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

I had this planned out in my head one night as I was lying in bed, then I went to sleep and forgot bits.

Anyway I finally managed to get this chapter done so hope you enjoy and I'll start working on Part 11.

Everyone was getting ready to head back to the hotel. Jack was having his team over for dinner so Daniel could tell them about the wedding and the couple's news.

Sha're caught Xander's arm as he was hunting for his jacket, "Can I speak with you for a moment Xander?"

Surprised he shrugged, "Sure."

Sha're looked at the full room and frowned not wanting to speak in front of everyone.

"Come with me," she pulled him out to the back garden.

Once outside Xander stood waiting for her to start speaking but Sha're chewed her lip nervously remaining silent.

"Okay, I am desperate to hear what you want to say," Xander told her, "But the others will want to go soon."

"Sorry," she gave a soft smile, "I did have a reason to speak with you."

He waited but she remained silent.

"Sha're what is wrong?" he cried getting worried about her.

"You know about Dan'iel's plan for the wedding," Sha're said smiling as he nodded, "Well he was telling me that the bride has someone close to her who gives her away at the ceremony."

"And?" Xander asked.

Sha're laughed softly amazed he was not getting what she wanted to know, "I wish you to do that. I wish you to give me away at the ceremony."

"Me?" Xander stared at her, "You want me?"

"You are the one closest to me," Sha're told him before looking worried, "You will do it?"

Xander pulled her into a tight hug, "Of course I will, I'm honoured."

"Hey there," Daniel grinned as he opened the door to Sam, Teal'c, Janet, Cassie and General Hammond, "Come on in guys."

They filed in Sam stopping and hugging her friend, she hadn't really seen him for a few weeks allowing him space to get back his life.

"What does everyone want to drink?" Jack asked, playing host as Daniel disappeared to see if his wife was ready to join them.

Sha're was fixing her hair when Daniel entered the room, she turned to him smiling.

"Are you ready?" he asked softly.

"Yes," she stood, "How do I look?"

"Gorgeous as always," Daniel kissed her encircling her waist with his arms, "You know there's times I can't believe you're here."

Sha're's eyes sparkled hugging him tightly, despite knowing the danger they could possibly be in discovering she was pregnant and Daniel's surprise 'wedding' had her glowing.

"Well everyone's here," Daniel told her, "Come on."

Sha're allowed herself to be swept out of the room to join everyone. She greeted her husband's friends shyly she hadn't had much time to get to know any of them other than Jack. Cassie however she greeted more openly since they had spent the journey back to Colorado getting to know each other.

"Everyone grab a seat," Jack told them, they'd decided to have a more formal dinner rather than Jack's usual barbecue, "Dinner will be served within a few moments."

The door opened making everyone turn as Grace entered.

"Mom," Jack grinned taking the bag she was carrying off her, "Did you get what you needed?"

She nodded, "Aren't you going to introduce me?"

Jack rolled his eyes at her before turning to the others who with the exception of Daniel and Sha're were looking expectantly at them.

"Guys this is my mother Grace O'Neill," Jack introduced, "Mom, this is Sam Carter, Teal'c, Janet Fraiser, her daughter Cassie and General George Hammond."

"Ah, I've heard a great deal about all of you," Grace smiled, "Let's eat."

The dinner was relaxed but as it reached the end Daniel and Sha're both became restless wanting to share their news. Finally everyone had their coffee and Daniel decided now was the best time.

"As much as I wanted to see you all," he started, "There is an ulterior motive to bringing you all here tonight."

"Really?" Janet asked a knowing smile on her face.

"What is it?" Sam asked sharing a confused glance with Teal'c.

"Well," Daniel gripped Sha're's hand under the table, "We have two things to tell you and one is a favour to ask also."

"Okay, spit it out," Sam said interested and suspicious.

"First of all," Daniel grinned squeezing his wife's hand, "We're having a baby, Sha're's pregnant."

"Oh my God," Cassie squealed, bouncing up and hugging Sha're, "That's fabulous."

As everyone piled on the congratulations Jack watched smiling, finally the noise died down giving Daniel a chance to continue.

"The other thing is on Saturday we're renewing our vows," Daniel explained, "We were planning on doing in later but since our friends are here from Cleveland…"

"Dawn and the gang are here?" Cassie interrupted.

"Oh Cass I forgot to tell you," Daniel winced at how stupid he was forgetting how close the two girls had become.

"Never mind," Cassie rolled her eyes her sarcastic voice sounding far too much like Jack, "Continue."

Daniel laughed at her before returning his attention to the others, "Well if you guys don't have anything better to do we want you there."

Hammond who already knew simply smiled. Sam, Janet, Cassie and Teal'c descended on the couple as the other three watched on.

Sha're stood with Xander, Buffy and Dawn in the back room waiting as the girls fussed over her dress. She couldn't believe how they'd managed to find the most perfect dress for her but Sha're had learned a long time ago that her friends were amazing at things like this. Then again there had been a conversation not long before Jack had arrived.

"What are you looking at?" Sha're asked confused to find Dawn, Buffy and Willow laughing.

"Oh," Buffy looked up, "I needed change and this was the first magazine I grabbed. It's a wedding one."

"May I see?" Sha're asked intrigued wondering how different weddings would be from her home.

"Grab a seat," Dawn grinned allowing Sha're space to sit beside them.

Sha're stared at the beautiful white gowns thoughtfully, "Why are the gowns white?"

"Wedding gowns aren't white where you come from?" Dawn asked.

