Changing
Expectations

SUMMARY: Kath and Daniels relationship causes more
problems when she comes back for a physical…and THAT is the least of SG-1s
worries…..

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

Procedure
called for all long term off world teams to report in to the SGC infirmary for
a full physical every six months. They
were to be kept in isolation for a few days and were to be submitted to every
test under the sun. Of course if they
felt unwell before the scheduled time they were to report to the SGC
immediately.

And
so it came to pass that six months to the day, after her departure Captain
Kathryn O'Neill returned to the SGC.

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

Captain
Evans knocked at the door to Kaths office briefly before entering; She was
hanging upside down from a chin-up bar doing sit-ups. "Paul, please come in." She said sarcastically.

He
could see the muscles in her legs quivering as they rebelled against prolonged
use. "How many you done?"

&q'>"88…89…90…91…92…93…94…95…96…97…98…99…100." She got down and began to do stretches on a
gym mat.

"You
may want to have a shower and change, the SGC have been in touch, they want you
to go there."

"Shit,
did they say why?"

"Time
for your physical."

Kath
walked into her en-suite.

Paul
Evans sat down on her desk, trying to ignore the sound of clothes being removed
and of water hitting bare skin. Now he
was ed oed off, for the last 6 months he had been getting her to trust him and
now she was going back to Earth where she would see Dr Jackson which would
upset her again. 'Everything I've
worked for is ruined, Jeez.'

"Penny
for them!"

"Huh? What?"

"Paul
you were miles away."

"Sorry
sir"

"Anyway
you're in charge until I get back."

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

Kath
stepped through the Stargate alone, it was the first time she had used the gate
in like three months. The last being a
trip to Vorash to see ‘herself’ born, Sam had been having problems with the
later stages of her pregnancy so she had given birth with the Tok'Ra, only
Janet, Jack and Kath had been present.
Then Kath had held herself, which was a surreal experience. She had chosen to spend her downtime on her
planet.

SG-1
were in the control room, when Kath had stepped through the gate as she had
about a year ago. This time the
defiance in her stance wasn't natural, it was a front she was putting up to
hide behind.

Janet
led her into the isolation ward and busied herself taking blood and other
samples. "Aren't you going to ask
me how he is?"

"I
can't allow myself that luxury!"

"Why,
scared you'll lose control?"

"Just
do your tests Dr Fraisier!"

p;

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

4
Days later

Kath
had had little or no time to think since she had left; she had been so busy
setting up her base that she had managed to keep her pain at bay. Except her nights when she had dreams of the
man she loved. But now here she was
trapped in a small isolation cell with nothing to do, no computer, no TV, she
could no longer hide from herself.

The
door swung open while Kath was lying on the bed with her eyes closed,
"Janet can I go now?"

"You're
off your game!" Daniel remarked
quietly.

"Will he think me weak…

If I tremble when I
speak?"

Kath
spun around to face him, nonchalantly she said, "I knew it was you."

"And
you usually call me Janet?"

He
came and sat on the bed next to her, tears filled her eyes. "Dan don't!"

"Kath
I love you!"

"Please…!" The anguin hin her voice tore at him.

"Please
what?…Please kiss me?…(he kisses her)…please touch me…(he touches
her)…please…"

They
kissed passionately, both were crying.

And
as the saying goes, one thing led to another.

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

Kath
lay in Daniels arms long enough for her pulse to stop racing, she took the
moment to savour the familiar warmth of his arms wrapped around her. She looked into his trusting brown eyes
knowing she would have to break his heart again.

" I still recall the words you said to me,

It's what you did not say
that sets me free.

Now how can I find peace of
mind,

When you keep coming back
again?

It's not ok for you to play
this game of seesaw with my head.

Now it hurts too much

And it hits too hard,

Don't call me,

Don't write,

Don't show up in the middle
of the night.

You know that we needed,
some time and space,

To breathe in.

