Five Times Vala Got Married
Tanquin
She met Tanquin right after she'd been freed from Qetesh while she was still recovering with the Tok'ra. He'd just been freed from his own Goa'uld hell and they became a lifeline for each other. Neither wanted to take a Tok'ra symbiote so they'd eventually been left to find their own way in the universe. They married on a whim, hoping to help each other get over their shared past. Instead of sharing their experiences, however, all they saw when they looked at one another was the evil they'd witnessed as hosts. One night, Vala took off and never looked back. And, as far as she knew, Tanquin never bothered to look for her. She sometimes wonders what became of him but feels she's better off not knowing.
Andro
When she told Mitchell that she'd married a travelling entertainer, she hadn't been lying...entirely. She only lied about which number husband he was. And she hadn't told him the entire truth about the circumstances leading up to the union. She'd been working in a smuggling ring at the time and her partner had been trying to find a more clandestine way to move the merchandise. One night they'd stumbled upon Andro's little band of players and the poor man had fallen instantly for her charm. She'd wriggled her way into the troop, claiming to be a singer. It had worked and soon she was travelling and performing with them. She'd used her "connections" to land gigs for the group, at the same time being certain they coincided with her next drop-off or pick-up. It had worked out well for a while until some of the others became suspicious of her activities. As a way to prove her loyalty to the troop, she married Andro. They'd been happy for a year or so before it was time for her to move on. She grabbed what little she owned and took off, once again not looking back.
Tomin
After Andro, she promised herself she'd never marry again and she'd held true to that for years. But that was before she found herself pregnant in the Ori Galaxy. She'd hated the idea of being forced into another unwanted marriage but knew it was her only option. Tomin was a kind, gentle man before the Ori got their hands on him and they'd been content. In fact, she felt she could have been happy with him in a different setting. Once he'd been healed, though, everything changed. He changed. Then she'd discovered the truth behind her pregnancy and knew she had to get out. She couldn't believe how relieved she'd been when Daniel found her on that ship. This time, though, she couldn't help looking back. She'd wanted to save Tomin. She may not have been in love with him but she did care. That had never happened to her before. In the end, and after much loss, she'd finally gotten through to him but they'd both known too much had happened for them to ever be together again. This time they'd both walked away and, while Vala still looked back on their time together with fondness, she didn't regret the split.
Cameron
This was one of those accidental marriages that sometimes occur when you're on an SG team. They'd gone to PX3-something-something-something, and found themselves in the middle of a harvest festival. Somehow, she and Cameron had gotten separated from the rest from the rest of their team and, of course, they'd been asked to perform a ritual. Neither one of them really understood the language (and both were just a bit tipsy) so they'd gone along with it. What harm could it really do? About an hour later, they found out. Once Daniel, Sam, and Teal'c finally located them, they told their teammates exactly what had happened. Sam and Teal'c seemed amused by their news but Daniel was angry. Apparently, they'd been put through a marriage and fertility ritual without realising it. She and Cameron had thought the situation hilarious but Daniel hadn't. He'd demanded the elders dissolve the marriage immediately. They were divorced within a few hours of the initial ceremony and back on Earth shortly after. Of course, the entire SGC found out and called them Colonel and Mrs. Mitchell for weeks until Daniel's constant glare started making everyone wary. The joke died down after a while but, to this day, Cameron sometimes calls her "the little woman". Never in front of Daniel, though.
Daniel
She'd known practically from the moment she met him that Daniel was the marrying kind, yet she'd pursued him anyway. She'd told herself a quick romp would suffice but Daniel was having none of that. He'd resisted her advances and that only made her more determined. She'd never met a man who would turn down sex with no commitment. He was an anomaly and she figured her need to be with him was because of the challenge he presented. She'd had no idea she was falling in love, as she'd never experienced the emotion before. Once she realised what was happening, though, she'd tried to run. She couldn't risk setting herself up for that kind of pain. But Daniel wouldn't let her escape. He'd stopped her before she could get away and forced her to tell him what had her so scared. In the heat of anger, she'd confessed her feelings, hoping he'd turn tail and run. Instead, he surprised her by reciprocating and that scared her more than rejection. She wasn't made to love, or be loved, but Daniel made it seem so easy. He'd calmed her fears, allowed her to set the pace of their relationship. When he proposed a year later, he first instinct was to run. But, shocking even herself, she didn't. The very thought of leaving Earth, of leaving Daniel caused her physical pain and she knew she couldn't live without him. So, for the first time in her life, she chose to take the risk. Even though this was her fifth marriage, it was the first one where her heart was actually on the line. It was her first real one. Seven years later, she still has no regrets. She's married to the man she loves beyond all reason, has two beautiful children with a third on the way, and has no urge to run. This time she would not be running off in the dead of night. This time it was forever.
The End
