Author's Note: Hey guys, it's Spring Break. Here's your present due to the lovely 'spring' outside my doors. (And by that I mean freezing cold, bone-chilling weather that I wish would warm up!) Here you all go!

Disclaimer: You all know by now I don't own Stargate.

"Amara has been acting strange lately." Vala informed her husband, handing him a cup of coffee and sinking down into the chair next to him. They were watching Amara and Elliot play together or, more precisely, Elliot play and every so often pull on Amara's arm, urging her to join in the apparent fun with him.

"I've noticed it too. What do you think is wrong with her?" Daniel questioned, staring at the two dark haired children.

"I don't know." Vala said, using a hushed tone so the kids wouldn't here. "But I think it could have something to do with the Ori..." She said the last word in a mere whisper.

"All she has been doing is sitting there, like she is deep in thought. She won't even come near me any more. It's like she doesn't even know me." Daniel responded, breaking his gaze and turning to look at her.

"She hasn't been listening to anything I say. I mean, Amara has always been strong-willed, like me, but not....not like this." She replied, glancing down at her daughter.

"Do you want me to go with you to take her to Dr. Lam?" He asked.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt. What should we do with Elliot?" She questioned.

"Sam or Jack will watch him."

"You mean Sam. Why should we ever trust Jack with our kids?" She questioned, eyes going wide, but merely using sarcasm. At least, that's what it sounded like.

----------------------------

"Well, I don't know what to tell you." Dr. Lam informed the worried couple in front of her. "Amara is in perfect health and I don't see anything wrong with her. do you know when all this started?" She questioned.

"It was that day when we were just getting out of quarantine." Vala replied. "Daniel brought the kids into the control room because they got stuck on base with us. After the gate shut down she stood, frozen. I finally got her to move, but she hasn't been playing like she used to. Laughing, smiling. Nothing. It's frightened." Vala shivered involuntarily.

Daniel squeezed her hand.

"I'd say watch her." Carolyn said, lowering her voice so Amara, who sat on a bed, wouldn't hear. "We all know that she's a result of some strange Ori plan. Could this be a result of their plan?"

"I haven't allowed myself that option." Vala replied.
