Author's Notes:- Thanks to Stonedtoad for betaing.

Thanks to those who've reviewed, I'm glad you're enjoying this.

And Teri, I'm returning O'Neill patented glare with the Daniel yes, yes I know half smile but no more threats needed guys, I'm working on the next part I promise


She lay staring at the woman towering above her admiring the blond curls the host possessed. The pain was almost unbearable but she refused to show this... thing that agony was flowing through her.

"Still alive?" Ammonet asked glancing down at Sha're with an amused expression, "Amazing. Most would not survive this long. It doesn't matter anyway; you'll die of exposure soon which is a much more painful and fitting death for one so annoying as you."

Sha're glared at the thing that had ruined her life as it swept up the stairs and through the open Chappa-aii followed by the Jaffa leaving Sha're alone. Sha're closed her eyes finally letting her pain loose in a cry of agony allowing the tears to stream along her cheeks. Crawling to the control device she thought about her home and tried to remember the symbols her Daniel had shown her that night when he'd been telling her about opening the Chappa-aii to Abydos. Slowly she struggled to a stand clinging to the device so she didn't fall and pressed what she hoped were the symbols. When it burst open she used the last of her strength to stagger to the water-like surface before she fell through it.

Rolling out of the Chappa-aii she noted this wasn't her home before she passed out.

Daniel heard a gentle knock on the door to the study he was using where he sat going over some of the texts the Prince had given him access to.

"Hey," Sarah smiled at him, "Need any help?"

"You should be sleeping," Daniel told her, "You know that."

"I'm fine," Sarah slid into the seat beside him, "Besides you need to sleep too."

"You know I can't sleep somewhere I've never been before," Daniel replied, "Besides Prince Hendro gave me some stuff to work on."

"You know this is my field of expertise too," Sarah reminded him, "I can help."

"I really need to be alone just now," Daniel told her.

"Daniel," Sarah touched his cheek, making him turn to her, "I thought you said you were different from the way you were back then."

"I am," he protested, "This is just very…"

"What?" Sarah demanded.

"I'm sorry," Daniel whispered, "I shouldn't have dragged you here."

"I'm not complaining," Sarah smiled at him.

"Sarah…" he was cut off as she kissed him. It took him a second to get over his shock and move away from her, "I can't."

Sarah dropped her eyes and sighed, "I understand. What Osiris tried to do to you…"

"It's not because of Osiris," Daniel assured her, "It's because…" Daniel took a deep breath, "I'm married."

Sarah stared at him for a few seconds before she burst out laughing.

Daniel frowned in confusion, "What's so funny?"

"You," Sarah continued to laugh, "You married? That's the lousiest excuse you could have come up with to make me feel better."

Daniel looked slightly hurt, "Why?"

"Daniel, you have to be the last person I'd ever see being married," Sarah continued to laugh, "I can't imagine the poor soul desperate enough to marry a guy whose longest relationship is with a thousand year old statue."

Daniel stared at her confused, "You kissed me."

Sarah touched his cheek, "I know you Daniel and we're so alike that this time we'll work out. If this Osiris thing still upsets you, I can wait."

She kissed his cheek and left the room as Daniel groaned and dropped his head onto the desk.

"We believe Erit is trying to take control of Kilros," Hendro explained to Jack as the two men sat in his study, "When Sha're told me what he'd said to make her return here I asked for her help. If he wants her here there has to be a reason."

Jack nodded, "I can't let my people get involved in a civil war."

"I'm not asking," Hendro told him, "I'm just explaining why she did what she did. Sha're has promised to help me and I know she will not leave until she has fulfilled this. I have learned this much about her in the past few weeks."

Jack nodded, "Well we're here for a while anyway."

"Erit shall make his move soon," Hendro said, "I am sure so I wish to make a pre-emptive strike."

"What exactly do you plan?" Jack asked.

"This entire building can be sealed off," Hendro explained, "When Erit returns I'm going to do just that. The Stargate is in the area and guarded by an automated defence system only myself and Sha're can control."

