Author's Notes: Thanks to Stonedtoad for betaing.
Yes it's back. It will more than likely take quite a while for me to finish this as I'm still watching Season Eight. The first part is from the episode Heroes but I thought there would have taken a while for the Wells to recover so I pushed it to after The Lost City.
Enjoy
Daniel stood nervously outside the house relieved that Sha're had agreed to accompany him, as the door opened he held up the teddy he'd brought glad to see Wells smile.
"Hey come in," the young man hobbled back from the door allowing them inside, "Daniel, Sha're this is my wife Marcy," he introduced.
"Hi," Marcy smiled as she sat on the couch her baby resting in her arms, "I'd love to give you a hug but…"
Daniel laughed as she trailed off taking the seat offered as Sha're perched beside him.
Wells motioned to the baby, "This is my daughter."
"She is beautiful," Daniel smiled as Sha're agreed gazing at the tiny baby whose blue eyes were wide.
"Thanks," Marcy beamed.
"I guess the ultrasound was wrong," Daniel gave a half shrug.
Marcy laughed, "Yeah."
"What's her name?" Daniel asked.
Wells took a breath, "Janet."
Sha're gripped Daniel's hand tightly and Daniel looked at the baby before smiling again, "That's nice."
"Could I hold her?" Sha're asked softly.
Marcy smiled, "Of course."
Very gently Sha're lifted the tiny bundle into her arms and took the seat Daniel quickly vacated for her. Daniel gazed at his wife as she softly whispered to the baby girl resting happily in her arms. He knew Sha're had always wanted children, they'd tried hard during their year together but only heartache came from it. Sha're had always been wonderful with any of the children on Abydos, whenever they had watched friends children Sha're was both caring and nurturing yet could discipline when necessary. She looked up from the baby and their eyes met, Daniel gave her a soft smile before he turned to speak to Wells some more.

Later that night Daniel trailed his fingers across Sha're's arms as she lay staring at the bedside cabinet lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" he asked, softly kissing her shoulder.
"Nothing," Sha're sighed still staring into space.
"You know I don't believe you," Daniel whispered turning her to him, "I know today brought up some memories…"
"I never held my son Dan'iel," she cut him off her voice barely above a whisper; "I was not able to be a mother to him. I am glad he is safe with my father and Skaara but…"
"But," he encouraged her as she trailed off.
"I still want a child," she told him longing in her voice.
Daniel kissed her, "We can always try again."
"No," Sha're shook her head catching his hand as hurt filled his eyes, "Dan'iel, we are not ready just now."
"I guess not," he sighed, "But are we heading that way?"
Sha're smiled and kissed him, "Yes my love we are."
Daniel slid his arms around her and pulled her close, "You know, we may not be ready for a child," he softly kissed her, "But that doesn't mean we can't practice making one."
Sha're let out a soft giggle as his mouth descended on hers in a serious kiss.

Sha're lay wide awake her head resting against Daniel's back her arm draped over his waist. She'd been having trouble sleeping over the past few nights and had spent most of them either reading on the couch or just laying beside Daniel.
She slid away from her lover being careful not to wake him, why should he lose out on his sleep because she had insomnia she thought. Softly padding to the kitchen Sha're poured herself a glass of water considering some things that had been going through her mind for the past few days.
It wasn't that she wasn't grateful to Sam for allowing her to stay in her spare room after Jack's…Jack saving the world but as time had moved on Sha're became convinced that it was time to take that step to become Daniel's wife properly again.
Quickly downing the water Sha're smiled to herself at the decision she'd made before returning to bed. Daniel had turned in his sleep, his hand resting where she had been making her smile. Lifting his arm she slid under drawing the covers back over her. She'd tell him tomorrow once he returned from his meeting, cuddling close to her husband Sha're smiled managing to fall asleep finally.
"You're wrong," Sha're stated flatly.
Doctor Warner sighed, it wasn't he didn't like Sha're but whenever she didn't agree with something she was extremely vocal in her opinion, "I'm afraid I'm not Sha're. I've done the test twice."
Sha're closed her eyes dropping her head back against the pillows and sighing, "Why did this have to happen now?"
Warner gently patted her shoulder, "If you want I'll check again."
"Please," Sha're whispered.
She watched as he left the room to repeat the test, this couldn't be right. She hated that every time her life seemed to be settling down something would send it spiralling out of control.
When Warner returned Sha're looked up at him hopefully.
"I'm sorry but you are pregnant Sha're," he told her.

