Chapter 2: Secrets Revealed
When Daniel got home from his day of work at the SGC, he saw the woman who he had thought about every day for the past two months, sitting on the front steps of his house in Colorado Springs. She stood up as he got out of the car, "Daniel, hi, how are you?"
"Fine," he answered, she was trying to look happy, when obviously something was very wrong, "What's the matter?"
"I wanted to tell you first, before anyone else found out, I'm pregnant." He looked at her dumbfounded.
"You're…Pr.r.reggnant? How is that possible, you said that you were on the pill!" It looked like Daniel's eyes were bugging out of his head.
"I know I was just as shocked as you were, believe me, I had no intention of getting pregnant, but now that it's happened I want to go through with it, I am not expecting you to, I just thought that since it's yours you should have the choice. And there's more."
"What, your having twins?" He said half joking.
"No, it's just one, a little girl."
"How would you know the sex of the child yet, its only been what, two months," He asked as he led her into the living room, not wanting to have this conversation in the front yard.
"I know because of the 'more.' It is too early to tell, but I know for two reasons. One, other than my sister, no one in my family has had a boy in over 300 years, and second, because I had a vision of myself with her in the future."
"Stop babbling, spit it out.."
" I'm a witch," she said, and the skeptical look in his eyes hurt her, and she tried to explain, "Along with my two sisters, and we have magical powers, as will our daughter. She will be a witch too." She paused waiting for his reaction. Finding out he was going to be a father was a big enough weight dropped on him in one day, but she knew that she had to tell him everything for him to fully understand her, and why even with this, she had to stay in San Francisco.
"A Witch, what do you mean a witch?" Daniel said, obviously even with all of his experiences with the Gu'auld, ascended beings, and such, this was something that was completely new to him. "I have dealt with a lot of being who pretend to be something their not, how do I know that you are not one of them."
"To be honest, I can't really show you my powers, like I told you I have premonitions, it's a passive power. Maybe I can show you a spell?" He didn't really react, but having him believe her was very important. She went into the kitchen, and saw as she would expect in any single man's place, a sink full of dirty dishes,
"Let
the object of objection
become but a dream,
As I cause the
seen
to be unseen"
When Daniel saw the dirty dishes disappear, and then reappear clean on the counter his mouth dropped, and he desided to give this 'witch' business a chance, "A Witch, so you can do dishes magically? What exactly are witches."
"Well, witches are mortals gifted with powers that aid them in the fight against evil. My sisters and I have been fighting them for almost a decade now."
"I know the feeling," Daniel said under his breath. After sitting there for a few minutes Daniel let out, "So, I'm going to be a father?" There was hope in his eyes. He was taking this much better than they had ever expected.
"Yes," she said, allowing him to process all of this information.
"You know, we have more in common than we thought. My work for the last 9 years has been classified. I will have to get you clearance to tell you more. So what do you do as a witch?" Daniel said, trying to change the subject to a lighter mood.
At that question, Phoebe's anxiety dissolved and through making dinner, eating it, and cleaning up, Phoebe was able to explain everything that was involved as the father of a magical child. A girl, according to the woman beside him who had foreseen the future, and had stolen his heart.
