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

It's finished.

This was not originally supposed to be a long story, just a one shot with possibly a sequel and then…oh well, I may do an epilogue if anyone wants it.

Until then enjoy.

Jack turned to his people.

"Okay guys," he said, "Teal'c's away with Maser and his team to collect Daniel, Carter I want you guarding Hendro and Ilea. Beth, Hendro has requested you control the Gate defence system. I suppose you better keep Sarah with you."

"Wonderful," Beth murmured.

Jack gave her a quick frown, "Let's just get this done and get Daniel back then go home."

"All for that," Sam agreed.

"Just be careful," Jack told them, he then turned to where the planets ruler stood talking quietly to Ilea, "You guys think you can pull this off?"

Ilea nodded, "Completely."

Jack grinned, "You know, I could always use someone with your abilities."

"General," Hendro frowned, "I would appreciate it if you didn't try and steal important members of my government."

Ilea looked at Hendro in surprise a faint smile covering her face before she turned to Jack, "I think I will wait until this crisis is over before I peruse job opportunities."

Jack laughed and clapped her on the shoulder, "Everyone keep in touch."

Daniel wished Sha're would wake up and not just because he'd know she was alright. It wasn't that his wife was heavy, he'd carried her many times but he was worried that if someone found them there was no way he could defend them without just dropping her.

He had to get them out of here; somehow he had to find the way back to the palace and Jack who would know what to do about the Gould. Sha're murmured against his shoulder, this comforted him a little knowing that she was actually sleeping not unconscious she just wouldn't wake up.

Daniel moved into one of the rooms and rested her down while he looked around for some sort of weapon.

"Okay," he murmured to the room, "If I find a weapon I'll have to carry you another way. Not something you'll like if you wake up but it's my only choice."

Despite a thorough search however he found nothing to use as a weapon.

"Damn," Daniel muttered, "Okay, let's just try and get out of here. Maybe if I can get into the city someone we can trust will find us."

Sha're groaned slightly in her slumber making Daniel turn hopeful she was waking up but she simply turned over and relaxed again.

"You always could sleep anywhere," Daniel murmured as he lifted her into his arms again, "Let's get out of here love. We are going to get back to Earth and have this baby."

Teal'c followed Maser through the streets watching as the young man followed the beacon he'd set on Daniel.

"We are almost there," the young man told them, "According to this they are being held down the next street."

"Everyone be cautious," Teal'c ordered, "Take care not to hit Daniel Jackson or your Princess."

They all nodded readying their weapons. Maser took the lead motioning them to follow. They reached a large warehouse and moved quietly towards the entrance. On Teal'c's signal they entered stopping in confusion at the large room with the transport Daniel and Sha're had been in when captured.

"They either found it or it fell off," Maser picked up the small button like device, "They could be anywhere."

Teal'c grimaced before grabbing his radio, "O'Neill."

"Yeah Teal'c?" Jack replied.

"Daniel Jackson and Sha're are not here," Teal'c reported, "We need another way to track them."

Jack swore several times before returning to their conversation, "T, ask Maser if he's sure they went towards the Industrial area of the city?"

"Are you?" Teal'c turned to the young guard who was standing beside him.

"Completely," Maser said, "If this is here also then it is more than likely they are close by, you can't move things around like this without someone seeing."

"I'll get Carter to do another sweep of that area," Jack told him, "Maybe we'll get lucky."

"Do you wish us to return?" Teal'c asked.

"No," Jack replied, "Stay there until Carter's done her sweep."

"Of course," Teal'c said before switching off the radio.

Inwardly he sighed, his worry for his friend growing.

x

"Carter," Jack yelled, "Start scanning, call Teal'c if you find anything."

"What about…"

"I'll stay with Hendro," Jack told her, "Just find them.

"Yes sir," Sam nodded leaving the room as fast as possible.

"He's here," Beth's voice came over the radio.

"Thanks Beth," Jack told her, "Keep an eye on things."

"Sure," Beth replied, "Be careful."

Jack turned to the Prince, "Ready?"

"As I'll ever be," Hendro replied before turning to Ilea, "You are sure everyone working for him is under guard?"

"Of course Your Highness," she replied with a smile.

Hendro frowned at her teasing but returned his attention to Jack, "I'm ready."

"Then the show is all yours," Jack told him moving back to the corner to watch.

Erit walked towards the chamber that held the Stargate ready to send the message to Gren'ha's Jaffa. The moment they arrived they would kill that fool who held the throne and he would take control of the world.

Entering the room he moved to what the Earther's called a DHD and started pressing the symbols frowning as it suddenly refused to work.

"We cut the power," a familiar voice came from behind him.

Erit spun to find Hendro and Ilea walking towards him.

"Your Highness," Erit said smoothly, "What are you doing here sire? I thought you would be showing our visitors the wonders of our world."

Hendro laughed mirthlessly, "How dare you?"

"Sire?"

"You stand there as though you are not trying to destroy us," Hendro's voice was low anger filtering through every word, "As though you are not betraying your people to the Goa'uld."