"When are you going to do this?" Jack asked almost knowing the answer.

"I was going to do it after you all left but I was hoping you could help me with this," Hendro touched a button to show Erit and another man standing talking, suddenly the other man's eyes glowed making Jack swear.

"Looks like we're helping," Jack groaned.

Sha're cleaned away all her makeup before brushing her hair out as she readied herself to get some sleep. The whole reception had been hellish as all she wanted to do was go to Daniel and try to talk to him again but she'd had to pretend she was still Tilsa remaining with Hendro all night. There was also the woman who had seemed permanently attached to Daniel's side all night and Sha're had been desperate to pull the blonde away from her husband.

With a sigh she continued to brush out her hair before tossing the brush onto the bed and looking at her self in the full length mirror. She smoothed her dress across where she knew a child now grew and fear filled her. What if Daniel couldn't forgive her? How would she manage if they had to share custody of the child? How would she manage if this woman became his new wife?

With that thought she decided to go and talk to him, she had to.

Walking along the corridor to the room he was in she frowned to see the blonde woman leave, Sarah she remembered Jack calling her.

With a deep breath she gently knocked and then walked in.

"Sarah, I…" Daniel's voice was filled with frustration but he trailed off as he saw her standing there, "Sha're."

"I wanted to talk to you," Sha're said softly not knowing why she felt like this, she'd never felt anything except confident in her husband's presence.

"I guess we have a lot to discuss," Daniel replied standing, "Do you want to sit?"

"Thank you," she gracefully took the seat beside him, "What are you doing?"

"The Prince gave me some texts to study," he answered politely.

"He mentioned that," she looked nervously at where his hand sat on the desk, "I knew you would enjoy working on them."

Daniel stared at her as she sat nervously at his side, why was it suddenly like this? Because she said she didn't love you, came the reply from the back of his mind. He watched as Sha're kept trying to find questions to ask that weren't of any significance.

I'm sitting here making small talk with her, he sighed, tell her you still love her you idiot.

But he couldn't, some part of him held the words back.

"I need to ask you something," Sha're finally mustered the courage.

"Go ahead," Daniel told her.

"Do you want this child?" she blurted out.

Daniel stared at her horrified she even had to ask that question, his mind floated back to the conversation they'd had which seemed like a millions years ago.

"I want to have children with you, I want a huge family."

But he couldn't say anything, nothing came to him as he tried to tell her, he dropped his eyes to the desk and Sha're misinterpreted it giving a soft cry before she ran from the room.

"Damn," Daniel snapped and he started to follow her catching her just as she reached her room, "Sha're," he reached out and snagged her arm pulling her so she was facing him.

"Why did you say it?" Daniel asked needing to know before he let himself go any further.

"When we returned from the cabin and I went to talk to Erit to explain who I truly was," Sha're explained softly, "He told me I could not just stay on Earth, he told me that Hendro would kill all those within the village that took me in and those I had called my parents in retribution for lying to him. I know now that Erit lied to me, he has another agenda which he needs me for some reason. I thought I was saving people I cared for by leaving Earth, by leaving you but I left the letter so you understood. I never…I did not…I was sure you would understand as soon as you read it, I never thought Erit would steal it."

Sha're shook as she looked into his blue eyes tears sliding along her cheeks; Daniel gently stroked her cheek wiping away the tears. Without a word he pulled her close to him burying his face in her black curls against her neck holding her tightly against him feeling her arms wrap around his waist.

"I want this baby," Daniel whispered in her ear finally, "I want you Sha're, my wife always."

Sha're jerked up to look into his eyes, her own brown eyes filled with questions. Unable to voice his feelings Daniel did the only other thing he knew would reassure her, he leaned in and brushed his lips against hers in a gentle kiss.

Sha're closed her eyes as she kissed him back fiercely her arms wrapping around his neck pulling him into the room. Daniel opened his eyes slightly so they didn't hit anything and he jumped seeing men there.

