Kimberly:- You'll have to wait and see.

Jack groaned as the phone rang interrupting his well-earned sleep. He tried to block out the ringing hoping Sara would answer it before it occurred to him that she and Charlie were in LA visiting her sister this week.

"What?" he growled as he answered the phone.

"Good morning to you too," Hammond answered wryly, "I need you in as soon as possible."

Jack managed not to sigh, "Yes sir."

Dragging himself out of bed he showered quickly managing to grab a quick cup of coffee before he headed to the base knowing that the day was just going to get worse.

"Sorry for bringing you in on your day off," Hammond apologised as Jack walked into his office, "I thought you'd want to see this."

Jack took the piece of paper Hammond held out to him.

"Any idea who this came from?" Jack asked after he read the communication.

"None whatsoever," Hammond told him, "But all the security codes were used when it came to us."

"I'll take SG1, 3 and 5 with me," Jack said, "Secure the area and find out what's going on."

"Call as soon as you know anything," Hammond said.

Jack sighed, "Great a daytrip."

"What the hell is going on?" the man in charge demanded as Jack started taking over the dig site.

Jack recognised him as Dr Daniel Jackson, the head of the dig.

"We're taking over," Jack informed him.

"Excuse me?" Jackson's blue eyes darkened with anger, "You have absolutely no right…"

Jack cut him off by handing him the paperwork seeing the man's jaw clamp tightly.

"Why?" Jackson demanded.

"It is my fault Dan'iel," Sha're said as she appeared in the tent.

"Sha're?" Jack stared at the young woman he loved like a sister standing before him, "So this is where you've been hiding."

"I said to be subtle Jack," Sha're snapped, "This is not subtle."

"Well considering the cryptic message," Jack replied, "It's not surprising."

"Sha're what's going on?" Jackson demanded.

Sha're sighed, "I am sorry Dan'iel but I can't explain."

"Look Doc," Jack interrupted, "You're no longer in charge. I need to talk to Sha're alone and this is a family thing."

"Jack," Sha're snapped moving over to him, "Let me talk to Dan'iel alone."

"No time," Jack told her.

"Jack…"

"Sha're we have things to do," Jack reminded her.

"Sha're?" Daniel said.

"Doc, beat it," Jack snapped.

"Not until I've talked to my wife," Daniel snarled.

Jack froze, "What?"

Sha're took Daniel's hand turning to the Colonel, "Jack, this is Dan'iel my husband."

"Are you kidding me?" Jack demanded.

"No," Sha're said before Daniel could snap back.

"Sha're, your parents are going to go nuts," Jack cried.

"Father can…" Sha're trailed off, "You said parents?"

"Najia is alive, well and worried sick about you," Jack told her.

"But…but…" Sha're stammered.

Daniel wrapped his arms around her letting her lean on him.

"I need to speak with Jack," Sha're told her husband. "Please Dan'iel."

Daniel grimaced slightly but nodded brushing a gentle kiss to her lips, "I'll be just outside."

"Thank you," she breathed squeezing his hand as he left before she turned to Jack, "How?"

"The last mission you were on all of you were drugged," Jack explained, "Najia was only hurt but apparently what you'd been given exaggerated the injury in your mind and made you cut your ties with us. We caught it in the others as Carter and Kawalsky stayed overnight in the base."

"She's alive," Sha're felt her tears well up, "What about this drug?"

"It's probably mostly out of your system now but Dr Fraiser will want to check it out anyway," Jack told her, "When we get back to the SGC…"

"I can't," she told him.

"Sha're?"

"Jack, I am married to Dan'iel and I love him," Sha're said before taking a deep breath, "And I'm pregnant."

"What?" Jack choked.

"Dan'iel doesn't know yet and you cannot tell him," Sha're said, "I won't leave him."

"Look, let me see what you found," Jack told her, "Then we'll go from there."

Sha're glared at Jack as she rested Daniel's head in her lap. The moment Jack had seen the ring platform and hand devices he groaned before calling up to Jacob who was waiting in a Teltac for him.

Sha're had firmly refused to leave Egypt unless Daniel was with her so Jack sedated the young doctor and brought him up to the Teltac. He was steeling himself for the argument between Sha're and her parents when they found out about her marriage and subsequent pregnancy.

Jack studied the young woman as she fussed over her husband, she seemed to really be in love with him and from what he'd seen of him Jackson obviously loved her too.

Jacob had looked surprised at the venomous look Sha're gave him when he said hello to her and Jack just rolled his eyes.

The moment they arrived at the SGC Jack had Dr Jackson moved to a VIP room where Sha're sat with him.