So now I say the things I
want to say

Sometimes it's better
letting go this way

I'll always know down in my
soul

We really have so far to go

I've given all I had to give

Now it's time for me to live

And I won't look back

And I won't regret

Though it hurts like hell

Someday I will forget"

She
was crying as she dressed and tossed him his clothes. He had scarcely had time to dress before she whacked the back of
the door.

The
grill was slid open and the sleepy guard looked in at her, "What can I do
for you ma'am?"

"Dr
Jackson was just leaving, please see to it that he makes it to his
destination!"

"But
I thought….?"

"You
thaught wrong…Carry my omy orders Airman!"

"Yes
ma'am, Dr Jackson if you will come with me!"

Kath
slowly closed the door, leaning her back agains she she sobbed brokenly. She couldn't believe that she had allowed
that to happen. "How stupid am
I?" She muttered.

There
was a knock at the door, "What now?!!!…..Oh hi Janet"

"I
thaught you might want to leave now."

"Can
I go home?"

"No
but you can come to the briefing room."

"Whoope-doo!"

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

When
Janet escorted her slightly dishevelled patient into the briefing room, SG-1
were already there, Janet noted that Daniel was also dishevelled and filed that
thaught away for future consideration.

Kath
closed her eyes hiding her pain deep within herself; she sat down as General
Hammond walked in.

"Doctor,
you called this meeting. If you would
make it as quick as possible."

Kath
looked up and raised an eye in in Janets direction.

"We
recently found a scanning device on P39-010, we have been using it with every
success and I want to point out some interesting things from Captain O'Neills
scans.

First
allow me to recap, a young girl comes through the Stargate we have medical
reason to believe she is from the future, she is the child of two of our
officers, she has a unique ability to heal herself. This was possibly linked to the scans I ran of her brain which
showed she uses over 40 percent of her brain, the girl possessed a phenominal
intelligence, unheard of refspeespeeds, an uncommonly high level of hand to eye
co-ordination. Perfect eyesight,
excellent night-vision…Does anyone see where I'm going with this."

Kath
smirked, "You're gonna enter me in the Guinness book of records?"

"Captain!" The General barked, Kath had her fathers'
habit of being sarcastic when rattled.
"…Continue Doctor."

"With
the new scanner I pinpointed certain places in her DNA that showed something we
are only now becoming familiar with.
The scan shows that some of her genes have been resequenced."

"Like
Genetic engineering?" Sam asked
aghast.

"I
scanned your baby and could find no trace of the same effect, this and some
other findings, lead me to believe that the genetic resequencing occurred after
her birth. Possibly during the time she
lived with some alien races. Her
natural abilities were augmented until she reached a level at which her genes
would have degraded if anymore information was changed."

There
was silence in the room.

"I
also uncovered a number of implants throughout her body which were undetectable
to conventional scans."

"Janet",
Kath said, "where did you say you found this scanning device?" The low but urgent question made Janet
answer.

Kath
looked shocked, "that's what I thaught you said. But there was no device uncovered on that planet, the KGD wasn't
discovered until 2021 on P69-894. What
is going on?"

"What
are you talking about Captain?"

"Sorry
Sir, don't mind me. You were saying
Janet…"

"You
didn't expect us to find that out did you?" Jack asked.

Kath
raised her chin and steadily met his gaze, her head held high and her bearing
firm and military.

"We
must have spotted it after it happened.
In the future I mean."
Janet was always overconfident of her medical staff.

Kath
began to pace the room and ran a hand through her already tousled hair. She took a deep breath and looked back at
them. Jesus I can't concentrate, why did I let myself make love to him…….

"The
scanning device you found is called a KGD, it is a device manufactured by a
race who lived on a planet called Ro'aCk.
They were wiped out a millennia ago.
The device was recovered in 2021 on Ro'aCk. There is only one in existence and it had been buried by a
landslide for millennia. So how did it
come to be on P39-010 in 2001?"

"Are
you sure it was buried for that period of time?" Daniels voice was anything but steady but he could still be
professional.

"I
led the mission that recovered it."

"As
a lieutenant?"

"….SG-29
brought a virus back from a planet, it spread through all of the SGC personnel
except me and two Jaffa…"

"You
have Jaffa working for you?"
Hammond asked incredulously.

