"It Runs in the Family"
Ch. 7
(Atlantis, Infirmary)
"Word has it that you and Teyla are both candidates for the last position of Major Sheppard's team," Carson said to Tris as they mended Halling's hurt leg.
"And if I am?" Tris asked, putting her magical healing herb paste on Halling's burns.
Carson gave a slight shrug as he wrapped their patient's leg.
"I was only wondering, doctor," he told her. Carson turned to speak to Halling, "Try to stay off it for a couple of days. You should come back tomorrow to get fresh wrappings."
The Athosian Male nodded.
"Thank you, Doctor's," he said.
"Try not to touch anything else that hasn't been cleared by any of the security teams," Tris told him, firmly. "I'll see you tonight, Halling."
He nodded and made his way slowly out of the Infirmary in crutches. Carson glanced at her.
"Major Sheppard is telling the Athosian children a story tonight. I'm taking Hope and Faith along," she informed him.
(Atlantis, Daniel/Tris's Quarter's)
Daniel plopped down on the bed, his exhaustion taking over him fully. Tris stepped into the room, from the door that had joined another beside, where the girls would sleep. She sat beside Daniel on the bed. Tris leaned over and kissed him.
"Get some sleep. Elizabeth will wake you if there's an emergency," she told him, softly.
Daniel let out a long breathe. He closed his eyes. She gave him one last kiss good night before retiring into the bathroom.
(Bathroom)
The Ancients loved to live richly. The bathroom was lavishly decorated with the most delicate materials. Tris turned on the faucet. As the water flowed into the vast tub, Tris pointed index finger at the four candles and fire escaped the finger and she lit the candles.
Tris closed her eyes and a steam of red roses grew out of her wrist. She flinched as she picked off three roses and let the rest of the steam die. Tris than picked off the petals and dropped them into the hot bath.
The Mage then tied her braided hair into one collective bun. Tris gradually took of her clothes one item at a time. She then dipped her feet into the hot water. Once it was filled to the required height, Tris turned off the faucet.
Tris let out a long deep breathe. It had been a long time since Tris had a nice, relaxing bath. She hoped that there would be no interruptions.
Tris began to play with the water. She put her hand an inch from the water's surface and then pulled it up slowly. As she did so, water swirled and it floated, in a cone shape a few centimeters from Tris's hand. Tris then squashed it in her hand.
After her bath, Tris dressed into her clothes as gracefully as she had undressed and headed into the girls rooms. Once she had checked to make sure the girls had everything they need, Tris slipped into the covers of the bed and laid down next to her husband. She kissed Daniel softly on his cheek before falling to sleep herself.

Kate K: "Your writing is fine, but why is this a Daniel Jackson story instead of SGA? I prefer SGA to be its own show with its own characters and not just another playground for the SG-1 characters."
Me: Because not all people like Weir and think Daniel deserved to go. It's an AU fic after all. Besides Weir is coming along too. I put her in there so it won't be all of Daniel in Command. The two are sharing command on Atlantis.
(A/N: I will be gone for most of this week. So the next chapter may not be out for sometime.)