"Sire," Erit frowned, "I do not know what you are talking about."

"Where is Sha're?" Hendro demanded.

"I'm sorry?" Erit continued to act innocent.

Hendro pulled out a gun and trained it on Erit, "No more games Erit, tell me where she is and I won't kill you."

Daniel held his breath as several people walked past the room they were in without coming in. He seriously needed to find a way out of here and fast.

He heard yelling as Gren'ha had discovered that Sha're was gone; it looked like any time they'd had was now up.

Glancing around Daniel was surprised to find his radio sitting in a cupboard, "Cool," he murmured to himself before flicking it on, "This is Daniel. Can anyone hear me?"

"Daniel Jackson," Teal'c replied, "It is good to hear your voice."

"You too Teal'c," Daniel replied, "Look I'm trapped in a house, the Gould is wandering about looking for us and Sha're is unconscious."

"Was the hand device used?" Teal'c asked.

"I think so," Daniel replied.

"She shall more than likely be unconscious for several more hours unless the hand device is used once more to waken her," Teal'c told him.

"Swell," Daniel muttered.

"Do you know where you are?" Teal'c asked.

"No clue," Daniel replied.

"Stay on the line," Sam suddenly interrupted them, "I can locate you that way."

"Hurry Sam," Daniel told her.

x

"Hurry Sam."

Sam smiled softly at her friend's voice before frowning hearing the panic that was being barely held in check. Quickly she used the scanning systems to locate their radio waves almost crying out in relief when she found him.

"Teal'c, I've got them," she cried over the radio, "I'm sending Maser the co-ordinates. Hold on Daniel."

"That's easy for you to say," Daniel replied but she could hear the relief in his voice, "Hurry Teal'c."

"We are extremely close to you," Teal'c told Daniel, "Major Carter, can you confirm?"

"Teal'c from what I've got you're about ten minutes away from him," Sam said, "Be careful."

"I shall," Teal'c replied.

Sam changed channels on the radio, "Sir."

"What's up Carter?" Jack whispered softly.

"Teal'c should find Daniel within a few minutes," she reported.

"Good work," Jack told her, "Keep me informed."

x

Jack felt slight relief that Teal'c was now closer to finding Daniel; getting those two back would be a weight off his mind. He turned back to watching Hendro and Erit, the slimy weasel was still acting innocent.

"Beth?" Jack murmured over the radio.

"Yes General?" the young woman replied.

"Any Gate activity yet?"

"Nothing yet," she reported, "There's still a few minutes to go though."

"Okay," Jack sighed, "Tell me the moment you get the signal."

"I will."

Jack returned his attention to Hendro watching Ilea standing at his side he smiled. Once the betrothal to Sha're was dissolved officially, Jack was pretty sure who was going to take her place.

Daniel lifted Sha're into his arms once more readying himself for when Teal'c made his entrance. As usual she cuddled against his shoulder sighing softly in her sleep.

"It won't be long now," he whispered to her, "We'll get out of this and I'll make sure you're safe."

"That is not going to happen," a deep resonate voice laughed from behind him.

Wincing Daniel turned to find the Gren'ha standing a vicious smile on his face.

"Place her on the bed," the Goa'uld ordered, "And I shall not harm you."

"Not going to happen," Daniel snapped, "I'm not letting you touch her."

Gren'ha laughed, "Once you are dead there shall be no way to stop me. Now do it."

"Not a chance in hell," Daniel spat at him.

"You are a fool," Gren'ha told him.

"Yeah," Daniel grinned suddenly, "But I'm a fool with friends."

Gren'ha turned to find Teal'c behind him.

"Bye," Daniel said as Teal'c fired the zat three times before sighing in relief.

"You are well Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked concerned.

"Let's just say your timing doesn't suck," Daniel replied, "Let's get out of here."

Teal'c nodded and placed his hand on Daniel's shoulder leading his friend to safety.

Erit turned as the Stargate started to dial a smile touching his lips, they were coming.

"You idiot," he sneered at Hendro, "You want what's best for everyone? You are supposed to be a ruler. You could have anything you desire and you want to give that up?"

"I serve the people," Hendro replied.

"No longer," Erit barked, "Once Gren'ha destroys you I will become ruler of this world and you; I will leave you alive to see what you could have done."

"Yeah," Jack stepped forward from where he'd been waiting, "I doubt that's going to happen."

Erit looked at him confused as the Stargate burst open. He turned as the event horizon rippled and several men walked out.

"Hey Ferretti," Jack greeted the leader.

"General," Louis Ferretti grinned as he and the two SG teams he had with him all aimed at Erit, "Did we miss the party?"

"Gren'ha will destroy you all," Erit barked.

"Afraid not," Jack told him with a grin, "Teal'c," he called, "Can you repeat what you told me a few minutes ago?"

"The Goa'uld is dead," Teal'c replied, "And Daniel Jackson and Sha're are returning to the palace with us."

"Impossible," Erit snapped.

