Maria sighed when she woke alone. Sliding out of bed she found her fiancé sitting staring out the window at the rain battering down.

"Hey," she sat at his side, "Are you okay?"

"I'm waiting for an epiphany," Steven sighed, "That stupid code is driving me crazy."

Maria rubbed his back, "You guys will work this out."

"But will we do it in time?"

"Look at me," Maria turned him, "I believe in you. I know you and Daniel will get this," she chuckled softly, "You came up with it."

"Well Daniel came up with most of it," Steven replied before pausing in thought, "The original code was basic but we kept adding to it over the years every six weeks or…"

Maria waited as he trailed off before a grin appeared on his face, "You have an idea."

Steven turned and kissed her, "I have an idea."

"Of course," Daniel groaned as Steven explained his idea, "We should have thought of that."

"Thought of what?" Claire asked bemused.

"This code has so many variations that we made over the years we just assumed that she used a different one for each line," Steven explained, "We didn't think she used it every few words. She's actually used all the codes in order but every six words and then I'm hoping went back to the beginning. It's very Sarah."

"Every six words?"

Steven chuckled at the bemused question, "It was a running joke that Daniel came up with a new variation every six weeks."

Claire smiled, "So you can translate it?"

"It'll still take a few hours," Daniel told her, "Since we have to remember how the code developed to be able to get the full script but we know now what we're looking for."

Claire smiled proudly at them both, "Wonderful work. Do you want me to tell George now or wait until you've finished?"

"I'd prefer to wait," Daniel shrugged, "But he should know we have a plan."

Claire nodded, "I'll let him know."

"Mom," Daniel called as she started out, "Can you tell Sha're I won't be able to meet her for lunch?"

Claire frowned at her son, "Shouldn't you tell her yourself?"

Daniel winced, "Yeah, but if I talk to her I'll be distracted and…"

As he trailed off Claire rolled her eyes, "You owe both me and her."

"I know," Daniel smiled relieved as he turned back to work.

"Are you sure?" Hammond asked as Sha're explained her dream to him.

Sha're nodded, "The Goa'uld think my blood somehow holds the key to Tia'latha. I believe that is why they brought me back. And they want Dan'iel as he can translate any instructions they require. You must protect him."

"Sha're," Hammond said softly, "We will always protect your husband, I promise you but we also need to protect you."

She sighed in relief, "I have no knowledge of what they expect. It does mean that there is less work required than I expected regarding the symbol."

Hammond chuckled looking up as he heard a soft knock, "Claire, please come in."

Sha're turned slightly and smiled sweetly at her mother-in-law when she took a seat at her side.

"I come bearing good news," Claire told them, "Well mostly good."

Hammond chuckled, "And that is?"

"My son and soon to be son-in-law believe they have found the key to translating the information," Claire explained before turning to her daughter-in-law, "Daniel has asked that I let you know he won't be meeting you for lunch, Sha're."

Confusion covered the young woman's face and Claire took her hand, "He said you'd distract him if he told you himself."

Sha're nodded with a slight smirk, "That makes sense."

"Don't tell him you agree," she laughed, "He might think its okay to do more often."

Sam smiled as she saw Claire and Sha're sitting in the commissary eating lunch together. It wasn't that long ago Sha're would avoid being with Claire if possible, Sam wasn't quite sure what happened to change that but it was nice to see the two women comfortable in one another's company.

"Sam," Claire greeted her when she moved closer, "Join us."

Taking the seat beside Sha're Sam turned to them, "So, how are they doing? Are they any closer to solving the puzzle?"

Claire nodded, "Steven had an epiphany last night. He and Daniel were extremely excited when I saw them earlier."

Sha're smiled at the thought, "I hope they have found the answer. I want this to be ended, I hate that the Goa'uld are still trying to destroy our lives."

Claire reached out and squeezed Sha're's hand.

Sam sighed as the moment she began eating her sandwich a call came for them to go to the conference room. With a roll of her eyes she grabbed her mug of coffee and sandwich following her best friend's mother and wife out the room.

x

Jack watched Sha're walk into the conference room with Claire and Sam, he smiled to himself as she moved instantly to Daniel chuckling softly as he listened to their conversation.

"Did you eat today, husband?" Sha're asked pointedly.

Daniel rolled his eyes, "Yes. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you myself about lunch but I wanted to keep focussed."

"And you are unfocussed around me?" Sha're challenged, though Jack saw she wasn't able to stop smiling.

Daniel leaned in, "I just focus on you when I should be focussed on something else."

"Sweet words, my husband," she told him, "But you are not yet forgiven."

Jack watched Sha're's face as Daniel whispered in her ear, he loved watching those two together, loved seeing how different Daniel was these days.

"Sorry, I'm late," Hammond said as he entered the room, "Dr Jackson, Dr Rayner, you have managed to finish the translation?"

"Yes, sir," Daniel said as he pulled Sha're's seat out before sitting at her side.

"It took a while," Steven took over for him, "We also think we know what the Goa'uld are after and why they want Sha're."

Jack saw Sha're's hand reach out and grab Daniel's.

"Okay," Steven handed them all a file, "The information we have show that Osiris and Isis want to find Tia'latha as it seems to be a weapons cache."

"Though we're not sure if weapon is the right translation," Daniel interjected.

Steven nodded at him before turning back to the others, "There appears to be quite a bit of mythology surrounding this place. Once we got some information Daniel managed to find more in his library."

"Do you want me to take over?" Daniel asked.

Steven rolled his eyes, "If you think you can tell it better."

x

Daniel squeezed his wife's hand before he moved to take over from Steven.

