Cassie sat with Kasuf teaching him how to play cards as Jack went to look up the symbol.

"Can I ask you something?" Cassie asked hesitantly.

"Of course," Kasuf smiled at her.

"When you talk about…your daughter you never say her name, why?" Cassie asked.

Kasuf sighed, "We believe that when someone you love dies if you say their name too often it calls them back from their peace preventing them from resting. It is out of respect for them."

"Oh," she thought about it, "That makes sense."

"You remind me of her greatly," Kasuf told her.

Cassie looked at him in surprise, "Really?"

"Yes Cassandra," he gently touched her cheek, "She was just as energetic, intelligent and sweet as you are at sixteen."

Cassie smiled before returning to their game.

"Osiris," Teal'c revealed in a low annoyed voice as SG1 sat in Jack's office, "That is who stole Sha're's body from Abydos."

"Why would he do that?" Sam sighed confused, "Sha're's been dead for almost three years."

"Well that's who the Jaffa Kasuf saw serve," Jack said, "There has to be a reason."

"I guess it's a good thing Daniel isn't here," Sam said, "I don't think he'd be able to handle this."

"There's nothing we can do," Teal'c reminded them, "We have no idea where Osiris would have taken the body or if we did this happened several months ago he may have left already."

"This is sick," Jack snapped, "Can't people just leave those two alone."

"Oh dear," Sam suddenly said.

"What is it Carter?" Jack asked worriedly.

"When we rescued Thor," she said, "While I was caught by Osiris he wanted to know where Daniel was."

"What did you say?"

"That he was dead," she replied, "He didn't believe me."

"It was well known information throughout the Goa'uld that Ammonet's host was Daniel Jackson's wife," Teal'c added.

"So they dig her up to make Daniel come after her so Osiris can kill him?" Jack asked, "No, that doesn't make any sense."

The unspoken thought that if Daniel were there he'd work it out hung between them. The alarms interrupted their conference. SG1 headed through the corridors.

"Sir?" Jack asked seeing Hammond in the control room.

"It's the Tok'ra," he told them.

They followed him into the Gateroom to greet whoever came through from their allies.

"Dad," Sam smiled seeing Jacob walk through the Gate and down the ramp.

"Hey kiddo," Jacob hugged his daughter, "Hi guys."

"Jacob," Jack nodded in greeting, "You have excellent timing."

"What's wrong?"

"Good question Jacob," Hammond looked pointedly at his premier team.

"Kasuf just told us that someone stole Sha're's body from Abydos."

Jacob blanched, "Oh no. That's what happened."

Hammond stared at them, "Could someone explain to me what is going on?"

"We'd better sit down for this," Jacob grimaced.

They trooped up to the briefing room and sat down waiting.

"Would someone like to start," Hammond said pointedly.

Jack sighed, "Kasuf finally remembered what happened when he was hurt. Someone stole Sha're's body from Abydos, Cassie suggested he draw the symbol so we could look it up. It's the symbol of Osiris."

"Hell," Jacob sighed, "It's coming together now."

"What?" Sam asked.

"I'm here because we found out that Osiris has been spending a lot of time trying to revive someone," he told them, "We couldn't find out who it was."

"Looks like we know," Jack sighed.

"We have to save her," Sam said, "We have to stop Osiris and if Sha're is alive we have to bring her home."

"Agreed," Hammond said, "But we have no idea where Osiris is."

"I'll talk to the Tok'ra council and see what I can find out," Jacob promised.

It was warm. Light covered her but this time there was no pain. Instead a face filled her vision. He was handsome and in his eyes was something, something she couldn't put a name too but as she looked into his eyes she felt safe.

Reality and fantasy merged.

One moment she was alone, the next he was holding her whispering in her ear. The words never made any sense but she trusted them. He said her name but she couldn't understand it and she couldn't find his name anywhere.

But his face, his wonderful face was imprinted onto her mind.

Osiris smiled as he looked over the woman lying within the sarcophagus. Her body was fully regenerated though she needed to be placed within the sarcophagus once a day for a few hours so her body could learn to function by itself once more for at least a few more days.

"Her mind is returning," the minor Gould in charge of caring for the woman Crithis told him, "It is taking time and it may take several more weeks before she is able to be fully functional mentally. It shall only be a few hours until she will no longer need the sarcophagus to keep her body functioning."

"Good," Osiris mused, "I want her to be completely healthy when I use her to destroy Daniel Jackson."

Crithis nodded leaving Osiris alone with the young woman.

"You shall deliver my Queen back to me," Osiris mocked, "And then you shall kill your husband."

From within Sarah looked down on the woman and felt great pity for her. To be torn from the peace of her death to this. There was jealousy also when she looked at her. This was who Daniel had married, who he loved and that made her feel jealous that she had gained what Sarah had lost.

"I'm sorry," she thought to Sha're, "I'm so sorry."

Daniel sighed in annoyance, "I can't get it."

"It takes time," Oma told him, "You must be patient."

"I know," Daniel sighed again, "I'm just so used to being able to pick things up quickly."

While he sighed in annoyance a new presence joined them.

