Sha're sat reading on the couch as a musical played on in the background. It was about three months since Abydos had been destroyed and she was finally managing to move on. It helped that her father and brother had visited her to tell her that they were fine and to go on with her life.
She was wondering why Jack wasn't home yet, he rarely stayed so late at the base returning to the house and making sure she was alright. Whenever SG1 returned from a mission when she was at the base Jack would come by her office and talk to her.
"Sha're," his voice preceded Jack running in, "Come on."
"What is wrong Jack?" Sha're asked confused at his strange look.
"We found him," Jack cried joyfully, "Sha're we found him."
Sha're looked at him confused, "Found who?" she asked before it struck her, "Dan'iel?"
Jack nodded finding Sha're clutching his arms.
"It is really Dan'iel?" she cried desperately afraid this would be snatched from her, "And he is alright?"
"Ahh…" Jack hesitated.
"What are you not telling me?" Sha're demanded.
"Daniel doesn't actually remember anything," Jack confessed, "Who he is, who we are…"
"Who I am," Sha're sighed.
"He might know you," Jack shrugged, "He saw your picture and said he knew you."
"I want to see him," Sha're told Jack, "Now, please Jack."
Jack smiled and hugged her tightly, "I know, come on let's go."
"I am here Dan'iel."
Daniel stared at the woman standing in the doorway. She was different from the picture, her hair was now straight curled only at the ends pulled back from her face while a few wisps strayed onto her face, instead of the desert robes she was wearing trainers, a pair of denims and a large red sweatshirt but her voice and her smile were the same as the dream. Daniel stood up and drank in her beauty as she smiled at him.
"Dan'iel," Sha're moved to him as he stood staring at her, she reached out nervously and touched his cheek, "You are real."
Daniel nodded caught in her eyes resting his hand on hers, Sha're smiled taking his hand.
"Goodnight Teal'c," Sha're said as she led Daniel out.

Daniel walked through the corridors feeling Sha're's hand in his as she led him back to the small room he had been given.
"I did not believe Jack until I saw you," Sha're whispered.
"Why weren't you here earlier," Daniel asked before flushing, "I didn't mean it like that."
Sha're smiled, "I was studying where I stay. Jack came to pick me up and told me the news."
Daniel frowned at her phrasing before forgetting it as they arrived at the room, he let go of her hand and allowed her to enter first.
"I'm glad you're here," he told her, "You're the first proper memory to come back to me."
Taking a seat in the bed Sha're caught his hand so he'd sit with her, "What do you remember?"
"Only your name," Daniel told her before looking slightly embarrassed, "And a kiss."
Sha're smiled as she realised he didn't know they were married and couldn't resist teasing him.
"A kiss?" she asked innocently, "Between us?"
Panic hit him; they weren't involved like he'd dreamt. Maybe it was what he wanted but she didn't. So why would he have a picture of her?
Sha're laughed before she touched her lips to his instigating a slow deep passionate kiss.
"Was it like that?" Sha're asked huskily when they parted.
"That…that was much better," Daniel replied slightly breathless, "Then we are…"
"Married," Sha're grinned at his stunned look.
"But why would I…if we're…" he trailed off.
"Dan'iel," Sha're took his hands, "Many things have kept us apart for a long time but finally I have you back and I am not letting you go. Now," she continued, "You have had a long day and need to rest," taking his glasses from him she smiled, "Do you want me to go?"
"No," he replied quickly, "Please stay with me."
Sha're pulled back the covers and once he was in settled beside him snuggling up to him, "Now sleep my love," Sha're murmured stroking his cheek, "Sleep."

