Sha're stretched luxuriously in the King sized bed in the honeymoon suite as she tried to decide between whether to move yet and just staying in the comfortable cocoon she was in. She could hear Daniel moving around the bathroom getting ready to have his shower and smiled to herself as she held out her hand to admire her brand new rings. Never in her life would she have believed that she would be married especially after only knowing him for such a short time, just six months and being engaged for less than two hours.

Suddenly here she was now married.

Turning her head she glanced at the phone and she started feeling guilty about not calling her father, he should at least know she was safe and happy. Reaching out she picked up the phone and after working out where everyone would be she started to dial Jack's number sure there would be no one there.

"Hello?" Jack answered to her horror, "Hello?" Sha're froze as Jack got annoyed, "Hello?" he asked one last time before Sha're dropped the phone.

She couldn't talk to them, not now.

Hearing the water start to spray Sha're slipped out of the bed and stood in the doorway to the bathroom watching her new husband as he showered. There was a slight feeling of embarrassment at spying on him but then she thought about all they had done the night before, it was allowed.

"Since you're there you could hand me a towel," Daniel's teasing voice cut through her musing, "Or you could join me."

"We'll be late to meet Kate and Robert if I do," she tossed him a towel feeling a shiver down her spine at his suggestion, "And we promised to see them before they go on vacation."

Daniel pouted as he exited the shower the towel wrapped around his waist, "I suppose," he kissed her making her head spin a little, "We can spend the rest of the day alone."

"I love you," Sha're whispered, amazed by how just saying those three little words to him made her feel.

Daniel's bright blue eyes filled with an unspeakable joy at her words, he leaned closer to her his arms wrapping tightly around her smiling as he felt her fingers slide across his back, "I love you too."

Sha're sat desolately on the bed listening to Daniel as he had his shower, thinking back to their first day as a married couple less than a year ago. So much had happened since then, the most obvious being their unborn child who was kicking her at this very moment. It frightened her that he was stepping through the Stargate looking for weapons and it was more than likely the Goa'uld would be waiting for them.

Daniel entered the room wearing only a pair of pants drying off his hair; he stopped when he found her sitting looking despondent.

"I won't go if you don't want me to," Daniel sat beside her taking her hand, "You know that."

"We need you to go," Sha're reminded him softly not looking up at him, "You are the only one who can translate."

"What about what you need?" he asked, he turned her face so he could look into her dark eyes.

"I just need you to come home," she rested her head against his shoulder, fastening her arm around his waist.

Daniel pulled her close, "You know this time last year I was watching you when we were in Egypt. Thinking how much I wanted to slip my arms around you, how much I wanted to kiss you," he tilted her face up to his and planted a gentle kiss on her lips smiling at her when they parted, "And hey now I can."

Sha're turned into the crook of his neck pressing a few gentle kisses to him, "We need to get ready to go."

"Sha're…"

"You don't want to be late," Sha're whispered.

"When I get back," he told her, "I promise we'll celebrate our anniversary in style and we will be having a baby."

"You will be there for the birth?" Sha're asked him.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Daniel told her, "I will be at your side throughout the entire thing, I promise."

Sha're sniffed waving her hand, "It is just hormones making me like this."

"I know," Daniel whispered wrapping his arms around her pressing his hand to where their baby lay feeling the kick and smiling softly as Sha're placed her hand on his.


The Gate spun majestically each chevron locking in place. Jack looked round from his position at the bottom of the ramp to the Control room where his wife stood watching with Hammond, Kasuf and Najia; Sara gave him a nod and a quick wink making him smile. Looking back around the Gateroom he saw Sha're and Daniel standing, Sha're was hugging her husband tightly trying hard not to let anyone see she was starting to cry.

"Chevron Seven locked," Sergeant Davis sitting at his seat in the control room called, "Sending the MALP."

Everyone stood waiting as the MALP moved up the ramp and through the event horizon.

"MALP shows everything to be clear," Hammond told them, "You have a go."

"Daniel," Jack called, "Time to go."

Daniel nodded before kissing Sha're once more, "We'll be back before you know it. Take care of your Mommy," he told the baby making Sha're laugh.

"Go," she whispered.

