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

I'm working on the next part, hope you enjoy.


Skaara looked up as he saw his sister enter the briefing room, the man who'd brought through a whole load of refugees at her side, her hand holding his tightly.

"Dan'iel," Sha're said with a smile turning to her companion as they reached Skaara, "This is my brother Skaara, Skaara this is Dan'iel, my husband."

"Nice to meet you," Daniel reached out to shake Skaara's hand a slight worry in his eyes that Skaara would refuse the gesture.

"You too," Skaara quickly shook the other man's hand with a grin, "We didn't really get a chance to meet on the planet."

"Guess not," Daniel smiled.

"Okay everyone," Hammond said as he walked in everyone trooping in with him, "Let's get this over with quickly."

Sha're pulled Daniel to sit down beside her as everyone took their seats.

"Dr Jackson welcome back," Hammond told him shortly, "Firstly, Mr Quinn the leader of the refugees has given us several pieces of information on Apophis and his movements."

"That's good," Jack noted, "Dr Fraiser is caring for those from Kelowna that are seriously ill or injured and we've put the rest up in temporary quarters in the base."

"We're considering options for where we can send them," Skaara said, "Sam, Micki and I are working out a list. It should be ready soon."

"Excellent," Hammond nodded waiting for the next bit of business.

"What about the device?" Najia asked.

"I studied it quite extensively," Daniel spoke up making all the heads at the table turn to him, "I think it'll take a little time but I should get it."

"Good," Hammond smiled, "Dismissed."

Skaara watched his sister sitting with the man she was married to as everyone left their seats. He'd never really been a fan of Walker's. Walker had a tendency to try control Sha're and Skaara had first hand knowledge that she didn't like being told what to do. He felt a small smile touch his lips as he watched Sha're murmur something into her husband's ear making Daniel laugh.

"Whatever you want," Daniel told her.

Skaara smiled; he decided he was going to like Daniel.

"So," Daniel said as he and Sha're walked away from the briefing room, "What now?"

"We go home for the evening," Sha're told him.

"It's kinda hard to get back to Egypt," he said.

"No Dan'iel," Sha're laughed, "My parents' home where I grew up."

Daniel frowned, "Sha're, we could always go to a hotel."

"Dan'iel," Sha're looked at him imploring, "I want to spend some time with them. Please."

She placed a gentle kiss on the side of his mouth making him smile, "Okay. If that's what you want."

Sha're smiled and took his hand leading him to the car park.


Daniel smiled as he woke up, he could feel his wife's arm resting around his waist as she snuggled up to him, her face buried against the hair on back of his neck. He found it hard to believe that less than twenty-four hours ago he thought he'd never be in her arms again but now he was back on Earth and reassured she loved him.

A sharp knocking made him groan and he felt Sha're jabbing him in the ribs to find out who was at the door. With an annoyed sigh Daniel pulled himself out of bed pulling on his pants and opened the door poking his head out.

"Good morning Dan'iel," Najia smiled at him, "Hurry up or neither of you eat."

"Sure," Daniel mumbled closing the door and leaning back against it, "We need a place of our own."

"Come back to bed," Sha're murmured.

"Your mother said we don't eat," Daniel told her.

"I'll make us something," Sha're sighed as she reached out to him. The knocking started again and she groaned, "Alright, we're coming."

Daniel couldn't help but smile as they both dressed quickly, he'd been a little reluctant when Sha're had told him they were staying with her parents now he knew she'd agree with him to get a place of their own. Sha're took his hand and led him out into the dining room where Najia, Kasuf and Skaara were already sitting.

"Good morning," Najia grinned as they both took a seat, "George called, you don't have to be in the base for the next few days."

Sha're smiled, "Good."

"Here," Najia placed a plate in front of Daniel piled with food, "Eat."

Skaara grinned at Daniel as he continued to eat his own breakfast both looked over hearing a disgusted sound to see Sha're's face pale.

"Sha're?" Daniel asked softly just before she bolted for the bathroom.

He quickly left his in-laws and found his wife being sick, he knelt beside her and held her hair back.

Sha're gave him a disgusted look, "This is all your fault."

Daniel laughed, "I think you might have had a part to play too."

Sha're leaned against him smiling as he wrapped his arms around her, "I know you don't like having to stay here."