"…'Brave
New World' Sir!…

A
week earlier we had dialled P69-894 we picked up some weird energy signals
somewhat reminiscent of Goa'uld healing devices…we had left it alone but people
were dying. It may seem weird but at
the time 90percent of the SGC personnel were unconscious so I was in charge, I
decided to go to P69-894 myself. Uncovered
the device and brought it back."

"Why
did you tell us that? Won't that change
the future?"

"The
future ain't carved in stone, I changed history once but nothing I have done
could account for this. Something
fucking weird is going on! The future
is changing anyway."

"What
if…?" Jack stopped and shook his
head.

"Go
on Jack we value your input." Sam
smiled kindly at her husband. >

"Ya
ever get time to watch Star Trek?"
Jacks question was directed at Kath.

"I
grew up with you as my father, what do you think?"

"Couldn't
you scan for time…..Anomalies…rifts…tears in subspace…temporal…whatsits?"

"Huh?"

"They
got….them things…?" Jack was even
getting frustrated with himself.

"Slow
down and think logically Dad."

"In
Star Trek when they travel in time there are these things they can scan
for….particles….uh…COSMONAUGHT PARTICLES!!"

"…Chronoton
particles?"

"That's
it!"

"Hmmm,
looks like I'm gonna be busy."

"Can
you do it?

"I
dunno! I'm not even sure that there is
such a thing…"

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

the
group around the table continued to ask her questions, to most of which her
answers were 'no'. It would help if she
had had her research notes from her previous time travel experiments, but she
didn't have them. She was also trying to
act professional, when all she wanted was to throw Daniel down on the table and
fuck him until he couldn't walk for a week.
Sam decided to change the subject.

"So….about
this genetic resequencing. You must
have agreed to it?"

Kaths
response was a shrug.

"Sam,
you aren't asking for me, you are asking to find out what she may do in the
future.

Look,
I came here and changed the past, now my past and your future are fluid. My actions cannot account for some of the
things that are happening, something else is going on."

"And
you don't know what?"

"I
have no fucking idea."

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

A
month later

"Okay,
look after my daughter."

Janet
walked over to him, "Relax Colonel, I trained the nurse myself."

The
nurse walked off with baby Katie in her arms.

"So
Sam how's it feel to be on your first mission in 6 month?"

"Strange,
I don't want to leave her but I know she'll be fine…even so…anyway how're you
holding up?"

Daniel
looked away, Jack scowled, in the months since Kath had left the first time he
had been getting on much better with Daniel but would not permit their
relationship to be mentioned.

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

Daniel
sat in the bar where he had taken Kath on that first 'date', he was spending
most of his downtime there. He was
already drunk when he felt a hand rest softly on his shoulder.

"Talk
to me Daniel." Janet said.

"What
about? The weather perhaps?"

Shar'aes death. The medical part of her
brain warned her that he was close to snapping but a larger part was screaming
at her. Why has no one ever loved me that much? She placed a hand on his arm trying to ignore the thoughts
running through her head.

You've always liked him,
make your move

A man capable of such deep
emotion will surely be a great lover

Go for it, there was
something going on between you before she came along.

Janet
led him to her car and drove him home, he then invited her in before speaking.

Kath
was sitting on a hill watching the sunset, her mind wasn't on the spectacular
view but as always with Dan. A hand
touched her shoulder, giving her comfort.

She
turned towards Paul, he saw the despair in her eyes. She reached out and hugged him giving into the comfort he was
offering.

Pawasnwasn't unaffected by her closeness but he knew this was not the time to make a move. He wiped the tears from her face.

"hey
Kath, you're getting my shirt wet!"

She
sat up suddenly, "Sorry…"

"I'm
only kidding," he pulled her
closer, "Do you wanna talk about it? '
Cos frankly…sir…you look like shit!"

Kath
laughed softly.

"That's
better."

Kath
smiled faintly at him, "Thank you!"

He
reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of the enlisted mens'
home-brewed alcohol and offered it to her.

