Valawas the first one to wake, turning over and rubbing her eyes gently, before taking in her surroundings.
"Hi", leaned over Sam cautiously, the others at this point also saw that she was awake and slowly moved closer.
"Do you know who I am?" asked Sam
Vala shyly shook her head, before hiding under the covers when she saw Teal'c and Cameron.
:She doesn't seem to know who I am." Sam told them.
Doctor Lam walked over and sat gently on the edge of her bed
"Vala?"she asked hoping she would get some sign that she knew her name
"Vala?" she said again as she gently pulled the covers back, the small girl underneath lied curled up clearly scared of her surroundings.
"Hi there." She said softly stroking the young girl's hair to try and sooth her.
"My name is Carolyn, is yours Vala?"
Vala slowly nodded only looking in the doctors direction
"This is Sam, she said pointing out the other woman next to her.
"Don't worry we're not going to hurt you."
"Can you tell me how old you are?"
Vala rolled over onto her other side and hid her face in her arms.
"Ok, we should give her some time."
"At least she knew who she was."
"Yes it suggests that her memories have resorted to their previous state of a child.
"Doctor Lam, I believe that Daniel Jackson is waking up." Teal'c informed the rest of the group.
Doctor Lam signaled that they should stay a little way back and let her talk to him, rather than overwhelm him as they seemed to with Vala, Sam stayed sitting with Vala, quietly by the edge of her bed stroking her hair as Doctor Lam had managed to calm her earlier, hoping it would help her to begin to talk.
"Hi there, can you tell me your name?" Doctor Lam asked the young boy
"Daniel."
"Hi Daniel, I'm Carolyn, do you know where you are?"
The young boy looked up at his surroundings surveying the area
"Am I in the hospital?"
"Yes, sort of"
"Where are my Mummy and Daddy?"
"Well, they…."
"Are they on another dig?"
"Yes, they had to go on a dig and they asked us to look after you for a little while, is that Ok?"
The young boy simply nodded
"Ok, I'm just going to go and talk to my friends quickly I am going to be just over there, Ok, you say if you need anything Ok?"
"Ok."
"How is he?"
"The same he knows who he is, but asked after his parents, so must have also resorted to his childhood memories."
"What did you say about his parents?"
"I said they're on a dig and he was staying here with us for a little while."
"Did he buy it?"
"He seemed to."
Doctor Lam looked over to Sam silently asking how Vala was, Vala had turned over and was resting her head on the side of Sam's leg, at least showing that she was beginning to become more comfortable with her surroundings.
"You feel like talking now?" Sam asked.
Vala just shrugged.
"Ok, can you tell me how old you are?"
"Seven." She whispered.
"Do you know where you are?"
"No."
"Well, you're on a planet called Earth, you're going to be staying here for a little while, ok?"
"Is my Mummy here?"
"No, but I am and so is Carolyn and we're going to take really good care of you, Ok?
"Ok." She whispered
