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

I know I said part six was the last but I then decided rather than sequel just to continue it on. So presenting Part Seven, enjoy.

Daniel stroked Sha're's cheek as she slept beside him, they were very close to home now and his nervousness was growing with each passing mile.

"They're going to be happy to see you," Jack reminded him from the driver's seat, "Though I can bet a few stunned looks when you arrive with Sha're."

Daniel smiled as Sha're shifted against him, "I am looking forward to seeing them again," he gave a small frown, "Have you told anyone I'm back?"

"Nope," Jack grinned.

"Not even Hammond?"

"I didn't want them coming and trying to persuade you to come back," Jack explained, "You were spooked enough as it was."

Daniel shrugged, "Why haven't you warned him now that I remember?"

Jack chuckled, "Cause I'm looking forward to seeing all their faces."

Cassie turned and shook her head at Daniel rolling her eyes, "You know he's been irritatingly cheerful since we walked into that house."

Daniel smiled shyly.

"Dan'iel," Sha're murmured sleepily as she opened her eyes.

"We're almost there," Daniel told her, "Almost home."

"But not Abydos," Sha're sighed sadly.

"No," Daniel sighed also, Jack had told them what had happened.

Sha're gently kissed her husband, "I am looking forward to seeing the others again."

"Me too," Daniel smiled his eyes catching the sign they were just passing, ten miles to go.

Sam shrugged she didn't know pre-empting the question when Janet joined her and Teal'c in the elevator.

"I take it you got the same message I did," Janet sighed, "I wonder what he's done this time."

"O'Neill's track record does suggest something unusual," Teal'c mentioned.

"Are we taking any bets?" Sam laughed.

"I'm betting that we're all going to be looking at the Colonel grinning inanely at us," Janet rolled her eyes.

"Not taking that bet," Sam grinned as they exited the elevator, "Hey Jonas."

Jonas nodded hello to them, "You get the message too?"

"Yes," Teal'c motioned them to the briefing room, "If we continue to stand here we will never know."

Sam exchanged and amused glance with Janet and took the lead.

"Hey Carter," Jack called as she entered from his seat at Hammond's side, "Teal'c, Doc, Jonas. Everyone grab a seat."

"Where's Cassie?" Janet asked.

"She'll be here in a few moments," Jack replied, "I have a surprise…well two surprises for you guys."

"Colonel, what did you do?" Janet asked sternly.

"I actually did nothing," Jack replied with a grin, "But I brought a few presents back from Cleveland with me."

"What did you bring?" Sam asked her suspicion turning to frustration.

"Jack, put them out of their misery," Hammond rolled his eyes.

"Cassie," Jack yelled, "Bring them in."

x

Cassie heard Jack call and turned to the nervous couple, "Ready."

"I guess so," Daniel breathed frowning as Sha're held back, "What?"

"You should go in alone," she told him, "I will wait until you have said your proper hellos."

"Are you sure?" Daniel asked her.

Sha're leaned up and gently kissed him just as Jack shouted for Cassie again.

"Go Dan'iel," she pushed him forward.

He squeezed her hand before following Cassie into the briefing room. He was so pleased he'd managed to persuade Jack to call ahead and at least warn Hammond about them. When they'd walked into the office amazingly not being seen by anyone who actually knew who he was Hammond had greeted them both warmly.

Daniel saw Sam, Janet and Jonas all staring at him open shock covering their faces, Teal'c was as surprised as Daniel had ever seen him.

"Hi guys," Daniel shrugged softly.

Sam jumped out of her seat as her friend stood there staring at him for a few moments before she grabbed him in a tight hug.

"Oh my God you're really here," she cried gripping him even tighter.

"Sam, let the rest of us say hello," Janet interrupted smiling as Sam moved out of the way and catching Daniel in a hug herself.

Finally the doctor let Daniel go and stepped back allowing Teal'c to step forward and embrace his young friend. Finally Jonas stepped forward shaking Daniel's hand firmly.

"What do you think of my gift?" Jack grinned.

"Told you," Janet murmured to Sam.

"It is wonderful to see you Daniel Jackson," Teal'c spoke for them all.

"You said two presents," Sam turned to her CO suspiciously.

"Danny want to get the other 'gift'?" Jack asked with grin.

Daniel smiled back and disappeared into the General's office for a few seconds. When he returned Sam, Janet and Teal'c stared in amazement at his companion. Jonas just looked confused.

"Hello again," Sha're said as she held Daniel's hand tightly.

"Sha're?" Sam found her voice first.

"How?" Janet turned to Jack who gave grinned and gave them the story he'd concocted.

"Is he still moping?" Buffy asked as she saw Xander sitting out in the back garden staring up at the clouds.

"Just a little," Willow replied with a grin, "We're all missing them in our own way."

"It's been almost a month," Buffy rolled her eyes.

They turned as Giles walked in talking on the phone.

"Yes I understand your concern Mrs O'Neill," he waved slightly to the girls, "No. No. As far as I know."

Buffy and Willow watched amused as Giles seemed to get more and more flustered.

