"Legacy"

(A/N: *(Location)* means it's a memory. The regular (Location) is the setting in the present.

Ch. 9

(Enterprise, Nicole's Quarters)

Captain Archer had insisted to leave the Tok'ra Memory Device for one more night. The images the showed up on the holographic screen:

*(Ext. SGC)*

"We're officially even now," Angel said to Nicole.

"But, don't forget to call us, if you need too," Wes said.

"So, you believe in aliens now?" she asked.

"Sure, why not. I fight demons on a regular basses," he shrugged.

Nicole smiled and hugged him. Angel then hugged her.

"Don't get into too much trouble," he said.

Once she said good bye to them, it was Mutant X's turn. Jesse held up a metal box.

"Open it," he said.

She obeyed. Nicole gasped.

"A Com-link Ring!"

"It's so you could contact us when you need anymore help with the Goa'ulds," Jesse explained.

"Yeah, that way you won't give Shal and me a heart attack," Lexa said.

"Thank you," Nicole gave each of them hugs and gave Brennan and Jesse kisses on their cheeks.

SG-1 watched as the Double Helix lifted off then immediately went to stealth.

"So, are you still going to ask Hammond for a desk job?" Jack asked as the five headed back inside.

"I don't have a choice. I want Evey and her brother or sister to have somewhat of a normal childhood," Nicole said.

"I agree," Daniel said. "But you don't need to give up the thing you love the most!"

She sighed. "I love you and Evelyn the most. And I will do anything to keep the ones I love safe. , including giving up my career."

"As long as you're sure about this," he asked.

"I'm positive," she said. "I'm going to see General Hammond tomorrow morning.

And finally:

*(SGC, Hammond's office)*

Nicole stepped inside General Hammond's Office, carrying a 2 year old (Her proper age, where she would be right now with out the Nano-sites) Evelyn.

"General Hammond, sir,' she said.

Hammond looked up from his laptop and smiled.

"Good morning, Doctor," he said. "Have a seat. What can I do for you?"

Nicole sat and put a restless Evey down to play with her dolls.

"I was wondering, sir. I'd like to request that you take me off of SG-1 and give me a desk job instead." She said calmly and clearly.

"Of course, I'll put you in charge of the Archeological Research Department here on Base," he said. "But, are you sure?"

"Yes, General. Daniel spent al last night trying to change my decision. No matter what he said, I haven't changed my mind." Nicole said.

Hammond nodded, "Very well. I'm giving you a week off before you can go back to work, mostly to stay with Evelyn."

She nodded. "Thank you, sir,"

Nicole got up, picked up Evey and left the office.

(Enterprise, Nicole's Quarter's)

"You gave up all of that in order to raise Evelyn and Jonathan?" Archer asked.

"Yes, but it was only temporary," Nicole said. "If I remember correctly, once Evey and John were old enough, General Hammond authorized the two to stay on base while I was off-world with the rest of SG-1."

(Enterprise, Training Room)

"What I'm about to show you are technology that has been around longer then the Vulcan's have been around," Nicole started. "Most of these," she motioned over to the line of weapons. "Can be used by regular humans. But, this one," she put on the Hand device. "This is called a Ribbon Device. It can only be used if you have Naquida in your blood."

At that moment Selmack took over. She focused on the target, an empty container, and it flew several feet away.

"It also can scramble a humans brain, which is it's primary use," Selmack said.

Nicole took over again. She took off the Ribbon Device and picked up a Staff Weapon. She noticed Malcolm snicker.

"This weapon was mostly used by the Jaffa," Nicole said.

She pointed at the nearest wall and shot the weapon.

"As you can see it doesn't do much damage. It was mostly to scare everyone, in my opinion," She said as she leaned the Staff Weapon against the wall.

Nicole then picked up a Zat gun.

"This is by far my favorite weapon. We used the Zats a lot," she said. "Now, the first shot of a Zat gun only stuns. The victim will be out for quit some time. The second shot kills and the third disintegrates them,"

"What do you men disintegrates?" Major Hayes asked.

Nicole brought the empty container over to her, using her telekinesis. She aimed at the object and shot it three times. By the third, the container had disappeared. Malcolm was ginning from ear to ear.

"You see why these are my favorite?" she asked.

Everyone looked at one another, smiled, and nodded.

"With the Captain's permission you may practice using the Zat's if you'd like. We managed to get enough Zat's to arm the entire crew. So feel free to use them," Nicole said, motioning to the crate full of Zats.

On month later . . .

(Enterprise, Nicole's Quarter's)

Nicole laid on her bed, reading a book, when someone 'knocked' at the door.

"Come in," Nicole said.

She absentmindedly put a bookmark in her book and got up from her bed. Trip stepped into the room. Nicole jumped up and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her, surprised.

"Hey!" she said.

"Hi," he said. "You seem oddly cheerful."

"That's because I got some unexpected, but happy, news this morning," Nicole said.

"Is that why you asked me to come here after my shift?"

She nodded.

"I'm pregnant!" Nicole blurted out.

Trip gaped at her.

"You know I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days?"

He nodded.

"Well, I finally went to Phlox this morning," Nicole continued. "According to him, I'm four weeks pregnant." she waited for him to say something. When he didn't say anything, she said, "Trip, say something, anything."

"I'm gonna be a Daddy," was all he said.

Nicole nodded and kissed him. The two stood there, touching foreheads.

"You're going to be a Daddy," Nicole whispered.