Kath
drank deeply and they spent the next hour passing the bottle back and
forth. "If I didn't know better
Paul, I'd say you were trying to get me drunk."

"….knowing
my luck, you'd pass out!"

he
looked surprised as she smiled broadly for the first time since her return from
Earth. She turned to fully face him.pan>

&quoat'sat's
the story with you Paul? Why do you
seem to know just what to say? Men
aren't exactly known for their empathy….?"

He
looked straight into her eyes, "I know what its like to love someone you
can't have!"

Kath
knew instantly he was talking about her, she lowered her eyes acknowledging but
not responding to the emotion in his gaze.

He
could have kicked himself when he realised how uncomfortable he had made her.

"I'm
sorry, I shouldn't have….."

She
grabbed his lapel and pulled him to her for a passionate kiss. He gasped in shock as her tongue forced
between his lips and she pushed him to the ground.

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

Daniel
pulled Janet to him, Janet kissed him with years of suppressed passion and
somewhat drunkenly he responded. As her
desire mounted he pulled her onto the sofa.
Janet gasped as he nibbled a little too hard on her nipple, he was
inadvertently being a littlegh wgh when he was drunk.

He
pulled up her skirt and entered her with his fingers, she gasped at the sudden
sharp pain but soon her desire overpowered any other thoughts. Daniel pressed her further into the sofa and
with little finesse he began to thrust into her. Janet began to moan his name as her orgasm built up slowly. As he felt her body shuddering around him,
he let go…

"Oh
God Daniel….Jeesus…"

"Oh
KATH!!!!!!!!!!"

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

Paul
was kissing her back.

Kath
froze, he stopped what he was doing reluctantly.

"What's
wrong?"

"Paul
I'm sorry…I can't do this!"

sphere."

Kath
walked through the doorway with the airwoman falling in behind her. Swiftly she composed her thoughts as she
walked towards the communication centre.

"Kath…"

"ARE
YOU?"

"Well
you don't have the best track record."

"Neither
does my father and I've heard you say that he's one of the best officers you
have worked with. I'm the best chance
of their survival, Apophis wants revenge and he'll get it."

"Do
you have a battle plan?"

"An
old one but still a good one. But if I
told ya, I'd have t' kill ya." and Hammond reluctantly gave his
permission. After all she was right, he
had no choice.

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

Apophis
had made the mistake of thinking that no-one would know where his new secret
base was and so his security was a little lax at the Stargate, but getting into his strong-hold would be
another thing altogether.

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

Kath
and five other soldiers stepped through the Stargate dressed in confiscated
Serpent Guard armour, with faces hidden and military bearing - no one paid them
any heed. Kath led the way down a path
towards a medieval style castle set on the top of a hill. As they passed some trees a soldier from
either side jumped into hiding. Theyl wal walked a little further, Lieutenant Dillon took position beside the path,
she was lookout.

Kath
quickly stripped off her armour until she was clothed in exotic garments, like
those worn by rich concubines. A thin
veil covered her features, the remaining members of her team flanked her and
they walked towards the castle.

"Are
you sure this'll work?" Airman
Colins whispered.

"If
you have a better idea…?"

They
walked right into Apophis' throne room, Colins knelt before Apophis. "Myd…A d…A gift from Osiris, a host for
your new queen." He got back up
and moved to stand behind Kath, trying not to look at SG-1 and Janet tethered
to the side wall.

Apophis
stepped closer and examined Kaths body through the revealing clothes, she had
her head lowered respectfully.
"Does she please you, my queen?"

The
Jaffa with his queen stepped closer, the symbionte protruded from her
body. Obviously contemplating this very
choice morsel, Apophis looked pleased, perhaps Osiris desired peace afterall. Suddenly the creature screeched and returned
to its Jaffa. Apophis was furious.

"She
is with child, Osiris insults me, Apophis, Lord of the System Lords. He will regret that."
p>

Apophis
turned to leave the room, but thaught better of it. He reached out a hand towards her and she saw his eyes glow as he
activated the hand-device. Her face
contorted in a grimace of pain, she fell to her knees anmentments later slumped
unbreathing to the floor. Apophis
turned her over with his foot and examined his handiwork, "So the traitors
gift lies dead in my throne rooow sow shall I tell him of this…?"

