Rating: PG

The walk back to the gate had been the quietest the team had ever experienced. Vala hung behind the rest of the group, walking alone, unsure of what to do next. This was the first time she had ever walked this path as an SG-1 member in this manner. Even when Daniel was gone, she always had the feeling they would find him and he would return to her side. This time it was different. She knew that nothing she could do could bring him back…

*****

He awoke to see a shadowy figure standing over him. He recognized it, but couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Not again..." He groaned as the figure came into focus.

"Yes, again. We really have to stop meeting like this." She replied.

"You know, I was just thinking the same thing. So what got me this time Oma?"

"Gun shot wound in the chest."

"Ahhh. That would do it, wouldn't it" He said. "But why I am here? I thought that you wouldn't be able to do this again. To help me I mean."

Daniel didn't wait for her answer. He started to look around the room. His glasses were gone but everything was very clear. He was back at the SGC, just like the first time he ascended. The embarkation room had a beautiful glow about it. It was much brighter in there then he ever remembered it and the wormhole had been activated. He looked down and saw that he was still wearing the same black t-shirt and green BDU pants that he had been wearing when him and Vala had started out on their walk.

"Well, it wasn't my call this time. Someone else swayed the others to bring you here." Oma said and pointed at the figure standing to the right of her.

Shocked at the being standing next to her, Daniel barely got his name out, "Merlin?"

"Yes Daniel it is me." Merlin said with a smile.

"Now I really don’t understand." Daniel said.

"You have done so much for me and the Ancient's cause. I couldn't just let you die. I brought you here and then spoke with The Others. After much discussion, they granted my request."

"Okay, so what does that mean exactly?" Concern was starting to overcome Daniel’s face.

"It means that you can ascend." Merlin said matter of factly, "That is why Oma is here. I was never good at helping people to ascend."

"Yeah I understand why she is here, but what I am having trouble understanding is why you are here. I thought you had a falling out with the Ancients and that is why you went back to Earth in the first place." Daniel said with confusion.

"I thought the same thing, but once I left your body, I found myself in this state. The Others realized I was trying to help rid the galaxy of the Ori by building my weapon, and rewarded me for my efforts."

"Well, wasn't that nice of them." Daniel said with hints of sarcasm. "But what if I don't want to ascend?"

Merlin and Oma exchanged looks, "I don't understand. I thought you would prefer this to death." Merlin said.

"Don't get me wrong, I am very appreciative of this opportunity, but to be honest, I just want to be alive. I was at a point in my life where I was finally happy. I should have known that it couldn't last. It seems as though just when I think I can finally move on with my life, I die."

"Daniel, I am not sure if I can let you go back to Earth without serious consequences." Oma began. "This is supposed to be a once in a lifetime chance to ascend, and here we are at your third attempt."

"I didn’t ask for this. That should count for something. If I can’t be with Vala," Daniel stopped trying to choke back the tears, "then I don’t want to be anywhere. You should have just let me die."

Merlin scratched his beard, "I was in your mind for long enough to know how much you care about her Daniel. I thought that at least ascended, you would have comfort in knowing that you could at least check in on her from time to time. "

"That isn’t going to be enough for me anymore." Daniel said as he started to reflect on Vala, "I need to be with her. I need to feel her always touching me in some way. As much as it annoys me sometimes, I want her to be there complaining that she is bored when I am trying to concentrate. As cheesy as this sounds, she truly does complete me. She has opened my eyes to a whole new way of living my life."

Oma looked over at Merlin who just shrugged his shoulders. Oma thought long and hard for a few moment when she finally spoke, "Daniel you know that you can’t ascend if you don’t release your burden. With your current state of mind, you will never be able to ascend."

"Are you not listening to what I am saying? I don’t want to ascend. I want to be alive. Can’t you send me back one more time?" Daniel asked.

"If I send you back Daniel, you will never get another chance like this again." Oma said.

"That is what you said last time," Daniel fired back.

"I didn’t help you this time. This was all Merlin, or were you not listening to us?" Oma said back calmly.

Daniel gave her a very unsatisfied look. "Whatever. Can it be done or will I truly die this time? I need to know, so I can prepare myself."

Merlin exchanged glances with Oma who nodded. "It can be done Daniel. This will be the last time you get help from any of us, so make the most of it."

Daniel felt hope consume him. "I will make the most of it, that I promise you."

"Then it will be done." Merlin walked to Oma’s side again as she looked to Daniel.

She half smiled, "Try not to get yourself killed again, so we don’t even have to be in this situation."

Daniel grinned, "I will try. Thank you both."

Suddenly, a bright light swallowed the embarkation room. It was blinding to Daniel. He closed his eyes until he could feel the light disappear. When he opened his eyes, the room was completely empty. It had to be night time. That was the only time the place felt this quiet.

He started to walk to the door when he noticed that once again he was completely naked. There has to be a better way to do this, he thought as he ran disgusted through the empty halls to his quarters. He hoped he wouldn’t run into too many people on the way. He couldn’t find anything to cover himself with.

*******
He slowly closed the door behind him and just stood there, watching her. She had her back facing the door just staring at a picture of him. She looked so cute in her big hair rollers and silk pajamas. He stood in the doorway for almost 10 minutes before she finally rolled over on her other side. The tears in her eyes caught the light and made them glisten. At first she didn't even see him standing there smiling down at her. When she finally saw him, she looked at him and started crying even more

"I don't know what I am going to do without you. I am more lost now then I ever was before." Tears were now streaming down her
cheeks.

He walked to the bed and sat down on the edge. "You don't have to be without me. I am here now."

"Darling, I know you are just a figment of my imagination and when I awake in the morning, you will be gone."

He turned and laid on the bed next to her. He put his hand on her face and wiped her tears with his thumb. Cupping her chin with his strong hands, he then leaned forward to kiss her. The kiss was soft and tender. When he finally broke the kiss, she lingered for as long as she could, when suddenly it hit her.

"You aren't a figment of my imagination, are you?" She asked.

"No" He replied with a grin.

"You better not be messing with me Daniel."

"I am not messing with you Vala. I have come back, again." Daniel chuckled at that statement.

"But how?" Confussion spread across her face.

"With some help, from a few old friends. I have the rest of our lives to explain it to you."

Suddenly, joy spread across her face. Everything they had been planning before his death, might actually be able to become a reality.

She looked deeply into his blue eyes, "I love you, Daniel."

"I know Sweetheart, and I love you."

No More

Characters: Daniel/Vala
Warning: Contains character death
Spoilers: None
Rating: PG

Swallowing hard, she tried to ease the lump in the back of her throat, as she stared at him. It was just last night that she was lying in his arms, blissful, but now, he lay in hers, breathless. She could still feel his kisses on her neck, his breath making her tingle...but no more.

Finally, she had found a place where she could be herself, no more lies, no more walls. He had brought this out in her, but no more.

Clinging to him, the tears started pouring down her pale face. If only she hadn't insisted on checking out this tavern. Alcohol did not agree with him and she knew it, but he went along with it for her. Why she couldn't have just kept her mouth shut and kept walking like he wanted was beyond her now.

Neither one of them were prepared for what was to transpire. How was she to know that the patron trying to hit on her had a gun?

She could still feel his hand letting go of her own to try to get the patron to stop his forward advances. "Don't worry about it," she said as the last of his fingertips escaped her grasp. It was too late. The damage had already been done. Before she could stand in his way, the patron shot the gun.

Now, he lay there, in her arms, lifeless. All their future plans, crushed. All she could do was hold on to him.

Even when the others came to take him, she didn't want to let go. He was hers...no more.

I am finally taking the plunge...
