Cam looked at his new wife, grinning at her. “So, they say we’ll be divorced in a few days,” he told her.

“Well, you weren’t that bad. You and Tomin were the best marriages I’ve had,” Vala said airily. “You were really good in the sack too,” she said leaning forward as she got closer.

“You were pretty damn good too, Vala…” Cam said as he rested his forehead on hers.

“I liked being with you,” Vala told him quietly.

“I did too,” Cam told her.

Vala gently tipped her jaw forward and drew him into a kiss. Cam pulled her into his arms as they fell back onto the couch in Cam’s living room.

“This ok?” Cam asked as he pulled at her clothing.

“Cam, please, don’t stop, don’t stop,” Vala told him as she pulled off his shirt.

“I won’t stop, I promise,” Cam told her as they got naked and started making love.

Cameron walked into Landry’s office, hiding his surprise at seeing Vala sitting in the chair.

“Sir?”

“Take a seat, Mitchell and close the door behind you,” General Landry told him.

Cam closed the door behind him and glanced towards Vala but she didn’t meet his eyes. He took his seat and glanced towards the General.

“Vala had an interesting medical report, Colonel. We thought you should know about it,” he started.

“Oh? Are you ok?” Cam asked, turning his head towards her.

“I’m fine,” Vala said tightly. “But… You’ll have to take me off the team soon,” she told him.

“What? How come?”

“I’m pregnant,” Vala said as she looked up at him.

“Pre- what?” Cam asked. “Is it?”

“Yes,” Vala said. “You’re the only one…”

“We’re pregnant?” Cam asked, grinning.

“You and Ms. Mal Doran had relations, Colonel?” Landry spoke up; shocked and reminding them he was still in the room.

“Of course we did, General. The people of PQX-493 were very insistent that we do it and do it loudly while they watched. If we had not, we would’ve been whipped until we bled, drawn, quartered and then finally fed to their pigs. I should know. I was the Goddess who came up with it a few hundred years ago. We had no choice,” Vala explained.

Cam glanced at her. He reached over and held her hand. “I’ll take her off my team, Sir.”

“Very good. We’ll assign her to do something else in the meanwhile. Do you two want some time to discuss your options?” Landry asked.

“Um… Yes, Sir,” Cam said, still holding her hand.

“Thank you, General,” Vala said as they left.

“I’m sorry, Cam… I had no idea,” Vala said as they sat together in his quarters. “I didn’t want to get pregnant… I can do this on my own; you don’t have to be-“

“Shh,” Cam told her as he kissed her deeply. “I want this and I want you.”

“I want you too, Cam… "I was blinded by Daniel so I missed seeing you until now… I think we would’ve saved ourselves a lot of heartache if only I had fallen for you like I have,” Vala said softly, letting Cam wrap his arms around her.

“It all worked out, Vala. Don’t you worry none,” Cam said, kissing her dark hair. “Can I tell my Momma?” he asked.

“I’d like that. Can we get some her delicious pie?”

“I bet she’d be happy to come out and let you help her make some. Or we can take a trip.”

“I’d like either,” Vala said as she cuddled in his arms, letting him hold her and finally feeling so very safe at last.

“Colonel,” General Landry said as he walked into Cam’s office.

“Sir,” Cam said, immediately rising.

“At ease, Colonel. I just wanted you to know that I’ve torn up your request for divorce. I had a feeling you didn’t want to be torn apart from Vala so soon.”

Cam smiled wide. “Thank you, Sir!” he said, shaking Landry’s hand. “You have no idea how happy I am. Thank you, Sir.”

“You’re welcome,” Landry said as he cupped Mitchell’s shoulder. “You do right by her, Son. She’s a better person that we all though.”

“That she is, Sir. Thank you.”

The TV droned on in the waiting room while Cam sat there, waiting for the Doctor to call for him. Vala’s water had broken while he was off world and she was taken to Peterson. He sat, worried for her and worried for their little one. Teal’c stood, also waiting.

A nurse came in. “Mr. Mitchell? Your wife wants to see you,” she said with a grin.

Cam grinned at Teal’c and hurried with her. He entered to see Vala trying to coax a tiny buddle to suckle.

“She’s stubborn and won’t latch on,” Vala told him. “She learned that from you,” she said wearily.

“More like you,” Cam said, kissing her on the head as the baby latched on.

Vala laughed softly. “She’s perfect.”

“She really is,” Cam told Vala as he laid eyes on their daughter.
