When Dr. Lew went to see his patient later that day he could tell there was something a little different. It might have been how quickly Jack left the room after accompanying Daniel, or how Daniel actually turned his head to watch Jack leave.

What ever it was didn't make a full effect until about 15 minutes into their session. It was more of a staring contest at this point, and while it normally stayed one for the full 30 minutes, it was Daniel who actually broke it.

"What year is it?" He asked suddenly.

Dr. Lew paused before answering. More shocked to hear his patient speak without prompting than anything else. "Why?"

"A lot of time must have past. I must have been gone a long time."

"Gone?"

"Yeah, I go away sometimes. I come back a little later."

"I don't understand."

"Most of the times when I'm," pause "hurt, I go away. I don't know where I go. I just go away and when I come back I'm normally in a hospital bed of some sort. But I don't think I've ever been gone for this long."

"Why do you say it's been a long time?" Dr. Lew tried to keep the conversation going, letting Daniel lead the conversation. He'd have to talk to Jack later as to what might have caused this.

"Well, the equipment here is different. I've never seen some of the machines here. And I've been in a lot of hospitals. Also, I'm different. I look longer, taller I guess, and heavier. There's hair in places I don't remember there being hair." Daniel blushed a bit at the last statement.

Dr. Lew nodded. He knew what Daniel was talking about. Where he was in his mind he was still a pre pubescent boy. But his body was that of a full grown man. "Daniel, it's actually 2001. You're 35 years old."

"I went away from 24 years?" Daniel asked shocked.

"No. You were on a mission, and got hurt. It was very bad."

"Bad like when Colonel Mitchell hurt me?" Daniel's voice quavered.

"Yes, bad like that."

"Oh." They sat in silence for a while. "Why do you think that I think that I'm eleven then?" He asked the doctor.

"Why do you think?"

"Not sure." Daniel yawned.

"You feeling tired?" Daniel nodded. "You sleeping well at night?"

"I guess. I wake up from nightmares."

"Okay. I can have Dr. Frasier give you something for them if you want."

"No. It's okay." He yawned again.

"You did very well today. I want you to think about why you think that you're eleven in your mind." Dr. Lew pressed the button that alerted the nurse that Daniel was ready to go back to his room. "Daniel, I want you to know that Jack, Sam, Teal'c General Hammond and Dr. Frasier , are all friends of yours. They want to help you and care about you. If you need to or want to talk, they are there for you."

Daniel just nodded and continued to try and stay awake. By the time he was back in the infirmary he was asleep.

When he awoke again the big black man, Teal'c, was sitting by his bedside. "Hi." He said softly.

Teal'c looked over at Daniel, "DanielJackson, how are you feeling?"

"Okay I guess. A little hungry."

"That is good to hear. DoctorFraiser has left some food for you."

"What is it?"

"A can of Ensure."

"Oh."

"Would you like to have it?"

"It's not really food, but I guess." He nodded.

Teal'c opened the can and put a straw in it and held it to Daniel's lips. He didn't really understand what was going on. All he knew was that Daniel was hurt badly and thought that he was still a child after he was hurt by his foster family. O'Neill had explained to him that what Daniel needed was his friends to be there and take care of him. Teal'c had no problem with helping he just wasn't sure what he was supposed to do.

"What's that?" Daniel broke Teal'c's thoughts by motioning to a roller cart with a television and VCR on it.

"It's a television and VCR. It allows us to record shows and rewatch them."

"Oh."

"Would you care to join me in watching a movie?"

"A movie? Right here?" Daniel couldn't help but be excited.

Teal'c nodded. "It is one of my favorites." He pushed power on the remote and the television sprung to life.

Daniel's eyes opened wide as the first strands of John Williams sounded. "Star Wars?" He asked. Teal'c nodded. "I saw this in the theatre. The colonel let me go with the neighbors next door. They had an extra ticket. It was the only time I went out." He finished softly.

"Afterwards, we can watch the other movies." And Teal'c sat back to watch both the movie and Daniel.

They never got to watch the other movies. Daniel had fallen asleep after the first half hour. Teal'c stopped the film, they could finish it later. It was more enjoyable to watch Daniel than it was the film. It reminded him of showing his son the wonders of the world when he was younger.

He'd share this with the rest of his team. Maybe they would help Daniel if they didn't leave him in such a cold and sterile atmosphere.

Dr. Lew immediately agreed. The idea of treating Daniel more like a person as opposed to just leaving him lying in the hospital might be a good idea. It might help him open up like he did earlier in the day.

Sam didn't have time to prepare anything for him. She did bring one of the notebooks he had in regards to the language that was found on Abydos. Jack showed up for his shift with a movie. 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' was a hit with the young Daniel.

By the third day they had fallen into a routine. Jack would take the night shift. Daniel would have his session with Dr. Lew in the morning and then sit with Teal'c and watch Star Wars. In the afternoon, Sam would stay with him and show him samples of artifacts on the computer that needed translating.

Daniel also enjoyed the translating. She kept to things that were similar to Egyptian. She wasn't surprised to see Daniel doing well with it.

Jack would come back in the evening with a movie to watch.

They still hadn't gotten too far in anything. Daniel still tired easily and couldn't stay awake for more than an hour, most of the time it was less then that. He would then sleep for a few hours. Janet said that it was normal, that his body needed to heal and sleep was the best way for it.

Dr. Lew was extremely patient with Daniel. There wasn't much progress since that first time Daniel spoke. Again they were told that was normal. It seemed that with each passing day Daniel was becoming more at ease with his old teammates.