A
serpent guard ran into the room, "My lord, there was an explosion at the
Chappa'ai."

Apophis's
eyes flashed, "show me." He
left and most of the serpent guard followed, few were left in the
building.

A
few moments passed and a crash and staff weapon fire could be heard from the
side of the building. Lieutenant Colins
turned and told the other serpent guards to check it out, they left the room at
a run. "Bryan secure this
room…", he then raced to Kaths prone body and shook her.

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

Jack
could barely contain his rage as Apophis killed a pregnant woman for no reason,
the rest of SG-1 was just as disgusted, Apophis seemed to sense this and
glanced at them with a satisfied look on his face.

When
Apophis suddenly left the room, Jack redoubled his efforts to break out of his
chains. If Osiris was attacking,
Apophis and his guards would be distracted, there would be no help from Earth
so they would have to get themselves out of this mess.

----

Janet
watched the serpent guard shake the dead woman on the floor. That much exposure to a hand device caused
serious neurological damage that would be immediately fatal. After the man called Bryan barricaded the
doors he grabbed his staff weapon and began to free them.

--

Kath
gasped for breath, panting as if she had run a few miles. She weakly began to cough up blood and
rolled onto her side. Colins pulled off
his armour, standing there in fatigues.

"You
okay, Sir?" He asked frantically.

SG-1
walked towards them, Janet was concerned but was very confused. She knew that the woman should be dead.

Kath
pulled off the veil slowly so she wouldn't move her aching head, "Ya got
an aspirin?"

Colins
chuckled in relief, "Good to have you back Sir! How do you feel?"

SG-1
were shocked and silent, for more than one reason.

"I've
got a killer headache." Her speech
was slurred, "Gimme a hand up."

Colins
grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet, having to catch her as she was so
dizzy she almost fell.

Still
supported by Colins arm Kath td tod to SG-1, "Hey guys, miss me?"

They
just gaped at her, "Bryan we need to get a move on or we'll miss the
rendeveux.

Colonel
O'Neill, I hearby relinquish command of my team to you…" He just looked at
her, surprised by the formality, "'cos …I'm gonna pass out."

Sure
enough she fainted.

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

The
Infirmary - a few days later

"As
far as I can tell she is in a coma, the only thing keeping her alive are some
of the implants that my scans detected.
The hand device caused serious neurological damage to her brain, I have
no idea if she will ever wake up."

"Janet,
please help her!"

"I'm
sorry Daniel I don't know how, I've tried every technique and nothing has
helped. Perhaps we could contact the
Nox or the Tok'Ra?" the last part
was directed at General Hammond.

"We
are trying Doctor but unfortunately both of those races are reluctant to help
her because she is not supposed to be in this time anyway.

"perhaps…"

"Yes
Doctor Jackson?"

"Janet,
one of those implants is a neural interface…?

"Yes
it is. What are you suggesting?"

"perhaps
we could interface directly with her mind…maybe a neural connection might
repair some of the damage."

Daniel
was absolutely desperate to help Kath, he had betrayed her and he would stop at
nothing to make it up to her.

"We
could use the Tok'Ra memory recall devices and with some adjustments they could
enable us to create a link. However we
could make her worse…" Sam was
slightly more confident now that she could help.

"I
don't know how she could get any worse."
Janet said flatly, giving her permission for the experiment.

"I
think Kath would want us to try, after all she has saved our lives at least
twice, we owe her big time…" Jack
paused and looked at Daniel and then at Sam, "Danny Boy, what do you
think?"

Daniel
smiled weakly at Jack, "It's what she would want and I think it is worth
the try."

Janet
looked at all of them, "Remember that it could kill her or any one who
tries this!"

Daniel
remembered her smile, the way she tossed her hair and the laugh she gave when
she teased him.

He
remembered the way she made him listen to music that she cared about and how
she had driven three thousand miles just to get him a birthday present.

