Chapter 7
Daniel and Andrea sit on a blanket on top of Cheyenne Mountain. A full moon casts a bright light over them. "You really think I should go to Washington this week?"
Andrea holds a piece of grass in her hands. "I do." Andrea tears the grass in half.
"You're too quiet. Have you had a vision lately?" Daniel turns Andrea toward him.
"No, just thinking. I have a lot on my mind." Andrea drops the grass and looks at Daniel.
"Jack doesn't think you should go so soon. I know you haven't been sleeping well the past week." Daniel recalls several nights where Andrea woke up in a soaking in sweat.
"I'm fine Daniel. It's just nightmares. I still haven't gotten over seeing Sarah that way." Andrea's face shows no emotion.
"Then why do I get the feeling it's more than that." Daniel gently grabs Andrea's arm.
"Maybe it is. I never know, Daniel, I chose to be a goa'uld she didn't. Daniel when I saw her I could feel Osiris controlling everything. In my head I could here Sarah crying out." Andrea turns her head to hide the tears falling on her cheeks.
"It takes time to get use to. I was very surprised when Yu ascended. I didn't think he could." Daniel says changing the subject.
"You know more about that then I. This theory that I am part Ancient is a little scary. Since we have come back no one has talked about the Lost City if we found it maybe I could learn more." Andrea says looking up.
"Some how finding the Lost City got put on the back burner because of the stones. We really need to find it. Anubis is half Ascended he knows too much of the Ancients those stones aren't going to be useful for very long." Daniel looks up at the moon then to Andrea.
"I agree. I think right now the Stones are easier to find." Andrea stands up quickly still staring at the moon.
"What is it?" Daniel says standing too, looking up.
"Thor is here. I love you!" Andrea says before disappearing.
"I love you too!" Daniel whispers annoyed.
Andrea looks at Thor then around her. The room she's in is open; there are four seats in front of different control centers. A large window looks down on earth. "WOW! I'm impressed." Andrea says walking around.
"It was finish while you were captured" Thor stands, while Andréa sits in the pilot's seat.
"This is so cool! It's multi-lingual!" Andrea spins around in the chair.
Thor speaks still standing "It was made to your specifications, as well as internal guides that should help you and Major Carter fix any problems should you ever have any."
"And I can up grade it?" Andrea asks turning around in the chair again.
"Not with out Asgard approval." Thor says with authority.
"Of course Thor, I wouldn't do that!" Andrea says in a defensive tone.
"You're carrying a child!" Thor says moving to stand next to the chair.
Andrea beams. "I am!"
"There is a problem" Thor says touching Andrea's arm.
"Thor what do you mean?" Andrea's face turns from happy to confused and concern.
"The changes in your DNA are coming apart. The Naquidah was holding them together." Thor says looking at Andrea.
"Oh no! I won't use the sarcophagus again Thor. Can you fix it?" Andrea holds her stomach protectively.
"Heimdall knows of the changes to your DNA. He will know how to help you. It will require you to extend your trip." Thor says touching Andrea's arm.
"I understand. The baby is important to me and Daniel. I won't lose it." Andrea says starting to cry.
"I understand Andrea you are very important to what is happening in the Universe." Thor pauses. "I would like you to return for the meeting with representatives from the major powers of Earth."
Andrea wipes the tears from her eyes. "Alright, May I ask why?"
"The Asgard council would like to you speak on our behalf when we are not able to attend the meetings. The Leaders of earth seem to lack the knowledge of how things work among the different races. Your council with the SGC has been great, and we would like you to continue representing the Asgard."
"Thor that is a big responsibility. Are you sure? Why not ask Colonel O'Neill?" Andrea looks puzzled.
Thor looks out at earth. "Colonel O'Neill lacks the political knowledge you have."
"That is true."
"You will also be given the Authority to consult the SGC on our behalf."
Andrea laughs. "Colonel O'Neill is not really going to like that."
"Colonel O'Neill will be able to speak through you. Together you and O'Neill will bring earth closer to becoming the Fifth Race." Thor says turning again to Andrea.
"Alright, I shall endeavor to be back on time. I will message the SGC then leave orbit. Thank you for warning me about my changes. I would be please if you not mention it to anyone other than Heimdall." Andrea gives Thor a pleading look.
