"An Amazon's War"

Ch. 3

(SGC, Briefing Room)

Tris hung her mouth opened. "But, sir. . . "

"I'm sorry, Trisana," Hammond said. "You are to go home and enjoy your maternity leave. That's an order.

"Sir," Tris started to argue.

"I would advise you to not argue with the general, Dr. Fox," Teal'c said.

"That's probably a good idea," Jack said.

"Are any of you going to back me up on this?" Tris looked around at her friends.

"You should really start taking it easy, Tris," Daniel said.

"I don't think it's good for the twins to be going off world all of the time," Sam said.

Tris crossed her arms angrily. "I'll be home if anybody wants me," White lights appeared around her again and she disappeared from the SGC.

"This power is going to be fun," Jack said.

"Thank goodness it's only for another month and a half," Daniel said.

"Wait till the twins come. They're gonna be two tough babies to catch," Sam said.

Hammond waited till they were finished discussing what trouble the baby will get into. Once they had finished he said, "SG Teams 1, 2, 3, and 4 will depart at 0300 hours. That gives you guys all morning to get ready. I'll contact Lila. You're dismissed."

"Tris listen to me," Daniel said. "Listen." He managed to make her stop walking away from him to say, "I'm sorry. I know how important helping the Dragon Amazons are to you." She walked into the kitchen and busily started to make some herbal tea. Daniel followed and continued. "Tris, please just stop for a moment."

She turned around and their eyes locked. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Trisana hated fighting with him. This was one of those occasions where they disagreed about anything. Daniel cupped his hands on her cheeks and wiped her tears with his thumbs.

"If you know how important this is to me, than why don't you just let me come with you?" Tris asked once she calmed down.

"Tris, if General Hammond didn't give you orders, you probably could get away with coming. But, the fact that he did give you orders to stay here and rest. You have no choice but to stay," Daniel said softly.

"SG-1 has not followed orders before to save earth countless times. Why can't I do the same now to save the Amazons from being slaughtered?" she asked.

"Because none of us was pregnant with a pair of twins when any of us did,"

"But, that's an advantage to us," she looked at him. "I'm not planning on fighting the war, Daniel. I plan on stopping it."

"Tris . . ."

"Daniel . . ."

"You're being irrational,"

"And you're being over protective. I'm not a child, Daniel," she said.

"Yes, I know. But, you're caring two of ours," he said.

"I'm doing this with or without the SGC's help," she said stubbornly. "I wish it was with." With that she orbed to the Gate Room.

"Damn it, Tris!" Daniel quickly locked up the manor and drove quickly to the SGC.
