Chapter 2
Andrea dreams. Her memories stir deep. Past and present mingle. Terrors and horrors fill her mind. Her heart screams in agony. She pushes past it into the dream.
A muscular man looks at her, his eyes dark. They flash gold. "My Queen, something disturbs you."
She feels herself speak. Anger courses though her veins. "They no longer fear us! It is Nergal."
The man turns away in anger. He turns back rage on his face. "I shall speak with RA!"
Keket sneers. "RA! Do you believe he will side with us?"
"RA will listen. Go my love prepare for my enjoyment." His face is truly evil.
Keket nods, knowing he will be rough with her host. "As you wish."
Andrea wakes in a cold sweat. Fear and weakness overwhelm her. She reaches into the end table and pulls out an Asgard device. She injects the Naquidah into her blood. She quickly puts the device back.
Daniel sits in his lab with Martouf. He picks a book up, and moves toward his computer. Martouf watches him intently. "Have you found something?"
Daniel nods and begins typing. "Yes, according to some texts it appears that he was feared more than he was worshipped."
Martouf looks slightly lost. "That is the way with many out cast Goa'uld. According to what you say, he would have been thrown out by RA."
Daniel looks up from the computer. "You've been spending too much time with Jacob."
Martouf smiles, his eyes light with humor. "Indeed, it was the reason the High Council insisted I accompany Selmac on this mission."
Andrea walks in and looks straight at Daniel. "Any progress?" She steps into the room and smiles at Martouf.
Daniel nods, and points to the book on his lap. "I think so. Did you just wake up?"
Andrea's head moves up and down slightly. "Yes, I'd rather stay away from Jack and Colonel Maybourne."
Daniel chuckles. "Hey, at least Jack isn't threatening to shoot him anymore."
Andrea sighs. "That just takes the fun out of it. So Martouf, you want to stay with us tonight? I assume Jacob is going home with Sam, and Maybourne will stay with Jack."
Martouf and Daniel turn to her in surprise. "I would love to see your world and home. I have learned much from all of you. To see it would be wondrous." His expression is full of delight.
Andrea grins. "Good, everyone will come over for dinner and I'll make my cookies."
Daniel's mouth begins to salivate. He looks at his watch. "We should leave early; I can do this from home."
Andrea shakes her head. "Then we should leave now."
Daniel groans. "In a minute."
Martouf grins. "These cookies must be something."
Andrea swaggers back to the door. "You have no Idea." She leaves the room.
Janet walks down the hall spots Andrea and calls out. "Andrea!" She jogs up to Andrea.
Andrea winces. She turns around to face the doctor. Her face is red. "Hi Janet!" She forces a smile.
Janet frowns. She notices Andrea's cheeks are flushed. "Are you feeling alright?" She reaches up and touches Andrea's cheek.
Andrea pulls away quickly. "I'm fine."
Janet frowns. "Did you get any rest today?"
"Some, it's been a busy day. Did you get briefed?" Andrea backs a safe distance away from the doctor.
"Yes, I'm going to take your place. I'll be posing as Colonel Maybourne's date." She studies Andrea with her physician's eye.
"Alright, I think we're all meeting at the house to talk about everything." Andrea backs up another step.
"I think you should go home and rest, not entertain." Janet pauses. "That is after you have your blood taken." She walks over and grabs Andrea's arm. Andrea groans, her posture sinks as the doctor drags her in the direction of the infirmary.
"Do I have to?" She whines. A passing SF laughs.
Janet glares at the SF. "Yes, you have to."
Maybourne looks at the African American doctor. "Is this really necessary?" He glares at O'Neill, who is standing in the corner talking to Jacob Carter.
The doctor shakes his head. He pulls away and steps back. "I'm done."
Janet walks in dragging Ambassador Jackson. She smiles at Dr. Biggs. She motions to a bed. "Sit and don't move." She motions Biggs. "A word?"
Biggs looks at Maybourne. "I'll be right Back."
Andrea shoots O'Neill a save me look. "Yes mother...." She says in Fraiser's direction. Fraiser walks out of the room with Biggs.
Maybourne looks at Andrea. "What did you do?"
Andrea flushes a deeper red. O'Neill and Jacob start walking over. She turns to Maybourne. "I didn't do a thing. Daniel got me pregnant."
Jack laughs. "I'm sure you had something to do with it! Why did she corner you?" He looks her up and down.
"I was supposed to get my blood taken this morning at 900 hours. I over slept." Andrea's blush recedes.
Jacob smiles. "Hoping she would forget?"
