Five Lies Sha're Told 1 + 2una_spectreSeptember 19 2011, 21:52:30 UTC
1. “I am tired.” Janet stood at Sha’re’s soft voice and stepped in front of the young woman folding her arms across her chest, “This meeting is adjourned.” “Dr Frasier,” the goon who’d been sent to interview the ex-Goa’uld host protested, “We’ve more questions for Mrs Jackson.” “And before this meeting began I told you if she felt tired or unwell in any way you stopped,” Janet retorted, she could feel Daniel behind her as he helped Sha’re to her feet, “She is, it’s over. General Hammond will back me up if need be, do I need to call him?” Both men towered over the doctor but neither was able to disobey the sharp voice and muttering under their breath left the room. Janet turned and smiled at the couple as Daniel helped Sha’re to the small room they were sharing until Janet agreed she was healthy enough to leave.
Sha’re sat on the bed watching Daniel as he fixed her some tea. She felt a little guilty telling Janet she felt tired when she didn’t but talking about everything was harder than she realised and she needed some time away from it. Her rescue from the Goa’uld had come so long after everyone believed her to be dead; Ammonet had been in hiding on the one final planet that was under her control. A Tok’ra agent had convinced her to leave the planet in the pretence of reuniting her with Apophis, once through the Stargate Ammonet had been sedated and removed. The procedure had taken its toll on Sha’re but she had been assured her full strength would return in time. Escorted to the SGC by her rescuer, Jacob Carter, Sha’re had been reunited with her husband ready to begin her life again. “Do you want me to leave you to sleep?” Daniel asked pulling her thoughts back to the room. Sha’re hated how cautious he was being around her just now, how he was so afraid that she would shatter any moment if he raised his voice or held her too tightly. “Would you hold me?” Sha’re asked softly, wondering why they weren’t able to talk properly anymore. Daniel sat on the bed and Sha’re rested her head against his chest. “Are you feeling better?” Daniel whispered as she cuddled into him. Sha’re hesitated but the warmth of him against her and knowing how much he was worrying about her she lied, “Yes.”
2. The large expanse of water stretched out in front of Sha’re as she stood in the soft cool sand water lapping over her bare feet. The trip to the beach had been Cassie’s idea, a day away for them all to just relax and not have to think about the state of the galaxy. Especially as she was heading to college in a few weeks she’d wanted her family together for a fun day out. Sha’re knew they’d all expected her to gasp in amazement at the large expanse of water but she couldn’t feel the awe it should inspire within her. Sha’re glanced over to where Jack was setting up a fire to cook the food they’d brought with them, Teal’c was meditating under the large shade Janet had called a parasol while Janet and Sam were pulling strange items out of the bags they’d brought. Finally Cassie was with Daniel bringing the cooler filled with drinks from the car. Turning back to the ocean Sha’re wondered how easy it would be to walk into it and let the water simply swallow her so she didn’t have to feel like this anymore.
Sha’re sighed as Daniel’s arms slid around her, feeling the warmth of his chest pressed against her back. “What are you thinking about?” he whispered softly in her ear. Sha’re winced, knowing she could never hurt him in that way she tilted her head round and forced herself to smile. “I was thinking that I would never have imagined anything like this when I was a child.” As Daniel kissed her and warmth spread through Sha’re. She wished she felt like this when out of his embrace but all Sha’re felt when Daniel wasn’t with her was numb.
