Author's Notes:- Thanks to Stonedtoad for betaing.
Thanks to everyone who's reviewed and encouraged me to continue this.
It's unnerving doing a completely alternate universe fic in case people just hate it so thanks and I'm working on Part 6.
Micki stood at the door to Sha're's office watching her friend as she poured over the script.
"Stop lurking," Sha're said without turning around.
"I just came to see how you were," Micki moved into the small office taking the spare seat.
It was three days since Daniel had disappeared and Sha're had done nothing but study the writings from the tomb.
"I'm tired Micki," Sha're turned to her friend tears in her eyes, "And I just want Dan'iel back."
"You should come and get something to eat with me," Micki told her.
Sha're sighed, "I just throw it up ten minutes later. There isn't much point."
"Sha're you need to leave this room," Micki pressed her, "If you don't I'll go get Janet."
"That's blackmail," Sha're grimaced.
"I know," Micki grinned taking her friend's arm, "Come on we'll go for a quick walk."
Knowing she wouldn't be left alone until she did as Micki said Sha're moved without resistance. As they walked Sha're sighed again.
"I know this is hard for you," Micki said as they reached the top of the mountain, "But you have to take care of yourself. Locking yourself in your office isn't healthy for either you or the baby."
"Who sent you?" Sha're demanded hotly, "My mother, Janet?"
"Actually it was Kasuf," Micki shrugged, "He didn't think you'd talk to him."
Sha're dropped her eyes, "He hasn't talked to me."
Micki sighed, she and Sha're had grown up together, they were as close as sisters but right now Micki felt her friend pulling away.
"You used to talk to me," Micki sat beside Sha're, "What's changed?"
Sha're turned on her, "What's changed is I don't want to talk, I don't want to vent my feelings. All I want is Dan'iel back."
"Sha're, you're going to have to admit to yourself that it's more than likely Daniel isn't coming back," Micki said very softly, "You have to start living again. Especially for your baby."
"I was so happy," Sha're whispered resting her hands on her stomach, "And I know you are right but I can't give up on him yet."
Micki wrapped her arms around her friend and hugged her tightly as Sha're fought against her tears once more.

Daniel sat waiting as Jonas finished giving orders to the other members of the resistance.
"Sorry," the younger man sat across from him, "Have you worked out what any of that says yet?"
Daniel shook his head, "Sorry but I haven't had much time to study this before now."
Jonas noticed how drawn Daniel looked, "Don't worry about it. You can study it some more on the ship. We have to move again, Apophis may have found us."
"Where to this time?" Daniel asked tiredly they'd moved three times since he'd been rescued by Jonas.
"The moon to my homeworld has a small base on it," Jonas told him, "There's nothing of value there for the Goa'uld so they won't bother us."
"Good," Daniel sighed.
"Come on," Jonas motioned him to head to the small ship.

"I know this is strange," Sha're said softly as they sat in the Teltac heading back to Egypt.
"That's one way of putting it," Daniel laughed slightly, "But it's a great way to travel."
"We salvaged several of these about ten years ago," Sha're explained, "Jacob always complains we use him as a taxi service."
"I don't get the hierarchy," Daniel told her, "I mean…"
Sha're laughed again squeezing his hand, "It is a very like a family business. Jacob and George were part of the first SG1; they worked with the people of Abydos along with Ernest and Catherine as translators. When my parents married and came to Earth to help fight the Goa'uld they both joined Catherine and Ernest's team of translators. About twelve years ago Jacob was injured just after we made contact with the Tok'ra; Selmak's original host was injured beyond the symbiote's ability to repair so he moved to save Jacob. That was when Sam joined us."
"So that's General Hammond and Jacob Carter were the same rank but since Jacob's Tok'ra he's an ambassador," Daniel listed, "The head of the archaeology department is Catherine or Ernest depending. Jack O'Neill leads SG1 with your brother, Sam Carter and some guy called Teal'c."
"That is right," Sha're smiled.
"So what about you?" Daniel asked.
"I jump about," she laughed, "I do field-work a lot or more accurately I did. And then I would study our finds as much as possible also. That is exactly what you'll be doing."
"What will you be doing?" Daniel teased.
"Taking care of our little bundle," Sha're placed his hand on her stomach, "And keeping you right."
"So nothing will change," Daniel laughed as he kissed her.