Daniel pushed Sha're to one side catching the arm of the man who was about to attack them. Daniel dropped to his knee throwing his attacker over his shoulder. He saw Sha're grabbing the table from her bedside and walloping the second man who came at her. Moving to her he stopped long enough to kick his attacker in the head rendering him unconscious before he grabbed her hand. They ran to the door only to be confronted by a large man.

"Loc," Sha're cried before screaming as she was grabbed from behind.

Daniel turned to help her, the last thing he saw was the wall coming towards him before everything went black.


Sarah walked back to her own rooms unable to stop the amused smile covering her face, Daniel married. That had to be the funniest thing she'd heard in a long time. Coming up to her room she smiled to see Teal'c and Sam standing talking, she liked them both but decided not to tell them about Daniel's hysterical reason for not getting involved, she didn't want to alienate his friends.

"Sarah," Sam smiled at her, "Aren't you meant to be resting?"

"You're as bad as Daniel," Sarah told her, "That was the first thing he said to me as well. I'm just going to go to bed now."

"You still need rest after all that happened to you," Teal'c reminded her, "You need not worry about anything as I shall be on guard all night."

"That does make me feel safer," Sarah admitted, she still had nightmares and being on a different planet was unnerving.

As she was about to enter her room and an alarm sounded throughout the palace.

x

Jack and Hendro flew through the corridors to Sha're's rooms finding Ilea standing over an unconscious Daniel a guard keeping his weapon trained on the unaware archaeologist another guarding an unknown man also unconscious.

"What's going on?" Hendro demanded, "Will someone switch that off."

The alarm stopped instantly.

"The Princess is gone," Ilea explained, "I found both men here."

Jack turned to Hendro, "Well I know why Daniel would be out but the other guy is probably a suspect."

Hendro nodded, "Take this man to a holding cell. Take Dr Jackson to his room."

"Sir, what's happened?" Sam called as she, Sarah and Teal'c came running.

"Someone's grabbed Sha're," Jack explained, "Daniel's out cold. We'll have to wait till he and our suspect wake up."

"Who's Sha're?" Sarah murmured but no one answered her.

"Let's get him somewhere a little more comfortable than the floor," Jack nodded at Daniel, "Then we can talk."

x

Jack paced the room, "Why take her if they think you're buying his act?"

They'd brought Daniel to his room where the rest of SG1, Hendro and Beth had congregated. Ilea had taken Sarah back to her room to make sure the woman got some sleep.

"Unless they realised we were on to him," Hendro frowned, "That means this goes into my staff as well."

"We need to find her," Jack said, "Otherwise Daniel is going to go out looking for her himself."

"Sir," Sam intervened, "The reason Sha're left Earth was to protect those of the village who looked after her. Now, we're assuming Erit needs her for something to do with the Goa'uld he seems to be working with. If Sha're and Daniel were resuming their relationship wouldn't Erit want her out of his way?"

Jack groaned, "Why can't those two do something normally?"

"Jack?" Daniel's murmur interrupted the ranting, "Keep it down."

"Awake at last," Jack said, "How'd you feel?"

"Like I went flying into a wall," Daniel replied wryly before worry covered his face, "Where's Sha're?"

"It would appear Erit managed to grab her," Hendro told him.

"No, no, no," Daniel whispered, "Not again. I can't do this again."

"Daniel," Jack said softly grabbing his friend's hands away from his eyes, "We're doing everything we can."

"No promise this time?" Daniel asked sarcastically pulling his hands away.

"Why are you assuming it's this Erit who has her?" Beth spoke up making everyone turn to her.

"Miss Stewart," Hendro said, "Who else would have done this?"

"Well, I was talking with Ilea," Beth explained, "Since she's Til…Sha…the Princess's assistant, she was explaining how there was a faction not too happy that…"

"Sha're," Hendro supplied with a slight smile.

"That Sha're was chosen over their candidate," Beth continued, "According to Ilea there's been a lot of rumblings over how Sha're was from an agricultural village and wouldn't be able to keep up with the 'City Way of Life'," Beth stuck in the air quotes.

