Spoilers: Small one for Season 7 'Fragile Balance'

I must have blacked out...I remember squat....well exactly why my arse is been dragged wherever and I'm not exactly in full control of my body functions just yet. It's all a blur.

And yet I'm still getting visuals, like a videotape stuck on repeat.

I got these images of Carter...of Sam, I don't know how or why but she's always there, there's a figure in there I haven't even seen before and oddly I'm getting photo shots of me too. Then it's gone and darkness comes.

I come round feeling like I've just been zatted yet again and I let out a groan in discomfort. When I can focus I survey my surroundings, its daylight, from the looks of the camp fire and the disturbance on the ground next to me I wasn't alone, yet our position was resemble secure, trees tend to come in handy and well I'm seeing lots of them.

I pick myself up, dust of the pants there's noise coming from in the forest if I had a guess whatever it was, was straight in front of me and quite close searching for my weapon I didn't have it and it was no where to be seen, so I decided to go right on in there, not the best plan, but a little caution and I might get some answers to what the hell was going on.

I walk for a little while following the sound that's getting closer, right now I'm guessing someone's not feeling too great. I stop dead in my tracks as I see a blonde figure in the distance, slowly I move so as not to give my position away....it's Carter.

Boy she's really sick she's throwing up bad, strangely she isn't in uniform either just this gown.

I move to her startling her but not meaning to, she's been crying I can tell that much just from the words she tries to choke out at me while continuing to loose the content of her stomach "I'm sorry Sir"

Then nothing.

Somehow I'm back at the camp, its not only the crackle from the fire can be heard, I'm removing something from a make shift stove and carrying it to her "we need to talk" she offers weakly" sitting up with my help and accepting the 'food' I place in front of her.

"Sir we both know..."

"No we don't"

"Sir"

"Let's just get home first"

"Sir I'm pregnant"

"You can't know that for sure"

"No, but I feel..."

"We'll get home tomorrow Carter promise"

Everything changes.

We're heading back to the gate I'm carrying Sam in my arms. I'm forced to stop dead in my tracks as this guy appears from nowhere.

"Her DNA has been altered" he speaks

"Why? I asked

"If we had not, the life within, she would not survive, you carry the marker from our enemy, but he has been granted the mark of the Asguard, long ago our friends. She that grows within process that which your bond brings for this reason we have given the gift written in time, so we can help our friends in the dark time to come"

"Can we forget?" she's asking

"Carter" I protest

"Sir it's the only way"

"No it's not"

I'm sat in very close proximity to her, well to be more exact she's sat in front of me resting against me her hand resting where her child grows. Getting a look in her eyes she's saying it all right there but I hear words anyway.

"It has to be this way, not for me, not for you, just for her so no one truly knows how and why she exists, only that she does"

"Her gift is precious we can do as you ask only her soul guardian will know what was, and what is to be, now leave this place"

AN: That's it I've come to the end of yet another story. Look out in August 2004 for more from me...so if anyone wants another sequel to this review and let me know.
