Five Lies Sha're Told 4 + 5una_spectreSeptember 19 2011, 21:55:18 UTC
4. “Are you okay?” Sha’re let out a long sigh as she tried to take in what Daniel had just told her. “Atlantis?” she finally managed to say. Daniel grimaced slightly; he’d known this wasn’t the best time to tell her that he’d accepted Weir’s offer to join the Expedition when the Daedalus returned them, Jack had just told her that he was leaving the SGC. But considering he would have to start packing up his office soon it was better than her stumbling across his new assignment. “Sha’re, are you okay?” he asked again worriedly.
Sha’re took several deep breaths using the techniques Dr Edwards had taught her over the past few years. Things had been going so well recently. Her job that General Hammond had created specifically for her was wonderful; she was the civilian/military liaison. She worked closely with Walter, attended staff meetings for all departments and orientated new members of the base - although she did not like that part of her job as much. She was taking some college courses as well where she’d managed to make friends who were so completely different from the ones she had back on Abydos. Then there was also her relationship with Daniel. About a year after their split he had met her as she left her class for the day and offered to take her to dinner at a restaurant she’d been told about by a friend. They’d returned to his apartment so she could collect a book she needed for her studies and as they talked it had just happened. Leaving his bed that night to return to her own Sha’re’s mind was whirling, the next morning she paced Dr Edwards’ office who waited patiently for her to finish before reminding Sha’re that loving Daniel wasn’t a bad thing. The whole point of their separation was so Sha’re could find herself and now she had begun to re-establishing the physical element of her relationship with the man she loved was not a bad thing. Sha’re’s friend, Casey, used the term ‘Boyfriend’ to define the relationship. Sha’re wasn’t sure she liked that word but ‘Husband’ wasn’t one she could use just yet. But he was always just ‘Her Daniel’. Now though he was leaving her, leaving her to do something he wanted to do so much. A chance to see the city he helped discover, the city where the beings he’d lived amongst for a year and the beings her people now lived amongst had created. She couldn’t refuse him that dream. “Are you okay?” Daniel asked worriedly. Sha’re turned and gave him a smile before nodding and forcing out the word, “Yes.”
5. The sharp cry filled the small room around Sha’re as she lay exhausted against the pillows on the bed. She was holding her breath as she watched the people crowd around the small table just far enough so she couldn’t see what was happening. She needed to know everything was alright but no one was giving her any information. Finally Daniel came towards her carrying a small bundle, he carefully passed the precious package into Sha’re’s waiting arms allowing her to look down on her daughter. “She’s perfect,” Daniel grinned, “Just like her mother.” Sha’re could only smile as she looked at the tiny fingers and tiny toes before wrapping the blanket back around her little girl. Looking up at Daniel Sha’re felt a tear trail along her cheek, it had taken them so long to get here. So many obstacles, so much heartache and none of it mattered any more. As she yawned Daniel reached out wiping away the tear, “I’ll take her if you need to rest.” Sha’re shook her head, she was exhausted but did not want to give up the warmth of her baby in her arms just yet. “I am not tired,” Sha’re lied. Daniel chuckled, for once seeing right through her before he settled on the bed beside Sha’re and wrapped his arms around his girls.

I love AUs where Sha're comes to Earth, and I like the way you explored her confusion and emptiness. But I'm especially glad she and Daniel got their happy ending finally! :-)
