Author's Notes:- This was originally one big story but something strange happened when I tried to upload it so I had to cut it into bits.

Daniel sighed.

This wasn't fair. Sha're was here and he wasn't able to just go to her. He couldn't even talk to her or get that snake out of her because it would probably mean the end of the world. But for him it seemed like that anyway.

He headed to the Gould's rooms to give them the apology from Jack, he had written it so he had volunteered to give it to them. If only he could stop thinking about Sha're being so close but so far away from him.

Chronos and Yu accepted it without a word but then he had to go see Nierti. She troubled him. Maybe it was the way she kept studying him like he was a bug that got to him but taking a deep breath he knocked the door before entering.

"The apology is acceptable," she told him.

"Thank you," Daniel bowed slightly before heading for the door.

"Wait," she ordered.

Oh hell, Daniel thought.

He turned to face her as she studied him intently.

"You are the one Hathor chose as her beloved," it wasn't a question.

"Em…" Daniel decided backing away would be the best idea, "I suppose."

She took his arm tightly and pulled him over to her, "I can see why," she smiled at him which reminded him of a wolf about to attack, her other hand gripped his face.

"I should go," Daniel tried to pull away but her grip was like an iron vice.

She moved closer to him as he struggled against her, her lips almost touched his when another voice cut through the room.

"Enough."

Daniel was released and saw Ammonet standing there. He pulled away from Nierti but Ammonet blocked his path out.

"You do not have any authority over me," Nierti snapped.

"You shall not do anything which shall jeopardize these negotiations," Ammonet told her, "Leave the Tauri man alone."

She turned to Daniel and moved out of the road so he could leave.

Daniel headed along the corridor shaking at the encounter. Nierti hadn't bothered him as much as being rescued by someone he hated. Ammonet, the Gould who held his dear wife hostage.

"Dr. Jackson," Ammonet's voice echoed behind him.

Daniel stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to face her, "Yes?" he kept his voice as steady as possible.

This isn't Sha're, he thought to himself, this isn't Sha're, this isn't Sha're, this isn't Sha're.

"I wish to let you know that you need not worry about Nierti again," she told him as she came closer.

This isn't Sha're.

"You know who I am?" he asked.

She nodded.

"You know who your host is?"

She nodded.

"Then stay away from me," he turned to leave shaking inside.

"Do you wish to speak with her?"

Ammonet's question made him jump.

"What?" he spun around again.

"Do you wish to speak with her?" Ammonet repeated slowly and deliberately.

Daniel stared at her wondering if she was just toying with him but the offer was something that he could not resist. He nodded.

"Escort me back to my quarters and I shall allow you to speak with her."

Daniel closed the door behind them trying to quell the turmoil in his stomach. He wanted to run out but her offer to let him speak to Sha're kept him standing there.

She closed her eyes and her head dropped slightly as the symbiote let the host speak.

"Dan'iel," Sha're smiled at him.

Daniel walked over slowly and looked at her.

"It is I," she whispered reassuringly, placing her hand on his arm.

Daniel blinked as tears threatened to overcome him but pulled her into an embrace.

Sha're pulled back and looked at him, "There is something I must tell you."

"What is it?" he asked as he stroked her cheek.

Her head dropped and her eyes glowed as she looked at him again. Daniel jumped back with shock.

"I am Tok'ra," Ammonet told him.

"What?" Daniel's face went chalk white, "You're lying."

"Please you must listen to me," Ammonet said, "You must hear this."

"No," Daniel shook his head before leaving the room as fast as possible, "No."

"He was not ready to know this," Ammonet said.

"But I must let him know," Sha're told her, "He is my husband and I have caused him so much pain."

"If he loves you as much as he says, he shall understand. It may take him some time but he shall understand."

Sha're hoped so because she couldn't bear to lose him.
