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

Yeah I got this bit done quickly but don't hold your breath, the next part may take longer.

jnp-Don't worry, Walker won't be a stereotypical jealous ex, I like to do things differently as much as I can.

Sha're stood at one side of the gym just out of the sight of the man she was watching. Daniel was doing Tai Chi to relax and she loved watching him. His movements were filled with the gentle grace she saw in him no matter what he was doing. She knew very well, even if no one else seemed to realise, how strong Daniel was. His tendency to wear loose fitting clothes hid this from everyone but her.

"Hey," Skaara came up beside her watching Daniel, "Where'd he learn to do that?"

"Dan'iel has always been interested in learning about different cultures," Sha're explained, "When he was young one of his foster parent's showed him how martial arts held a great deal of certain cultures beliefs. It was an attempt to teach him self-defence but it worked and he enjoys doing it."

"I never would have guessed it," Skaara said.

"Dan'iel is full of surprises," Sha're pointed out with a sly smile making her brother laugh.

"It's good to see you so happy," he told her sincerely, "Before you disappeared you weren't exactly ecstatic about being here."

Sha're sighed, "I know. I guess I felt trapped slightly, maybe the drug just pushed me into doing something I'd been contemplating anyway."

"Oh Micki was looking for you," Skaara finally remembered why he'd come over to talk to her.

"Is she in her office?"

Skaara nodded managing not to laugh at how Sha're took one last long look at her husband before she left. Shaking his head Skaara went into the gym to start his own workout.

Daniel saw Sha're leave from the corner of his eye, he didn't mind her watching him. The first time he'd been a little embarrassed but Sha're then made him teach her how to do it which inevitably ended in something that was not part of the exercise but just as fun he remembered with a grin.

He gave Skaara a quick nod as his brother-in-law arrived returning to his exercise frowning as a shadow blocked his light.

"Hello Walker," Daniel said standing up to face the man who was staring at him.

"I can understand why you never mentioned you were married to my girl," Walker stated, "But I want to know how you got her to marry you after six months, I want to know exactly what you did to her."

"Excuse me?" Daniel asked.

"I know Sha're and I know she'd never do anything like this," Walker continued, "If you took advantage of her while she was under the influence of a drug then you'll regret it."

Daniel stood with his arms crossed not blinking until Walker stopped speaking.

"If you're finished," Daniel said blandly, "Then you can listen to me. I have no idea why she agreed to marry me but she did and I love her more than anything in this universe. Sha're is my wife and I don't need anyone telling me how to treat her. If you know her as well as you think then you should know how angry she'll be that you took it upon yourself to have a little talk with me."

"I'm just looking out for my girl," Walker told him.

"She's not your girl," Daniel replied sharply, "And it's not your concern."

With that Daniel headed to get changed.

"That might have been a mistake," Skaara told Daniel as he caught up with him.

"Why?" Daniel snapped, "Because he's a member of the 'family'?"

"No," Skaara suddenly realised how hard this was for Daniel, they were a very tight knit group and considering he had no idea about Sha're's family before now, learning to join them had to be hard, "Walker has a temper and a pretty bad one at that."

Daniel's eyes darkened slightly, "He didn't…"

"Can you see her standing for something like that?" Skaara asked pre-empting his question, "Walker was too afraid of the rest of us to ever lose it around her. But if you ever have to count on him off world, I'd watch my back."

Daniel sighed, "Wonderful."

"I guess this must suck for you," Skaara sympathised, "You gave up your life to come here."

"I'm not mourning no longer being in charge of the dig," Daniel laughed, "But I'm pretty much a stranger here and I don't think I'm exactly popular since I turned up married to your sister."

"We're just in shock," Skaara assured him, "You see Sha're has always been against marriage, she saw it as servitude so for her to return after a year away married was…well astonishing."

"I can understand," Daniel smiled, "But I think everyone needs to get used to the fact we're married and I'm staying."

"Give them time," Skaara told him, "But I'm pretty sure once the baby is born you'll be one of us. Until then my view is you make my sister happy, you're not too bad."

Daniel laughed, "I'll see you later."