Andrea grins. "I was. Jack you have to get takeout. I'm not cooking dinner for everyone." She looks up at him slightly tired.
"Not a problem, got any cash?" Jack asks looking down at her.
Andrea nods. "You know I'm loaded."
Janet walks back over carrying a case with blood taking equipment in it. "Alight, Colonel would you might holding her?"
Jack looks at Andrea. "No, the question is does she mind?"
Andrea laughs. "I'd rather it not be necessary." Her tone is slightly grating.
Jacob laughs. Selmac speaks. "It's only for your health and that of the child."
Andrea and Jack both roll their eyes. Maybourne laughs. Janet pulls out a large needle. Jack wavers. "You're not using that are you?"
Andrea slaps Jack's arm. "It's not for you! It's for me!"
Jacob chuckles. "Not afraid of a goa'uld, but you're afraid of that?"
O'Neill scowls. Janet prepares Andrea's arm. "I have bigger needles than this one, Colonel."
Andrea pales. She grips O'Neill's arm tightly. "Don't threaten me please."
"Very funny, are you sure you're feeling alright?" Janet puts the needle in Andrea's arm.
She nods and looks over. "I'm fine. Healthy as a horse." She sees the blood and falls toward Jack. "Or Not." She mumbles into his shirt.
Jack holds her up. He pats her on the back. "Doc, how much blood are you taking?"
Janet laughs. "Very little." She turns to Jacob. "I've been screening her blood. I'd like you and Selmac to have a look."
Jacob looks in Andrea's direction with concern. "Alright." Jacob looks at Andi. "Can't handle the sight of blood anymore?" Andrea mumbles incoherently into O'Neill's shirt.
Maybourne looks at Jack. "How come you get to touch her?"
He rubs her back, friendly. "Because if she fell on the floor, Danny would have my head." Jack grins.
Janet finishes. "She should lie down." She writes on the vial and turns to Jacob. "Would you like to do this now?"
Jacob nods. "Now, we're only coming back in the morning for gear."
Andrea lies back with Jacks help. "How long to I have to wait here?" Jack grins. She scowls at him.
Janet looks at Andrea, her face serious. "I want you to have some Jell-O. Then you can go home." She looks at Jacob.
Jacob turns to Jack. "I'll catch you at Danny's right?"
"Yep. I'll bring Maybourne here." He grins, and then looks at Harry telling him to keep his mouth closed. Jacob nods and leaves following the doctor.
Andrea looks up at Jack. "Can you please get me some Jell-O?" She gives him the most pathetic look she can come up with.
Maybourne's heart almost breaks at her look. "I'll stay with her. Obviously there is nothing wrong with me."
Jack doesn't like that idea. "Why don't you wait for the corpsman to bring it?"
"Because Daniel is getting ready to leave now, we came in one car. And I have to get home to make cookies." Andrea gives him a pleading look.
"Alright!" He looks at Maybourne. "If anything happens to her, I'll shoot you then turn you over to Danny."
Maybourne grins. "Nothing's going to happen, Jack."
"Right and pigs fly." Jack mutters walking out of the infirmary.
Andrea laughs. Maybourne looks at her. "So, when is the baby due?"
"Four months give or take." Andrea gives a short answer.
Maybourne nods. "So where are you from? And what are you Ambassador to?"
"Virginia and I am the Asgard Ambassador." Andrea looks at him.
"You're from earth and you represent us to the Asgard? Wow when did this happen?" Maybourne looks shocked.
"A few months ago, but I represent the Asgard." Andrea answer, correcting him. She enjoys his shocked expression.
Andrea sits at the breakfast bar next to Martouf, who is wearing a pair of Daniel's jeans and a T-shirt. Daniel stands at the sink looking at her. "What do you need?"
"A vat and enough of the ingredients." Andrea says off handily, flipping through the cookie book.
Martouf looks at Andrea. "Why do you need something so large for so few people?"
Daniel snickers. Andrea glares at him to stop. "Because, if Teal'c had his way, he would eat all the cookies he can get his hands on."
"He'd have to incapacitate me and Jack first which, if I might say is quite easy for him to do." Daniel grins, looking at Martouf. He is telling the truth, jokingly.
Andrea looks at Martouf's worried face. "It's okay; if he did I would get very moody. At that point I would just take all the cookies and save them for myself." She looks very serious.
Daniel raises his eyebrow. "Which pot?" He looks up at the pot rack above his head.
Andrea looks up. She points to the large 10 quart pot. "That one."
Martouf's eyes widen at the size of the pot. "This must be some treat to use such a container."
"It is." Daniel says, putting the pot on the burner. "Do we have enough Oatmeal?"