"I don't have access to anything like that," he was arguing looking exceedingly annoyed, "The Council was blown up along with its library."

Willow almost giggled until Buffy hit her arm, they both watched as Giles eyes widened in amazement.

"You can't…" Giles was becoming speechless, "You actually have copies?"

The girls stared at each other in confusion.

"That's a good idea," Giles was now smiling, "I'll arrange it as soon as I finish speaking to you."

Buffy and Willow watched as he disappeared again.

"I have no idea," Willow told her friend.

"We're going to Colorado," Xander announced as he entered the kitchen, "Giles has already called Faith to have her and Robin come to guard the Hellmouth."

"Why?" Buffy asked.

"Because Jack's mother has copies of just about everything the Council had," Giles appeared, "Since she was heading to visit him anyway, we're going to meet up with her there and get the information we need to track Lucas."

"I thought we weren't bothering too much about him?" Buffy asked.

"Apparently, I made a huge miscalculation," Giles replied, "I've just been told how badly. I'll explain later. All we have to do is call Jack now and let him know he's getting visitors, also get him to recommend a hotel."

"Look's like we're going on a trip," Buffy frowned, "I'd better call in sick to work; you two have to as well."

Willow gave a half-smile, "Roadtrip."

"Sure Oz," Jack said motioning Daniel to hold on, "I'll tell them. No, I haven't yet. I'll see you guys then."

"What?" Daniel asked leaning against the counter in the kitchen.

"Oz just called to tell us that Giles, Buffy and co are all headed this way," Jack explained, "And to add to the wonder my mother is also on her way."

Daniel's eyes widened, "We get to meet your mother?"

"It's not that great an honour," Jack replied flatly before glancing at the clock on the wall, "What are you doing up at this time anyway?"

"I heard the phone," Daniel shrugged, "Besides Sha're wanted some water."

Jack smiled, he'd persuaded Daniel and Sha're to stay with him until they got something more permanent mostly so he could be sure neither was going to disappear.

"Well go get some sleep," Jack told him, "And tomorrow will be extra special fun."

Daniel laughed, "Night Jack."

Daniel smiled as he got his wife a glass of water before heading back to their room. It felt good to have his memory back although some of it was truly horrifying; he was relieved to remember his life. After Jack had brought them here from the base they'd ate dinner with him before excusing themselves so they could talk. Both he and Sha're cried at one point during their talk but now they felt able to look forward. They were looking at houses in their spare time as well as organising a ceremony to renew their vows.

"Here," he handed her the glass before sliding in beside her again.

Sha're finished her water and cuddled up against him, "Who was calling?"

"Oz," Daniel told her, "They're coming here."

"Really?" Sha're asked intrigued.

"Not only that but Jack's mother is also coming," Daniel grinned.

Sha're smiled as she thought about that, "That will be interesting."

"I had a thought," Daniel murmured as his wife gently stroked his arm, "Why don't we renew our vows while they're here. That means we get to do it sooner and we know they'll be here for it."

Sha're sighed, "That is a wonderful idea my husband," she turned onto her stomach her arm sliding up around his neck her leg slipping between both of his.

Daniel smiled as she fell asleep quickly but he lay awake for a while wondering why everyone was coming here and if it would affect them. His wife shifted against him in her sleep and Daniel closed his eyes allowing her deep breathing to lull him into a deep sleep.

Sure that his houseguests were both fast asleep Jack walked to his room and moved the picture of the Orion belt that sat beside the wardrobe. He reluctantly reached out and touched the symbol on the wall murmuring the keyword softly.

A secret door appeared and Jack entered the small sanctuary. It had been a long time since he'd been here, he'd set it up when he moved in leaving everything in here that would remind him of a legacy he despised.

Not that he always had. There'd been a time when he would spend hours practicing to become the best he could be and he was powerful even if he refused to use his powers. In fact he was surprised Willow hadn't discovered just how powerful he was but he'd been suppressing it for so long it probably would only register with her if she had been looking.

Jack saw the picture of him and Sara on their family wedding day before they were married in a more normal ceremony for their friends. He'd always known about magic, he'd grown up around it and had begun using it when he was barely out of diapers. His mother was a Watcher and although she knew about magic she didn't have much power, his father however was powerful.

He'd met Sara Connelly at a solstice ceremony and instantly fell for her. Jack knew he was a powerful mage but Sara…she could blow him out of the water she was so powerful.

His magic was one of the things that made him so good at undercover work, and although he'd hate to admit it was also a major factor in why SG1 survived against such overwhelming odds so often.

It was after the death of Charlie that both he and Sara stopped using their magic consciously, it wouldn't return their son to them so they both stopped believing.

Now with his mother coming he knew he should at least make sure everything was in order magically in case it was needed, which he had a horrible feeling would be.

Sha're smiled as she saw the familiar car pull up.

"They are here," she called to Daniel and Jack before she headed out to greet them.

"Hey," Xander cried jumping out first and grabbing Sha're in a tight hug grinning as Jack and Daniel wandered over, "Hi guys."

