Only one more part left. To whoever's reading this, hope you enjoy.

Daniel shivered as he stepped out of the wormhole and onto the planet. He knew Ari was very mature for sixteen but she was still just a girl, his little girl and he was terrified.

"Ari's got a good head on her shoulders," Nick reminded him, "She's going to be okay."

"Nick, she hasn't contacted me," Daniel replied, "Until she does, let me worry."

Nick nodded and turned as Jack called to them.

"Okay guys," Jack said, "Let's head to the camp and see if there's any clues to where Ari was taken."

Sam and Teal'c took point with Daniel just behind them as Jack and Nick fell in step at the rear.

"He's worried," Nick answered Jack before he even asked.

"No kidding," Jack replied, "So, what is your job here?"

"I'm Ari's guardian," Nick reminded him, "Although I've done a great job so far."

"None of us could have predicted this," Jack told him with a sigh, "The only thing we can do now is find her and get her back home safely."

Nick shivered, "It's not that long since we thought we'd lost Daniel."

Jack shrugged, "He does that a lot, or he did before she came into his life."

Nick laughed before adjusting his sunglasses slightly, "But it's a nice day."

Ari stared at Osiris, her mind flicking over what her father had told her. The host had once been a friend of his, an ex-girlfriend even and now she was the face of a mortal enemy. Someone who wanted to destroy him and all he loved.

"You were such a beautiful child," Osiris said as she gently stroked Ari's face, "Very perceptive as well. You wouldn't allow me to hold you, though on reflection I don't know if I would have been able to stop myself from snapping your neck."

"Go to hell," Ari spat at her.

Osiris laughed before her hand swept across Ari's cheek making it sting, "You shall be more respectful of you're elders or I shall not just slap you child."

Ari glared at her with ice in her blue eyes.

"Now, I know what you can do child," Osiris told her, "I watched you influence my Jaffa, I saw you escape your cell and I know you can contact Daniel Jackson with a thought. So you will call to your father and bring him here."

"No," Ari whispered.

Osiris gripped the girl's throat and started to squeeze, "Call to him or you die."

As the Gould squeezed tears spilled along Ari's cheeks and she closed her eyes throwing out the thought, "Dad."

They were browsing through the abandoned campsite when Daniel suddenly stiffened.

"Dad," Ari called to him, "Help me."

"Ari, where are you?"

"In a Goa'uld ship, Osiris has me," Ari told him, "But it's a trap. Osiris wants you here. She's going to try and kill you."

"It's alright," Daniel soothed his daughter, "Just lead me to you."

"I'm scared Daddy," Ari cried.

"I know honey," Daniel tried to calm her; "I'll be there soon. I promise."

Daniel let the contact break allowing his mind to linger on her so that she could feel his presence before he turned to the others.

"Ari just contacted me," he told them seeing relief cover all their faces, "Osiris has her."

"It's a trap," Jack stated.

"Ari said that too," Daniel shrugged, "That's why I have to go in alone."

"What?"

"Daniel you can't."

"Daniel Jackson that is unwise."

Daniel grimaced as the voices all yelled at him, only Jack was silent his dark eyes boring into Daniel.

"If I go in then Osiris is going to let me get to Ari," Daniel explained pleading his case to Jack; "If I can get to Ari I can help her. Osiris isn't going to be able to stop both of us."

"Why has Ari not already used her abilities to escape from Osiris?" Teal'c asked.

"Because she's afraid," Daniel explained, "It's paralysing, only Osiris pressuring her made her contact me so I go in with you guys waiting to join us as soon as you can but quietly."

"It's a good plan," Nick said, "With one exception. I'm Ari's Guardian, I need to be there."

"No," Daniel snapped.

Their eyes locked but it was Daniel who conceded, "Fine, but stay out of sight."

"That won't be a problem," Nick smiled at him.

"Dad," Ari cried twisting out of the Jaffa's grip she ran to him.

Daniel caught her and gave her a brief hug before pushing her behind him.

"Daniel Jackson," Osiris crowed strutting to stand in front of them, "This time you shall not escape me. You shall die and I shall use the weapon Apophis created to become Supreme System Lord."