Sha're felt herself start to bounce slightly as the car drew up to the mountain. She knew Weir was standing beside her wondering why Sha're was so hyper but Sha're didn't care, despite what Warner had told her she was still determined to complete the healing of her marriage.
When Daniel appeared from the car Sha're smiled meeting him with a hug.
"Hi," he greeted giving her a quick kiss before turning to Weir, "It went well. The training will continue for the next few weeks and then we get to send them through the Gate, once we get the Gate back to normal operations."
"Good work Dr Jackson," Weir smiled, "Dr Warner has told me that you have missed your annual check-up," she laughed when she noticed his grimace, "So go to that first and I'll see you in two days."
Daniel nodded before slipping his arm around Sha're and walking towards the elevator with her.
"What do you want to do since I have a few days off?" he asked her.
Sha're shrugged as they entered the infirmary leading him to a bed where they had to wait for Warner.
"Dan'iel," she said standing in front of him and taking his hands, "I want to go home once you are finished."
"Sure I'll drive you to Sam's…" he trailed off as she shook her head with a soft laugh.
"No Dan'iel," Sha're held his hands tightly in hers, "I want to go home. Our home," she clarified smiling as the light shone in his eyes.
"Really?" Daniel asked in amazement.
Sha're nodded, "I wish to be your wife again."
Daniel grabbed her in a tight hug making her laugh as he lifted her off the floor. He placed her back down, "I love you."
"I love you too my Dan'iel," Sha're rested her forehead against his, "My husband."

Once Daniel's check-up was finished he took her home totally giddy over the fact they were back together again properly. They were going to move her stuff back in the next day but for tonight they were celebrating. When they entered the house Sha're nervously licked her lips and led him to the couch.
"I need to tell you something," Sha're took a seat beside him, "This had nothing to do with my decision to come home, I promise. I decided we should be married again before I discovered this."
"Discovered what?" Daniel asked worriedly.
Sha're licked her lips, "I…I…" she took a deep breath, "I am with child."
Daniel stared at her, "Are you sure?" he finally managed to ask.
Sha're nodded, "I made Dr Warner do the test three times."
"You know you're not supposed to bully the medical staff," Daniel teased before taking a deep breath, "We're going to have a baby?"
"Yes Dan'iel," Sha're smiled her eyes sparkling, "We are going to have a baby."
Sha're could feel Daniel's frustration radiating at the fact that Sam and Teal'c were leaving to find the Asgard and he was left on Earth but now the Goa'ulds coming to Earth.
"Dan'iel," she whispered gently touching his hand.
"What's wrong?" he noticed the worry in her eyes.
Sha're swallowed hard, "I cannot be there when the Goa'uld are there."
"Honey," Daniel caught her hands, "I wouldn't make you do that."
"I…I know that," she took a deep breath, "Elizabeth asked for my input and I wish I could…I wish I…"
"Sha're," Daniel gently touched her cheek pulling her closer to him, "I know how hard this is for you and I won't let anyone force you to do something you don't want to do."
She sighed, "I will be here listening in until you need me."
"I always need you," Daniel murmured.
Sha're gently kissed his neck slowly working her way up along his jaw, "And I am always here my Dan'iel."

