Jay was leaning over the side of the crib, smiling at the bright eyed baby. "Hey buddy, whatcha doin'." Jonah gurgled and kicked his legs enthusiastically, making Jay laugh. "Yeah, I know what you mean." He picked up his son, and patted him gently as he took him to the changing table. Jay quickly changed him, then took him into Buffy. Her eyes opened sleepily, "The all night diner is open." She murmured, making Jay chuckle as he lay down beside her and handed her the baby. He watched in awe as she nursed their son, running his fingers gently over her breast, making her shiver.

"Stop." She whispered half heartedly, then smiled as he leaned forward and kissed her.

"I love you mommy." He whispered, making her giggle. The baby stopped nursing for a moment to blink at them owlishly, as if considering what they were doing over his head, then leaned back and began nursing again.

Jay chuckled, "Well that was funny."

Gently rubbing her son's head Buffy smiled, "There are times it seems like he knows what is going on around him, then other times he is just so fascinated by his toes."

With another kiss Jay asked, "I've got to head in. Is Willow coming over?" Carefully moving out of the bed so as not to disturb the baby. Willow had been coming over everyday to help Buffy with Jonah.

"Yeah, she'll be here at 7:30."

"Ok, be careful, keep the thing with you at all times…" Jay began his usual morning litany.

"Call if something happens, blah blah, I know Jay. I was protecting myself from monsters before we met." Buffy moved slightly and the baby let out a protest, "Sorry sweetie." She murmured and grinned at her husband, "The cow moved. Bad mommy."

This made Jay laugh and he shook his head and got into the shower. Buffy got up and picked up Jonah, pulling on a robe before heading downstairs to make Jay coffee and get some cereal out. As the coffee was brewing she sat in the rocking chair that was a gift from SG-1 and SG-2 and continued to feed the baby.

Jay walked downstairs, dressed in his fatigues and running a brisk hand through his still damp hair. He kissed Buffy and went to the coffee maker and poured himself some before sitting down at the table, "We need corn pops or something." He said, grimacing at the raisin bran on the table.

"Talk to Will, she thinks we eat too much junk food."

"I'll shop next time." Jay stated emphatically. The door rattled and Willow walked in, smiling at Jay and cooing at Jonah. "Eating early this morning little man?" she bent down to tickle his feet and his legs jerked, his eyes bright.

"Hi Will." Buffy said, rolling her eyes at her husband.

"Morning Buffy." Willow set down her enormous purse and sat beside Jay with a sigh.

"Good morning to you too Will." Jay gently shoved her with his shoulder, making her smile. "Hi Jay."

Jay got up, "I'm going to eat at the mountain. I love you." He kissed Buffy.

After he left the women did the basic housework and Willow watched Jonah while Buffy showered and changed.

"I'm gonna take Jonah to the park, we could both do with the sunshine. I'm feeling like Angel, cooped up in the house and brooding."

"Heavens, anything but that!" Willow gasped.

"Har har. Come on Jonah, time for some sunshine." Buffy walked out of the house, Jonah in his carrier in one hand and the diaper bag in the other. The sunshine raised her spirits, making her momentarily forget the threat that hovered over them.

In the dark blue van Simmons smiled, then looked over at the goa'uld in the passenger seat, "Recognize her?"

The goa'uld growled, "She is the one who caused me to become captured."

"Oh yes, we're going to take her and her child, and make the SGC pay." He pulled the dark blue van with the tinted windows up beside Buffy, then a little ahead. He stopped and pulled his zat, "Hello Mrs. Coburn."

Buffy cursed, she knew it, the day had started out so well. She stopped, glancing at the baby to make sure he was asleep. "Simmons." She said quietly, her heart pounding violently.

"Get in the back quietly and I won't kill your little baby." His eyes were just this side of insanity and Buffy recognized the danger she was in. She nodded and let him take her to the back of the van, watching as he opened the doors and she crawled inside, lifting the baby carrier carefully, letting the door slam shut. She looked around, realizing that she couldn't see him, and he couldn't see her.

Simmons got into the driver's seat and began to drive. He had a plan, and it would pay handsomely. He didn't realize that the goa'uld had a plan as well.

Buffy pulled out the communicator and activated it, "Now Thor." She said quietly. She watched as Jonah disappeared and then she dug into the larger than normal diaper bag and pulled out the weighted baby doll that she and Willow had bought, wrapped it up in the blanket just like Jonah had been and placed it inside the carrier.