"From what we can gather Osiris and Isis are looking for this place because they think it's filled with weapons," Daniel began, "The story goes that there were several guardians to this mythical city and one day it was attacked by the Gould or some other group of bad guys. Almost all the Guardians left, scattering across the galaxy and hiding amongst the local populations. From what we know they then locked the entrance. We think with an ancient riddle or script."

"Something you would be able to translate," Sha're said softly.

"Why did they bring Sha're back?" Jack asked, making them all turn to him.

Daniel glanced at his wife worriedly.

"Blackmail," Steven took over, "We assume they would try to use Sha're as bait and then threaten her so he would translate the inscription."

"Sha're," Hammond spoke up, "You need to tell him."

Daniel frowned confused, "Tell me what?"

Sha're glanced at Hammond who nodded.

"Let's take a break," he said

Sha're licked her lips nervously taking Daniel's hand in hers waiting until they were alone, "When General Hammond asked me about the symbol I realised I had been thinking of it a great deal. I dreamed last night, although I think it was a memory of when I was awoken. They pricked my finger so I would bleed and touched the blood to a device with the symbol upon it. It glowed and they said that I was the one."

Daniel frowned for a second, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I did not want to give you any more to worry about," she told him, stopping him from speaking, "Not until I had looked into it a little."

"Sha're…" Daniel started to pace

"I was going to tell you at lunch," she said watching him.

Daniel spun and stared at her, "Hold on, you're blaming me for not meeting you? It's my fault you didn't share something this big with me because I was trying to translate something that we need so we can go back to Abydos?"

Sha're stood to face him, "I wanted to explore this a little more before I told you. I wanted to make sure there was something to tell you and I will not let you berate me for not wanting to put you under any more pressure."

Daniel stared at his wife, seeing the steel in her dark brown eyes. He knew that look well; it always told him that he was being an ass. He dropped his eyes from hers.

"My dearest husband," Sha're touched his cheek making him look back up at her, "I know you love me. I know how scared you are that we will be separated again. You have to trust me."

"I do," he whispered pulling her close, they kissed for a moment before Daniel pushed her back and stared at her.

"What?" Sha're asked bemused.

"They scattered to all the planets and settled amongst the local population," Daniel quoted from his translation, "Having children." He stopped and grinned at her, "I always knew you were special."

Sha're shook her head and kissed him shocked when he pushed her back again staring at her.

"What?" she asked confused.

"You have to come with us," Daniel whispered worriedly, "You're the key."

Sitting in his office Hammond scanned the reports he was meant to be reading. He was filling up time before he had to watch his premier team step through the Gate once more. This time with the addition of Sha're Jackson.

He looked up at the knock on the door.

"Is there something wrong, Dr Jackson?" Hammond asked motioning him in.

Daniel took in a few breaths as he sat, "Once we've finished this, Sha're and I will be moving back to Abydos."

"Dr Jackson…"

"I know that this is sudden," Daniel cut him off, "And I know that there will be arguments against it but," he paused taking a deep breath, "My wife needs to go home. And I have to go with her."

"I understand," Hammond told him, "I will do everything I can to make this as easy for you. I do have one question for now."

Daniel waited expectantly for the other man to speak.

"Does your mother know?"

Daniel laughed nervously, "Not yet. I don't want to tell her until we had this mess sorted. Sir, please don't tell her. I will do it but I can't until I'm sure this is finished."

Hammond nodded, "Very well, Dr Jackson. I'll begin the arrangements for your move and start working on how we can ensure both your safety as well as your continued assistance. You may be moving but there is no reason you can't consult."

"Thank you, Sir," Daniel said sincerely before he left to get ready for the mission.

Jack stood waiting for the members of his team to join him in the Gateroom. He winced slightly when he saw Claire walk in knowing exactly what this conversation would be about.

"I'll watch over them both," he pre-empted her.

Claire smiled, "I do know that. I just…

"Want to make sure," Jack nodded, "I get it. To be honest I am not ecstatic about bringing Sha're along on this trip. But it's not my call."

Voices made him look up. Jack watched the couple walk in dressed identically in green talking softly. Daniel saw his mother and grimaced slightly, he was about to speak but Claire just squeezed his hand quickly.

"Be careful," she told them, "I'll be working with Steven."

Daniel smiled, "We will. I promise."

Jack watched as Claire and Sha're embraced quickly before the older woman left them.

"You've not told her yet," Jack said softly while Claire walked up to the control room, "Have you?"

Daniel shook his head looking guilty. Sha're slipped her arm through her husband's comfortingly hugging it to her.

"Dan'iel feels it is better for us to wait until this is finished before we tell everyone," Sha're said softly, "As do I."

Giving her a quick nod Jack spotted the final two members of the team walking on. It was time to go.

Daniel blinked in the bright sunlight when they exited the Stargate. He could feel Sha're just at his side, she had walked through with him without a second hesitation and he was determined that once they'd done this he would take her home.

"Okay," Jack started only to be cut off as the moment they all stepped off the platform the Stargate was on bright light filled their vision.

Daniel grabbed his wife as the light faded before gasping when he saw a large golden wall in front of them covered in symbols.

"Great," Jack snapped from nearby, "We're in Daniel's heaven and the Stargate is gone."

Daniel ignored his friend as he stepped forward, his fingers sliding across the symbols.

"This is it," he told them, "This is the entrance to Tia'latha."

"I was hoping you would say that," a new voice interrupted them.

They spun to find Isis and Osiris standing there, with about ten Jaffa standing behind them.
