AN: though my intention had been to leave the fic as it was, I couldn't help but write down this little scene after I was inspired by BeckyS's review.

It brings some closure and answers that had been left open, as well as attempting to be funny.

I hope you like it and don't forget to review, cause you never know, maybe your review will inspire a new fic, it happened before many times, so don't be shy and hit the nice violet button to submit a review.

EPILOGUE

2 YEARS LATER

CHULAK

Bird Colonel Cameron Mitchell and Teal'c of Chulak walked down the road towards the settlement.

Natives bowed in respect to the two former members of SG-1 and warriors who had helped defeat the Ori the year before and the Goa'uld 3 years before.

SG-1 was no more, it's members having left to lead their own lives after the defeat of the religious fanatics.

Lt Col Samantha Carter had resigned and was now working as the civilian part-time contractor Dr Samantha O'Neill at the Pentagon, near the office of her husband, who's job had grown even larger and more important after the expansion of the program as the consequence of the war with the Goa'uld and the Ori which also meant additional ship building facilities, with the O'Neill quadraplets (-evil laugh-) being cared for in the Pentagon's daycare. Recently she'd been thinking of pulling back and staying home to take care of their brood that had been quickly growing over the daycare employees' heads. With having her own lab inside their house she could still perform her mad-scientist-type experiments, so she'd still have some mental challenges should she decide to become a stay-at-home mom.

Teal'c was on the Jaffa council and had recently married a female Jaffa, having moved off-world fulltime.

Vala Mitchell was going crazy from boredom after having been put on medical leave. She'd broken her left leg in three places and her right wrist on a mission a month before that. The official version of the report had been squeaky clean, mentioning no circumstances of the injury, but after Cam'd talked to the other members of SG-7, he'd found out that his wife hadn't changed all that much (only until her accident, because of which she had completely new priorities and a new perspective on life). She'd been on the trail of some treasure on P9F-887 that was supposed to be there, when it happened. Something that had caused no small amusement to Cam, after he'd survived the first few waves of panic and 'what if-s'.

Vala had fallen down a hole.

A big hole, granted, but still a hole. More accurately, an animal trap. Thankfully the type meant to catch live animals and Cam was still literally having nightmares of what would've happened had it been the type of hole with sharp sticks meant to impale unfortunate beings.

The only thing keeping her from going three fries short of a happy meal with boredom was their 15 month old son, David.

Vala's accident had shaken them all up, making the two spouses even more aware of just how quickly one can die and just how banal and pointless their death can be.

Falling down a hole and getting killed by a trap meant for animals. A pretty undignified (not to mention tragic) death for a mighty warrior, ex-host, ex-thief and a proud wife and mother.

It had made them both think about their life and their chosen careers. The end result was that they were both resigning from active duty roster and taking administrative and consulting positions at the SGC. Thankfully, since their son's mom is an alien and had been a Goa'uld's host, they were able to bring their son to the base occasionally, since the only doctors who had clearance to care for him were there. With Cam and Vala taking administrative and consulting positions they would spend their entire days at the base, no more going off-world, and so they could spend much of that time with their child and each other.

David was of course ecstatic, because it meant he would be spending more time with his parents in the future.

His very obvious happiness and glee had also made the two adults feel pretty guilty for putting their jobs before their own flesh and blood and now Cam couldn't even understand how had he ever put his career before the little person that he had helped create with Vala in her own body. It made him feel like a bastard and, judging by Vala's expression upon seeing their son's happiness at hearing their decision, she was feeling the same.

Amazing how life had changed. Of the 6 members of SG-1, all of them except one were now settled down, married and had kids. With his and Vala's leaving the teams, SG-1 would truly cease to exist, all of it's members living peaceful, normal lives, with 9 to 5 jobs, their main concern being their kids, daycare, schools,... normal things. They would finally be all settled into normal lives. Well, as normal as it could get, considering that they were once visiting other planets and fighting aliens for a living... Their lives were pretty much average now.

As for the last member of the former premier team of the SGC... well, he was the reason they were here now.

Turning the last bend, the two strong warriors caught sight of the errant archeologist.

He was standing near the fence that was separating his real-estate from his neighbor's, gesturing wildly with his hands as he talked rapidly.

Cam and Teal'c crept closer to hear what was being said, fully expecting a lecture about some obscure rituals of some obscure people... er... the Tau'ri.

"... then you put the flour in, add a spoonful of salt and start mixing."

Cam and Teal'c locked eyes in an incredulous look. The great Dr Daniel Jackson, archeologist, linguist, former Ascended, and fear of the Ascended Ancients was exchanging recipes.

They couldn't help it.

They burst out laughing, Cam's guffaws mingling with Teal'c's deep chuckles.

The figure before them froze, with hands still in the air, and turned slowly.

"Uh, hi.." he said, uncomfortably pushing his glasses higher on his nose as he stared at his two former team-mates. It'd been almost a year and a half since he'd last seen them and this was not how he'd imagined seeing them.

When they'd finally managed to collect themselves and returned his greeting he introduced them to his friend. "This is Shal'ka, mate of Terna'ka."

Teal'c and Cam greeted the matronly female Jaffa, who had been leaning on the fence from her frontyard, exchanging recipes with Daniel.

"So... where's the Mrs.?" asked Cam, barely suppressing his mirth as he knew the answer. It was obvious who was wearing the pants in this relationship and it wasn't the male.

"Uh... she's on a mission, they're rounding up the last of the Ori soldiers on some planet." explained Daniel.

Just then a baby's cry pierced the air and Daniel's head snapped up.

He looked towards the house, then turned back to Shal'ka, exchanged a few words and hurried into the home.

His two former team-mates just looked after him in surprise, marveling over how life had changed.

When 2 years ago Teal'c had brought up Daniel's lack of sex life in conjunction with how it was endangering them, then proceeded to mention that a female Jaffa was interested in the archeologist, Cam and Vala had had a mental image of Daniel being Mr Mom, exchanging gossip and recipes with the female mates of other Jaffa, it had been damn funny.

And now that mental image had turned out to be a prophecy of things that were to happen.

Cam shook his head disbelievingly. Jackson... married... with kids... being Mr Mom in a patriarchial society...

Cam chuckled. 'Only Jackson.'

He couldn't wait to get back home to tell Vala about it, knowing she'd find it as funny as he.

And as he watched Daniel carrying a small bundle and leading a toddler by his hand out of the house, Cam only had one thought.

Amazing how life changes.
