I went with Daniel's POV on this one because I didn't want to get into the gory details of labour and scare off my male readers. ;)
Epilogue
Daniel's POV
"Oh, I hate you, Daniel Jackson!"
"I know, sweetheart, I know." I croon as I wipe the sweat from Vala's forehead. I can't help the smile that lights my face as she swears at me in Goa'uld, some of the expletives are ones even I can't translate. I've lost count of the number of times she's told me she hates me in the last six hours and I don't even care that she might be breaking my hand in her vice-like grip. The euphoria I am feeling right now makes up for everything.
"You're doing great, Vala." Carolyn says. "One more push and we'll have a new member of the SGC family."
Vala grunts and does as requested. Suddenly a shrill cry fills the room and Vala goes slack in exhaustion.
"You did it, baby." I say with tears in my eyes as I kiss her head.
"No, we did it, darling." A peaceful smile blooms on her face and I can't keep from kissing her. As I pull back, I see the nurse bringing me a tiny bundle and I grin again as I take it in my arms.
"Congratulations, you two." Carolyn says with a rare smile gracing her features. "You have a little girl."
I look down in delight at the little pink infant in my arms and lean in to kiss her cheek. "Hello, little one, I'm your daddy. And this beautiful, amazing lady is your mommy." I lay the tiny baby in Vala's arms and take a seat next to her on the bed, wrapping my arms around my two girls.
"Hello, darling." Vala coos quietly to our daughter. "Welcome home."
