Thanks to rants_by_james for beta on both of these.

What She Didn't Say

Janet Frasier stepped through the Stargate with a mix of trepidation and relief. Home again, she thought as her team trampled noisily down onto the 'Gate Room floor. Landry was there; the right Landry this time, his face worn and haggard with worry over the Ori plague.

"I have something for you, Sir," she smiled, presenting him with the yellow box she had clutched at her chest since she stepped through the 'Gate on the other Earth. "I have the cure."

Of course, there were explanations that had to be given. For the first few days, though, the weary general gladly took his people at their word, let the doctor work. When the cure began to filter its way out to the public and they knew the nightmare was over, Janet calmly explained how her team had found themselves stranded in another reality--one in which Orlin had returned to cure the plague. She didn't hesitate, nor did her voice betray a hint of what she was holding back. As she spoke, she thought with a bit of private amusement that she felt rather like General O'Neill must have when he returned from the first Abydos mission.

Later though, as she stood in the 'Gate Room again, her vision blurred with tears. This time he would be the one leaving, only there would be no parting embrace. He would only be gone a few days…a short trip back to Abydos. Back home, for him. For her, though, it might as well have been another universe.

As the first hot tear slid down onto her cheek, she reached furtively to brush it away. A quick glance around the room assured her that none of the rest of the team had seen. Then her other hand slowly drifted to her belly and the secret she hid there. Not his. Not really. But almost…

Present

Her forehead rested against the cool of the windowpane, and she stared out at the dull, slate gray sky and the still-empty driveway. As the first hard splatters collided with the glass, she shivered, almost able to feel the cold, wet wind that suddenly picked up the plastic lid of the wading pool and sent it skittering across the yard. She felt her mother's weight slide onto the couch cushion behind her, but she swallowed twice and didn't turn, warm tears now tracking their way down her cheeks.

"He'll be here," she heard close to her ear as strong, gentle arms wound around her. She melted backward, snuggling into the inviting softness of her mother's breast.

"He promised," she sniffed with a nod of agreement, comforted already by the familiar, vanilla-scented closeness. A hand smoothed over her hair, then slid down to caress her back in slow, tender circles.

"Why don't you go and play with your friends?" her mother suggested. "I'll keep watch for a while."

She swallowed again, turning to peer into the kitchen, where a crowd of children were gathered around the festively decorated table or playing party games. "Someone's missing there, too," she said glumly.

Her mother sighed, bending to kiss the top of her hair. "This really is turning out to be an awful birthday, isn't it?" she murmured. "Daddy's gone and your best friend's moved away."

She nodded, coiling her arms tightly around her mother's neck. "Why does Dakara have to be so far?" she whispered tightly. "It's not fair, Mom!

"No, it's not…" her mother began, then suddenly tensed. "Look!"

She twisted in her mother's arms, then let out a squeal of delight. The dirty red pickup pulled into the driveway, and she tore off the couch, racing outside as the two men climbed out. Heedless now of the icy wind or the rain pelting her through the new dress she wore, she flung herself across the yard and into her father's arms.

"Dad! You did come home!"

"I wouldn't be anywhere else, Manda," Daniel said, kneeling to look up at her. "Uncle Jack and I just had to bring back your present."

"What present?" she frowned, looking from him to the grinning, white-haired man a few feet away.

"C'mon," Jack said, gesturing for her to follow as he walked around to the back of the truck.

She ran off after him, trailed by Daniel, who stooped to pick her up when they reached the truck bed. Jack reached for the wet tarp, snapping it back with a flourish.

"Ta-da!" he exclaimed, revealing the unmistakable, stoic form of a Jaffa warrior, who rose from the familiar meditative position with slow grace and offered her a bow.

"Teal'c!" she cried, launching herself from Daniel's arms to his. "You're back from Dakara!"

Despite the awkwardness of the way they were standing, Teal'c caught her easily, and allowed a momentary smile to cross his face. "Indeed I am, AmandaJackson."

hmm... amanda jackson... i rather like the sound of that...