Jack clapped Daniel's shoulder as they walked up the ramp together; turning back they saw Sha're joining the others in the Control Room. With a quick nod to them Jack walked through the Gate with Daniel.

Jack shuddered as the cold of the Stargate penetrated his body which passed quickly the moment he stepped out onto the planet.

"Who turned on the heating?" he gasped at the scorching dry heat.

"Doesn't seem that bad," Daniel smiled softly as Jack gave him a disgusted look.

"Teal'c, you Micki, Quinn and Carter," Jack ordered, "Daniel, Ferretti and Bailey with me. Keep your eyes open and keep in touch."

Jack squinted in the bright sun as he looked over to the ruins on the horizon as they started walking.

This heat was going to kill him.

Now that they had left through the Stargate Sha're walked slowly along the corridor her mother at her side. Although the scrolls had now been deciphered there was still a great deal of work to do.

"How do you feel?" Najia asked.

"I'm worried," Sha're gave a soft smile, "I do not like when Dan'iel is away," she paused frowning at her last sentence, "That sounds so pathetic."

"You're pregnant tisia," Najia smiled softly.

Sha're smiled, her mother had stopped calling her tisia, which meant little flower years ago.

"You are allowed to be needy and demanding," Najia continued squeezing her daughter's hand.

Sha're gave a half-smile, "I still feel pathetic."

Her mother squeezed her hand, "I'd prefer if you rested just now."

"Mamma," Sha're frowned, "I need to work. I need to be doing something otherwise I'll go crazy worrying about them all."

"I know," Najia agreed, "If you feel unwell or tired I want you to rest. Okay?"

"Mamma," Sha're protested before sighing at the pointed look she received, "I promise."

"I will come by and we can have lunch together," Najia told her when they reached the office.

"I'll see you then," Sha're smiled as she entered and went to work wondering how Daniel was.


Daniel walked in the direction the Jaffa shoved him wondering how this had happened. He and Walker had been ambushed while exploring the ruins, Jack and Ferretti had joined up with the rest of the team at the campsite, Daniel had asked for another half hour to go over some script he'd found. Walker had volunteered to stay with him and ten minutes later they'd both been grabbed.

"I feel like I've jumped back two years," Walker muttered to Daniel.

"Silence," the First Prime snapped, "You will speak only when spoken to."

Walker flicked his eyebrows at Daniel as they continued to follow in silence, Daniel watched their captors wondering where they were going.

This was bad.

Sha're shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Checking the clock she frowned, they weren't due to check in for about another few hours. Lunch with her mother had been annoying as Najia kept insisting that Sha're rest rather than work. Sha're reminded her she needed to work besides resting was impossible as the baby was kicking constantly. Now it was late and her child seemed to have settled for the night so she decided to try and sleep.

The small fan sitting on the desk had cooled the tent down from the oppressive heat the outside held. Sha're took a sip of her tea smiling as she heard Daniel's voice floating into their home.

She couldn't understand how just the sound of his voice sent shivers down her back but it still did.

"Hi," he grinned as he entered the tent stopping to quickly kiss her, "You look wonderful."

Suspicion filled her and she noticed a worried look on his face.

"What?" she demanded.

"Honey?" innocence filled his voice.

"Dan'iel," Sha're said sharply, "What have you done?"

"Okay, it was a few months ago I was asked if I would go to another site if the guy in charge had to leave," he explained sitting beside her, "I haven't heard anything since then but they just called and said they need us there as soon as possible."

"Us?"

"I said I'd only come if I could bring you," Daniel told her.

"And this was before I agreed to marry you?" Sha're asked archly.

"I wanted you to come along as my assistant," he defended himself; "You know I am completely unorganised without you."

Sha're laughed at his pathetic pout, "When do we leave?"

"In two days," Daniel hugged her, "I'm sorry about springing this on you."

Sha're kissed him, "We should pack."

x

Sha're frowned in confusion as Daniel stopped outside a hotel and exited the car, "Is this where we are being picked up?"

"Not exactly," Daniel grinned taking her hand helping her out of the jeep, "We're not needed at the new site for another few days."

"Then why did we leave so early?"

Daniel gently kissed her nose trailing a finger down her neck to her chest, "I thought we could spend some time here. Good food, drink and absolutely no need for clothes."

