Vala reluctantly gave up her daughter into Daniels arms. Vala gave one final stroke of her daughter's hair and fell back into her bed. Vala watched as Daniel sat down and placed his daughter into the infirmary bassinet. He swaddled her tightly into her pink blanket and watched her for a few moments. His eyes fell back on Vala as he watched her sleep peacefully. He couldn't help but smile at his new found family He felt proud of his now family of three and wanted to give them anything and everything possible to make them happy and protected. But this meant more to Daniel than he had realized. He had finally found a sense of peace and serenity in his family; something that had eluded him for so long, for most of his life.
Teal'c, Sam, Mitchell and most of the staff of SGC, sent flowers, toys, baby clothes and all accessories that went with them to Vala and Daniel to congratulate them on their new arrival. Vala had to stay for a couple of days to recover from her C section surgery and well enough to walk around, that Dr. Lam released both mother and daughter to go home.
Sam, Cam and Teal'c had prepared Daniel's extra guest room and turned it into a nursery for a surprise for Vala. Daniel knew what they were doing, but had no ideal what it would look like until he arrived home with his new family of three. When they arrived with a special baby escort from Gen Landry, the family entered their home with a surprise from SG1 and even Carolyn was involved for the honors. Vala was led down the hall holding the baby and Daniel close beside her, to the special room. Teal'c did the honors and when he opened the door, the entire room was wallpapered in white satin and pink elephants. The basinet was ivory and silk baby sheets and pillows. There were baby dressers and furniture with a large special made rocking chair, which would sit two, with comfortable pillows for support. There were closets stacked with a year supply of baby powder, diapers, lotions and blankets. Some how, Cam had invested in overnight carpenters and plumbers that added a changing bathroom, equipped with baby sinks and all sorts of attachments, so the baby could be easily changed and washed in the same room. Teal'c had added special touches of his Jaffa culture on the walls, with colorful clothes and blankets. Sam of course picked the colors of the room and installed special monitoring devices with remote control and automatic baby rocker for the crib, so mom and dad could watch and take time for themselves without disturbing the baby. Jack had sent his love and some special presents along with Sam. There was a Teddy bear that looked old, but clean, but Sam had understood where it came from and Daniel appreciated the sentimentality that was attached with the gift. Vala was overwhelmed with tears of joy, and Daniel hugged each of his friends for this very special gift.
When the excitement died down and everyone left so the new family could have some privacy. Daniel joined Vala in nursery and Vala was finishing up feeding Eresha her late meal. Daniel bent down sitting on the floor in front of Vala and watched the beauty of Vala feeding their daughter. Once she burped her one last time; Vala gently laid Eresha in her new bed and watched in amazement, the tiny fragile baby and sighed at having a child with Daniel. Vala sat on the floor with Daniel settling into his arms, happy and content watching their daughter settle into sleep.
ANOTHER GALAXY
"My Lord, the last known coordinates are of the Milky Way Galaxy. The ship resides there."
"Any readings of Ba'al?"
"No My Lord. If our readings are accurate, we can trace the ship and access the ships recording on board."
"Find it and I want to know how earth commandeered one of our Ha'tak's."
"Yes My Lord."
"I want to know if SG1 had anything to do with this. If they did, then they will pay."
"Yes My Lord."
