Friends Unite.
Janet Fraiser sat on the bench in the locker room, her head in her hands. Hearing footsteps behind her she turned around to see Sam.
"Hey." She said quietly, joining her colleague on the bench.
Janet smiled.
"Pretty bad morning sickness huh?" Sam asked rubbing her friends back.
"Oh yeah. I think I'm in for a thrilling time." Janet replied, brushing a strand of stray hair out of her eye. "But I wouldn't have it any other way. Even if I am gonna be wandering around the base looking like hell for a few months."
"Look I'm sorry about Jack. He had no idea about any of this. He was just trying to be sensible."
"Yeah I know." Janet replied. "I guess it was stupid to even contemplate going through the mirror without authorization."
"No it wasn't." They heard a voice say at the door.
The pair turned around to see Jack walk in.
"Look I'm so sorry about before Janet, if I'd have had any idea I would have at least tried to be civil. This child needs its father." He told her putting a hand on her still flat stomach as he one day hoped to do with Sam. "And I'm going to do every damned thing I can to make sure that happens. You're right Daniel is our friend and he is way to important for us not to try this, whether we have the Generals permission or not, so I say we suck it up and go for it. You in or not?"
"I as you say am in O'Neill." Came a voice from the door belonging to Teal'c.
"Well yep so am I." Jack told them.
"I'm in." Sam told the group. "Janet…"
She looked at her friends realizing just how lucky she was to have friends who were willing to risk their careers for her need to save Daniel, her lover and their friend for the sake of her, Daniel and their unborn child.
She smiled.
"For Daniel." She told them.
"For Daniel." They chorused.
Daniel lay weakly in the infirmary staring up at the ceiling, praying with all his might that somehow a miracle would happen and he would live through this. As every moment progressed he was finding it harder to breathe and harder to fight but he knew he had to, for the sake of Cassandra and Summer and for the sake of Janet who he loved more than he ever knew was possible. He had loved Shau'ri deeply and he missed her dearly every day but being with Janet made him feel whole and the love he felt for her was so incredible that at times he wondered why nothing had happened sooner.
"Hey sweetie." Came a gentle voice from beside him. He looked up to see Janet standing at his side. She kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey. You okay? Okay stupid question." he replied making her smile.
Janet sat on his bed.
"How you feeling?" she asked him stroking his face.
"You know, same old same old. You know I think some of your nurses have a crush on me doctor." he replied with a smile.
"Really? Well I have absolutely no idea why," she teased.
"Oh yeah you do." he replied lifting his hand up and cupping her cheek with it. She leaned over and kissed him.
"Have you rung Cass, told her what's going on?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah I rung her half an hour ago, poor kid. She's convinced it's her fault somehow because everyone she loves leaves her."
"Of course it's not her fault." he comforted.
"That's what I tried to tell her. Abby Matthews is taking Summer tonight, Cass wants to come here after school and sleep in some quarters."
"In case something happens right." Daniel asked.
Janet nodded silently.
"You know when you're facing death you realize a few things. It makes you think." Daniel told her.
"Daniel..."
"It's made me realize a lot. Like how much I love you," he told her tenderly.
Janet started to cry.
Daniel gently pulled her down on to the bed next to him, her head resting on his chest. He stroked her face.
"I don't want to leave you, or the girls," he told her tears in his own eyes.
"I know baby, I know." she told him kissing his forehead.
"I love you so much." he whispered starting to cry.
"I love you too. You know that," she whispered back, kissing his cheek where the tears had fell.
She rested her head back on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heart beating while he rubbed her back tenderly, still unknowing of the life that was growing in her abdomen.
She looked up at him and into his piercing blue eyes, which were filled with such fear and sadness. Hearing a cough from the doorway and turned to see Jack and Sam kitted out in their BDU's.
"I thought SG-1 were on stand down." Daniel commented to them.
"Oh yeah we are." Jack replied in his usual tone of voice. "You ready Doc?"
"What are you guys up to?" he asked knowing full well they hadn't received the General's permission to travel through the mirror.
"Oh nothin." Jack replied.
Janet kissed Daniel again, this time more passionately and sweetly, afraid that this might be the last time she might see the man she loved alive.
"Know that there's a lot for you here if you fight this Daniel." she told him tenderly moving the hand that had been resting on her back to her abdomen. Then she left, leaving a confused Daniel behind as she embarked on a mission that meant the difference between life and death.
SG-1made their way to the quantum mirror conversing slightly with those they passed on the way. It had been stored on the base ever since Kate and Summer had made their way through the device to their universe, their world having been invaded by the Goa'uld and their parents killed by them.
After what felt like forever they came to the room holding the device, a guard standing outside the door.
"We'd like to examine the quantum mirror Lieutenant." Sam told the young Lieutenant.
"If I could have your authorization Major."
"We have direct orders from General George Hammond to examine the device Lieutenant." Colonel Jack O'Neill told the young woman.
"Sorry Sir but I haven't heard anything about a team coming to examine the device. I cannot allow you to enter." She replied, eyeing the team up suspiciously.
"Look Lieutenant...Browne I can order you to let us in if you continue to refuse our entry."
"You can ring General Hammond if you would like." Teal'c joined in.
"Yeah I'm sure he would find it very amusing to find that one of his teams wasn't able to do one of their missions due to a lack of communication." Sam told the Lieutenant.
"I'll just ring the General, if you would wait a second." the Lieutenant told the group picking up a phone.
As her back was turned Teal'c pulled out a zat gun that had been concealed in his uniform. Pulling it out he fired once knocking the Lieutenant to the floor before she had a chance to dial.
Janet knelt down and felt for a pulse.
"She'll be okay," she told the team getting up.
"Okay people let's move." Jack ordered as the four of them entered the room.
