Thanks
Everyone watched as Buffy exited the kitchen carrying the last dish - the turkey. She carefully set it on the table and then sat down. The beaming smile on her face caused them to let out a collective sigh of relief and relax.
“This is just perfect, thanks.”
“It was no problem,” Cameron said with a smile. Seeing the obvious pleasure on her face made up for the fact that only two hours before she had screeched at him for buying the wrong cranberry sauce. He had hastily left in search of the correct brand.
Vala and Daniel exchanged amused looks but didn’t say anything. Dawn just smirked knowingly at everyone.
“I’d like for us to take a few minutes to tell what we’re thankful for. I’ll go first,” Buffy said. “I’m thankful that I’m a member of a great team. A team who isn’t just my friends, but a crazy family. But I know that they’re there for me and are watching my back. I’m thankful that my sister is here. I miss her, but she’s grown so much. And I’m thankful that Cameron is at least as stubborn as me, and convinced me that some risks are worth it.”
She looked over at Cameron with misty eyes. “Your turn.”
Cameron cleared his throat and smiled at everyone. “I’m thankful that Buffy reminded me in the beginning that building SG-1 wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. I couldn’t ask for a finer team to lead. I’m still thankful for everyday that I’m able to walk through.” He smiled at Buffy and gently took one of her small hands into his larger one. “And I’m thankful that I have such a beautiful, strong woman by my side.”
Dawn grinned at Buffy’s blush. “I’m thankful that my sister has lived through another year. That she’s finally doing things to make her happy and not someone else and that she has a cool team. I’m thankful that none of my teachers have been eaten, tried to kill me, or turned out to be demons in disguise,” she finished gaily causing everyone at the table to laugh.
“I think I’m most thankful for how you guys have accepted me, made me part of a group,” Vala said, her strong voice only quivering slightly. “You know me, my past, my colorful personality, and you like me anyway.”
Daniel smiled softly at her. “And I’m thankful that you’re here to remind me of the joy of the little things. That life should be celebrated, not pondered.” He looked at the rest of them. “I’m thankful for this team as well. When the original SG-1 split, it was hard. They were family and I thought I had lost something precious, but it only opened the door for my new family.”
Buffy wiped at the tears that had slipped down her cheeks. “Let’s eat.”
“That turkey looks good,” Dawn said, as they began piling food on their plates.
“I hope so. I used Alton Brown’s recipe on it,” Buffy said, passing the cranberry sauce to Cameron.
“Who’s?” Dawn asked.
“He has a show on the Food Network called Good Eats,” Vala explained.
“Thank goodness,” Dawn said in relief. “In the past, Buffy’s turkey’s resembled the turkey from Christmas Vacation.” She just smiled cheerily at her sister’s glare.