" It was a Monday when
my lover told me,

Don't pay the er wer with
love only.

What could I say to you,

except that I love you

And I'd give my life for
yours?"

"Sam
can you get started on the modifications straight away?" He asked in a command manner that would have
been a credit to West Point. Everyone
left the room, he had nothing to do but sit at her bedside.

"I
love you sweetheart."

Daniel
softly began to sing a song he had once played for her.

"If you knew how lonely
my life has been

And how long I've been so
alone.

If you knew,

I wanted someone to come
along

And change my life the way
you've done."

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

Daniel
hadn't known that he had fallen asleep until he was woken by loud alarm
bells. A crash team rushed in to Kaths
bedside, pushing him away they shocked her with paddles and injected her with
something. Janet came and led him from
the room, it was just as the team were about to give up when Kaths vital signs
settled into a rhythm, albeit an unsteady one.

Daniel
was collapsed in one of the chairs outside Kaths room, Jack and Sam were inside
saying their goodbyes.

He
remembered the look on Janets face as she had told him that it was only a
matter of time…

He
remembered the tears down Sams cheeks as she explained the neural connection
was going to be more dangerous than she had originally thaught…

He
remembered the apologetic look on Hammonds face when he told him that he had
forbidden Sam from trying the experiment, because of the level of danger
involved…

He
remembered the blood pouring from the Generals nose after his fist had made
contact…

And
he remembered Jack squeezing his shoulder in comfort and finally in acceptance…

"Well
not if I can help it!!!"

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

When
Daniel stepped across the threshold of Kaths room, she was fading slowly but
surely. When Sam and Jack saw him they
gave her a final kiss before getting up and leaving the room giving him the
privacy to say goodbye. He closed and
locked the door behind them and walked to Kaths bedside.

He
kissed her and placed one of the small Tok'Ra devices on her temple, placing
one on his own he activated the link.

He
fell against the bed as a mrousrous pain shot through his body, a pain which he
recognised, a pain that is caused by a Goa'uld hand device. Kath was still suffering from its residual
effects, Daniel collapsed into a world of pain and forgotten memories.

Kath
could see the world getting brighter, she opened her eyes wincing as the light
was bright enough to hurt. She was
somewhat shocked to find herself alive, she had expected to die. She could feel Daniel next to her and fought
to turn her head, she felt a jagged pain in her temple. As soon as she saw the device Daniel was
ing ing she knew exactly what he had done.
Turning her head had sapped her strength but she managed to press the
emergency call button.

Daniel
wasn't breathing.

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

The
door was solid metal, it would take the troops too long to break it down. Kath summoned up every ounce of strength she
possessed and placed a hand on his head, reaching out with all the power she
had learnt from the Nox she concentrated on healing the damage to his
mind.

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

The
next time Kath woke, Daniel was sitting at her bedside with Jack holding tstilstill weak archaeologist upright. She
briefly smiled before slipping into unconsciousness again.

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

Kath
was sitting up in her infirmary bed pleading with Janet to let her go, which
made everyone think she felt better (except Janet of course, who commanded that
she stay). The room was crowded with
half the SGC there to wish hell.

"Kath
hon…I've been thinking…"

"'Bout
what?"

"Maybe
I should do the decent thing and marry you." This all came out in a rush as though he had been practising in
the mirror (which he had and on Teal'c who merely raised an eyebrow
incredulously). ;-)

"Dan
was that a proposal?"

He
shifted his feet nervously, "…yes…"

"Dan,
honey…I want you on your knees."

He
smiled suggestively and winked at her, she rolled her eyes at him.

He
knelt next to the bed, to the sound of catcalls and cheers.

"Kath
honey, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife? Because I can't live without you and because I love you tha than
anything else."

"Hmmm…let
me consider this for a moment…"

she
smiled at him and simply said, "Yes."

Daniel
slipped a beautiful ring made of Naquadah and trinium onto her finger, (A strange combination, but nothing else
could be as suitable).

"First
I need to tell you something…" he looked down at the floor, "I slept
with Janet."