"I shall do so. You must however be careful; the ship has healing pods. You should rest in one while you travel." Thor says before disappearing.
Andrea moves several controls.
Sgt. Davis sits at the control reading the computer. Andrea's voice comes over the com. "SGC this is Dr. Jackson."
Sgt. Davis stops. "Come in Ma'am. Who can I get for you?"
"I'd like to speak with Dr. Jackson and Major Carter if she is still in." Andrea's voice sounds strong.
"Of course ma'am it will be a few minutes." Sgt. Davis turns the com off then speaks over the bases microphone. "Dr. Jackson and Major Carter to Gate control Please."
"What is it Sergeant?" Major Carter asks coming up the steps into the control room.
"It's Dr. Jackson; she wishes to speak with you." Davis says getting out of the way.
"Alright." Sam sits down and turns on the com. "Hi Andrea I thought you would be long gone by now."
Andrea laughs. "Nope. Look, Thor delivered me a package and when I return I will need your assistance in hooking the package up to the SGC. If you could get five watches out of storage. I'll explain later."
Daniel walks up behind Sam. "Hey Sam what's going on."
"Alright" Sam says then whispers, "its Andrea."
"Daniel sorry about before. Look I wanted you to know that I'm gonna be longer than I expected. Something has come up that is extremely important. Thor wants me at the meeting in Washington so I'll be back then."
"Anything we can do to help?" Sam asks looking up at Daniel.
"No, it's okay. Daniel if you could lay a suit on the bed I would be grateful. I'll pick it up before I show up at the meeting."
"Alright." Daniel says scratching the back of his neck.
"Andrea, Colonel O'Neill isn't going to happy about you being gone so long." Sam looks at the gate.
"I know, but he's going to be so happy when I get back. Sorry to cut it short but I need to go." Andrea says turning of the com before Daniel can answer.
"Okay, that was weird." Daniel says a little worried.
"What do you mean?" Sam turns around in the chair.
Daniel's hands both down at his sides. "One I expected her to go right away. Two she ended without letting me say good-bye."
"She said it was important. Daniel try not to worry, the Asgard know what they are doing." Sam says getting up.
"I know Sam; it's just not like her." Daniel says looking at Sam then relaxing.
Daniel and Jonas sit in the commissary eating breakfast. Daniel's face looks warn and tired opposed to Jonas's expression of Joy. "General Hammond postponed the mission to Turkey again. You should be happy!." Jonas is voice says in a normal tone.
Daniel stabs his oatmeal with a spoon. "Jonas."
"Yes, Daniel?" Jonas says taking another bite of his cereal.
O'Neill follow by Teal'c come up behind Jonas then circle the table to sit down. "Daniel you don't look so hot." Jack looks at Teal'c.
"Indeed." Teal'c lays his tray down and sits down in a chair.
"I didn't sleep last night." Daniel says pulling off his glasses and rubbing his face.
Jonas finishes chewing. "He's worried about Andrea."
"Ah," Jack shakes his head. "I thought Carter told you not to worry." Jack picks up his coffee cup.
"It's hard Jack, She's pregnant, and she's alone." Daniel says pulling his hand away from his face.
"She's is. But she's with Thor. He'll take care of her." O'Neill sips more of his coffee.
"Do we absolutely know that for sure Jack?" Daniel questions.
"Yes, No, but Daniel it's the Asgard she's fine. Don't worry she's going to be back on Thursday." Jack looks at Daniel with confidence.
"Jonas Quinn, will you being staying with Rya'c while I am away?" Teal'c says breaking a long silence.
"Actually if it's okay with you Teal'c, Dr. Fraiser has invited me to bring Rya'c to her house. General Hammond said it was alright." Jonas looks down at his food then back to Teal'c.
"I'm sure Rya'c will enjoy it." Teal'c says frankly watching Daniel eat slowly.
Jack puts down his coffee. "You're not still bummed about not going to Turkey are you Jonas?"
"No, Major Carter has arranged for a satellite to feed from the site to the SGC, since Andrea will be back." Jonas takes the last of the cereal and puts it in his mouth.
"I see. You and Andrea are back seat driving then." Jack casually leans back and looks at Daniel. "Go home Daniel. You're a mess, nothing for you to do until we leave on Wednesday anyway."