"So why do you think they might have taken her?" Sam asked.

"It's more a feeling than anything," Beth told them, "Erit taking her makes no sense. This lot abducting her does."

"Beth Stewart makes a good point," Teal'c mused, "Once the other man wakes up we can interrogate him."

"Teal'c, we can't," Jack pointed out, "Not our jurisdiction."

"I have no objections to allowing Teal'c do it," Hendro said.

"Neither do I," Daniel replied trying to get Sam to stop trying to tend the gash on his head, "I know Teal'c can get anything out of anybody."

"Sam," Beth said, "Didn't that briefing we got have something about tracking?"

"I knew bringing you would be a good idea," Sam grinned before turning to the other bemused occupants of the room, "We were told about how the citywide scanners are tuned so that they can detect weapons being brought into the city."

Hendro frowned, "Even still it might not help us. There are ways to fool the scanners and if these people managed to get into the palace…"

"No," Sam interrupted him, "We're not scanning for weapons. We're scanning for Naquada."

"We don't know if Ammonet died within Sha're or not," Daniel said softly.

"It doesn't matter," Beth smiled turning to Sam who nodded allowing her to continue, "Sha're lived most of her life on Abydos, which mined Naquada. It was in their air, their water, their food. Daniel you've got it in your blood from your year there anyway. We just need to scan the city for Naquada."

"We have no deposits of this mineral at all on Kilros," Hendro reminded them.

"We don't need that," Sam triumphantly held up the cloth she'd used to clean Daniel's wound, "We've got what we need here."

"I shall get Loc…" Hendro started.

"No," Daniel cut him off, "Loc was part of it. I almost got her out and Loc was the one who threw me against the wall. Loc abducted her."

Hendro frowned, "He was the son of my father's most loyal bodyguard. That was why I assigned him to Sha're's protection. Do not worry Daniel when I find him he shall wish he'd never heard of me."


Sha're tried to loosen the ropes that bound her hands to the chair.

"The bonds are tight," the man across from her said, "You're only going to hurt yourself."

"Let me go," Sha're told him icily.

"No," he laughed.

Sha're swore at him in Abydonian, "What do you want with me?"

The man glared at her, "You shall renounce your position as Hendro's chosen bride allowing my daughter to take your place."

Sha're started to laugh amazed at the ridiculousness of the whole situation, "So you abducted me?"

"You shall renounce your position. You don't love the Prince," he frowned at her, "From what I hear you have already started the affairs most wait until after the marriage. Though according to Loc this was a continuation from your visit to Earth."

Sha're sighed, "Allow me free and I will forget this happened. For if you harm me the retribution will be like nothing you ever thought could exist."

"You really think they're going to find us?" the man laughed again.

Sha're's dark eyes hardened, "I know it."

"I have nothing to say," the man said, he'd woken up an hour ago his identity confirmed as Jarok Sindel.

Teal'c stood his face not moving from the dark granite expression.

"I won't tell you a thing," Jarok filled in the silence squirming uncomfortably as Teal'c stepped forward slightly, "I…I…"

Teal'c took another step forward making Jarok swallow nervously.

"I only did what I was told," Jarok told them nervously as Teal'c continued to stare at him stonily.

"Okay," Jarok finally cried, "Stop. I'll tell you everything."

Teal'c took the seat across from the man, "Leave nothing out."

Outside the room Jack grinned at Hendro, "Good isn't he?"

"Daniel, if you don't stop pacing I'm kicking you out," Sam told him as he continued to wear out a path from one side of the room to the other.

"You've been at this for hours," Daniel cried, "What's taking so long?"

"It's a very big city Daniel," Sam replied, "We're scanning as fast as we can."

"I can't lose her again Sam," Daniel whispered his hand nervously going through his hair, "Not again."

"I know," Sam squeezed his other hand, "Give us a little time."

Daniel took a seat for all of a minute before he started pacing again making Sam grimace.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked moving directly into his path.