Thor watched, as the baby was transport to the flat surface in front of him. The scientists peered at the sleeping child in fascination, then as one moved back as the baby yawned and opened it's eyes. Thor left Freyr and the scientists to their devices and transported himself to the SGC.

Klaxons sounded and the security teams pounded to the gateroom, followed by General Hammond and SG-1.

"Thor buddy! How are ya?"

The gray alien inclined its head, "I am well O'Neill. However, Buffy Coburn is not. She and her son were taken by the rogue human, and a goa'uld."

The General turned sharply, "Sgt. Davis, please let Colonel Coburn know."

"Yes sir."

"Jonah?" Sam asked, making sure that the plan was now in action.

"He is safe onboard the Belliskner."

Jack sighed, "Can you take us to Buffy?" he looked over as Jay skidded into the gateroom.

"Colonel Coburn. As soon as you are ready I will transport you to Buffy Coburn's location." Thor looked at the men doubtfully, "You will not all fit into the back of the motorized vehicle that Buffy Coburn is now in."

Jay and Jack exchanged a smiled, "Let us get our weapons and take us up to your ship. As soon as the vehicle has stopped you can transport us down."

"That will be acceptable." Thor said. It was a tense several minutes for SG-1 and Jay to get changed and get their weapons, but moments later they were on Thor's ship, the loud crying of an infant immediately noticeable.

Thor looked at the scientists, "What has happened to the infant?" it asked severely.

Jay handed off his weapons to Jack and walked over to his son, picking him up. "What's the matter big guy?" He crooned to his son who was crying loudly.

Heimdahl, one of the scientists that SG-1 had rescued before walked up, looking a little frazzled around the edges, "We have ascertained that he is not in pain, nor in need of nourishment. He is also clean, why does he continue to make that noise?" it asked in it's high voice.

Jay rocked Jonah slightly and the baby quieted, then his eyes slid shut, "He's tired and misses his mom, that's all." Sam walked over and peered at the baby, "He's so cute." She whispered.

One of Thor's subordinates walked up, "The motorized vehicle has stopped Commander Thor."

Buffy felt the van stop and the back door opened. She took her chance and kicked out with her feet, knocking Simmons down and taking the baby carrier ran off into the trees. The goa'uld took this chance and attacked Simmons and the two men wrestled around on the ground. The goa'uld was stronger but Frank Simmons was crafty and pulled a knife, stabbing the goa'uld in the heart. What he forgot was that goa'uld are very self serving and as soon as the symbiote realized that it's host was dying it crawled out and jumped into Simmons' mouth, choking him momentarily.

After a moment Simmon's eyes flashed gold and he smiled, "What an interesting plan." And he climbed to his feet and headed into the woods after Buffy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Moment's later SG-1 and Jay appeared beside the van. Sam immediately went to the dead man and knelt down, "The symbiote's gone sir." And she stood back up.

"Of course it is, now Simmons is a goa'uld. Let's move out." He gestured and the 5 of them disappeared into the woods, Teal'c and Jay tracking Buffy.

"She left an obvious trail for us to follow Jay Coburn." Teal'c commented quietly.

"Let's hope that Simmons can't track very well."

^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Buffy ran through the trees, making a lot of noise and a path easy enough for a five year old to follow.

"Mrs. Coburn, give us the child. We'll make sure that it is taken care of. The people that my host have picked out will pay me handsomely for the child." Her pursuer called out.

"Never!" Buffy shouted, almost forgetting that the baby in the carrier wasn't real. She stopped and listened, then she heard others in the trees as well. Sighing with relief she turned and was face to face with Colonel Frank Simmons. His eyes flashed and he smiled cruelly, "Hand me the child, and I won't hurt you. Much." When she didn't move fast enough for him he jerked the carrier from her, making her cry out, then shoved her hard against a tree, making her nearly pass out as her head connected with it's trunk.

The goa'uld pulled the blanket back and eyed the doll in puzzlement, "What is this?" He roared angrily.

Teal'c stepped out of the trees with Jay beside him, "It is the end." Teal'c said, and fired his staff weapon, a direct hit to Simmons' chest. The man dropped the baby carrier and fell to his knees, then to his face in the pine needles on the forest floor. The symbiote crawled out of the injured man's mouth and headed towards the nearly unconscious Buffy.

Jack, Daniel and Sam entered the clearing in time to call a warning, but no one was close enough to stop what happened next.
