Here is today's chapter, and once again it is a bit shippy, but remember, ship happens.

Elphie Muse: So funny I forgot to laugh.

Yeah, well...whatever. And to those readers who don't like Sam/Dan pairings or think it's "Like incest", how is it like incest? Sam and Daniel aren't even related! Daniel even asks Sam after he's Descended if there was anything between them...but I degress...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank SithLibrarian and Darth Tater for reviewing so much. The two of you rock! I have digital invisible pudding on the way to you two...hopefully it won't get lost...

Elphie Muse:Sarcastically: Now why would digital invisible pudding get lost?

Ah shut your yap. So go enjoy the chapter.

I own nothing of consquence in this fic.

Sam slowly broke away from Daniel, her heart thudding loudly in her chest. She looked up at Daniel. "Daniel, I…" she began.

"I'm sorry," he said, cutting her off.

"For what?" she asked.

He stared at her in confusion. Sam gave him a small smile. Daniel found it hard to breath staring into Sam's blue eyes. She unwrapped the curtain and draped it loosely over them. She rested her head against his chest again and closed her eyes.

"I love you Daniel," she whispered.

Daniel blinked, not believing what he was hearing. "You…you do?"

"Yes. I don't know how you feel about me, but I had to tell you before anything happened," she said. Please let him care about me the same way I care about him, Sam thought desperately.

A smile broke out on Daniel's face and he held Sam close. "I love you Samantha," he whispered softly in her ear.

She lifted her head slightly to look up at them and they kissed again. "I must be dreaming," she murmured.

"Then don't wake up," he said. A thought crossed his mind and he chuckled.

"What?" she asked.

"I just hope I never anger your mother. She could turn me into a newt or something," he said.

Sam shrugged. "You'd still be a cute newt."

"We should get up to show the others we're not dead," Daniel said.

"We should," she agreed, not moving.

Daniel shook his hand and looked out the window. "This is a beautiful place," he said, the sun finally over the horizon.

"Sunset is even better," Sam said.

A knock sounded on the door. "Breakfast!" Elphaba's voice called through the door. "I can't promise any will be left if you two stay up here. Your friend Teal'c has a healthy appetite."

Sam groaned but got up. She ran her hands through her hair to straighten it and opened the door. "Morning," she said to her mother.

"Samantha, Daniel," Elphaba greeted. They made their way down to the dining room and sat at the table. Even though nothing had happened between Sam and Daniel, everyone knew that something had changed between them.

"So, which Goa'uld are we dealing with?" Cameron asked as the food came out.

"Hathor," Sam said, picking at eggs.

"Didn't she die?" Hailey questioned.

"Apparently not," Daniel said.

"Only Daniel Jackson and myself will be able to get close enough to Hathor," Teal'c said, piling a large amount of eggs on his fork.

"Why only you two?" Glinda asked.

"Of the men here, they're the only ones who can't be affected by the mind dust Hathor has," Sam said.

"The stuff doesn't affect women," Hailey put in.

"Daniel's already been exposed to it and now has an immunity. Teal'c is immune because he's Jaffa," Sam went on.

"So what can we do?" Elphaba asked.

Sam shrugged. "I'm not sure there's much we can do."

"We try to get the nations to unite together," Glinda said.

"That could work," Cameron said. Over the rest of breakfast and much of the day, they began coming up with plans and ideas on how to stop Hathor.

Sam sighed and flopped down on her bed, thoroughly exhausted. Daniel shut the door and smiled. "Tired?" he asked.

Sam mumbled something into the mattress. She lifted her head up and rolled onto her back. "How could you tell?" she repeated.

He grinned. "Lucky guess."

Sam shook her head and sat up. She kicked off her shoes and stood. She gathered her nightclothes and went to the bathroom to change. Daniel merely took off his shoes and socks. He unbuckled his belt and set it down on top of his things. A moment later Sam emerged from the bathroom. She wore a pair of baggy flannel pants and a loose tank top. As Daniel made to settle himself on the cushions of the chair, Sam grabbed his hand and led him over to the bed.

"You all right?" he asked.

"I…I don't want to sleep alone," she whispered, her gaze lowered. "Last night was the first time I didn't have the visions." She looked up and Daniel could detect a faint trace of fear. "I don't want to have them again." He nodded in understanding. When Sha're and Janet had died, Sam had been there with him, giving him a shoulder to lean on. Now it was his turn to be the shoulder.