He lay staring at the ceiling while listening to her gentle breathing as she lay beside him. Daniel turned and watched her sleeping; she was so incredibly beautiful and looked pure and innocent in her slumber. Very slowly, being careful not to wake her he slipped out of the bed drawing the cover up around her. He moved to the small toilet closing the door and flicking on the light wincing at the harsh brightness before looking at his reflection in the mirror.
The name he'd been given when he first woke up never felt right, he had never been comfortable using it but it was all he had. Now though these people who had appeared suddenly into his world had given him his real name, an identity and someone who seemed to love him. He opened the door slightly letting the small crack of light out so he could watch her. She was sleeping comfortably, her long black hair draped along her back like a silken sheet. He could just make out her face and was not for the first time struck by her beauty, by how attracted to her he was, she was an angel.
Turning back to the mirror Daniel tried to find something, some sort of memory of the other people here but nothing was forthcoming. People in the corridors who'd passed him looked familiar for a split second but then it would pass.
"Dan'iel?" Sha're asked from the door making him wonder how long he'd been staring in the mirror, "Is something wrong?"
"I couldn't get to sleep," he turned to her; she looked tired and mussed but still lovely.
Sha're moved closer to him and gently touched his arm, "We can talk some if you cannot sleep."
Daniel nodded and allowed her to lead him back into the room, Sha're sat cross-legged on the bed and waited for him to join her. Daniel leaned back against the pillows stretching his legs out in front of him.
"Now," Sha're said, "What is wrong?"
"Nothing," he answered quickly.
Sha're frowned at him, "You have never been able to lie to me. Something is bothering you, let me help."
Daniel sighed, "For the past few months I've lived knowing nothing of myself hoping that one day someone would appear and tell me my real name. I thought if I knew that then everything would come flooding back.
"But it did not," Sha're sympathised.
"No," he sighed again taking her hand, "I know everything you've told me is true, though I'm pretty sure Jim...Jack's been teasing me a lot."
Sha're smiled, "He has missed you a great deal and is trying to make up for it."
"Then there's you," Daniel swallowed hard, "Don't get me wrong Sha're, I do care for you but I don't remember being married."
Sha're gave a soft sigh that he misinterpreted.
"It's not that I don't want to be with you," Daniel said quickly, "I mean you are incredibly beautiful, kind, sweet and every time you smile at me I don't see anything but you. I do love you, it's just that I feel like alone is more familiar."
Sha're took a deep breath and suddenly moved into his lap straddling him taking his face in her hands, "There is something very important I must tell you."
Daniel nodded not sure how well he'd be able to concentrate as all the blood was rushing from his brain.
"We married many years ago," Sha're explained, very aware of what her presence was doing to her husband, "And for one year our lives were perfect. Then the Goa'uld destroyed it."
"How?" Daniel could see deep pain and sorrow in her eyes.
Sha're swallowed hard, "Apophis came to Abydos looking for hosts."
"Abydos?"
"Our home," she explained, "We lived on my world."
"Okay," he said, "So what happened?"
"I was taken and although you came for me it was too late," Sha're explained as Daniel felt dread build in him, "I became the host to Ammonet."
"You're here now," Daniel whispered.
"Yes," Sha're gently stroked his cheek, "But I was a host for several years," a few tears filled her eyes, "The last time I saw you the demon within me was trying to kill you. Teal'c was forced to fire upon me to save your life."
Daniel's eyes hardened, "Teal'c killed you?"
"He saved you," she stressed.
"Then how did you get here?" Daniel asked confused.
"Last year my brother Skaara found me on Abydos. I do not recall how I got there," she lied, he couldn't lie to her but she was able to lie to him easily, "He helped me return to health and made me go and see my father who then called Jack."
"Who brought you here," Daniel finished.
"Yes," she nodded, "Where I could be with the friends of my husband."
"And you stayed?"
"I could feel you here," tears started to slip along her cheeks; "I was never alone as I could feel your influence here so clearly."
Daniel pulled her into a tight embrace as her tears fell, "Please don't cry," he whispered rocking her, "I hate when you cry."
Sha're pulled back from him, "I should not cry anymore. You are here."
Daniel took her face in his hands gently wiping her tears away with his thumbs before he leaned closer to her and gently brushed his lips to hers. As they parted Sha're smiled before kissing him again deepening it with the passion she held for him. Daniel slipped his arms around her waist and flipped her onto her back continuing to kiss her. Finally they parted and Sha're smiled up at him, "Try and sleep now Dan'iel."
Daniel lay beside her and closed his eyes this time sleep coming easily.
Daniel frowned as Sha're told him she had to go to a meeting and he had to stay in the room for the moment.
"Didn't I use to do this?" he argued, "Maybe it will help me remember."
"Dan'iel," she stroked his cheek softly, "You are still tired and more than a little overwhelmed from all that has happened, am I correct?"
He tried to avoid her eyes but somehow couldn't, "Yes."
"Then just concentrate on returning to Earth and trying to remember your life," Sha're leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on his lips smiling as he responded.
He frowned as she left the room, she was right he was still spinning over everything that had happened yesterday. Was it only yesterday? It felt like much, much longer. Waking up that morning to find Sha're still sleeping beside him was something he looked forward to doing again and again. She led him down to the showers where they met up with Jack who took over as tour guide until they had freshened up.
He remembered the shiver that slid along his spine as she whispered into his ear, "We can shower together soon."
It was at that moment he realised his…wife? that was strange to think, he realised Sha're had a very mischievous streak and she loved teasing him.
As he sat in the room he frowned, he had to go to this meeting he knew it.

Daniel saw Sha're frown at him as he walked down the stairs to join the members of SG1 and basically force his way into joining the meeting. As he took his seat he felt Sha're gently brush her hand against his knee before squeezing it and giving him a dark look. Jack noticed this and managed to stop himself laughing out loud at the look on Daniel's face before he was drawn back into the meeting.
"I only did it because you said we could whup his ass with what we find in this lost city," Jack snapped as Daniel revealed they were in the wrong place.
"If I said that…" Daniel trailed off as he saw Sha're's eyes cloud.
"What?" Daniel asked, "What am I missing?"
"Anubis destroyed Abydos with the weapon," Jack said softly, "All the people ascended like you."
Daniel swallowed hard as he saw Sha're leave, "I let this happen. I destroyed my wife's home and family."
"No Daniel," Sam said comfortingly, "You tried to stop Anubis but you were stopped by the other ascended."
"Excuse me," Daniel rushed after Sha're.