*giggles*

=D

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

[martyfan.livejournal.com]

Whoa, wait. I'm confused on the first one...Janet's Daniel is dead, and the cure was too late? But...he was with her in the episode! *puzzled*

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

HUH? Jeez...apparently my beta and I both missed that because we both thought Janet's Daniel wasn't on the team with her when she came through. Well...I guess this story makes ABSOLUTELY no sense.

[martyfan.livejournal.com]

There was also a deleted scene where they questioned Janet's Daniel about stuff (in which they established he still has allergies, Abydos still exists and had recently been visited by a Prior, and Sha're was still alive), but that's less relevant. :P

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

Well, crap...I was apparently fell asleep during this scene. *feels retarded* Ok...uh... maybe...it was his twin! Yeah! His twin! Denny Jackson!

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

Ok! I think I've got the last scene figured out. Not as good as it was...but at least it's not blatantly ignoring the presence of Janet's Daniel. *headdesk*

I just have one *small* question which perhaps you can enlighten me about. In the deleted scene you mentioned, was it established whether Sha're was still Goa'ulded or was she back on Abydos with her family, or what?

[martyfan.livejournal.com]

Actually, we don't know if she ever was Goa'ulded to begin with. This is the transcript of the missing scene:

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM #2 -- DAY

Green Mitchell is seated across the table from Desert Camo Daniel. A glass of water and a pill dispenser sit in front of Desert Camo Daniel.

DESERT CAMO DANIEL: So how do we get back to our reality?

GREEN MITCHELL: We don't know yet, but we're working on it. In the meantime, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Desert Camo Daniel nods. Green Mitchell turns on the tape recorder sitting on the table. Desert Camo Daniel opens up the pill dispenser, pops a couple, and washes them down. Off Green Mitchell's look -

DESERT CAMO DANIEL: Antihistamines. I have terrible allergies.

Green Mitchell nods, moves on -

GREEN MITCHELL: Where were you gating in from?

DESERT CAMO DANIEL: Abydos, my wife's home world. With her help and the support of our friends there, we were going to try and capture a Prior. But things didn't go as planned ...

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!!!!!!! It works!!!!!!!!!! I love you...

[jades-icons.livejournal.com]

*HUGS TEALC*
I just love him and the kids even more now! *sigh*

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

*hugs Teal'c too* I could just totally picture Jack whipping off this tarp and there's T!

I've got to do some more with Carter and Nicky, though. Manda, Daniel, and Teal'c seem to have stolen the show.

[jades-icons.livejournal.com]

if Jaco is alive in this story they could bond with "Grandpa" :)

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

OMG! OMG! OMG! *hops and hops and hops and hops* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! That's awesome!!!!

[stargatefangurl.livejournal.com]

Great job on the second fic... Hope you fix the first one soon so I can read it. ;)

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

I need a Janet icon...I think I'm starting to have an idea how to figure it out.

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I meant to say thanks.

[martyfan.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I like. Nicely done! (Would say more but am leaving.)

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

*grin* Thanks! Feel free to say more later. lol.

[martyfan.livejournal.com]

Okie dokie, I'm back! Sorry about the very short comment, but I was in the van as it was pulling out of the driveway and the wireless internet only reaches so far. ;)

I guess there isn't really a ton I can say about it, since it's so short, but you did a great job at keeping the same type of tone as the first one - it's got that bittersweet shippy taste to it, where it makes you wanna go aww and noooooo at the same time. :P

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

HEY! I just got back myself, lol! Thanks. I was really beating my head against the wall trying to keep the emotion of the scene intact for a while...then it hit me...if Daniel's got Sha're, then Janet's still in almost the same situation she would've been.

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

Oh love the first one great job sweetie. I love that pairing too :) I so loved seeing Janet again. :))

and yes ( i was reading some of the comments) you should make some Janet icons. :))

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

*adds Janet icons to very long list of icon projects*

Thanks!

[jades-icons.livejournal.com]

oh thats good! you have to continue the Janet one! LOL! Very good!

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! LOL!

[jades-icons.livejournal.com]

you dont wanna continue it? LOL!
