Sam's Thoughts

Elvish translations

Last chapter

She slowly went into the next room still trying to breath probably.

The rest of the team were in tunics and leggings.

"Hey why do you all get pants and I get the dress that doesn't allow you to breath?" she complained.

"Because in case you haven't noticed you're a woman and women wear dresses." Jack said, slowly as if she was a small child.

"Well women here must have learned not to breath."

"Let's get some sleep while we can." Jack said, ignoring the captain's comment.

The rest on the team nodded and they all went to bed.

Two hours after they went to bed there was a knock at the door

Teal'c being the only one awake got up and opened it to reveal a guard.

"The king has asked me to escort you to dinner."

Teal'c nodded and when over to wake up the others.

They all straighten their cloths and were then led to a large dinner hall. That had one large table down the middle and a group of people at one end.

The guard bowed and SG-1 walked towards the other end where all the people sat.

"Please come and sit. Then we can all start." Aragorn said gesturing towards 4 empty seats.

On the Kings right was dark haired woman who they assumed was the Queen. Next to her were a blond woman and man.  On the kings other side were four children. Teal'c and Jack sat on the same side as the children while Daniel and Jennifer sat next to the blond man.

"Before we start let me introduce everyone." He told everyone else the names of SG-1 then introduced the others. "This is my wife, Arwen, then the Lady Eowyn and her husband Faramir. Then on my other side, the hobbits, Samwise Gamgee and his wife Rosie, then Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck." He pause for a moment while everyone acknowledged each other with a nod or handshake. "Now lets eat before the Hobbits starve to death." Everyone who understood the joke laughed while SG-1 just looked at each other to see if any of them knew what was so funny.

Around them conversation broke out around them and the team just ate in silence unless they were asked a question. Although listening to the conversation around them.

"So when are Legolas and Sam arriving?" Samwise asked.

"They will be arriving in the next few days with Gimli. They have to move slowly because Sam in with child."

"Are they bringing their other little one with them?" Eowyn asked.

"Yes, you know that we would never stop the children from having time together. Eldarion loves to play with Lúthien."

"Yes, who knows you may have a match there." Rosie said.

"Does anyone know why they called her that I've never heard it before?" Arwen asked.

"Yes she knew a child called Cassandra before she was taken by the orcs and she wanted to name her child after her but Thranduil didn't agree so they gave her the elvish translation of it." Eowyn said.

"That elf really annoys me sometimes…"

"Sorry did you just say elf???" Daniel asked.

"Yes why?" Arwen inquired

"Aren't they just stories made up for children?"

"Of course not."

"Oh I remember we had this same argument with Sam in Lórien. She refused to believe that Legolas was an elf. Do you remember?" Aragorn asked the hobbits.

"Yes you told her that Legolas was an elvish prince and she said she was the queen of something. I can't remember for the life of me what though." Samwise said.

"No neither can I we'll have to ask her when she gets here. But anyway elves are real, Arwen here is an elf." Aragorn said.

"This is a strange thing to ask but in the stories that we have about elves they are said to be immortal is that true?" Daniel asked.

"Yes, that is true."

"Kool." Jack said.

Arwen went to ask Jennifer a question but then noticed that she was turning slightly blue.

"Are you alright." The queen stood up and walked around to the woman.

"I'm fine. It's just that I've never worn a dress with a corset before and I'm finding rather difficult to breathe."

"Alright come with me a moment and we'll sort you out." The queen led her out of the room and they returned a few minutes later with a normal coloured Hailey.

Dinner continued without any more problems and when everyone had said their goodnights SG-1 were led back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day they were all sitting in their room talking about what to do next.

"Well it seems that they want us to meet this princess so we will do that then return to base. Before Hammond starts sending search parties. If it is agreed to we will return to talk later." O'Neill said.

"Yes I would like to look around this place." Daniel said.

"Should we really wait for this princess shouldn't we just go?" Hailey asked her CO.

"I don't think that the King will allow it and he said it would only be a few days before she arrives. It'll be fine to wait."

"But sir…"

"I said we'll wait, Captain."

"Yes sir."

They sat in silence till giggling and small feet running could b heard outside.

Jack got up to see what was going on when a small child ran through the open door and hid behind his legs. Not long after older slower footsteps came up to hall.

"Lúthien. Lúthien. Come on hunny we have to go see the king it's rude other wise. Oh come on, Cassy, it's hard for nana to run after you. Please." Someone in the hallway called.

Jack picked up the child and walked to the door.

"Is this who your looking for?" he asked when he got to the door. The person in the hallway had long blonde hair with a circlet around her brow and she was in a loose fitting dress which showed underneath that she was heavily pregnant.

"Yes thank you, my lord. She's being so naughty after the long ride from Mirkwo…" the woman trial off as she looked at Jack for the first time.

"HOLY SHIT!!!" she exclaimed. Then realised her mistake and told her child never to repeat what she had just said.

"Are you Okay, ma'am would you like to sit down for a moment." He asked her. When she nodded still staring at him, he led her into the room and sat her down in the chair he had been sitting in.

The woman looked around the room at each of them, then stood up again and looked at Jack; she reached out and touched his face, then turned walked over to Daniel doing the same thing touching his face. Last she turned to but this time she stared into his eyes looking for something, then when she found what she was looking for she wrapped her arms around the usually unemotional Jaffa and broke down crying.

What surprised them more though was that Teal'c hugged her back without hesitation.

The little girl rolled her eyes and climbed onto Daniel's lap, took his glasses and placed them on her face as if it was a normal thing for her mother to cry.

"Oh I've missed you all so much." The woman said, when she calmed down again..

"As have I, MajorCarter." Teal'c said.