Daniel puts his glasses back on. "Jack."
"Don't Jack me!" Daniel gets up. Jack looks at Daniel seriously and says. "Oh and for God's sake have some one else drive you!" Daniel shakes his head and leaves.
"Do not believe I have seen Daniel Jackson act so strangely before." Teal'c says watching Daniel leave.
Jack shakes his head in agreement. "Nope, T, me either."
"I see and hear more than you two. I believe he has significant reason to be worried." Jonas says looking at O'Neill.
Teal'c raises his eyebrow. Jack looks stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Since her return she sleeps less than before and several nights this week I could hear the shower running in the middle of the night. If I heard the shower I could expect breakfast was already made." Jonas recalls several mornings when he showered in cold water.
"Why am I hearing this now?" Jack asks his voice ringing with concern.
"Doctor Fraiser gave Andrea Jackson a clean bill of Health as you say O'Neill. Could it not be because no one saw it relevant to inform you?" Teal'c picks up an apple and bites into it.
"I'll talk to Fraiser about it later. I have a meeting with Hammond in thirty minutes about our flights." Jack looks at Jonas while taking a bite of his food.
"Colonel wait up!" Sam calls jogging down the hall after O'Neill.
Jack stops and spins around facing the direction he was coming from. "What is it Carter?"
Sam stops a few feet short and beings walking. "You sent Daniel home?"
"I did." O'Neill walks next to Carter continue down the hall.
"Any Idea what is wrong with him?" Sam asks.
"No, but I'm about to have a discussion with Dr. Fraiser about Andrea." O'Neill says putting his hands in his pockets.
"Is there something going on here?" Sam asks wonder what Andrea has to do with Daniel's mood and sleep depravation.
"Hell if I know Carter. Jonas tells me that Andrea has been sleeping like she use to and should be. The assumption is that's why he's so worried about her." Jack turns at the corner.
"I'll admit a few things have been out of place. But she's has been through a lot, she just need to readjust to being home. You of all people sir know, what it's like to come back from captivity." Sam looks less concerned.
"I have a hunch something else is going on." Jack says turning to face Sam.
"You know you'll never find out if she doesn't want you to know." Carter says matter of factly.
"I know Carter, but it's not just affecting her anymore." Jack says pulling out his hand to look at his watch. Looking up he sees Dr. Fraiser down the hall, and waves.
"I know sir, but what can you do?" Sam smiles at Janet.
Janet walks up and they stop. "You wanted to see me?"
"Why Major I tell the good Doctor what I know and she might know what is going on." Jack looks at Sam.
Janet looks interested. "Hi Janet." Sam says quickly.
"Yes, it's come to my attention that Andrea is sleeping like she should. I wondered if you knew anything about it." Jack says watching the Doctor.
"No, nothing was said about it. Whatever is causing it isn't affecting her health or that of the baby." Janet looks from Sam to Jack.
"Honestly I think you guys are looking too deep into this." Sam looks at Colonel O'Neill.
"In this instance Colonel I have to agree with Sam." Dr. Fraiser says looking at them both.
"What if it continues, I can't have Daniel half focused. We leave for Washington on Wednesday, then Turkey from there on Friday." Jack raises his voice.
"Calm down Colonel. She's gone and there is nothing that can be done. I'll talk to here when she comes back on Friday, but you'll see her before me. I suggest you take it up with her." Janet looks at O'Neill expressing her professional opinion.
Sam turns to the Colonel and looks directly at him. "Sir if there is a problem it is quite possible Thor caught it and fixed it."
Janet nods her head. "I agree the Asgard might catch something I can't."
Jack grabs the back of his neck. "I hope your right. I'm still concerned."
"Colonel I'll check her when she get back, but I really think she's fine."
"Do you think you can tell that to Daniel?" Jack says rubbing the back of his neck.
"I can try." Janet says speculating that it won't work.
Janet pulls up in her car into Daniel's driveway. Janet gets out of her car wearing civilian clothing and rings the door bell.
Daniel in the office hears the bell and runs down the small flight of stairs to the door. Opening the door he sees Janet. Daniel looks groggy and tired. "Hi Janet come in."