"No," Ari whispered gripping her father's arm, "I won't help you."

"You have no choice," Osiris told her in a mock sweet voice.

Ari's blue eyes flashed with ice, "Yes I do."

She could feel the power building up within her and stepped out from her father's protection. Holding up her hand she stopped the Jaffa as they moved to grab her and Daniel repelling them with a shield.

She could feel the power…her power…the power she had been created to use…

Ranon stood staring at the woman.

"Why would you wish to help us?" he asked suspicious of her.

"The Goa'uld shall become a plague within this universe," the woman stated simply, her clothes a brilliant white almost blinded him yet he couldn't remove his gaze.

"We're going to stop them," Ranon replied.

"Your magics are strong," she told him, "But they are not strong enough to remove all the creatures."

"As long as we remove the ones here," Ranon replied, "Nothing else matters."

She laughed but there was no humour within it, "You are wrong."

"How?" Ranon demanded.

"Although you remove one, another shall rise to take its place," she told him, "You must remove them all and you must do it in one fell swoop."

"There is no way to do that," Ranon argued, "Our magic has nothing that powerful."

"But I do," she told him.

She held out her hand and two glowing crystals appeared, "Together these can destroy the Goa'uld throughout the entire universe yet spare the hosts."

Ranon looked at them in confusion, "Just those?"

She nodded, "Use them in the exact way you have planned. Within the girl place this one," she revealed one that pulsed faintly purple, "And this one within the boy," she held up the one pulsing faintly green, "When they create the child the power shall be there ready to be released."

"Why?" Ranon demanded, "Why come to us? Why not do this yourself?"

She dropped her head, "My kind feel they should no longer take a part within the affairs of those on this plain. We are responsible for allowing these creatures to move so freely and I shall no longer just stand back and watch."

Ranon nodded, reaching out for the crystals he shivered feeling the tremendous power he held within his hands.

"Who are you?" he asked as she turned to leave.

"I am called Oma."

Daniel didn't know what he was doing but he stepped to one side of his daughter as she glared at the Gould in front of them. Placing his hand on her shoulder he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and glanced over his shoulder feeling a jolt as he saw Mel Jackson standing there and just behind him was a man Daniel suddenly realised was his grandfather then his great-grandfather and so on back through to the original man the Vampires used for the prophecy.

As he stared at his father realisation hit him, if his ancestors were here then that meant…turning he saw his wife standing resting her hand on their daughter's shoulder. Behind her was her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and Daniel smiled to see how similar they all were.

Sha're turned to look at him and he gazed at her…

"You're worried," Sha're stated as they sat waiting for the ones from Earth to return.

"A little," he admitted, "I keep thinking that I'm going to end up fighting to stay."

Sha're frowned, "You think O'Neill will try and make you leave? He wouldn't, would he?"

Daniel shrugged starting to pace, "I don't know. I mean he did say he was going to lie for us so something must have happened to make him come back and that means he had to tell his superiors we were all still alive."

Sha're moved and stepped directly in his path reaching out to gently touch his cheek, "Worrying about things you can't change isn't good for you my husband."

"It's something I can't help," Daniel laughed.

"Maybe I can take your mind off it," Sha're leaned closer to him and brushed her lips to his.

Daniel smiled moving closer to her and deepening the kiss feeling her arms slide around him. His wife gave a mischievous giggle as she moved away from him before shedding her dress.

"Sha're," Daniel said, "The others are outside."

"We will just have to be very quiet," she laughed as she started to pull off his robes.

Daniel relented, sliding out of his robes before pulling her down onto the mat on the floor resting on his wife who looked up at him stroking his arms.

"Maybe this time we will get the child we want," she whispered.

Daniel gently rubbed his nose against hers making her laugh, "Maybe," he leaned close and kissed her.

Daniel loved watching Sha're as they made love. Her dark eyes filled with such passion as they kissed and fooled around but as he moved deep inside her she half-closed them her lips parted slightly as she sighed with pleasure. Suddenly her eyes opened wide and she gasped. Daniel was sure he saw a faint purple glow within her eyes, as Sha're saw a faint green glow within his.

