What should have happened. Don't worry about my original plot it's still going just had to get this out of the way!!

Chapter 10

Janet watch's Maria work in the small room they set up for the temporary work place, where the still injured woman could rest. "You don't look like you need anything from me!" Janet says walking into the room.

"Nope, I'm all set. The stuff Daniel left to work on is already finished." She stands up. "I'm so glad General Hammond gave me something to do."

"I thought so. Spending the week with the colonel has to get boring eventually." Janet smiles with a joke on her statement.

"Yeah, I got to watch him pout and wait on me hand on foot!" Maria grins. Sirens go off. "What's that?"

"They're back. I have to go. Stay here, if the sergeant escorts you top side stay with him." Janet runs out of the room.

Hammond knocks on the open door before steeping in. "Miss Blake?"

Maria looks up from one of Daniel's books. "Yes General Hammond?" Her eyes look up.

"Dr. Fraiser told me you know the team is back." He steps up to the bed.

Maria nods. "Yes, is Jack alright?"

He nods. "Yes, He's got a couple wounds nothing serious."

Maria sighs with relief. "Thank Goodness. Can I see him?"

Hammond nods. "Yes, but I need your help first."

Maria stands up and walks over to the table setting down her book. "I will if I can?"

"Dr. Jackson is unconscious. Major Carter and Teal'c stayed behind to help the villagers. Jack is trying to communicate with Dr Jackson's wife, it's a little difficult. And it's my understanding that you know a little Ancient Egyptian because of your work?" Hammond explains and waits for an answer.

"Very little, and what Daniel has tried to teach me. That and what I got from his books why?" Maria looks confused.

"I need you to try to calm her down so Dr. Fraiser can finish helping Dr. Jackson." Hammond says smiling.

"She Speaks Ancient Egyptian?" Maria questions a little confused and shock, Slightly disbelieving.

"Yes, and until Dr. Jackson wakes up you're the only one with any experience that could speak with her." Hammond looks worried.

"Alright, I can try. At least I'll get to see Jack too." She smiles and follows the General.

Jack scowls when Hammond escorts Maria by his bed, but doesn't let her stop. "Hey, what no kiss hello?"

Hammond frowns. "No." He walks over to where Daniel and a young woman with Dark skin and curly dark hair sit in a hospital gown.

Maria giggles. She sees the beautiful woman and gasps. "Sha're?" She questions.

Sha're looks up from the vigil on her husband. "Hello?"

"Kel Sha, Sha're. I am Maria." Maria steps forward with out and introduction. "I'm a friend of Daniel's."

"That is good. He's not well." Sha're starts to cry.

Maria frowns. "He'll be fine."

Appears behind her and looks at Sha're. He puts his arm around Maria. "Trust her Sha're."

Sha're looks up at Jack. "I hurt him!"

"No, you didn't. Listen Dr. Fraiser needs to look at you." He turns around showing her his bandage. "See she fixed me up."

Maria smiles. "It's alright. Jack can sit with him." She pulls away from Jack. She leans down to look Sha're in the face. "He's going to be fine. Trust me. Dr. Fraiser took care of me not long of go. Jack had to wait for me to wake up, just like your going to have to wait for Daniel." She touches the woman's arm. "When he does, he will be so happy you're at his side. He will heal even faster, but that can't happen if he's worried about you." She speaks in a mix of English and choppy Ancient Egyptian.

Sha're nods. "I will go." She turns back to Daniel and leans forward. "I will be back my Dan'iel." She stands up and looks at Jack. "Thank you."

"No, problem. I'm just glad your both okay." He hugs Maria. "Thanks, She's been through a lot and she needs someone to trust."

Maria takes Sha're's hand. "Welcome to Colorado, Mrs. Jackson." She smiles.

"Colorado?" Sha're asks as the two women walk toward Dr. Fraiser.

Daniel opens his eyes to see Maria sitting next to his bed reading a file. He blinks. "Maria?"

Maria drops the file, startled. "Oh My Daniel." She puts her hand over her heart. "Daniel look!" She points to the bed on his other side.

Daniel turns his head, to his surprise his wife lays curled up under a blanket on the bed next to him. "Sha're! Am I dreaming?" He asks trying to sit up. His head is swamped with dizziness.

"Easy, Dr. Fraiser says you're going to have a headache for a while." She stands up and walks around his bed. She gently touches Sha're's shoulder. Sha're's eyes open and blink. Maria steps out of the way. "Juju."

Sha're looks across the bed to see her husband staring back. "Dan'iel!" She jumps out of bed and over to him.

"Sha're!" Daniel says exchanging greetings with his wife. They don't notice Maria move away quietly.

Jack opens his eyes to see Maria's face and inch from his. "I love you, Jonathon O'Neill." She speaks to him.

"I love you too." He leans up and pecks her on the lips. "What's this about?" He says softly.

Maria smiles and moves out of the way, for the second time she speaks. "Look!"

Jack spots Daniel and Sha're together. The archeologist and his wife speaking softly. "It's about time." He looks back at Maria. "You better wake the nurse too."

Maria nods. "In a minute." She leans down and kisses him semi-passionately.