"As soon as he is awake then I shall speak with everyone," Sha're informed Jack slamming the door in his face.

Daniel groaned as he woke up to find his wife lying beside him stroking his face.

"Thank goodness," she sighed gently kissing him, "I was worried about you."

"What happened?" Daniel asked sitting up.

"My past," Sha're told him her hand resting on his cheek, "I'm sorry Dan'iel. I didn't know what else to do but call them when you found the room."

"I don't understand Sha're," Daniel said, "What did I find? What is going on?"

Before Sha're could answer the door burst open and a man appeared saying something angrily in a language Daniel couldn't understand.

To Daniel's surprise his wife answered back just as angrily standing up and facing the older man. As they argued another woman appeared at the door and Daniel knew he was looking at Sha're's mother.

"My little girl," the woman said in English rushing to Sha're and wrapping her arms around her.

"Mamma?" Sha're cried tears starting to flow along her cheeks as she hugged her mother tightly.

"Now," the man switched to English, "I would like an explanation."

"Father," Sha're moved back to where Daniel stood completely confused taking his hand in hers, "This is Dan'iel, my husband."

"What?"

"Dan'iel," Sha're continued, "These are Najia and Kasuf, my parents."

"Ah hello," Daniel said unsure.

Kasuf looked at Daniel, "What kind of man would marry without the consent of her parents?"

"I…"

"I did not tell Dan'iel about you," Sha're snapped, "You have no right to make him feel bad."

"Sha're," Najia interrupted, "We are just a little shocked. When you disappeared…"

"Jack explained to me," Sha're said, "Mamma, please let me speak to Dan'iel alone for a few moments and then I will join you."

"Of course," Najia said taking Kasuf's arm, "Come my husband."

Kasuf reluctantly left the room.

"Sha're what the hell is going on?" Daniel cried in complete confusion.

Sha're sighed and leaned up placing a kiss on his lips, "I can't tell you. Please just trust me."

"You can't ask me to do that," Daniel pulled away from her pacing and pushing his hand through his hair, "Sha're, this is insane."

"I don't know how this is going to turn out," Sha're moved over to him, "But there's something I have to tell you."

"You can tell me something?" Daniel asked sarcastically.

"That's not fair," she sighed before taking his hands and looking deep into his eyes, "Dan'iel, I'm pregnant."

Daniel gasped in amazement, "Are you sure?"

Sha're nodded, "I took three tests just to be sure. I didn't want to tell you like this."

"Oh Sha're," Daniel wrapped his arms around her, "I'm sorry I snapped, you know I love you."

She smiled up at him, "I love you too. Now I need you to trust in me. Stay here; don't leave the room because they will imprison you if you try. I need to speak to the others about some things. Promise me."

"Sha're…"

"Promise me," she stressed.

Daniel sighed in annoyance, "I promise."

Sha're smiled at him giving him one last kiss before she left. Daniel groaned as he sat back down on the bed.

"Sha're what the hell were you thinking?" Jack yelled.

"I thought she was dead," Sha're snapped back, "I wanted to be away from everything. Looking back it was stupid but what's done is done."

"What about this man?" Kasuf asked with obvious distaste.

"Dan'iel is my husband," Sha're turned on him, "And the father of my child."

"Child?" Najia and Kasuf cried.

"Why did you not tell us this before now?" Kasuf demanded.

"Because I wanted to tell my husband first," Sha're replied.

"Okay," Hammond interrupted them, "Everyone we need to settle down and get on to the actual subject."

"George is right," Najia placed a calming hand on her husband's arm, "The room that was discovered, is there any indications who it relates to?"

"None that I could see," Sha're told her, "All there were was the ring platform and the hand devices."

"Isn't it likely that once we activate the rings we'll be taken to a ship," Sam Carter said, "This is probably just a way in."

"Carter's right," Jack said, "We should see where they take us."

"Sha're, I would send you but we can't risk exposing the existence of the SGC to your husband," Hammond told her.

"Dan'iel knows," Sha're said.

"WHAT?!!!!!!" Jack, Hammond and Kasuf turned on her.

"Not like that," Sha're hurriedly explained, "He has theories which have been proved by us. General, Dan'iel is brilliant, more so than anyone here. He deserves to know that he is right. Besides we always need people like him."

"I'll think it over," Hammond told her, "Go and see Dr Fraiser so she can make sure that drug is out of your system then you should take your husband to the commissary for something to eat."

"Thank you," Sha're smiled before she disappeared.

"You cannot seriously be thinking about letting that man join us?" Kasuf snapped the moment he was sure his daughter was out of hearing range.