Janet shakes her head. "You look terrible."
"I feel terrible." Daniel says motioning for Janet to sit down, while plopping himself down in the living room.
Janet sits down. "Jack expressed some concern for you and Andrea. Anything I should know?"
Daniel shakes his head and covers his face with both hands. "Since she's been back, she would wake up in a full sweat the bed would be drenched. She'd be fine after a shower but she would avoid sleep. I think the only time she didn't have a problem sleep was the nights we spent on base.
Janet takes a moment to think. "Daniel did you talk with her about it?"
"Yes." Daniel stands up and walks around. "She says it's the visions. I honestly don't think she knows what is going on."
"Daniel you know as well as I that confinement does strange things to people. I can suggest that she talks with Dr. Mackenzie when she gets back." Janet says looking up at Daniel.
"She won't like it but it might help her. She carries so many things inside." Daniel says sitting down again.
"Are you gonna be able to sleep tonight or should I give you something?"
"I'll be alright. Jack is really worried isn't he?" Daniel says covering his face.
"He is. I'll let him know you're alright" Janet stands up.
"Thanks Janet, I'm just a mess. It's funny though I do feel better now." Daniel says smiling a bit.
"You sure Daniel?" Janet walks over to him.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Daniel says standing up.
"Alright I'll see myself out why don't you get some rest." Janet says heading for the door.
"Alright thanks for checking on me?" Daniel says walking toward the stairs.
"You're welcome Daniel." Janet leaves locking the door behind her.
The pod opens in a large room on the Asgard ship. Stepping out of the pod Andrea becomes dizzy, and immediately falls to her hands and knees retching. Andrea throws up then rolls on her side and passes out. Some time later Andrea wakes up feeling hungry. "Well so much for feeling better, now I have morning sickness." Andrea says talking to herself.
Andrea heats an MRE, eats then moves to the bridge. On the bridge Andrea presses some controls transporting Ambassador Dreylock to the Conference room. "Give me a moment Ambassador I'll be right there." Andrea turns of the sound so she doesn't have to listen to the other woman scream.
Andrea opens the door to the conference room, walks in then locks it. "Where Am I? Why have you taken me?" Dreylock says looking around.
"You're on a ship above your planet. I have taken you because you didn't do what I ask months ago." Andrea says sitting down.
"Well I didn't think it was real." Dreylock says.
"I find that hard to believe Ambassador. Please sit. I am now and Ambassador as well. I've come to know Jonas Quinn very well. I'm very disappointed in your government." Andrea falls silent.
"We'll I'm sorry I didn't follow your demands. How is Jonas and Dr. Kieran" Dreylock replies.
"My husband died saving your world. I would do it more publicly but I'd rather not upset him. Jonas is well, Dr. Kieran is improving everyday." Andrea watches the other woman's face.
"Dr. Jackson is dead; you speak as if he is alive." Dreylock looks confused.
"Sometimes the dead come back to life. You don't know much do you?" Andrea scratches her arm.
"I guess in your terms I don't. You don't look too angry." Dreylock says avoiding Andrea's glare.
"How many people have died?" Andrea asks looking at Dreylock.
"Around hundred thousand."
Andrea shoots out of her chair. "No, this is your fault. I'm holding you responsible."
"I've tried to broker peace. I can't control everything. You expect me to explain this to First Minister Valis?" Dreylock stand up.
"I do. I'll be back too. Next time I'm coming through the Gate. I'll bring you some information to help." Andrea turns away. "Forgive my temper."
"Of course, the death tolls disturb all of us. You're coming back. Do you believe you can bully us into peace?"
"I do, I'm from Earth, but I work for others. I need you and those other Ambassador's to make peace so that I can add you to a treaty that will protect you from the goa'uld." Andrea speaks lightly.
"I see. You want to protect us." Dreylock looks suspicious.
"Actually, I do. So does Jonas. I can't add you to the Asgard treaty until your world is at peace." Andrea moves to stand against the wall.
"I see. I'll speak to Minister Valis this time."
"Good. I'll send you back to him." Andrea turns and leaves the room. Andrea goes to the bridge moves some controls returning Dreylock back to her planet.
Andrea listens to a short Message from Thor. "I've sent the coordinates of Heimdall's position to you. He knows what is wrong and is waiting."