"Daniel," Jonas woke him up, "Come on, we have to get underground as fast as we can."
Daniel sighed wanting to return back to the dream/memory with his wife. Reluctantly he followed the young resistance leader deep into underground caves where ragged people were scattered around. He watched as a young girl, no more than eight huddled in front of a fire eating what looked like stale bread. Her dark eyes and dark hair reminded him of Sha're slightly making him think of the child his wife was carrying.
"Come on," Jonas said again.
"Sorry," Daniel murmured taking one more glance at the girl before focussing on his 'host'.
"I know how bad this looks," Jonas told him, "But it's worse on the planet. Ever since Apophis discovered the Naquadria then the bomb…it's a horrible place."
"Sorry," Daniel murmured again before frowning, "I guess I'm saying that a lot."
"This way," Jonas absently smiled at a few people scattered around before leading Daniel into a small office type room, "Take a seat."
Daniel dropped into one of the small seats and sighed.
"I can understand how this hard is for you," Jonas told him, "But you have to understand that I have other people to consider. Daniel, I'll do whatever I can to help you get home but you're not the first Earther that we've come across. And…"
"And you've not been able to get them home either," Daniel nodded, "I'll help and do whatever I can Jonas. Starting with these tablets."
Jonas smiled, "There's some other stuff you might be able to help us with. First go get some sleep."
Jack smiled as he saw Sara and Charlie appear through the doors along with everyone else coming off the plane.
"Dad!!!" Charlie called happily his face covered with hundreds of freckles.
"Hey," Jack caught his son in a hug, "How was your trip?"
"It would have been better if you'd been there," Charlie told him, "Uncle Andy taught me to surf."
"It would have been much more fun with you there," Sara joined them moving to kiss her husband hello.
"I'll bet," Jack replied with a grin.
"How's everything going?" Sara asked, "Andy said you mentioned something had happened when you called."
"It's nothing," Jack said his eyes however asking her to wait till Charlie wasn't there. They talked generally during the rest of the drive home, Charlie telling Jack about how good he was at surfing.
"Mom can I go see Eric?" Charlie asked the moment they pulled into the drive.
"You just got home," Jack said as he got out the car, "Am I not good enough for you?"
Charlie rolled his eyes, "But you want to talk to Mom alone anyway."
Jack laughed; his son was smart, "Be back in time for dinner."
Charlie grinned and bounced away.
Sara waited till they were inside before she turned to her husband, "What happened?"
Jack quickly told her what had happened over the past few days.
"Are there any thoughts on how to get him back?" Sara asked.
Jack shook his head, "Apophis controls the planet, it's too dangerous to go back. Sha're's spent all her time translating the text they found where he did the transfer thing."
Sara frowned, "Poor Sha're, I take it she's still at the base."
"Can't get her to move," Jack sighed, "Micki's already tried."
"I'll try," Sara told him, "I always had sway with her."
"She's really hurting Sara," Jack wrapped his arms around his wife's waist, "Take it easy on her."
"I will," Sara told him before wrapping her arms around his neck, "You know Charlie will be gone for a few hours."
Jack grinned back and kissed her.

"You wanted to see us General?" Micki asked as she and Teal'c entered the briefing room.
Hammond nodded, "SG7 discovered something within the ruins they were investigating on P4R 661. Take a look."
Micki glanced over the pictures aware that Teal'c was looking over her shoulder, "These are amazing," she whispered.
"SG7 requested a translator," Hammond told her.
"I'm guessing I'm going," Micki said, "Unless you're just being cruel and asking who to send."
Hammond laughed, "I'm sending Teal'c along with you as he should be able to help in translating as well as keeping you safe."
Micki didn't bother pointing out she'd been trained by Jack for this instead she nodded, "When do we leave?"
"One hour," Hammond smiled, "I'll see you then."
Micki grinned as she and Teal'c headed to get changed.

