Buffy was getting restless and that was never good. A restless Slayer was a bored Slayer and that meant someone or something was going to get pounded. Unfortunately there was nothing for her to slay in Colorado Springs. General Landry had drastically reduced the number of sparing sessions with the SG teams since learning of her pregnancy so she couldn't work out her frustrations that way.
Daniel had left to do some research in Merlin's Library on Camelot over a week ago. He traveled through the Stargate and therefore Buffy couldn't travel with him. Dr. Lam had been uncertain about what could happen to the baby if Buffy went through the Gate, so here she stayed and slowly went nuts.
Buffy didn't know when it had happened but somehow her life was empty without Daniel in it. She knew she was beginning to love him and had even told so but when had her life become incomplete if she didn't see him in any given twenty-four hour period. She had promised herself that after Angel she would never get that all romance novel heroine weak about a man but here she was dependant on Daniel.
Buffy glanced at the clock in Daniel's office, where she was waiting since she could almost feel his presence there, ten more minutes until she could go wait in the control room for Daniel to return. Buffy was looking through some of Daniel's notebooks with out really reading them when she realized why she might be feeling like she was- hormones from the baby. That made her feel better. A few more minutes past and Buffy got up and left the office after shutting and locking the door. She speed walked through the halls to just short of the control room where she slowed to make it appear that she wasn't really all that concerned. She had just greeted Walter when the Gate activated.
"Incoming wormhole," Walter said as the iris activated and closed. Then a code flashed on the computer screen beside him. "Receiving Dr. Jackson's IDC."
"Open it, Walter." commanded Landry as he came down the stairs from the briefing room. He paused to wave Buffy with him and continued in to the Gate Room with Buffy close on his heels.
The Iris opened and Daniel walked on to the ramp. Buffy rushed up and hugged him before Landry could say anything.
"Dr. Jackson, I expect a full briefing at 0800 tomorrow. Have Dr. Lam check you over and then you're free to leave." Landry said with a smile before leaving the couple on the ramp to themselves.
"So what do you say, Mrs. Jackson? Accompany me to the infirmary and then home?" Daniel asked as he wrapped an arm around her as left too left.
"I'd love that," Buffy answered as she laid her head on his shoulder. Buffy was no longer restless. Daniel was home and all was right in her world for the moment.