Andrea shakes her head and stumble back to the short med ward on the ship. Stepping in the pod she thinks of Daniel.
Heimdall beams aboard the Small Asgard ship. Moving Andrea to a slab he beings to scan her with the computer. "Very interesting!" Heimdall moves to the side of the slab and watches Andrea sleep.
Very slowly Andrea begins to wake. "Hello Andrea."
Andre turns her head to look at Heimdall. "Hi Heimdall, the ship didn't wake me?"
Heimdall pats Andrea's arm. "It tried, the pod saw that you were not well and overrode the ship's waking system."
"Oh, you woke me then?" Andrea face looks a bite pale.
"Not to worry, you are fine now. Yes I woke you. You're Naquidah levels seem to effect the changes in your body. Adding more seems to make you stable." Heimdall moves to the control panel moves the controls.
"I assume I can control the changes then?" Andrea asks sitting up.
"Yes, I believe adding and taking away Naquidah will regulate the changes brought on by your pregnancy. Congratulations to you and Dr. Jackson." Heimdall moves more controls. Something appears on a small pad.
"Thank you! What is that?" Andrea points to something that looks like a vial.
"This is a device, that will aide you in controlling your Naquidah levels. I will stop by Earth and check on you periodically. Your cellular structure is very close to that of the Ancients. It is also close to that of the Asgard as well. Your child is a perfect match to an Ancient. This is extremely important." Heimdall sounds excited.
"Are you sure?" Andrea asks moving around to look at the control.
"Positive, I must go and tell the High council immediately. Good luck speaking on our behalf." Heimdall disappears.
Andrea looks up with her eyes closed. "Well I can say today was the most interesting day of my life. Andrea walks slowly to the bridge. "I've got to have Carter install a CD player."
Major Davis steps up to a small podium. "Thank you all for returning. I'm Afraid Senator Kinsey won't be join us, since he is under investigation for treason. However Dr. Daniel Jackson is here and Supreme Commander Thor will be joining us later." Davis points to Daniel in the back who waves to all the Ambassadors.
The French Ambassador stands up. "I'm not staying unless General Hammond is coming." The other Ambassadors stand up as well.
Davis looks at Daniel. "Gentlemen please. I must ask that you stay. General Hammond is unavailable at this time since SG-1 is here in Washington preparing for a mission. Their stop is so that you might speak with Dr. Jackson. If you will, I will allow him to speak now." Davis moves out of the way.
Daniel stands up and walks to the front of the room. "In all honesty Gentleman, I wasn't expecting to be here. My wife suggested that you should become acquainted with me because I for the most part and the diplomatic voice for Earth."
The Chinese Ambassador laughs. "You're wife knows about the Stargate Program it seems like the American Government can't keep a secret after all."
"Actually," Daniel says looking at Davis who moves the screen to show a picture of Andrea. "Ah, thank you. Lovely isn't she."
"Indeed." Colonel Chekov replies.
"Doctor Andrea Milton Jackson is a member of the Stargate program since our return late last year. I don't know if you were told but I Ascended to a higher plane of existence." Daniel speaks with a calm voice
"I do not understand." The British Ambassador says interrupting.
"I died, but I wasn't dead I became a higher form." Daniel looks at Davis.
"Gentlemen in the files in front of you is brief explanation of Dr. Jackson's return." Davis says to the Ambassador's.
"Oh I see, this is interesting." The British Ambassador replies.
Daniel continues. "Dr. Jackson was an assistant of mine before the Gate Program. While out of contact, she was taken a host by a Goa'uld who returns to Earth for hosts. Since that time she has changed quite a bit."
"Is she still a Host to a Goa'uld?" The Chinese Ambassador asks.
"No, she's not. Gentlemen if you could keep your questions till the end. Dr. Jackson is very thorough in his explanations I'm sure he will answer all your questions before the end." Major Davis speaks from the back.
