A small yawn escaped Sarah Jackson's lips as she closed her book and gathered her things. Sure enough the fasten seat belt sign flickered off and the flight attendant came over the intercom announcing their arrival. She had boarded the plane earlier that day at LAX. It had been a rather short flight, just long enough to get some reading in. She threw on her light jean jacket over her polo tee shirt and jeans before slipping her book back into her duffle bag. She then slung the bag over her shoulder, picking up her purse and filing out of the airplane slowly.

Once off the plane she quickly walked through the airport, quite excited. Taking the time to stop in the restroom before hurrying on, she thought of how long it had been since she had seen Daniel in person. It had actually been close to 10 years. He'd been so busy with his projects here that he hadn't had the time to come see them, though despite short silence from him, he'd sent her family many letters over the past. Passing security, her eyes began to search for him, sweeping over the crowd.

An anxious Daniel stood towards the front of the crowd, watching all the people coming in from flights for Sarah. His blue eyes lit up as he saw her walk out from the terminals. He quickly raised a hand to wave as he quickly called her name. As she approached he really realized just how long it had been since he had last saw her. She was so much more mature and taller, of course that was to be expected after almost 10 years.

"Hey Sarah." He said embracing her in a hug, "How was your flight?" he asked, smiling.

"It was fine. Gave me a chance to get some reading in."

"I can't believe how much older you look."

"Well I'm not 9 anymore Daniel." She said chuckling.

"I guess you're right. Why don't we go get your things?" He said turning to walk towards baggage claim. She quickly followed him, chatting about this and that. Her bags came off fairly quickly and they began to head out to the car, currently talking about one of her college professors. As they got into Daniel's car, he prepared to change the subject. He only hoped this would go smoothly.

"There are a couple things I need to explain before we get there." Daniel said, taking a deep breath. He'd only tell her the basics now. He'd leave what he'd been through in the past for later. He didn't want to tell her too much at once.

Sarah looked away from the scenery and towards him. "Yes?" She said interested.

"Well…Where to start?" He said to himself, "Let me just say that I've not been doing what you think I have for the past 9, almost 10 years. I've actually been working at a military base on a device called a Stargate…" he went on to tell her about Abydos and how he'd come back to form Sg-1 because of the Goa'uld. Once finished, adding a bit about Jack, Sam, and Teal'c and how the Stargate worked, he took a deep breath and waited for her to say something, praying she wouldn't be too upset with him.

"That's…unbelievable." She said, not knowing what else to say. His words hadn't really sunk in yet, though she still got the fact that she was going to have to learn about what Daniel had been doing lately all over, except this time it would actually be true. It was like she'd never known him.

"There's so much more you need to know, but I'll save that until you're settled in. Right now, we're here." He said as they pulled up to the front of the mountain base. Sarah gazed around in awe as Daniel flashed his security card, driving towards the parking lot. After he had parked, Sarah got out of the car and started heading towards the base entrance, wondering what more she would learn about her "uncle's" activity over the past 9 years and if she would take it better or worse than she was taking this small amount of information.

A/N: I know. It's not my best, but I wanted to get something up for you guys. 4th chapter coming soon.