Sha're shook her head, "No, we wear red. It is symbolic of new life," she pointed out a bridesmaid's gown, "I would wear something like that."

"Is that what you'd wear if Daniel asked you marry him?" Willow teased making Sha're blush.

"Neither of us are thinking about that," Sha're told her, "He is not ready."

"But you are," Buffy grinned wickedly.

"I love Dan'iel," Sha're smiled, "I do not need anything else."

"Just now," Willow finished for her

Sha're gave a mysterious smile returning her attention to the pictures.

Willow scattered the remaining sand as she and Jack finished the incantation creating the barrier around the building being used for the ceremony. They merged some spells together to protect their friends as well as the children she and Sha're were carrying.

"You are really powerful," Willow noted as they started back to the hall, "I didn't even get a hint of this when our minds were linked."

Jack shrugged, "I've been repressing this for so long I guess even in my mind it's hidden."

"And now you're using it again," Willow said thoughtfully, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Of what?" Jack asked interested.

"Of losing control," Willow replied with a shrug, "Of becoming worse than the evil we fight."

Jack stopped leaning against the wall, "I've a feeling you're speaking from experience."

Willow dropped her eyes, "You know about Tara?"

Jack nodded.

"When she was shot I…I lost control," Willow told him, "My addiction to magic took over and I let dark magic control me. I nearly destroyed the world; I nearly killed my best friends."

"Been there, done that," Jack told her, "I nearly killed Daniel once," he saw horror fill her eyes, "So what happened?"

"Xander," Willow smiled, her eyes tinged with slight sadness, "I would have killed him and I kept hitting him with bolts of magic but he wouldn't give up."

Jack gently touched the young woman's shoulder, "Let me give you a little piece of advice. The magic can only control you if you let it, after all the things I've seen and done, after the death of my son," he paused for a second, "There are many times I could have ended up allowing dark magic to take me over but I've learned that I'm never alone. I have friends who love me, who are my family. You have to learn that too."

Willow nodded, "I know that now."

"Then never forget it," Jack placed his arm around her shoulders giving her quick hug, "Come on, it's time to start the show."

Jack walked Willow to where the girls were waiting. Entering the room he saw Sha're and silently moved to her gently kissing her cheek.

"You look beautiful," he told her, "I'll make sure to catch him when he collapses."

Sha're laughed blushing slightly.

"Jack," Sha're whispered, "Thank you so much for all this."

Jack wrapped her in a tight hug, "You are more than welcome honey. I'll go make sure he's ready."

Sha're nodded, smiling as he left the room. Turning to the girls and Xander she took a deep breath amazed how unsure she was doing this. They were already married, they were having a child but for some reason she was nervous.

"Come on Sha're," Xander took her placing it on his arm, "It's time."

Sha're brushed her hand against his tux, "You look very handsome."

"I scrub up pretty good," he grinned, "Come on let's not keep him waiting too long, he might think you're not coming."

Lucas had everything set, it was time.

He carefully placed each candle in their position lighting them with the swipe of his hand. Once he was sure everything was ready for the summoning he set up the cell making sure once and for all there was no way she could escape from it.

Opening the book he found the spell he needed. It was time to fulfil his destiny and become more powerful than anyone.

Daniel watched as Buffy, Dawn and Willow walked down the aisle but his attention was quickly moved as Sha're appeared. She was wearing a deep red low-cut dress, a garland of red roses set upon her tightly curled jet black hair. Her face was radiant, her dark brown eyes sparkling, her lips parted slightly and a soft blush covering her cheeks as Xander walked her along the aisle to Daniel, with a smile Xander gently kissed Sha're's cheek before he placed her hand in Daniel's.

"Friends," Hammond started a smile covering his face, "We are all here privileged to witness Daniel and Sha're renewing the vows of love and marriage they made to each other several years ago. After so much and such a long separation they have found each other once more," Hammond paused before he turned to the young man standing before him, "Daniel."

Daniel turned to Sha're and took both her hands in his, "You already know how much I loved you the day we first married, ironically the day we first met," he started smiling as she smiled at him, "The day I lost you I fell into a black hole I thought I would never find a way out of but now you're here again and the light has returned to my life. Each moment I spend with you makes me realise how lucky I truly am to have you in my life. I have never loved anyone the way I love you, no one has ever known me the way you do. I can't promise you that everything is going to perfect but if I could I would and I would make sure that nothing ever harmed you. All I can promise is to love you and our child for the rest of my life. I am honoured that you are my wife and I will do my best to make sure you smile this way for the rest of our lives."

Daniel stopped speaking and turned to Hammond who handed him the gold wedding ring. Taking Sha're's hand Daniel held up the ring to her.

"When we first married we didn't need anything as everyone knew us and knew we were husband and wife but things are different here," he took a deep breath, "These rings belonged to my parents, now I give this to you as a token of my love and everlasting devotion to you."

Sha're sniffed back tears at her husband's words unable to stop smiling as he slid the ring onto her finger.

"Sha're," Hammond invited her to make her vows.

"Dan'iel," Sha're started but before she could say another word bright light filled the room. When it subsided Sha're was gone.

"Sha're?" Daniel yelled.

"Willow?" Oz's voice rang out at the same time.

Sha're turned in surprise finding herself in a small cave, she was amazed to find Willow standing beside her looking as shocked as she was.

"Where are we?" she whispered gripping Willow's hand.

"I don't know," Willow replied moving forward finding bars blocking their way, "But there's no way out."

"Well," a man appeared in front of them both women recognised him instantly as Lucas, "This was unexpected."