They all agree and Daniel continues. "Thank you. No she's not a Goa'uld, but before leaving her ex-husband who is still a goa'uld, she was made into a Hok'tar. A Hok'tar is what the goa'uld believed to be a perfect host. For a long time they were believe to be a myth. However Kek a not so minor goa'uld cast out by the System Lords was able to create one. My wife since our return has been helping the SGC to prepare for goa'uld attacks as well as give us some insight into the future. During the early years of the Stargate Program, Andrea knew of us though the exploits of the team I work in SG-1. In Earth's interest she asks that Earth be added to the protected planets treaty which with Thor's help we broker a truce. Later Andrea also believed that SG-1 could help the Asgard defeat the Replicators. Because of her influence now and before Earth is in a better position to fight the Goa'uld. Today my wife has become Instrumental at the SGC because she has visions. These visions have enabled the SGC to take out two of Anubis's Ha'taks with out any loss of life on our side. Along with that we are currently collecting a power source that will revile that of Anubis."
"We'll I don't know about my counter parts but I'd like to meet this wonder woman." The British Ambassador says jokingly.
Major Davis moves up front again. "Gentleman, she was going to be here, but Asgard business has kept her away longer than she had plan. I assume that her capture has caused whatever business she carries for the Asgard to slip."
"I was never told about this!" Chekov says looking angry.
"Yes, well it was kept a secret with in the Government. Although there was an outcry for her return, Allies brought her back two weeks ago." Davis says watching Daniel's face change.
"Why was she ever allowed off world if she provides such good information?" The French Ambassador asks.
"Gentleman, my wife requested she be put on a team. Danger to her wasn't something she was afraid of." Daniel says eyeing the French Ambassador half agreeing with the man.
"Dr. Jackson is correct. Andrea conducted operations against the Goa'uld, she was once mated to protect thousands of people. Although, she is still working at the SGC, she has been removed from active duty." Davis eyes Daniel who is beaming.
"Andrea won't be going on any missions for the SGC anytime soon gentlemen. However I can't guarantee that it will stay that way forever. She is an invaluable source for warnings on a mission." Daniel recall's Andrea warning that Jaffa were coming on there mission to one of the Rebel worlds.
Thor appears in his Chair next to Major Davis. "Gentlemen it is good to see you again." Thor turns his head to Daniel. "Congratulations Daniel, Andrea is very happy."
Daniel blushes. Major Davis steps closer to Thor. "Thank you for coming again, Thor."
"Thank you for inviting me." Thor looks at Davis then the Ambassadors. "I cannot stay long; however I would just like to remind you that the Asgard are pleased with those in command at the SGC. However the Asgard High Council has decided that we would like to add our own voice here as well as to the powers that run the SGC. It has come to our attention that we will not always be available to Earth in times of need. The Council has decided that, this person can best speak for the Asgard. This person has lived among the Asgard and knows our ways. They will be our Ambassador to you. The Asgard request, that the Earth governments treat them as they would treat any of you. The High Council also requests that when our Ambassador is not available you consult with Colonel O'Neill and his team."
Daniel and Major Davis turn to each other in surprise. "I will see that it is done, here Thor!"
Thor nods his head. A light on Thor's chair blinks. "Ah, the Asgard Ambassador has arrived and I would be please to introduce her to you." Thor presses a button on his Chair and Andrea appears. "Please meet the Asgard Ambassador Andrea Jackson." Daniel stands in shock, but not complete surprise.
Andrea nods to Daniel and Davis then to Thor. "Thank you Thor. Forgive me for being late, there was an emergency that need to be taken care of." Andrea bows slightly.
The Colonel Chekov laughs. "It is good to see that, we all agree. Ambassador Jackson is a wise choice Supreme Commander Thor."
"Colonel Chekov is Correct we hope that Ambassador Jackson will be available to speak with all our governments on your behalf." The British Ambassador says looking at his nodding counterparts.
Thor nods. "Thank you for you attention. I leave the Ambassador to speak on the Asgard behalf." Thor disappears.
Andrea laughs. "It's nice to get a good reception. I see that my husband and Colleague has decided to join us. I assume you have been given a brief description of the past year."
The French Ambassador shakes his head. "No, we've been talking about you!"
Andrea laughs and looks at Daniel, then back at the Panel. "Well has my husband or Major Davis at least mentioned the power source?"
"Your Husband did mention it." The Chinese Ambassador says nodding his head.
"Well then With Major Davis's help as well as Dr. Jackson's, we'll start there." Andrea says while Major Davis puts up a picture of the giant Stone.
