A Child's life

"I don't want to wear this. It's old lady looking!" Vala hissed, and ripped off the tiny suit, tailored just for her. Sg-1 thought dressing her to look older, would hopefully make her act older. No such luck.

"Vala you have to wear it." Daniel pleaded, and picked the clothes up off the ground.

"I don't want to." Vala screeched. Daniel raised his hand in exasperation. As soon as Daniel did this Vala coward, and her lip trembled. She quickly grabbed hold of his leg, and started crying.

"Please don't beat me. I'll wear it see!" she grabbed the clothes from his hands and put them back on. "I'll grow to like it." She smiled depressingly through her tears. Daniel was shocked at the sudden change in attitude.

"Oh no, no. I'm not going to beat you. I would never do that, does you're daddy do that?" Daniel asked, her. He bent down to her lever, making eye contact with her. Vala, avoided eyes contact, and looked at the ground.

"No, my daddy would never beat me. But my step-mother Adria does." Her lower lip trembled again. She hugged him, her small arms wrapping around behind his neck. "I promise I'll wear it." She told him, wanting to make him happy.

"You don't have to wear it if you don't want to." Daniel said, and pulled out of the hug. He started taking off her suit jacket, but Vala tugged it back.

"I'll wear it." Her tone was firm, and final, and Daniel definitely didn't feel like arguing with the 6 year old.

"Alright." Daniel gave in, and led her to the briefing room. "Everyone. Vala."

"She's actually wearing that outfit. How'd you get her to do that?" Cameron pointed out. Teal'c circled the little girl, as if it was some sort of trick.

"Long story, but she's wearing. What else do we need to do?" The archeologist was ready to have his adult Vala back. Whoa…wait…back up his? When did he ever call her his Vala? Oh boy.

"Well I guess she needs to make some adult choices." Sam spoke up. "Hey Vala, what do you want to have for dinner. Carrots, green beans, and chicken, or chocolate cake." Sam new it wasn't really a choice an adult would have to answer, but she was 6 how adult acting did she have to be? Vala's eyes grew wide at the mention of chocolate cake.

"Chocolate cake? Where!" In an instant Vala started searching the room carefully.

"Ok so we still have to work on acting like a proper adult."