Buffy, Dawn and Giles exited the car and joined them. Buffy hugged Daniel first before she let Dawn say hello. As everyone finished Oz and Willow drew up and the hugs started all over again.

"Everyone inside," Jack ordered swapping an amused glance with Giles who was grabbing bags out of the car.

The group headed into Jack's house Dawn was telling Daniel all about her latest project for the Watchers while Xander and Sha're were catching up. Oz strolled over to where Jack was ordering food for everyone and leaned against the wall.

"Have you called her yet?" he asked.

"No," Jack frowned at his nephew's expression of disappointment, "Knock it off, it's been a busy few months. How are things going with Willow?"

Oz nodded, "Good."

Jack rolled his eyes at his nephew reticent nature but before he could say anything someone rang the doorbell. Everyone continued their conversations and Jack sighed heading to the door himself.

Opening the door the first thing he saw was the hand that smacked him round the head.

"Ow," Jack cried.

"It's less than you deserve," the woman standing there told him before opening her arms to him.

"Hi Mom," Jack hugged her tightly giving her cheek a kiss, "You're looking good."

"The grey hair suits you," Grace O'Neill told her son, "You look more like your father than before."

"I'm not taking that as a complement," Jack motioned her in taking her bag, "Come join the madhouse."

Leading her in Jack saw Oz smile and walk over to them.

Grace instantly hugged him, "You're looking well Daniel…sorry I forgot Oz."

"Grandma Grace," Oz smiled back, "You look good too."

"Well," Grace said to her boys, "How about some introductions."

Daniel looked up from his conversation with Dawn as Jack led the latest arrival over to the group.

"Mom, this is Daniel Jackson and his wife Sha're," Jack introduced them, "Buffy and Dawn Summers, Xander Harris, Willow Rosenberg and Rupert Giles. Everyone this is my mother, Grace O'Neill."

x

Sha're had decided to take a few moments away from everyone and took a seat out in the garden.

"Do you mind if I join you?"

Sha're looked up to find Grace standing there.

"Of course not," Sha're smiled softly she was a little nervous around Jack's mother she seemed to be nice but like Jack had a streak of iron through her.

"Jack said that you and your husband have been staying with him until you find a place of your own," Grace settled beside her, "I've never known him to let anyone into his life like that."

Sha're gave a soft smile, "Well Jack and Dan'iel are extremely close."

"That's nice to know," Grace smiled, "Well at least you won't be the only girl here for a while."

Sha're gave a soft laugh, "I do not need to worry, Dan'iel will happily do what I ask and Jack is very easy to talk into things."

"You have them both wrapped around your finger," Grace mused, "Good girl."

x

"Okay," Grace said to Jack later that night, "We need to have a little talk."

"Mom," Jack sighed.

"From what Giles told me this Lucas character had certain designs on your friends," Grace said, "What's so special about them?"

Jack sighed, "It's hard to explain. But Sha're was dead a few years ago."

Grace's eyes widened, "Then how…they're bonded?"

"Apparently so," Jack shrugged, "This guy Lucas wanted to use Daniel to open the Hellmouth."

"Does Daniel have that kind of power?" Grace asked intently.

Jack shrugged, "As far as I know Mom, no."

"Well I brought everything Giles needs to restart the Watchers Council," Grace said, "We should get some sleep and go over what we know tomorrow."

"I guess," Jack sighed.

"Are you still repressing your true nature?" Grace asked with disappointment in her eyes, "Jack, you have so much power, your magic is a gift."

"What use was that gift when Charlie was dying?" Jack snapped, "I couldn't use it to save my son then I don't want it."

Grace sighed knowing not to start this conversation just now instead she stood up and gave her son a kiss on the forehead, "Goodnight Jack. I'll see you in the morning."

He squeezed her hand as she left him to get some sleep.

x

"Dan'iel," Sha're whispered curling up against his back, "Something must be happening for them all to be here. Why is Jack not telling us?"

Daniel turned to face her, "Probably trying to protect us. The thing that I want to know is how I never had any idea about his connection to the world of magic before."

"To protect you," Sha're whispered she closed her eyes for a second, "I am scared Dan'iel," she confessed, "You are the one he went after, what if he tries to hurt you again?"

Daniel gently touched her cheek, "I have a Slayer, a very powerful Witch and a Werewolf to watch over me. You don't have to worry about me."

"It is nice to see them again," Sha're smiled as Daniel pulled her close.

"You and Xander seemed happy to see one another," Daniel teased.

Sha're giggled, "Are you jealous my husband."

Daniel pulled her so she was lying under him holding her hands above her head with one of his hands, "Let's see," he murmured using his free hand to stroke her cheek, "Who's bed are you in?"

"I believe this belongs to Jack," Sha're replied squealing with laughter as Daniel started to tickle her.

Lucas cast the runes, this was the third thing he'd used to check what he knew was happening.

He would get the power this time. There was no way they would be able to stop him this time. The only thing they'd be able to do to stop him would be to kill her and he knew they would never do it. Especially as they would also kill her child.

Lucas laughed to himself; they would never do it meaning he would win.