"It was one night," Daniel told her, "And I just feel awkward having your parents in the next room when I'm trying to get romantic."

Sha're laughed, "We don't have to go back to the base for a few days. We could have a look for someplace to live."

"That might take more than a few days," Daniel reminded her.

Sha're shook her head a small smile touching her lips, "Not if you have connections."

"Sara, could you get the door?" Jack yelled from up the ladder trying to fix Charlie's light.

"No Jack I was waiting for you to get it after you break your neck," Sara yelled back sarcastically smiling as she opened the door to the young couple, "Sha're."

Sha're smiled hugging the older woman before she pulled Daniel forward, "Sara this is my husband Dan'iel."

"Nice to finally meet you," Sara said with a smile, "Come on in you two."

"Who is it?" Jack appeared, "Sha're, Daniel what brings you two here?"

"We were hoping you could help us find an apartment," Sha're told him.

"Sick of the in-laws already?" Jack laughed making Daniel grin sheepishly.

"Sha're!!!!" the cry came before the boy hurtled towards her.

"Hello Charlie," Sha're hugged the boy, "I'd like you to meet Daniel."

"He your boyfriend?" Charlie asked.

"No, he is my husband," Sha're replied ruffling the boy's hair.

Charlie gave Daniel a quick look up and down before he held out his hand, "I'm Charlie."

"Nice to meet you Charlie," Daniel shook the boy's hand.

Charlie grinned, "He's okay," he told Sha're who laughed and gave the boy a gentle kiss on the top of his head.

"Go and play," she told him.

"So," Jack said with a grin smacking his hands together, "We're going house-hunting. Saddle up kiddies."

Daniel glanced at Sha're, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"It seemed to be at the time."


Jonas sat on the bed in the room he was staying in going over the places that would be able to take the Kelownians who had escaped from Apophis. A knock on the door interrupted his musing.

"Come in," he called.

"Hi," the woman who entered smiled at him, she had shoulder length dark brown hair and bright blue eyes, "I'm Dr Micki Littlefield."

"Micki?" he couldn't stop himself from asking feeling stupid that he had.

"It's short for Michelle," she laughed, "Do you mind if I come in?"

"Of course not," he grabbed the papers off the spare chair so she could sit, "What can I do for you?"

Micki took the offered seat and smiled, "I was hoping you could give me some information on the scrolls Apophis wanted Daniel to translate?"

"I don't know much about them," Jonas admitted, "They are rumoured to hold the location and instructions on how to use some very powerful weapons."

"Which Apophis needs badly," Micki mused, "Considering the damage we've done him over the years. He's not high in the ranks of the System Lords anymore and finding these would tip the balance back in his favour."

Jonas pursed his lips in thought, "I have seen them," he told her, "I should be able to recreate them."

"Really?" Micki asked slightly suspicious.

"I have a photographic memory," Jonas explained, "At least I think that's what Walker called it."

Micki smiled, "That would be helpful."

"I was hoping to see some of my people," Jonas told her, "I need to make sure everyone is alright."

Micki nodded, "That shouldn't be so difficult, I'll see if I can arrange it with the General."

"Thank you Dr Littlefield," Jonas said as she stood.

"It's Micki," she smiled before she disappeared.

"If he can recreate the scrolls," Micki said as she sat across from Hammond, "It may give us an insight into what Apophis is up to not to mention we could get the weapons before him."

"Do you think you can translate them?" Hammond asked intrigued.

"I'm doubting I could," Micki admitted, "But we just recently got a member of staff with the exact abilities we need who Apophis believed could translate them."

"Dr Jackson," Hammond smiled, "It's a good plan Micki."

She grinned, "I'll get some paper and pencils so he can start as soon as possible. Before that however, Jonas has requested to see others from his planet to make sure they're okay."

"Only if he escorted at all times," Hammond told her, "I'm sure you can handle the arrangements for that."

"Of course sir," Micki flashed a smile before leaving making Hammond smile also.

"This should be interesting," he murmured to the empty room, "Or a disaster waiting to happen."

"How did you end up in charge?" Micki asked as she and Jonas walked slowly towards the infirmary.

Jonas shrugged, "I was the only member of the Government who survived that we know of."

"You were a Government Official?" Micki asked with a slight laugh.