They crawled into bed. Sam snuggled close to him and kissed him softly. He returned the kiss, his fingers brushing her bare shoulder. She shivered and they sank beneath the covers, tired but content as they held one another in their arms.

"Sam! Fight it!" Daniel yelled, his arms chained behind him. Teal'c and Cameron lay unconscious on the floor. Blood was smeared on their faces.

"The one called Carter is no more," a sonorous voice boomed. "We are now Hathor." She extended her left hand and activated the hand device. Daniel's face contorted in pain. He let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground, unmoving. His eyes told of his disbelief and pain before they closed.

Hathor grinned, running a hand through her blonde hair. "This world, is now ours," she declared with a laugh. She turned her attention to Fiyero and grinned. "Time to die father," she whispered. She held out her left hand and smiled as he sagged in the chains, dead.

"Fiyero!" Elphaba screamed. "You'll pay for that!" she snarled at Hathor.

"You will not kill us. We are, after all, your precious daughter," Hathor chuckled. She picked up the torture rod and pressed it against Elphaba's skin. The green woman shrieked in pain.

"Colonel stop!" Hailey yelled.

Hathor stopped and turned to the Captain. "I think not," she said. "Once this world bows to me, Earth shall fall as well."

"Hathor!" a voice yelled. She looked up and saw Daniel leaning heavily against the wall, bruised and bloodied. A Berretta was in his hand and wavering. "Let them go now!" he ordered.

"We don't think so," Hathor laughed. "The only way to stop us is to kill the woman you love. And you will never be able to do that." The gun lowered and he slid to the ground. Hathor laughed. "Pathetic," she said.

"Daniel…do something!" Elphaba cried. Her large stomach prevented her from moving quickly, as did the chains.

"He will not," Hathor scoffed. "He is pathetic. Why Carter loved him is a mystery." She smiled in triumph and made her way over to Elphaba.

"Sam…I'm sorry," Daniel whispered. He lifted the gun and squeezed off several rounds. Hathor turned, shock and disbelief on her face. She fell to her knees and then to her side, her eyes staring lifelessly at him.

He rose to his feet and undid the chains on his companions. Tears streamed down his face. Hailey placed one of his arms over her shoulder to help support him. "You had no choice Daniel," Hailey said softly.

"I could've tried harder," he whispered.

"You stopped Hathor," Elphaba said, emotion thick in her voice.

The sound of metal on stone made them turn. As they turned, a flash of light shot past them and struck Elphaba in the stomach. As she fell to the ground, another flash went by and struck Hailey. Daniel stared in horror as Hathor aimed the staff weapon at him. He stood rooted to the spot.

"Die our love," she snarled. Daniel saw the flash of light heading right for his chest and let out a cry of pain as it struck him…

"DANIEL!" Sam screamed, bolting upright in bed. Her chest was heaving and ice cold sweat clung to her skin. Tears streamed down her face.

"Sam?" Daniel asked, having nearly fallen off the bed when Sam screamed his name. He immediately noticed her entire body shaking and the look of horror in her eyes. He pulled her to him and stroked her hair.

Sam sank into Daniel's embrace, unable to calm her shaking limbs. She gripped his shirt and began sobbing into his shoulder. Daniel continued to make soothing noises as he started rocking Sam.

"I'm fine Sam," he finally said. "I'm here."

"You have to leave," she whispered desperately. "Now before it's too late."

"I'm not leaving you alone Sam," he said. "I love you too much."

"You don't understand," she snapped, pushing him away. She rose to her feet and began pacing around the room.

"What don't I understand? If it's the visions, we'll find a way to stop them," he told her, rising to his feet. He reached out to touch her.

She shrank away. "Daniel…you don't get it. Hathor just doesn't possess me, she makes me kill you all. I don't want to watch you die," she whispered.

Daniel closed the distance between them and held her tightly. "And you won't. We'll find a way to stop Hathor and keep your visions from coming true. I promise…I promise…" he whispered, and Sam believed him.

Well? Didja like it? Please review! Reviews make me happy and semi-sane.

Elphie Muse: You can have sanity? I'm in shock.

Bite me.

Elphie Muse: Where?

...Okay...anyways, please review to shut Elphie Muse. Now while you go review, I'm going to go watch some of my Sailor Moon DVDs in the dubbed format with the subtitles from the Japanese version (it's actually funny to watch, especially in the S series of Sailor Moon).
