Author's Notes:- Sorry about the strange chapters but it's the only ay I can upload this story for some bizarre reason.
Sha're opened the door in answer to the quiet knocking. Behind it stood Daniel. His face a mask of calm he stepped inside when they moved back and stood with his arms crossed protectively across his chest.
"Tell me."
After a quick internal discussion it was decided that Sha're would explain.
"Dan'iel, you must please listen and wait until I have told you everything before you jump to any conclusion," Sha're's voice told him.
Don't be fooled, Daniel thought to himself; just don't let her fool you.
He nodded and sat down across from her.
"Ammonet was sent undercover to find out what she could about Apophis," Sha're shuddered slightly at the name, "He decided he loved her but her host was dying. Since she did not use the Sarcophagus it was necessary for her to find a new host."
"So she stole one," Daniel's voice was hard and clipped.
"No," Ammonet jumped in, "I tried to leave but Apophis placed me inside a Jaffa and went in search of a new host. To keep up the pretence I was forced to invade Sha're's body."
"Why did you choose her? Surely you saw others?"
"I did but Apophis had taken a liking to Sha're and I needed to stay within his good side."
Daniel stared hard at her and watched as Sha're took back control, "I was controlled at first as I fought but Ammonet needed to continue her work. One night she managed to get me to listen to her and she explained to me what she was doing. I agreed to help her."
"What? Why?"
"Because it was the right thing for me to do," Sha're explained, "She couldn't just disappear and change host because then the System Lords would know she had deceived them and all the work she has done would be undone."
"So the past few years while I have struggled to find you and hated myself for letting you get taken, you've been helping the Tok'ra?" his voice conveyed his utter disbelief, "Why didn't you tell me on Abydos?"
Sha're bit her lip, she hadn't been looking forward to telling him this part.
"When I saw you again on Abydos I told you the truth, mostly."
"Mostly?"
"I told you about Ammonet and what Apophis had planned for the child," she said as tears threatened her, "Ammonet had made me promise not to let anyone know who the real father was."
That caught his attention, "Real father?"
Sha're felt her tears spill slightly so Ammonet took control.
"Sha're was pregnant when she became a host," Ammonet explained, "I was able to hold off her pregnancy, keeping the baby in stasis until we could convince Apophis the child was his. He must believe he has succeeded in creating a Harcesis Child."
Daniel grabbed the table to steady him as he suddenly realised what had just been said, "The child?"
"He is OUR son, Dan'iel," Sha're whispered gently reaching out to him.
Daniel pulled back. This wasn't real.
"I...I…I have to go," he stuttered slightly.
Daniel raced out of the room.
Daniel sat in his office tears spilling down his cheeks, this wasn't real. It couldn't be though Ammonet seemed to be letting Sha're speak it could be a trick.
"Daniel?" Jack's angry voice cut through his thoughts; "Daniel open up or I shoot out the lock."
Daniel sighed and unlocked the door but didn't open it. He sat down at his desk.
Jack stormed in and glared at him, "What the hell have you been doing?" he snapped, "You've been talking to Ammonet. We saw you on the video cameras going down there twice. Are you nuts?"
Daniel stared blankly at him, "Jack, I…I…I"
Jack looked at him properly, "What happened?"
Daniel dropped his head into his hands, "Oh God this isn't real."
Jack kicked the door shut and walked over to sit next to his friend, "Daniel?"
"I was giving your apology to Nierti when she tried to…em…" he paused.
"Get frisky?"
"Yeah," Daniel's voice was barely above a whisper, "Ammonet stopped her. She then told me she'd let me talk to Sha're."
"And you just couldn't let that opportunity go by."
"Jack, she's my wife. I miss her," he stopped for a second before pulling himself back together, "They told me something that I'm not sure I believe."
"What?"
Daniel took a deep breath, "Ammonet says she is a member of the Tok'ra."
"That's why you asked Sam about it."
Daniel nodded and then told him the rest.