Sha're groaned before leaning back against the cool tiles of the toilet wall. She hated feeling like this and wished Janet could give her something to get rid of the sickness.
"Hey," Micki slid down to sit beside her, "You look a little worse for wear."
"This is horrible," Sha're rested her head against her friend's shoulder, "I should go back to work," she frowned noticing what Micki was wearing, "Where are you going?"
"SG7 found something," Micki told her; "Hammond's sending me and Teal'c to check it out."
"Bring me back some pictures," Sha're sighed pulling herself to a stand, "I'm going to see if Janet has any ideas for what I can eat."
Micki stood up to join her, "I have some time so I'll walk you."
As they moved through the corridor Sha're saw Kasuf appear and stopped dead. She hadn't spoken to him since Daniel had disappeared; her anger at losing Daniel had transferred to him.
"Micki, you are due in the Gateroom," Kasuf reminded her.
"I was just escorting your daughter to the infirmary," Micki told him with a slight smile, "I'm sure I can leave her in your capable hands."
Before Sha're could protest Micki was gone and Kasuf gently took her arm.
"Come on Sha're," Kasuf told her, "You are far too pale."
"I have been sick," Share told him sharply.
Her father smiled, "Your mother was like that when we had you. You should not be working yourself so hard."
"I need to try and see if there is a way to save my husband," Sha're reminded him.
"Not at the expense of your own health," he replied, "Or your child."
She sighed looking away from him.
Kasuf frowned, "Sha're, I know I was a little excessive in my…"
"Hatred towards my husband," Sha're finished angrily.
Kasuf sighed, "I am sorry child," he stopped them walking and took her hands slipping into Abydonian, "Do you have any idea how scared I was when you disappeared? Your mother was ill and I needed to know you were safe then suddenly you were nowhere to be found," Kasuf touched his hand to her cheek, "I know how brilliant you are Sha're, I know how independent and strong-willed you are. I'm married to your mother after all."
Sha're gave a soft smile, "I called."
"One call and it was to Jack's answering machine," Kasuf reminded her, "I played that tape so many times to make sure there was nothing in the background that meant you were in danger."
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
"Suddenly we receive a message from Jack to say he has found you and that you are married to a man we have never met," Kasuf continued, "I was worried that maybe you had been taken advantage of."
Sha're laughed, "If you had given him a chance you would have known that Dan'iel is the kindest, gentlest man I have ever met. He is incredibly brilliant yet he doesn't realise his uniqueness. He is truly a wonderful and modest man and I love him more than anything in the world."
Kasuf wiped away his daughter's tears as they flowed along her cheeks, "Once we find him he and I shall talk. If you are so fervent in your defence then he must truly be worth you."
Sha're hugged her father tightly, "I am so sorry father, it made me feel I had to go. I'm sorry I made you worry so much. I didn't mean to."
"I know," he soothed, "Now come, we shall get you to Janet."
"Jonas what is this?" Daniel asked as he came across an unusual room in the base.
"I have no idea," Jonas replied, "I haven't had the time to study it."
"There are some symbols here that are similar to the ones in the tomb I was in before I ended up here," Daniel mused, "It could be helpful."
"Have fun," Jonas shrugged, "It's not like we can do anything to help you."
Daniel smiled as the other man left before returning his attention to the strange device in front of him. It looked to him for all intents and purposes like a computer. The keyboard was laid out on the desk in front him, he wondered if behind the mud and dirt could be some sort of monitor or screen. At one corner a symbol caught his eye, the symbol he had been standing on when he was transported. Did he dare touch it again?
For a moment he was hit by a daydream of it surrounding him with light before returning him to Sha're who would jump into his arms making everything alright again.
A yell nearby brought him back to reality, he was still in the rebellion base where he knew he should be thankful to be alive.
"Okay," he murmured, "Let's see if I can find out what this does."

"Oh my God Teal'c," Micki was practically dancing in amazement, "Look at this."
"I can see," Teal'c replied.
"Is it me or does look like a computer?" Micki frowned.
Teal'c walked around the room before nodding, "It has that appearance."
"Let's get set up," Micki said, "We can film it, take some pictures, rubbings. Then check for any sort of radio waves or any sort of electrical field."
Teal'c nodded as they started sorting out the equipment. Many of the SG teams disliked being sent on 'babysitting' missions but Teal'c didn't mind it. Since he'd joined the Tauri he had become a part of the family that ran the SGC. He was extremely fond of all the Littlefield children both Tauri and Abydonian and made sure that anytime he was offworld with any of them he was in a position to protect them.
"Start taping the keyboard symbol," Micki told him handing him the camcorder.
"Of course Michelle," he replied blandly.
Micki stuck her tongue out at him, "Sorry, you know what you're doing."

It was almost an hour later and Micki was checking for electrical fields when she leaned on the machine hearing an ominous humming start.
"Oh crap," she muttered as she moved back.
"Observe," Teal'c nodded to the screen as an image started to flicker.
"Oh my God," Micki cried as the image cleared revealing, "Daniel?"
"Micki?" Daniel stared at her through the screen, "How…what?"
"Good question," Micki mused, "Are you okay?"
"I was rescued from Apophis by…" the image flickered and his voice crackled, "…in a base…Sha're…"
"Sha're's fine," Micki told him, "Repeat your location."
"…" Daniel looked frustrated as the image blinked out completely.
"Damn, damn, damn," Micki snapped angrily.
"Micki," Teal'c snapped stopping her rant, "We must try and regain the connection."
"How?" Micki sighed, "I have no idea how it happened in the first place."
Teal'c shook his head slightly to himself before looking at her waiting for it to hit her, it finally did.
"We need Sam."
