Chapter 3: Revealing Premonitions
She had fallen asleep in his arms. Despite everything, she hadn't felt this safe with a man since Cole had been human. This was a man, as far as she knew he was completely human in a non-magical world, and yet he has seemed to completely accept her and her special abilities. She leaned over to brush his hair out of his eyes, when she was flashed a premonition of Daniel. He was standing in front of what looked like a metal circle filled with water, but it was vertical, beside him was a middle aged, but physically fit white male, a Black man with a weird gold tattoo on his forehead and a woman who looked a little older than her, about mid thirties.
She woke from her premonition with a start, accidentally grabbing Daniel's face. He woke from this accident, and looked at her, "What, what?"
"I had a premonition… It was about you, actually."
"Really, what did you see?" Daniel asked, nervously.
"A big circle of shinning water, and three other people, two men: one white, one black, and a woman, walking towards it. It looked like some sort of artificial portal." She looked at him waiting to explain. Phoebe could tell from the expression on his face that he knew what she was talking about.
"It is called a Stargate," Daniel explained, "the people you saw are the members of SG-1, the top member of Stargate Command. We travel through the gate to visit other planets. That is why I felt that I had to stay in Colorado Springs, the gate is inside the military complex. It is the front line, and I help with language translation with people that we meet. That is where I met my late-wife, on a planet called Abadoes."
"Wow, I mean, we have way more in common than we even imagined. Both of our lives revolve around secrets. It's just, wow, that was a lot of information in one breath."
"There's more," he continued, "My late-wife was killed by an alien race called the Gu'auld. They are snake like parasites who take humans as hosts. That is who we have been fighting ever since we first went through the Stargate."
Phoebe didn't even flinch. "So, this demon, it what, took over other planets? I am sorry, but I know the demon that you are talking about. They can inhabit any body made of flesh, be it human, demon, or warlock. They are no longer on earth because they were banished three thousand years ago!"
"That wasn't written in any book that ever referenced the Gu'auld." He said in a humorous tone. This whole topic about the Stargate was just a way for him to avoid the truly important topic. More important than Magic, or the Stargate Program. Their child. "So what are we going to do?" He said with his hand on her stomach, and she knew what he was talking about.
"Well, I have to stay in San Francisco. I have to stay close to my sisters. If word got out in the demon community that not only were the charmed ones living apart, but that the lone witch with no active powers was pregnant! It would be like skyriting over us saying 'attack now! Vulnerable witch here for the taking!'" She said with a humorous quirk.
They talked about the child. "We had about 7 months till it came, but with a magical pregnancy and there was always variables. Just ask Piper. When she was pregnant with Wyatt not only did she have morning sickness, but she was burping orbs!"
"What do you mean, 'burping orbs.'"
"My brother-in-law was a whiteligher, kind of like guardian angel for witches, they transport from one spot to another in white/blue light. I'll explain everything later, I promise, but for now, what we are going to do. I am not going to force you to marry me if you don't want me to, I'll have plenty of help with my sisters and my dad…"
"I want to marry you," Daniel blurted out, "I was going for wait to the right moment to propose, some place romantic, I don't know. I just didn't want to propose because you're pregnant, but because I want to propose."
Phoebe's eyes teared up. "Oh, Daniel, I would love to marry you."