Sha're was returning to Micki's office with some refreshments for both them and Jonas as they continued to work on the device they'd used to bring Daniel back to her as well as the scrolls Apophis had. As she neared a corner she heard two of the Airmen talking about Walker confronting Daniel in the gym. She stayed still listening to the details of the exchange anger filling her. She marched back to Micki's office dropped the tray and left again before Micki could even utter her name.

"How dare you," Sha're snapped at Walker her eyes blazing as she found him near the infirmary.

"What?" Walker asked innocently.

"You have no right to tell Dan'iel how to treat me," Sha're's voice rose even higher, "What do you think you were doing?"

"Looking out for you," Walker told her, "Sha're you knew this guy for six months…"

Sha're threw her hands in the air with a cry of frustration, "I am not going through this again. I have not been taken advantage of, nothing untoward happened between us. I love him. Dan'iel proposed to me and I was the one who decided we should marry that same night."

"I guess I'm just a little jealous cause I know if Apophis hadn't grabbed me we'd be married," Walker sighed.

Sha're grimaced, she hadn't wanted this to happen, "No Walker, we wouldn't," she felt the guilt gnawing at her, "I care about you Walker but I didn't love you not like that. I know you bought a ring and I wish I'd made you realise this back then. I wouldn't have married you."

Walker nodded before turning and leaving her standing.

Jonas looked at what he'd drawn and frowned, "There's something wrong but I can't pinpoint it."

"Take your time," Micki told him from across the office, "There's no pointing rushing this and getting it wrong. Take a break."

Jonas nodded and sighed, "That sounds like a great idea."

"Come on," Micki told him, "Let's go for a walk."

Jonas smiled and walked with her to the top of the mountain, "This is so incredible. Kelowna used to be like this, outside the city the rolling green fields and amazing mountains until Apophis came."

Micki touched his arm bringing him out of his sad reminiscing, "I like to come here to think when I can't get a solution."

"I'm not surprised," Jonas laughed, "My sister would have loved this, she died before Apophis came," he told her before she asked, "What about you? Any siblings?"

Micki laughed at his change of topic, "I have two older brothers. Eddie works at Area 51 where all the artefacts we bring back through the Gate go to be studied and Ron is Air Force but he's currently on long term assignment off-world at the Beta site."

"The Beta site?"

"Our second base," Micki explained, "So if anything happens we have a place to evacuate our best and brightest to."

"So you're the baby of the family?" Jonas asked.

"Yeah," Micki grinned, "Though I'm older than Sha're and Skaara who are my cousins, kind of."

Jonas smiled back, I know my people are due to leave soon but I want to stay and help. I want to stop Apophis and here I will be able to help do that."

"I'll speak to the General for you," Micki told him, "I think you'll probably end up liking it here."

"Don't even think about it," Daniel said as Sha're moved to pick up a box.

It was exactly a month since they'd arrived at the SGC and they were moving into their own house. All the furniture had been put in the day before so it was just books, keepsakes and everything of Daniel's that had been in storage since he went on the dig.

"I am perfectly capable of carrying a box filled with stuffed toys," Sha're told him, "What am I meant to do if I can't move things?"

Daniel caught her chin and kissed her, "Co-ordinate."

He took the box and headed into the house as Sara joined Sha're.

"He's driving me insane," Sha're muttered.

Sara laughed, "He's just taking care of you. It's sweet."

Sha're rolled her eyes not bothering to answer, her pregnancy was now showing and most of her clothes didn't fit her which was annoying her no end.

"Sha're wait," Daniel called as she was about to enter their new home.

"What?" she turned on him frustrated.

"I've just been wanting to do this," he pulled her to him and lifted her, Sha're gave a squeal of laughter as Daniel carried her into the house, "You almost ruined it."

Sha're laughed and kissed him, "You are so strange sometimes."

"Knock it off." Skaara yelled from behind a box, "And tell me where I'm going."

With Sha're's family, Jack, Sara and Jonas helping they were finally moved in completely and just had to unpack all the boxes. Sha're stood in the entrance to what was going to be the nursery trying to think what it would be like in a few months with their baby there. Daniel's savings had provided them with more than enough money to buy the perfect house. It had the usual lounge, dining room and kitchen but it also had four bedrooms plus a study they could both use as well as a front and back garden. Sha're had loved it from the moment she'd seen it.