"Danny," Jack called.

"Jack," Daniel's voice came over the radio, "We're fine and Gren'ha is dead."

Jack grinned at Erit, "So, you were saying?"

Sha're snuggled down into the warmth as she started to wake up. Her body still refused to co-operate but her mind began to work properly. It was happening again and she knew if she woke up it was very likely she would be possessed once more. She couldn't go through that again, she couldn't.

If she stayed asleep it wouldn't happen, if she stayed asleep she would continue to be Sha're.

"Stop pretending to sleep," a teasing voice whispered as a finger touched the bridge of her nose, "You always get a crinkle here when you do."

"Dan'iel?" she breathed not daring to open her eyes, scared he wouldn't be there.

"It's me," his voice came again from right beside her, "You're safe, I promise."

She opened her eyes smiling relieved to find her husband leaning over her.

"Hi," Daniel grinned.

Sha're let out a cry of relief wrapping her arms around him tightly holding onto him tears silently sliding down her cheeks. Daniel rocked her whispering in her ear to soothe her.

Finally she released him, "What happened?"

Daniel quickly explained everything as she freshened up, "So once I tell everyone you're awake Hendro is going to make an announcement. I'm not exactly sure what he's going to say."

"As long as it means I can go home with you I do not care," Sha're told him.

Daniel caught her around her waist, "Neither do I."

Sarah was standing with Beth outside the throne room when Jack arrived.

"General what is going on?" she demanded, "Where is Daniel? Is he alright?"

"He's fine," Jack assured her, "Hendro has something to say to his people and wants us there for the announcement."

Sarah didn't look appeased, "Can you at least tell me what the hell happened earlier? And why I was stuck in a small room with Beth watching a computer screen?"

"Dr Gardener," Jack said sharply, "I'm sure it was explained to you that on missions you are expected to follow orders without question. If you have a question then you can raise it later."

"Of course," Sarah said slightly taken aback.

"Beth," Jack turned to the young computer tech, "You and Dr Gardner head in and take your seats."

"Of course sir," Beth smiled softly motioning Sarah inside the hall.

Jack sighed in relief.

"Sir," Sam smiled as she and Teal'c arrived, "I just talked to Daniel. Sha're's awake and they're coming."

"Good," Jack sighed, "Remind me to smack him round the head for not talking to his ex about his wife."

Sam laughed, "He already told her."

"He did?" Jack asked astonished, "Then why is she acting like she doesn't know?"

"Because she thought he was just trying to avoid getting involved again," Sam explained.

Jack chuckled, "This could be very interesting."

"My people," Hendro addressed his world, "Recent events have taken place which I must now reveal to you. A trusted advisor of mine has been revealed as a traitor to our world; it is due to the efforts of our new friends from Earth that we have been saved from those who wish to enslave us."

He nodded to Sha're who was waiting, she walked regally to his side and smiled as he took her hand.

"As you can see our Princess Elect is not wearing the veil to conceal her face and there is a very good reason for that," Hendro continued, "Tilsa is in fact Sha're, who agreed to help me to remove the threat to our world. We all owe both her and her husband a great debt as they had their lives disrupted to help us."

Turning to Sha're he gently kissed her hand, "My thanks to you and to your husband."

Daniel walked over to join them taking Sha're's hand and leading her join the rest of the team from Earth.

"I wish to apologise for the deception to you all," Hendro said, "But it was necessary."

x

As soon as Hendro had finished his speech he sagged in relief. Daniel felt Sha're tug at his hand.

"I wish to speak to him," she whispered before giving her husband a quick kiss, "I will be back quickly. This time I promise."

Daniel smiled releasing her hand turning to find Sarah standing.

"Hi," he said softly.

"You are married," she said stunned.

Daniel nodded, "I'm sorry if I did anything to lead you on Sarah. It's a long story but I was hurt and wanting to hurt her. Things are different now."

Sarah nodded not sure what to say finally she turned and just left him standing.

"You have such a way with people," Jack teased as he joined Daniel.

"Thanks Jack," Daniel replied sarcastically, "Are we ready to leave?"

"Once Sha're's finished saying goodbye," Jack told him, "Then we go."

"I'll go hurry her up."

x

Sha're felt sad as she said goodbye to Hendro and Ilea, they had both been such good friends to her.

"Thank you Sha're," Hendro said as he hugged her, "Thanks to you my people are still free and safe."

"It was mostly O'Neill and the Tauri who are to thank," Sha're told him.

"It was your idea," he reminded her, "Take care of you, Daniel, and of course your child. Make sure that we hear from you."

"I promise," Sha're told him before she turned and hugged Ilea, "I am going to miss you both."

"We're going to miss you too," Ilea smiled.

"Sha're," Daniel joined them, "Everyone's ready. Are you?"

She nodded taking his hand. As Sam entered the address Sha're looked at Hendro and Ilea one last time. With a small wave to them Sha're wished goodbye to the place that had been her home for so many months before she turned and with her husband's hand holding hers tightly she walked towards her new home.