"No," Daniel stepped round her and continued his pacing before he turned to where Sam had returned to her work, "Sha're's pregnant," he blurted out.

Sam spun to him, "What?"

"She's pregnant," Daniel repeated, "It happened when she was on Earth the night in the cabin after she remembered who she really was."

Sam sighed suddenly realising why he was even more agitated than she would have expected, "How do you feel about this turn of events?"

Daniel sat down heavily, "Sam, I was so hurt when she left and what she said to me, I brought Sarah here just to…I don't know…"

"Make Sha're jealous," Sam suggested with a wry smile.

"I guess," Daniel groaned, "The moment I was with her again though it felt like no one could ever replace her. I tried to stay angry so I wouldn't get hurt again after what she said."

"And," Sam pushed.

"She told me she was pregnant and I told her I was over her," Daniel dropped his head into his hands, "Dumb I know."

"Daniel you are allowed to be angry," Sam told him, "She may have left you a letter to explain things but she still said she didn't love you."

"Just before they took her we…Sam we were back the way we're meant to be," Daniel smacked his hand off the table beside him, "Why can't we be together? Why does something always try to separate us?"

Sam gently rubbed his shoulder comfortingly, "I don't know but you two are meant to be together. She's been dead twice and she's still come back to you Daniel, never forget that."

Daniel gave a small smiled, "Thanks."

"You still have to tell Sarah you're married," Sam gave him a slight grin.

Daniel rolled his eyes, "I already did."

"And?"

"She laughed," Daniel told her frowning as Sam started to laugh too.

They both turned to the door as Beth appeared through it, "Teal'c got the guy to talk. I was right but he didn't know the location they were taking her too."

A beep from the machine beside her made Sam grin, "But we do," she grabbed the printout and started out the room, "Come on."


Sha're could hear shouts coming from outside the room she was being held in. She started trying to remove the bonds that held her in place, wincing as the rope cut into her flesh. Her captor came running into the room his gun aimed at her heart before he stiffened as a bright blue glow surrounded him and he fell to the ground shuddering in pain.

"Dan'iel," Sha're cried in relief as her husband his face grim entered the room a zat nicketel in his hand.

Daniel knelt beside her silently and untied her before he pulled her into a tight embrace, "I thought I'd lost you there. Again."

"I knew you would find me," she whispered in his ear.

Daniel moved away from her standing up and reaching out to take her hands. As Sha're placed her hands in his Daniel frowned at the bloody mess her wrists were in.

"That looks sore," he murmured as he examined them.

"A little," she admitted.

Daniel pulled her to a stand, "There should be a medical kit in the transport Hendro sent with us."

"Who is us?" Sha're asked.

"Me and several soldiers Hendro trusted," Daniel explained, "He didn't want me to come originally but I managed to persuade him."

Sha're laughed, "I do not doubt you would my Dan'iel."

He slipped his arm around her and led her to the waiting transport, allowing her in first before joining her.

"We'll arrive at the palace soon," the leader of the guards, a young man by the name Maser told them, "There is a medical kit there to treat the Princess's wounds."

Daniel nodded gratefully at the young man closing the door allowing the transport to start its journey.

Daniel opened the small box and pulled out some bandages and antiseptic cream, "Give me your wrist," he told his wife who sat and allowed him to tend to her a small smile on her lips.

Once he'd finished Sha're turned and curled up against him smiling as he gently kissed her forehead, closing her eyes she relaxed into his warm embrace.

A sharp jolt brought her back to reality as she realised the transport had stopped.

"Maser?" Daniel called softly his hand tightening around the zat.

The door opened and instead of the young guard Erit stood there with another man both had smiles on their faces. Daniel quickly hid the zat behind his back.

"I was going to wait but I can blame this on those idiots," Erit laughed, "Gren'ha, this is her."

Gren'ha looked at Sha're appreciatively who curled closer to Daniel.

"Yes," Gren'ha smiled as his eyes glowed, "A perfect host for my new queen."