Jack
stepped forward ready to crush the other man.
Kath stopped him by raising a hand towards him…"I know." She said simply.

"How..?"

"Let's
call it womens intuition…I also have a confession to make…" Daniel raised
an eyebrow, "I kissed Paul."

"I
love you Kath!"

"I
love you too, ya Dumbshit."

always be there.

I'd give anng ang and
everything,

And I will always care.

Through weakness and
strength,

Happiness and sorrow

For better, for worse,

I will love you with every
beat of my heart."

Softly
a guitar begins to play, and she begins to sway with the music.

Her hips swayed slowly as
she moved, knowing he was watching every movement. Every gesture no matter how innocent was provocative. As she reached him he grasped her hand and kissed
it.

" From this moment, life has begun,

From this moment, you are
the one.

Right beside you is where I
belong,

From this moment on."

He
moved to take her into his arms and they fit perfectly as they began to dance
to the sound of her voice.

" From this moment, I
have been blessed.

I live only for your
happiness,

And for your love I'd give
my last breath.

From this moment on."

He reached again for her
hand

" I give my hand to
you,

With all my heart.

Can't wait to live my life
with you,

Can't wait to start.

You and I will never be
apart.

My dreams came true

Because of you."

He slipped a beautiful ring
onto her finger

She
raises her hand to her lips and while looking him in the eyee kie kisses the
ring with all the emotion in her heart and soul.

"From this moment, as
long as I live

Daniel
smiles as the spotlight illuminates the hieroglyphs on his ring

" You're the reason I
believe in love

And you're the answer to my
prayers

From up above.

All we need is just the two
of us.

My dreams came true,

Because of you.

From this moment, as long as
I live

I will love you,

I promise you this.

There is nothing I wouldn't
give.

From this moment,

I will love you as long as I
live

From this moment on."

He leans towards her and
they kiss, softly at first but then more passionately.

&;

Her
lips move over his as they spin around the room.

"I now pronounce you
man and wife."

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

"So
what are you going to call my granddaughter?" Jack asked with a twinkle in his eye.

"Let
me guess, you have some suggestions?"

"Yeah…Sam!" Jack smiled at his wife.

"Anyone
else?"

"Kath! I got a idea!" Cassandra came running over.

"Hi
Cass!" Cassandra placed a hand on
Kaths swollen stomach to feel her baby kick.

"How
about Buffy or Willow? Tara? Cordelia?
Faith? Dawn? Celine? Shania? Meredith?"

"How
about you stop to breathe?"

"Ha
ha very funny." Cass took her hand
away.

Kath
heard a voice behind her, "Hi Mrs Jackson!"

She
smiled as she felt her husbands arms around her body, "That’s Captain
Jackson to you!"

He
leaned over and kissed her neck softly, she entwined her fingers in the hair at
the nape of his neck and captured his lips in a passionate kiss, Cass started
to giggle.

"C'mon
don't keep us in suspense." Sam
said.

"We're
waiting for Hammond."

"I'm
here!" he walked over to her. "Permission to kiss your wife Dr
Jackson?"

"granted,
sir!"

Hammond
chuckled and leaned over to give her a peck on the cheek, "I just popped
in on your little one, Sargent O'brian is looking after her well."

Kath
smiled and somewhat pointedly looked at her husband.

This
good-natured banter kept up for some time.

The
hostess walked over, "excuse me Mrs Jackson, someone just phoned up to
wish you two good luck. He said he was
your brother." The hostess walked
off having passed on her message.

Everyone
stared at Kath who had suddenly gone extremely pale.

"…Adam…"
she whispered beneath her breath.

"Brother?" Jack demanded to know, "you haven't
mentioned a brother before!"

Janet
had heard this, "Sam can't have anymore children…."

Kath
looked up at them.

They
were all shocked at her appearance, she was pale and in her eyes was a haunted
look. She licked her lips.

"….Well
brother isn't the most accurate term, to describe him."

"What
is then?" Hammond knew this could
show a security threat.

She
looked away from them and then raised her chin to meet their gazes.