"Hey," Daniel slipped his arms around her waist resting his hands on the bump that had become more prominent over the past few days.

Sha're leaned back against him, "This is amazing, we have our own home."

"I know," Daniel gently kissed her cheek, "Come on I've made dinner."

"Dan'iel?" she fixed an amused look on him.

"Okay, I ordered dinner," he admitted, "But it's here so let's go eat."

"Dan'iel," Sha're held his hand making him turn to her, "You don't regret this do you? Coming here?"

"Well let's see," Daniel said, "You're happy to be with your family, I'm working where my theories have been proven, there is more out past the Stargate than I ever dreamed, I'm no longer in charge of giggling college students, I'm with you and we're having a baby.," he turned her to look deep into her dark brown eyes, "I don't regret it."

Daniel groaned slightly as he stretched, since it was possible he would be sent on missions Jack had decided to start training him so he could keep up with whatever team he was put on.

"Are you a little sore my love," Sha're laughed in his ear.

"I'm so glad you find this funny," he grimaced at her.

Micki laughed from the other side of the office, "You should have seen us when Jack first started our training."

"That bad?" Daniel asked.

Sha're shrugged, "I'm just glad I'm not able to be tortured by him anymore."

Daniel leaned over and kissed her rapidly expanding stomach, "Thanks for the warning," he returned to his work and grimaced, "Sha're, could you look at this for me?"

She smiled and looked over the translation of what Jonas had remembered so far of the scrolls, "This looks wrong."

"That's what I thought," Daniel groaned, "Either Jonas has made a major mistake or there's something we're missing."

"Well," Micki told them, "Once Jonas returns from seeing the rest of the Kelownans you can get him to check it out."

Sha're turned to her friend with a sly smile, "So he's due back soon?"

"Tomorrow morning," Micki replied without thinking.

"What time exactly?" Sha're asked.

"About eleven," Micki said before frowning as she saw them both giving her amused looks, "Stop it."

"You like him," Sha're laughed, "It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"I'm not…" Micki grimaced at her, "Sha're…leave me alone."

The couple laughed at her.

"It'll be nice to see you settled," Sha're said, "You have always been…wild."

"Wild?" Daniel asked.

"Compared to little miss innocent here," Micki rolled her eyes, "Okay, he's a nice guy and he's completely different to any guy I've ever dated."

"He's from another planet," Daniel pointed out, "I think that sums it up."

"So am I," Sha're reminded her husband.

"Okay," Daniel said, "Back to work."

They all looked up as the alarms sounded, "Incoming traveller."

"There's no one off-world at the moment," Sha're noted before fear clouded her eyes, "Other than…"

"SG3 with…" Micki continued.

"Skaara," Sha're cried in horror as she started towards the Gateroom Daniel and Micki at her side.

They reached the Gateroom at the same time as Najia, Kasuf and Hammond while Jack was in the control room with Sam. The Iris spun open and after a few seconds three figures stumbled out.

"Major Dean," Hammond said to the leader, "What happened?"

The man had to take in a few deep breaths before he stood to attention, "We were ambushed by Jaffa about five miles from the Gate. Skaara took our six and we were able to retreat to the Gate but," he paused looking at Kasuf and Najia before glancing at Sha're who was holding onto Daniel, "Skaara pushed me away from the DHD as the Jaffa fired at me. He was killed by the shot and we were unable to get his body back through with us."

"No!!!" Najia cried as Kasuf held her tightly.

"He saved my life sir," Dean said to Kasuf, "And I will always be in his debt for that."

Kasuf nodded as he moved his wife from the Gateroom. Hammond turned to the remaining members of SG3 and motioned them to the infirmary.

Sha're stood shaking her eyes wide with disbelief, "It can't be," she whispered to Daniel, "Please tell me this is a bad dream Dan'iel."

"I'm sorry honey," he whispered pulling her close to him rocking her as she cried, "I'm so sorry."

Daniel gave Hammond a quick nod before he moved Sha're from the room as she grieved for her brother.
