Chapter 2
A new home
"So." Jack said casually. "Find anything?"
"No, sir. When she said is disappeared, it really disappeared. We'll probably have to send a team through in about a week or so."
"Can do. Oh, and, uh, we're taking Thera home with us."
"What?!"
"I've already cleared it with Stargate Command.. Daniel had to either bring her with us, or leave her to die."
"Wow. I wonder how she'll react, being back on Earth. I doubt she even knows what month it is."
"You're probably right, sir. I think Daniel's telling her right now."
They were both quiet, then. . .
"You know what Carter? I don't think I've seen an odder pair. They're never shy around strangers, but around each other. . . . I mean, they hardly talk and they're almost identical! I mean, When they talk, it's like they're talking in another language, about rocks and fairy tales- "
"You're just jealous cause you don't have a clue what they're talking about."
Jack glared at his 2IC.
" You talk in another language too, Carter, you know that?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'll miss you." Thera whispered, looking Tolm straight in the eyes. SG1 had had the decency to leave the two alone for a while.
"And I you, Thera."
"I'll come visit you this week."
"Don't. You need to save your strength."
"Fine. I'll wait. Would Kajren like to speak with N'kiri?"
"She is too weak."
"She can muster it." Thera said, dropping her head down to her chest and summoning N'kiri. Kajren took control as well.
"Goodbye." each goa'uld simbeote said in turn to the other. In turn, each flashed their eyes, and touched lips in a passionate kiss, but when they parted, their hosts were once again in control.
"I love you." Thera whispered.
"I love you too, my goa'uld woman." Tolm said. "But now you must go." he handed her a small bag, filled only with her ribbon device, Egyptian clothes, and a few other trinkets. With a heavy heart, Thera turned and left the small house she had called home for the past eight months, limping with her crutch, and stepped through the stargate with the rest of SG1.
"Will we have to give General Hammond a briefing." Thera asked Daniel as they reappeared back on Earth.
"Uh, yeah, um, see. . . General Hammond got reassigned by the President, and Dr. Weir works here."
"That sucks." Thera muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Thera sat in the briefing room, much to the protest of Dr. Frasier, along with the rest of SG1, giving dr. Weir ("dr. Weird." Thera thought scathingly to herself) a debriefing. Weir just seemed to smile and nod. Thera glared at her. She had liked General Hammond. When the doctor asked Thera to give an account, she simply said-
"Got there, got beat up, found a machine, saw it disappear, got beat up some more, came here."
Dr. Weir sighed.
"Listen, I know you don't like me for replacing General Hammond, but- "
Thera had her hand in the air.
"Uh, question! What does that have to do with Caressia?"
Thera didn't see the other members of SG1 blush slightly, embarrassed by her sudden outburst. The debriefing lasted several more hours, and at one point, Thera questioned the meeting's relevance, when they were finally allowed to leave. Just before they all left, however, Daniel assured Dr. Weir that Thera usually wasn't like that.
With quite a bit of convincing, Doctor Frasier finally allowed Thera to leave with Daniel, and unfortunately, no one had thought to tell Thera what month it was.
"Omigosh!" she cried, taking one step out of the base. "It's freezing!"
"Yeah." Daniel said hesitantly. "It's, uh, November. Here, I usually keep an extra sweater in here."
He handed her a large, blue, wool sweater, which she immediately pulled over her shoulders. Warmth spread through her like water, and she climbed into the car behind Daniel. For a while, they drove in silence, neither mustering up the courage to speak to the other. After a time. . .
"So." Daniel said, trying to start a conversation. "Are you, uh, excited about school?"
"Populars, bullies, tests, detentions, yeah, I'm thrilled."
"Uh, I guess not. At least you'll uh, make some new friends, right?"
"I hope."
More silence, as they both stared intently out the window, eyes on the road.
"So, has the child been born yet?"
"Uh no." Daniel said. "But he's expected to arrive in a couple of weeks."
"That's nice."
"yeah."
Yet another pause. This time, they were silent all the way until they reached his apartment. When they walked in together, they received quite a few odd stares from people who knew Daniel personally, and he explained a story not so far from the truth. But at the same time, a complete lie. According to this story, Sha're and Daniel had been married quite some time ago, and they had been separated before Thera's birth. Nobody had known about Thera, nor that Sha're was still alive, as she had been lost on an expedition and presumed dead. Then, about eight months ago, he had found her and Thera, and Thera had ended up going to a fancy boarding school where she could get a good education. But they missed her so much that they'd decided to bring her back. The reason she was walking with a crutch and had so many injuries, was she had had a bad riding accident. All the other apartment owners believed this without question.
They traveled up the elevator and arrived at his apartment. He pulled out the card key, put it through a slot, and allowed them inside.
"Sha're." he called. "I'm home early!"
A familiar woman walked out of one of the rooms, a bright smile on her face as she kissed her husband in greeting, and seeing Thera, gave a cry of joy and hugged her as well. Sha're suddenly gasped, seeing Thera's wounds, and Daniel explained the whole situation to Sha're, while Thera put her small bag in the guest bedroom, which Daniel had mentioned would soon be her own. Rather than return to the kitchen, where her parents were sitting, talking, Thera sat down on the bed and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling. This place was so strange, compared to her smaller room in Caressia. But the strangest part by far was the lack of Tolm. She missed him so much. Gently, she held her crutch and looked at it intently. Tolm had carved it for her. She might never see him again. This was her home now. With parents she hardly knew.
