Presents
"So, darling," said Vala, as though she hadn't just swept into Daniel's office and hopped up onto his workbench. "What do you want for your birthday?"
"What?" he asked, still concentrating on his translation.
"Your birthday," she repeated. "You have one every year, or so I've been given to understand."
Daniel rolled his eyes. "Don't give me your 'I don't understand Earth culture'- you've been here long enough, not to mention the amount of TV you watch."
Vala grinned. "Which leads me back to asking what you want for your birthday."
He shrugged. "Most people just bring me coffee."
"That's not a very good present," she protested.
"I don't know- I happen to like coffee."
Vala frowned. "Honestly, darling, please think of something better than that."
She kept asking, springing the question on him as though surprise would give him an answer.
"Daniel!" she cried, as they gathered their gear for an off-world mission. "I am not getting you coffee for your birthday!"
"Then don't get me anything," he replied, and stepped through the 'gate. Vala pouted and followed him.
Hours later, when they were hunkered down in their tents against the harsh wind of PX-946, Vala wiggled her sleeping bag closer to Daniel's.
"I don't mean to bother you, darling," she said softly. "It's just... you never seem to ask for anything, Daniel. Not for yourself. I wanted to get you something you'd enjoy, not something you need."
Daniel smiled at her. "Vala," he said. "What could I possibly want? I have a job I love, friends who are more like family... You."
She snuggled closer. "Oh, you definitely have me, Daniel. And if that's all you need, then I'm all right with that."
"You planned a party for me, didn't you?"
"I did."
He laughed. "That's my girl."