"Yes, check for yourself." Andrea says smiling at her husband. "Do you want me to do it?"
"No, Janet wants you off your feet." Daniel says, turning from pantry to look at her.
"Alright, you need peanut butter, vanilla, cocoa, milk, butter, and sugar." Andrea reads off the list. Daniel nods pulling the items from the pantry and fridge.
Maybourne notices the Jaffa's attention go straight to the house as they get out of the car. Teal'c seems acutely aware of the smell coming from inside. Harry notices it too. Chocolate, the sweet smell he hasn't had in almost two whole years. "What is that smell?"
Jack and Teal'c both turn to Maybourne as they walk to the open front door. "Cookies!" The two say with a smile and a smirk. Jack nods and looks at Teal'c. "I forgot the beer. Could you go get it?"
Teal'c raises his eyebrow and frowns. "Perhaps it would be wiser if you retrieved your beverages O'Neill."
Jack looks at Maybourne and then Teal'c. "Harry, make sure he doesn't eat any cookies until I get inside." He jogs back to his car.
Maybourne looks at O'Neill. "What is it about these cookies?"
Teal'c looks at Harry and tilts his head. "They are quite appetizing."
Sam steps up on Daniel's back porch to see Maybourne holding a beer, and eating a no bake cookie. She has bags of food in her hands. Jacob stands next to her, and Janet behind, both are carrying more food. "Hey! Where did you get that! Nobody touches Andrea's cookies until everyone arrives."
Harry looks at her, guilty as sin. Jack opens the back door. "HARRY! Do you have a problem with stealing other people's food?"
Harry turns to say something, but the cookie is stuffed in his mouth. He just shrugs. Sam and Jacob move up on to the porch, followed by Janet, who is frowning. "She better not have made those!!"
Jack walks over to the Doctor, and then relieves her of some food. "Nah, she directed. Daniel did the actual work." He turns to Carter. "Just don't ask him to hold a P-90 in the next two weeks."
Jacob grins and looks at Jack. "You can keep him, when we're done. The colony he was living with doesn't want him anymore."
Janet opens the door and walks into the house. Sam follows shaking her head. Jack looks at Jacob and then Maybourne. "WHAT!"
Maybourne looks at Jack embarrassed. "What can I say?" He speaks, with part of the cookie still in his mouth.
Barrett looks at the cookies on the counter. Alex immediately picks one up and bites into it. "These are delicious. Try one."
Barrett shakes his head. "No thanks, I don't like chocolate."
Daniel walks up the stairs to hear the statement. "You don't like chocolate?" He sounds quite perplexed. "Even Aliens like chocolate. Something must be wrong with you."
Alex nods stuffing another cookie in his mouth. Sam comes in from the living room to hear Daniel's statement. Seeing Fletcher's mouth stuffed, she turns to Barrett. "Now you know why I won't go on date with you."
Jack comes up the stairs behind Daniel. "Go on a date with who?"
Andrea sets her plate down on the coffee table. She sits between Jacob and Martouf. The motion sets of a memory she can't control. She is in a gilded hall, sitting a rectangular marble table. She recognizes three faces, RA, Hathor and Kek. Hathor stands behind RA, looking rather angry. A goa'uld she's never seen before slaps his hand down hard on the table. He sits across from and Asian face. A name comes to mind. YU and Anubis. This is a summit, something is happening. Anubis speaks. "I will not allow this any longer. Nergal Must die!"
YU looks at Anubis. "He is no different that YOU!"
RA stands up. "Silence! Osiris, see that Nergal is taken care of." He pulls away from the chair and leaves.
Jacob notices Andrea frozen position first. He touches her arm. "Andrea?'
Everyone in the room turns there attention on to Andrea in the moment. Her eyes are a deep blue. Martouf speaks lightly to her. "What is it that you see?"
Andrea shivers slightly. Shaking her head she looks instantly to Daniel for reassurance. His gaze is loving. She smiles. "A room full of dead system Lords, Well except for two."
Jack looks at Andrea. "Which two aren't dead?" He figures he will know who the others are by the two that are alive.
"Osiris and Anubis." Andrea answers, looking at Jacob.
Jacob's eyes flash. Selmac speaks. "That was long ago. Nergal, like Osiris and Hathor will want to know the state of the System Lords. He will not be please to here that Ba'al is among them."
Martouf nods, he agrees with Selmac. "We cannot allow Nergal to be drawn to the Stargate. Once he has a massed an army that is where he will go."
"Just peachy, better tell Hammond that in the morning." Jack says, loosing his appetite.