He found her in the room he'd been given crying and Daniel stood at the door closing it but not moving unsure how she'd react to him.
"Please stop hovering," Sha're whispered as she moved to sit against the headboard.
"I didn't know if you'd want me here," Daniel sighed, "I don't…"
Sha're reached out her hand to him, "Please come and sit with me."
Taking the seat beside her Daniel couldn't help but smile as she moved into his arms holding onto him tightly.
"I love you Dan'iel," she whispered to him, "I just miss my Father and Skaara a great deal."
"Was it my fault?" Daniel asked, "I don't remember, I don't remember anything."
"You remember me?" Sha're asked moving to look into his eyes.
Daniel couldn't stop himself from smiling, "I do remember you and how much I love you."
"Then focus on that my love," Sha're kissed him, "Your other memories will return."
Daniel closed his eyes and held onto her, feeling amazed at how lucky he was to have her in his life.
"Absolutely not," Sha're snapped as they explained their plan.
"Sha're?" Hammond frowned, "You have something to say."
"You are not seriously suggesting Dan'iel go on this mission when he barely remembers his own life?" she said angrily.
"Sha're, he is the only one who will be able to read the Ancient language Anubis uses," Jack reminded her.
"Jonas can read it," she reminded them.
"Not well enough to do this," Jonas told her wincing at the dark look she shot him.
"We need Daniel for this," Sam added.
"He has just come back to us," Sha're cried, "You are sending him out into the path of Anubis, he who murdered every other member of my family."
"Sha're," Daniel finally spoke up, "I have to do this. Please understand."
Without another word Sha're stood up and marched out of the room.
"She does that a lot," Daniel noted.
"Your wife has a hell of a stubborn streak," Jack grinned, "You ain't seen nothing yet."
"I apologise General," Daniel turned to Hammond, "You should continue."
As he listened to the briefing Daniel started to wonder if maybe Sha're was right about him not doing this but he couldn't not do this.

Sha're sat silently in the back seat of the car as Jack drove her and Daniel to his house, Daniel was taking in the beauty of the world. Tomorrow they were heading on their mission to take out Anubis's super weapon.
Once they entered the house Sha're disappeared to get changed as Jack ordered them some food as Daniel sat in the living room feeling very comfortable in this place.
"I know you don't want me to do this," Daniel murmured as Sha're took the seat beside him resting against him, "But I feel like I have to."
Sha're dropped her head before looking up to him, "I just found you again. I do not think I could lose you again."
"I'll be fine," Daniel promised resting his forehead against hers, "I have you here to come back to."
Sha're gently kissed him relaxing in his arms.
"Knock that off you two," Jack called as he came in with the pizzas, "You have all night and you can wait till I've eaten."
Daniel laughed before looking at the food with a wrinkled nose, "I eat this?"
"Yes," Jack laughed as well, "Try it, you'll like it I promise."

Daniel stood staring out the window in Sha're's room, which Jack told him he had always used. The view felt familiar but still nothing felt right. He smiled as he felt Sha're slide her arms around his waist.
"I love you Dan'iel," she whispered in his ear, "And I am worried about you."
Daniel turned to face her, "Why would you love me?" he asked, "What did I do to deserve you?"
Sha're just leaned up and kissed him, she had been looking forward to getting him out of the base and away from the video cameras. As they kissed Sha're started to pull off his shirt letting her fingers move across his chest.
"Sha're," Daniel murmured as they stumbled across the floor falling onto the bed.
In his room Jack frowned pulling the pillow over his ears to block out the noise, they had to get a place of their own fast.

Sha're stood at the bottom of the ramp watching the Gate dial feeling Daniel beside her but she couldn't look up at him.
"I'll be back," Daniel whispered to her, "I promise."
"If you let anything happen to you," Sha're took his shoulders and looked directly into his eyes, "I will never talk to you again."
Daniel couldn't help but smile at her and leaned down to gently kiss her, "I'll be careful. And I won't be alone; Jonas will be there to watch my back."
Sha're slipped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly trying to hold onto every detail of her husband's presence.
"Time to go," Jack interrupted them.
Sha're stepped back allowing Daniel to start up the ramp, she felt Janet join her as she watched them leave.
"Don't worry Sha're," Janet murmured, "He may not remember everything about his life but he remembers enough. He'll come back to you."
Sha're nodded to Janet but couldn't move her eyes from the Gate until it shut down.
He'd just come home, she couldn't lose him again.
