sunk in, she flung her arms around his neck. Squealing 'yes' the entire time.

Jackson laughed a bit as Priya let go of his neck. He took her left hand in his and slid the ring onto her finger.

Jackson smiled as he kissed the woman of his dreams. For the first time in his life, he felt whole.

Little did they know, Mariah and Alex Shane were peaking around the corner into the living room, smiles on their faces.