Sha're held Daniel as they lay together, somehow she knew deep down that she would never get to do this again. She knew that they had made love for the last time and she wanted to cry but couldn't.

"I love you," Daniel whispered to her as he moved to get dressed.

Before she could answer the room shook and she knew she was going to lose him but there was nothing she could do.

Ari didn't know how but the power filling her suddenly seemed to double and she focussed on Osiris.

"Stop," Osiris cried twisting futilely to move from where she stood held there by Ari, "I am…a God…you cannot…" the Goa'uld suddenly screamed and fell to the floor before the cry changed to a woman's cry.

Ari started to shake as the power within her manifested in a wave of energy that swept through the room before moving out onto the planet and beyond into the universe.

Ari stopped shaking and started to crumble to the ground. Daniel caught her and hugged her tightly as held onto him.

"It's okay," he soothed, "It's over. You're okay."

He helped her to stand again smiling at her, "There's someone I want you to meet."

"Who?" Ari asked wondering who could be in this place that her father would actually know but as Daniel moved from in front of her she gasped, "Momma?"

Sha're stepped forward and gently touched Ari's cheek, "Hello my beautiful Arianna."

Ari gasped and moved into her mother's arms holding her tightly unable to stop her tears.

Daniel turned to find Nick standing in awe of what he'd just witnessed.

"Remind me never to annoy her," Nick said with a smile.

Daniel grinned as he watched his daughter crying in his wife's arms, "Just like her mother."

"Daniel?" a soft voice called from the floor.

Daniel started as he realised Sarah was lying there, free of the Gould and completely confused. He grabbed Nick's arm and they both knelt beside her.

"Sarah?" Daniel asked helping her to sit up, "You okay?"

Sarah stared at him, "What happened to you? You look so much…" she trailed off as she looked around and down at her own clothing, "It wasn't a dream, was it? I really did those things."

"No, Osiris did those things," Daniel gently assured her, "Nick is going to stay with you while I check on my daughter."

Sarah nodded.

"I'll take care of her," Nick assured him, "And I'll contact Jack."

Daniel sighed in relief; he couldn't handle Jack just now. Before he reached where Sha're and Ari were standing with several of Sha're's ancestors he came to Mel Jackson.

"Dad," Daniel couldn't keep the smile from his face.

Mel didn't say a word instead he pulled his son into a tight embrace, Daniel knew what Ari must be feeling in Sha're's arms as he held onto his father for a few minutes.

"Your mother and I are so proud of you," Mel whispered to him, "She wishes she could have been here too but it was only those from the line that were able to come and support you both."

"You have to tell her I love you both," Daniel managed to push past the tears threatening him, "That I miss you always."

"It is time for us to leave," Mel said, "Tell Ari she is always watched over by us and we love and are very proud of her."

"I will," Daniel watched as his father stepped back to rejoin the other men from the Jackson line who suddenly faded into nothingness.

Taking in a shuddering breath Daniel turned to where only his wife and daughter stood.

"You have to go too?" Daniel asked Sha're sadly.

"Yes," she whispered.

"Don't," Ari cried, "Please stay, stay with us."

"I cannot. I no longer exist on the same plain as you," Sha're's dark brown eyes filled with tears, "I love you both so much and I am always with you Ari but I am not allowed to stay."

The girl let out a sob and wrapped her arms around her mother's slender form; Daniel moved and wrapped his arms around them both, tears filling his eyes also.

"Come on honey," Daniel moved her away from Sha're.

Sha're gently kissed Ari's forehead, "I love you, Arianna."

"I love you too," Ari whispered as she gripped her father.

Sha're turned to Daniel, "We always seem to be saying goodbye my husband."

Daniel nodded and kissed her holding her tightly with his free arm, "I love you," he sighed as she stepped away.

She took one last look at them both before she faded into the background. Daniel wrapped his arms around Ari as she started to cry.

"Let's go home Ari," Daniel whispered.