"All lessons take time to learn," Shifu told him.

"Shifu," Daniel's voice filled with joy, "I was hoping you'd be back soon."

The boy looked exactly as Daniel remembered. Within this realm of energy he'd found that the ones around him were all in the form of humans. Oma explained that since this was his natural state and what he was comfortable with, it was how he perceived them. It was a comfort and now to have Shifu here also.

"All paths cross," Shifu told him, "And ours run side by side for the moment."

"Now Daniel," Oma interrupted, "Place your heart within your lessons."

"My heart died a long time ago," Daniel replied without thinking.

Shifu gently touched Daniel's arm, "Mother?"

"I'm sorry Oma," Daniel apologised, "I know I'm meant to have let go of everything but I can't let go of her."

"Love is the greatest force in the universe," Oma told him, "Your love for your wife should never be forgotten. It was your guilt that held you back."

Shifu gained Daniel's attention, "Come, rest and explore a while."

Everything seemed so real, so bright but so perfect.

"You miss your friends," Shifu said, "Don't you?"

"It's hard not to," Daniel replied with a sad smile, "They were a big part of my life."

"You can feel their presence whenever you want to make sure they are well," Shifu explained, "It is how I made sure you were safe."

Daniel looked at him in surprise, "You checked up on me?"

"You are my family," Shifu told him before a flash of worry crossed his face, "Aren't you?"

Daniel leaned down till they were face to face, "Yes, we're family. I should have told you when you were on Earth."

"The memory of who my father is stopped you."

Daniel looked at the boy in front of him, "Shifu as much as I wish that I could change the things that happened to your mother I can never wish you away. I held you the moment you were born and I loved you then. I love you as if you were my own son."

Shifu smiled, "Thank you Father."

An amazing feeling filled him as Shifu said that one word, "Teach me to feel my friends presence?" he asked.

"It is simple," Shifu explained, "Close your eyes and let yourself feel their energy reach out to touch you."

Daniel did as instructed but before he could find Jack something struck him like a tidal wave overwhelming all his senses.

"Sha're," he whispered before all awareness disappeared.

Jack jumped as his phone rang, "What?" he demanded.

"I'll be there in a few minutes," he promised jumping out of his seat the moment he'd finished talking.

"Catherine," Jack cried seeing the founder of the project standing in Hammond's office waiting for him, "I've been trying to get a hold of you for months."

"Ernest and I were travelling around Europe," she replied as he hugged her tightly, "I came when I got your message."

"Where's Ernest?"

"He's still in Chicago looking over some hieroglyphics," she smiled, "Jack, what's going on?"

"Sit down Catherine," he said softly, "I've got some news and it's bad, kinda."

Hearing the tone in his voice and seeing the look in his eyes Catherine paled, "It's Daniel, isn't it?"

Jack nodded and taking a few deep breaths proceeded to explain what had happened only a few months ago.

The anguish she felt at the news spilled over and Jack hugged the old woman as she grieved.

"He's happy Catherine," he told her, "I know he's happy."

After a few minutes she managed to calm down. Jack took her hand and smiled softly, "Come on, there's a few people who'd like to see you."

Taking her down to the infirmary they found Kasuf, Skaara, Sam, Teal'c, Janet and Cassie sitting around Kasuf's bed playing cards. They were all waiting for Jacob to return with whatever information he could get on the location of Osiris.

"Catherine," Sam grinned jumping over and hugging her, "I see Colonel O'Neill has told you."

Catherine nodded a few tears still in her eyes, "I still can't believe it."

Sam nodded, "There's a few people you should meet," she brought her round, "This is Skaara and Kasuf. I'm sure you've heard about them.

Catherine smiled, "It's nice to meet you.

Jack stepped away and watched as Catherine was sucked into the card school. He was feeling fidgety and didn't feel like joining in. Jacob had been gone almost a day now and Jack just felt like he should be doing something.

He felt a hand touch his shoulder and turned. The world became hazy as Daniel stood before him.

"Daniel?"

"Jack, what's going on?" Daniel demanded, "I felt her, I can't explain but I was sure you would know."

"You lost me at that sharp turn at the start," Jack said before seeing the smaller figure next to his friend, "Shifu, can you tell me what he means?"

"He believes he felt my mother's presence."

"Did you?" Jack asked Shifu.

Sadness covered the child's face, "I do not know what her presence feels like."

"Jack," Daniel said, "Is something going on?"

"Osiris stole her body from Abydos," Jack told him, "Jacob said that the Tok'ra found out Osiris was reviving somebody but they didn't know who."

"Sha're," Daniel whispered before looking angry, "Why are you just playing cards?"

"Because we're waiting for Jacob to come back with some intelligence," Jack explained, "We're going after her."

"I have to go," Daniel said looking disturbed, "Don't tell them I was here."

"Sure," Jack said just as the world returned to normal.

Looking around Daniel was gone but Cassie was tugging his arm.

"Jack," she asked, "What's wrong?"

Coming out of his trance he looked down at her, "Nothing honey."

Heading back to his office he sighed, "Hurry up Jacob."