Sha're grimaced as Daniel shut down the Gate stopping the Goa'uld's leaving Earth.
Amaterasu turned as Daniel entered the Gateroom, "What is the meaning of this?"
"The second message," Daniel told them, "They've been recalled because the System Lords have decided to test our defences. They're sending a ship to attack Earth. It'll be here within the hour."
Weir turned on the Goa'uld, "Sending ships here to attack us is an act of war, and a foolish one at that, given what our defences are capable of."
"My Lord did not order such action," Yu's First Prime told them
"Then undo it," Daniel demanded, "Tell the System Lords to call the ship back."
"The decision they have made is one of desperation, forced upon them by your unwillingness to help," Amaterasu told them the sneer still evident in her voice, "Persuading them to change course can only be done in person."
"Whatever you send here shall be destroyed," Sha're stepped into the Gateroom interrupting them, "The System Lords are fools to believe this will help them in any way."
All three Goa'uld turned to her in shock.
"Ammonet?" Amaterasu asked in surprise.
"She is dead," Sha're replied sharply, "However I know a great deal about how you all operate. We allow you to leave; you will not stop the ship so there is no point in us allowing you to leave."
Weir smiled softly at Sha're before nodding to the guards, "Take them away."
Watching the Goa'uld walk away Sha're felt Daniel touch her arm, turning she smiled at him.
x
Sha're felt the chill slide down her spine as she sat at the far end of the table, she could feel the guards at either side of her knowing Daniel had deliberately made sure that was where they stood.
Weir entered the room a smile on her face, "I have just received word that the Asgard have arrived. They want to witness the demonstration of our new Ancient defence technology that you have forced us into. There's still time to call off the attack."
"We would also like to witness the demonstration," Amaterasu said her eyes turning back to Sha're who managed to stay calm and just return the stare thankful when Daniel came up from the Control Room.
"Your ship isn't coming," Daniel announced, "It was destroyed en route by Ba'al. The collective forces of the System Lords are bowing, and you're losing the war."
Yu grimaced at him, "And so are you."
Before another word was uttered Daniel was enveloped in a bright light disappearing from the room.
Sha're stopped herself from calling out his name instead she turned to Weir, "It appears Thor is not in the mood to debate with petty Goa'uld."
"Looks that way," Weir nodded, "I'll give you a call when he gets back."
Sha're nodded standing up and without a backwards glance left the Briefing room heading to Daniel's office. Once there she sat down taking deep breaths to calm herself. Just being near those things chilled her and having to sit there calmly had taken its toll. Resting in one of the seats she placed her hand on her stomach as it churned hoping she wouldn't be sick. The last thing she needed was a trip to the infirmary which would frighten Daniel placing him in a hyperactive protective mode when he returned.
Taking a drink of water Sha're picked up what she had been working on, settling in to wait for her husband's return.
Daniel sat against one of the walls watching as Sam studied the weapon Jack had made.
"Hey," Jack appeared above him.
"Hey," Daniel replied.
Jack slid down the wall to sit beside him, "So how's things?"
"Good," Daniel told him, "You?"
"Daniel!" Jack snapped making his friend laugh.
"She's good," Daniel smiled before looking up at Jack, "She moved back in almost a week ago."
"That's fabulous Danny," Jack told him.
"And she's pregnant."
"What?"
"We're having a baby," Daniel grinned at his friend.
"Sweet," Jack grinned back falling silent for a few moments, "Was I missed?"
"Missed?" Daniel shrugged before laughing at his friend's face, "Of course you were."
Jack stretched, "Well, how's my house?"
"Still there," Daniel told him, "Sara…she told me not to touch anything for a few months.
"Sara?"
"I had to tell her you were…" Daniel trailed off.
"I'd better go see her," Jack sighed.
"Probably a good idea," Daniel agreed, looking up as Thor told them they were almost back on Earth, "Let's go home."
x
Sha're stood with Weir waiting for Thor to return SG1 to them smiling as Daniel appeared in a flash of light. She was just aware of Teal'c and Sam standing right behind her husband but ignored them for the duration of Daniel's kiss hello.
"Hi honey, I'm home," Daniel grinned at his wife, "And I brought you a present."
"A present?" suspicion filled Sha're's voice, "What could you bring me from the Asgard homeworld?"
"Miss me?" Jack's voice called from behind Teal'c.
"Jack?" Sha're cried throwing her arms around him, "It is so good to see you."
Jack hugged her, "You're looking good honey and I hear you're back where you belong now."
Sha're smiled and gave a quick nod.
"And," Jack grinned, "You have a little package to be delivered in about seven months."
"You're pregnant?" Sam cried stunned.
"Did I just give away a secret?" Jack asked, "Oops."
Sha're laughed before she turned to Sam and Teal'c nodding, "Dan'iel and I are having a baby."
Sha're found herself being hugged by Sam as Teal'c congratulated Daniel, she caught her husband's eye and smiled.

Sha're stood with Daniel at Jack's ceremony, she was so proud of her surrogate big brother. Daniel's hand slid into hers and she could see on his own face the sheer pride he felt at his friend's promotion.
It was several hours later after both ceremonies and Sha're found herself sitting with Jack in her back garden as the others from the SGC milled around the lounge and dining room enjoying the party.
"It will be an interesting change," Sha're told him, "To have you in charge of us."
"Good thing or not?" he asked.
Sha're squeezed his hand, "I trust you completely Jack and I believe in you."
"So good thing or not?" he asked again wincing when she smacked his arm.
"It is a wonderful thing," she told him, "It is good to have my family together again."
Jack slung his arm around her shoulders, "It's good you and Daniel are finally getting things right. You know he was bursting with pride when he told me about the baby. He's going to be a great Dad."
"And our child will have the best uncle," Sha're smiled.
"Teal'c is the best," Jack joked before hugging her tightly, "That kid is going to be doted upon."
As they sat together Jack grinned, it was good to be home.