"Scientist," he laughed as well, "But it gave them a sense that someone was in control."

"I'm guessing you didn't feel like that," Micki said sympathetically.

"I learned," Jonas told her softly just as they reached the room the most severely injured Kelownians resided.

Micki stood back allowing him to go and talk privately to his fellow refugees.

"Hey," a voice beside her brought her out of her musings.

"Walker," Micki smiled as they exchanged a quick hug, "I was so relieved to hear you were alive."

Walker grinned, "Thanks to Jonas. He saved my life."

"Looks like he's owed by a whole lot of people on this base," Micki said softly.

"So," Walker tried to sound casual, "How much do you know about this Daniel Jackson?"

Micki grimaced inwardly, "I was wondering how long this would take."

"So?"

"To be honest I only really know the details of his background through research," Micki told him, "We just met him. Sha're disappeared for a year and about a week…"

"What do you mean disappeared?" Walker demanded.

Micki groaned wondering how she'd ended up explaining everything to Sha're's ex, "Last year while she was on a dig with Najia, Sam and Charlie they were attacked. Najia was hurt but they were also hit by a drug. This made Sha're believe Najia was dead and want to leave everything behind."

"Then what?" Walker's voice was intense taking in every detail of the story.

Micki sighed, "As far as we know she got a job as an assistant on a dig in Egypt where they met, he was in charge of the dig. That's pretty much it."

"They've been married what? A month?"

"Actually six months," Micki could feel the yell before it came.

"SIX MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I have to get back to work," she told him, "Good to see you Walker."

Sha're found Daniel sitting watching the people walking along the darkened street from the window.

"Is something troubling you my husband?" Sha're asked sliding her arms around his, realising suddenly she had slipped into the Abydonian mode of addressing him which she'd never done before.

"I'm just thinking how strange everything that has happened over the past week has been," Daniel told her, "Now I've had a chance to process it."

"I can understand," Sha're rested her chin on his shoulder, "My family are a little overwhelming when we are together and your little adventure must have added to the confusion and stress."

"Adventure?" Daniel laughed, pulling her round and into his lap, "That's one way to put it," he sighed resting his head against hers, "I was so afraid I'd never see you again and I'd never get to see our baby."

"I feared that too," Sha're whispered placing his hand on her stomach, "When you disappeared I felt a sharp pain and I thought I was losing the baby."

"What?" Daniel demanded horrified, "You should be…"

"I'm fine," Sha're assured him cutting him off with a kiss, "Janet said it was just shock. I promise, I'm fine, the baby is fine and you're safe."

Daniel smiled, "Now all we need is to find a place of our own."

"Near my parents," Sha're reminded him before laughing at his expression, "But not too near."

"And big enough for you, me, junior and," Daniel grinned, "The rest of the babies."

"The way I have felt so far because of this baby," Sha're told him flatly, "You are never doing this to me again."

"I love you," Daniel laughed.

"I should hope so," Sha're replied wrapping her arms around him, "My family wouldn't be happy otherwise."

As Daniel leaned in to kiss her they were interrupted by the door opening, "Speaking of family."

Sha're frowned, she knew it wasn't that Daniel disliked her family but he didn't like the constant interruptions that came with living in the same house as them. She knew Daniel had lived by himself since he was sixteen, learning to live with her had been a challenge but it was something they'd worked out quickly. This however was more than likely a problem they wouldn't resolve so easily unless they moved out.

Sha're lay staring at the ceiling as Daniel slept beside her. She loved that he could sleep anywhere, something she couldn't do. It took her at least one sleepless night before she could sleep somewhere new.

Turning on her side she watched him in his sleep, his long hair falling across his face which she gently brushed back smiling as he murmured her name. She had to admit it felt very strange sleeping in what had been the guest room with her husband as opposed to her old room and it suddenly hit her full force. She was married, she was having a child of her own, she no longer belonged in this house as the girl she once was.

A few tears welled up in her eyes and she moved closer to Daniel to feel the comfort his presence always gave her. Jack had found a few places for them and they were going to look at them tomorrow. She couldn't believe how strange this felt but she was excited about owning her own home. Placing her hand on her stomach she felt the very slight swell that indicted her baby she lay back down properly and fell asleep dreaming about her baby, a baby with dark hair and deep blue eyes.
