            Almost a Month Later

            Daniel banged the receiver of the phone down with such force that Sam poked her in with concern. "Daniel, what's the matter?" She made herself at home in the chair across from him.

            Daniel held his head in his hands. He hadn't slept well in a couple of weeks and the strain showed on his face. Leaning back, he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

            "I've tried to talk to Buffy for 3 weeks, but she is always gone or busy. The girls and Giles aren't mean about it, just evasive. I have talked to Dawnie a couple of times, and she says nothing is wrong. Nothing wrong except my heart is being ripped out." He said bitterly.

            Jack walked in, saw the misery in Daniel's face, and seated himself beside Sam. "Still no Buffy?"  Jack had tried to convince Buffy to call Daniel, but had no success.

            Next Teal'c poked his head in, "Daniel Jackson, you must have nourishment to maintain your strength. Have you not spoken to Buffy Summers?" Daniel shook his head again. Leaning forward he rested his forehead on his desk.

            All of the sudden the General was standing in the doorway. "Crowded in here, isn't it?" He said. Daniel didn't look up; "Something you need, Sir?" came the muffled question.

            "You have a visitor in the conference room." General Hammond smiled. Daniel raised his head, "Who is it?" The General looked up at the ceiling as if in thought, "I think she said her name was, um, Buffy Summers."

            It was as if a light had switched on in Daniel's eyes. "Buffy? She's here? Excuse me." The General moved out of the way and Daniel dashed out of his office, running down the hallway, bowling over two innocent airmen. "Sorry." He was suddenly in front of the conference room door, heart beating so hard that he felt faint. He opened the door, and saw her.

            Buffy was standing, looking at some photo on the wall. She had her hair up, with curls caressing the side of her face. She was wearing a blue blouse and tight pants and the high heel sandals that Daniel loved. She turned her head when she heard the door open, smiling at Daniel.

            She was alarmed at how tired he looked and crossed quickly to him, taking his hands. He pulled his hands back, placing them on her face and kissed her with all of the anger, worry and passion he felt. Buffy wrapped her arms around him, and leaned into him.

            "I missed you so much." She sighed.

            "Why wouldn't you talk to me then? Did I do something wrong?" Daniel asked, hurt in his voice. Buffy shook her head, "We both did something wrong." He took her by the shoulders, looking at her in puzzlement, "Excuse me?"

            She looked into his eyes, "We forgot birth control."

            Daniel stared at her, belated realization dawning in his eyes. "God, we didn't use birth control. Ever!" he staggered back, turning away. "No wonder you didn't want to speak to me. I was so irresponsible. I'm sorry Buffy."

            Buffy pulled him back around, "For such a brilliant man, you are an idiot." She said tartly. "Daniel, I'm pregnant."

            She saw the words process, and his eyes shimmered with tears behind his glasses.

            "Pregnant?" he whispered.

            "Yeppers, 2 months and 2 days gone!" she said, smiling at the stunned joy on his face.

            The door banged open, startling them both and Major Davis walked in. He checked at the sight of someone using the room already. "Oh, Sorry."

            A voice came from down the hall, "Davis, you nitwit! Come back out here."

            Daniel raised his own voice, "It's okay Jack." He rubbed his eyes, trying to compose himself. Everybody came to the door. "Hey Buffy!" Sam came in and gave Buffy a hug.

            "Welcome to Colorado Springs Buffy Summers." Teal'c said. Jack walked in, hands in his pockets, "Hey Blondie, what's cookin'." He asked. Daniel smothered a laugh as Buffy crossed to Jack to kiss his cheek. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you, Colonel, Sir."

            Davis watched for a moment, the held his hand out to Buffy. "Hi, since everybody is so rude, I'll introduce myself. Major Paul Davis. Welcome to the mountain." Buffy shook his hand, "Hi Major Davis, I'm Buffy Summers." She smiled at him, and he knew why Daniel was smitten.

            "So Danny, take the rest of the day off, show Buffy the sights." Jack said.

            "Lets go." Daniel took Buffy's hand and dragged her out of the conference room. Sam smothered a laugh, "I'll bet the sights she'll see will be in Daniel's apartment."

            "Daniel Jackson looks like a new man, does he not?" Teal'c asked with satisfaction.

            "Oh yeah." Jack said, whistling while he walked back to his office. Mission accomplished.

            Daniel had changed with lightening speed, not wanting to miss a second with Buffy. They were walking hand in hand down the hallway when they heard raised voices in General Hammond's office.

            "You had better watch that insubordinate tone, Colonel Williamson!" General Hammond roared.

            Buffy made a face, and Daniel shook his head in pity for the Colonel. He was going to get…"  Suddenly they heard a thud, the sound of flesh striking flesh. The General said, "You are going to be court-martialed for striking a superior officer." Williamson snarled, "Not if you're dead."

            Buffy grabbed Daniel before he burst through the door. She mouthed silently, "I'll get Williamson, you go get the others." Daniel nodded and dashed off.

Buffy swung open the door, innocently smiling, "General Hammond, I wanted…" her eyes narrowed at the sight of the General bleeding on the floor with the Colonel over him. She moved quickly, a running side- kick, to the Colonel's chest, which threw him against the wall with a bang that rattled pictures. The knife she hadn't seen dropped to the floor.

"Sir?" She bent over him in concern when his eyes widened, "Behind you." She twisted and brought her fist and forearm up hard enough to break the Colonel's nose and drop him in an unconscious heap. Booted feet raced down the hall as Buffy helped the General back to his chair. She was trying to stop the bleeding of the cut on his head when the office erupted in pandemonium.

The General stood, listing slightly, "Everybody at ease!" he shouted, wincing in pain. Buffy looked at Daniel, darting her eyes to Jack who looked like he was going finish off Williamson himself.

"Colonel O'Neill," the General had noticed too. "Call base security to take that bastard away." Jack ignored the General as he looked down at the unconscious N.I.D. Colonel. Teal'c stepped into his view. "Colonel O'Neill, I believe that General Hammond gave you a direct order."

Jack looked up at Teal'c, then past him to the General and Buffy beside him. "Did you do this?" Buffy nodded, "Well, the General softened him up, but I finished it." The General shook his head with a wry smile.

"Did you hurt him?" Jack asked calmly. "Oh yeah, he hit the wall, with a crunch." She said with satisfaction.

He nodded, meeting the General's eyes, "Yes Sir." in belated obedience, leaving the office. The General jerked his head to Sam, and she followed.

"Daniel? Call your doctor." Buffy said, gesturing to the cut. She started to walk around the desk when the General grabbed her hand, "You saved my life, young lady."

Buffy went back and kissed him on the head. "Same goes. You gave me Daniel."