Sha're wrapped her arms around his neck, "That sounds like a lot of fun," she leaned forward and rubbed her nose against his, "The faster we get inside the quicker I can get you the way I want you."

Sha're sighed happily as she cuddled up to Daniel, their bodies wrapped around each other tangled up in the sheets.

"Sha're," Daniel murmured gently biting her ear.

She giggled, "Yes?"

"I know we've never exactly talked about this," he said, "But I wanted to know…"

Sha're moved to look into his eyes worried at his hesitation, "What's wrong?"

"Do you want kids?"

Sha're looked at him shocked as it was something she'd never thought of, especially since Daniel had never seemed paternal in any way.

"I don't know," she admitted her voice soft, "Maybe someday. Dan'iel we have only been married for five months."

"I know," Daniel bit his lip, "I just saw you looking at a baby earlier today. I started thinking how beautiful our baby would be. And I…"

"You want a family," Sha're whispered.

"Yes."

Sha're took his face in her hands, "I want to have your children. I want us to have a huge family. But I come from a large family and I like that it is just the two of us. We've only been together such a short time and to be honest Dan'iel it is just too soon."

Daniel hugged her tightly, "Someday then and I have to tell you that I am looking forward to it."

Sha're smiled before kissing him and pushing him back onto the bed with a mischievous grin.

Sha're opened her eyes reaching out for Daniel only to find she was alone. Turning to the other side she glanced at the clock. That was strange they were due to make contact how had she not heard the alarms?

Pulling herself off the bed Sha're started slowly along the corridor to find someone, she winced as the baby kicked hard.

"Please settle down," she sighed rubbing her bump softly as she entered her mother's office, "Mamma?"

"Sha're," Najia looked up from her work, "I thought you were resting."

"I was," Sha're said softly, "Have they checked in?"

Najia shook her head, "But they are not that late."

"How late are they?" Sha're asked softly.

"Not very…"

"How late?" she demanded sharply.

Najia sighed, "Almost three hours."

"What?" Sha're cried in horror, "Jack is never that late unless…unless…unless…"

"Sha're, you need to calm down," Najia caught her arm moving her to a chair; "They will be fine."

"But they are so late," Sha're whispered, pain shot through her again and she winced, "Mamma, I am so scared."

Najia gently brushed her daughter's hair soothingly, "I know tisia, I am worried as well. Come and we shall get something to eat. By the time we are finished they will have called."

Sha're nodded and started towards the door, she gave a cry as sharp pain shot through her.

"Mamma," she cried in worry.

Najia gently stroked her daughter's face to calm her, "Your waters just broke. The baby is coming."

"No, no, no, no," Sha're cried, "Dan'iel is meant to be here. This is not the way it is supposed to be."

"Babies do not go by our schedule," Najia laughed softly, "We have to go to the infirmary."

Shaking Sha're nodded, they walked slowly along the corridor Sha're gripping her mother's hand tightly.

"Mamma," she whispered when they reached the infirmary, "I'm afraid."

Najia held her daughter tightly, "I know tisia, but I will be here with you."

Jack motioned them deeper into the caves worrying about the two missing members of his team. The Jaffa had appeared without warning and Walker and Daniel had disappeared about the same time.

"Colonel," Jonas called, "We've found it."

Jack turned and joined Micki, Sam and Jonas in front of a wall which had what looked like a plaque with script all over it.

"Can you open it?" Jack asked.

Micki shrugged, "We'll try. Daniel would probably get it much faster."

"Well he isn't here," Jack told her, "So start working."

"Yes sir," Micki nodded and she and Jonas started working immediately.

"Do you think Dr Jackson and Lieutenant Bailey are still alive?" Sam asked softly.

"Honestly," Jack murmured, "I think they are. It's probably Apophis or one of his underlings who have them and they'll want to keep them alive so old Snaky can get a hold of what's in the box."

"I hope you're right sir," Sam sighed.

"So do I," Jack murmured softly as she joined the other, "So do I."

Daniel and Walker were pushed through a door.

"Nice décor," Daniel murmured looking around the throne room.

"I am so glad you approve," a resonant voice came from behind them.

They both spun as the Goa'uld entered the room making them both stare in horror. It was Daniel who finally found his voice first.

"Skaara?"
