Oh my goodness hi everyone, thank you for being patient, we had a close family bereavement and a lot of stuff with that as you would expect and with all that work went a little mad too so here it is the first part of the next chapter I have been able to indulge a little holiday writing time so watch this space for more :) xx Mina

Also I don't own anything stargate I just love it! Oh and yeah it is distinctly un-beta'd spelling mistakes and plot issues are all mine...

Chapter warnings: None

Recap: The story is deepening with regards to the ancient factor on earth and the trust is still being a proverbial pain in the butt to the good guys, we will have to wait and see what the next chapters have in store for them all...

It's Ancient History: part 1

"So how's it going?" Kya asked as she entered the library a few days later. She had left the experts to do what they do best, PJ and Daniel researching to their heart's content.

"Not as well as be hoped, but better that we expected…" PJ said looking up from a large tome. She adjusted her glasses. Kya thought something about her looked different, her lips maybe… What was it? Well either way, Daniel was good for her.

"Is Daniel about?"
"Not yet…" PJ blushed and cleared her throat. "He was going to get some coffees and bring them along…"
"Cool, well I won't interrupt your research for long…" Kya assured out loud. In her mind, she reached out to her sister, holding hands, she put out the thought that she was here for her. And asked her gently if she was OK.

Oh Kya it is so wonderful, just to feel a little again, I never thought I would meet someone like Daniel… after Theo I figured why bother… But Daniel is so kind and clever and he is thoughtful and generous… I really like him… He is the good of humanity…

PJ I am so pleased for you, it is about time someone got you interested in more than just the books… Daniel is a good man, I know he has found it hard to commit since Sha'Re and he is devoted to his work just like you…

"Good morning ladies…" Daniel said as he entered the room in a chipper fashion.

"Chipper… Cheerful… Who are you and what did you do with Daniel…?" Kya asked with a grin. He smiled, walking over to PJ, he leant down and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey Sunshine!"

"Hi!" She said with a wide smile.

Kya took that as her cue to exit stage right. "I will see you guys later, let me know of all breakthroughs please…?"
"Will do." Daniel assured.

"Sure." Said PJ.

Just you enjoy yourself sis, I have never seen you so happy.

Kya sent the thought and a wave of sisterly love.

Thank you, I will.

All Kya heard was the sound of the coffee cups being placed on the table and then the rustle of two people embracing, their mouths meeting in a lip locking smooch of a kiss. She grinned, never would she have marked her sister as the naughty librarian type but she may have to revise that thought.

"Hey wifey… So, you skipped breakfast, we missed you, how are the babies doing?"
"Hubby, I am fine. I went to visit PJ early; she is always in the library from 6am…"

"So you feel fine?"
"Yes, all is well Cam, I am actually kind of hungry now…"
"OK… Well they just cleared the breakfast dishes but let me take you into town for a little brunch and we can catch up on where we are at…"
"Sure, that would be…" She didn't finish her sentence because she heard Raven's voice in her head. She held up a hand to Cam to reassure him.

Kya your sister CC has disappeared. We think she may be working with the people who have been chasing you, but she does not realise the danger she may be in.

Thank you Rave… We didn't tell her about the ancient thing… We thought she was a security risk…

She was. The risk was there, we didn't see that that she has been working with them for months, she has somehow managed to shield it from us all.

What can we do? Do you want me to tell PJ?

For now, I will leave it up to you how to handle it… When the time comes, take Cam, Teal'C and Vala, go and track CC, do not put yourself at risk.

I won't put myself at risk, I assure you…

The communication is ended and Cam looks quizzically at her.

"Raven was using the private link to tell me about CC vanishing…" She explained as they headed to grab their things.

They went for brunch in the local village, Kya loved it and she had forgotten how close to Christmas it was just a few weeks, the whole place was aglow with lights and there were exciting things to see everywhere.

"Oh, Cam I am so sorry, if we don't get this sorted out we won't get to fly back before Christmas and we'll have to wait for the babies to be born here…"
"We can always get beamed home at short notice..." He grinned a charming boyish smile.

"How about Christmas here… would love to do a normal tree decorating session and have a nice dinner…"
"I am in, but maybe we can do multiple holidays….?"
"One here… One there… One in orbit?" She laughed.

"Exactly!"
They walked hand in hand from Maisy Daisies the café and Kya looked longingly in the window of a boutique home shop, there were so many beautiful things but the homely things caught her eye, the little cot blankets, and baby booties. She felt a wave of anxiety, what if their child was not just like any other baby, what if the significantly more developed ancient factor really did have a radical affect…

What you thinking? Cam asked in her mind.

Wow Cam I am impressed you are really getting the hang of this! PJ is an awesome teacher I never knew that! I was hoping our baby is as normal as can be… I just I spoke with Raven the other day at the check up and he thinks the little one is developing much faster that a normal human baby, he says that I may be full term two to three months earlier which means that I may give birth in as little as a few weeks… He said he isn't sure but wow I was so surprised, he said that CC has a totally normal pregnancy so why is mine different, she and I are sisters... I just I worry that they will come out and grow like the Orissi… I explain.

Kya this baby is born of love, even f the ancient factor has an effect, this child is not a cosmic force of domination like Adria, that woman was made to be crazy… He reassures.

"Come on then let's go get some baby stuff!" He says aloud and they head into the shop.

"I feel like this is frivolous with so much happening…" She looks pensive.
"No way wifey, you are gonna have all the good stuff that pregnancy comes with shopping included, we are not going to go there with hiding out in the house all day and night!" He said and with that they went on a shopping spree, to which Kya was thoroughly exhausted she could only pick up a pair of booties the rest they explained to the nice lady that a guy would come by and pick up the purchases later, she didn't bat an eye, this was wealthy people central, having assistants for everything was normal.

Cam's cell phone rang just as they were getting out of the shop. "Mitchell here..."

"Cam it's Caro, we wanted to let you know Sam had the babies, two girls, born this morning at 7am, she only just made it to the SGC in time, completely lost the chance at a normal hospital birth..."

"Wow, tell them congratulations and send our love, we just went baby shopping..." They chatted briefly and he hung up.

He had been turned looking in the other direction to Kya at the lit tree across the square. He turned around to tell her the news and she was gone, there was no sign of her just the little bag with baby booties she had been holding.

"Awe sh..." Cam grabbed his cell again dialling the manor and taking off at a run.
