AN: Yes, I'm finally back, it has been a crazy year for me, in the last 6 months I have bought a house, my laptop crashed, I started a second job, and bought a new laptop. Now I am finally posting a new chapter for this story. I have been blown away by all the reviews and alerts this story has received, thank you to everyone for waiting!

Chapter 6

"Now, let's work on your identity, we need to make airproof identities if we're going to convince any Air Force background checks that we were married once. Because, you know that if Daniel and your granddaughter are on such a classified project, they will check our identities. By the way, what is your granddaughter's name?"

"Her name is Major Dr Samantha Carter."

Dr Adam Pierson and Dr Anise Pierson, his ex-wife, stepped off the plane from Seattle to Colorado Springs. Glancing around the airport as they walked, they made their way to baggage pickup and picked up their luggage.

A young man in an Air Force uniform walked up to them and addressed Adam,

"Dr Pierson? I'm Lt. Weaver; Dr Jackson has been held up and sent me to take you to his apartment."

"Thank you, Lieutenant; will Daniel be busy for very long?"

"No sir, he should be done within the next couple hours, but he didn't want you to have to wait for him."

They followed the Lt. out of the airport and got into a sedan that was waiting for them outside. On the way to Daniel's house, no one spoke much; when they got to the apartment, Lt Weaver let them in, showed them to the guest room, and sat down in a corner of the living room after informing them that he would remain until Daniel arrived. Anise browsed around the artifacts in Daniel's living room until one particular one caught her eye. "Adam, come here, this looks familiar," she said in an ancient dialect of Latin that only she and Methos had spoke for the last 2500 years.

Methos came over and looked at it closely, then chuckled. "I remember that, you gave it to me when I had caught more waterfowl hunting on the Nile than all the other men." He turned it over and said, "See, there is my mark. Just when did you give me that?"

She thought a minute before coming up with the answer, "I think Thotmes III was the ruler of Egypt when I gave you that; remember, you were a small court official, and spent more time socializing than working."

"I remember now, for such a primitive time, we always were quite happy, and you made an excellent house mistress."

Lt. Weaver spoke up, "What are you two talking about?"

Anise and Methos exchanged a look, "We were comparing our ideas on what period this piece came from, it is somewhat unusual."

Adam flopped back on the couch then and began chatting with their escort, discussing the attractions in Colorado Springs.

Awhile later, the door opened and Daniel stepped through, after he hung his coat up he turned and saw them sitting there talking.

"Adam!" he exclaimed, "I can't believe you came to see me!"

"Well you're not exactly easy to find you know, but my partner and I were between digs and I thought it would be good to catch up with you." Adam smiled and pulled Anise up next to him. "This is Anise Pierson, my ex-wife and partner" "Ex-wife? How does that work?" Daniel asked.

Anise laughed, "We were friends who thought we would be good lovers, turned out we were better as just friends. But, it was very amicable and we decided to keep working together, and it's been pretty good, even if it's a little weird sometimes." "Wow, I never knew that you got married, it sounds like we have a lot to catch up on. But, I promised my friends I would meet them for dinner tonight, they said you could come along, Jack said he wants to hear the stories from college."

Adam laughed, "Did you tell him they involve a lot of beer?"

"No, he thinks I'm a lightweight." Daniel shook his head, "I let him have his fun and played along."

Anise chuckled, "Well, maybe it's time for him to learn archeologists know how to party. Who are the rest of your friends?"

"Well there's Jack O'Neill of course, then there's Murray Teal, and Sam Carter."

"Sounds like an interesting bunch of people, I can't wait to meet them." Anise said.