"Kasuf," Najia frowned, "They are married."

"I did not give my consent," Kasuf reminded his wife, "By Abydonian law they are not."

"But by Earth's laws they are," Najia replied, "We're all shocked by this, none of us expected it but at least she is safe. I imagined so many horrible things that could have happened to her this was nowhere on the list."

"Kasuf," Jack joined in, "She does love him and from what I've seen this guy loves her too."

"What does love have to do with this?" Kasuf snapped at Jack.

Najia turned on him speaking sharply in Abydonian before she walked out of the room.

"Sleeping on the couch tonight?" Jack asked Kasuf.

"It looks that way," Kasuf sighed.

"Maybe we should reconvene after we've had some time to cool down," Hammond suggested before heading back to his office.

Sha're sat on the bed in the infirmary Janet pointed to waiting, she was pleased to be back here. Sha're had spent most of her life commuting between Earth and Abydos before they had settled here so she could go to school. Her uncle was Chief Elder on Abydos, a position her father had declined so they could live here. Unfortunately Kasuf had a tendency to pick and choose which Abydonian ideals to keep a hold of to suit him.

"Okay Sha're," Janet smiled, "I'll take some blood quickly to check for the drug."

Sha're nodded.

"It's good to have you home," Janet told her, "Everyone's been really worried about you."

Sha're sighed, "Thinking back on it leaving was stupid but I have met the most wonderful man Janet."

"I heard about that," her friend smiled.

"If I could go back and redo all this I wouldn't change anything," Sha're said, "I love Dan'iel."

"I don't doubt that," Janet replied, "Now, let's get this over and done with then we'll take a look at your baby."

After Janet finished taking blood she got Sha're to lie back. Sha're winced a little as the cold gel was squeezed onto her bare stomach, "I wish you would allow Dan'iel here for this."

"He only has permission to go to the commissary after your medical," Janet reminded her, "I'll give you the pictures to show him though."

Sha're sighed, "Alright."

"Okay," Janet said as she looked at the screen, "Let's see."

"Am I too late?" Najia asked walking over to them.

"Just starting," Janet told her. Najia brought over a chair taking her daughter's hand as Janet turned back to the screen, "There you are. That's your baby Sha're."

Daniel looked up as the door opened to the small room he'd been stuck in for the past few hours.

"Sha're," he jumped off the bed as his wife walked in.

She wrapped her arms around him, "Here I have something to show you," she held out her ultrasound picture, "Our baby's first picture."

"Oh wow," Daniel breathed, "I wish I could have seen this."

"So do I," Sha're kissed him, "Are you hungry?"

"A little," Daniel replied, "I have no idea when breakfast was."

"Come on," Sha're took his hand and led him out the door, "Ignore them," she told him when he noticed they were being followed.

Daniel frowned as they entered the small cafeteria; he didn't exactly know much about the military but from what he could tell there were at least two different branches mixed together.

"Don't think about it," Sha're told him leading him to a seat, "I'll get us something to eat. I know what is edible here."

Daniel smiled watching her trying not to glance around the room too much; he was confused as hell about what was going on. Yesterday, well he thought it was yesterday he'd been so excited about his discovery and suddenly he was somewhere he had no idea about and his wife, his wonderful wife was not who he thought.

"Here," Sha're placed a plate in front of him as well as a mug of coffee, "Dan'iel, I know this is confusing for you but you have to trust me. I have never lied to you about anything there are just some things I neglected to tell you."

Daniel nodded, "For now."

Sha're squeezed his hand, "Eat. Now Dr Jackson."

Daniel laughed at her mock stern look before starting to eat.

"Well?" Hammond asked.

"I did the check you asked for," Micki Littlefield reported as she took the seat across from him, "Dr Daniel Jackson, born in Egypt July eighth 1965. Parents killed June 1973 in New York. He has degrees in Archaeology, Anthropology and Linguistics. His file says he knows over twenty languages though he may know more now."

"Very impressive," Hammond murmured, "Anything else?"

"Yes," Micki pulled out several pieces of paper, "He's written several articles on cross-pollination of ancient cultures. General, he's very close to the truth."

"Have you read all this?" Hammond asked skimming over the articles.

"Three times each," Micki replied, "And Mom looked over them as well. He is brilliant."

"Your recommendation Doctor?" Hammond asked.

"My mother told me to tell you to hire him as fast as you can," Micki laughed, "And I'm telling you the same thing."

"Thank you Micki," Hammond smiled fondly at the young woman, "And tell your mother if she wants to bully me it's more fun in person."
