Buffy walked out of the bathroom in the quarters she shared with Daniel, aboard the Odyssey. She couldn't wait for the child to be born, not just because she wanted to meet the baby but because she was getting tired of these morning bouts of illness. Daniel had tried to help but there was not much he could do except sit beside her and rub her back and then hand her some Sprite to wash the taste out of her mouth.

Buffy was getting tired of this. She knew it was supposed to get better in a few months but she hoped it would happen sooner. Buffy also knew that dealing with a wife who was sick every morning and queasy most of the time had not been Daniel's preferred way to spend the few days he had on Atlantis, but he had never said a word of complaint. Still she knew he'd have rather spent those extra hours with the Ancient database rather than with her. Mitchell had been right, Atlantis was Daniel Disneyland. If Buffy had doubted that Daniel had meant it when he said he loved her those doubts had been put to rest. Yes Daniel had had a chance to do some studying the database but not as much as she would have liked because he spent the time with her.

Buffy sat down on the bed and smiled down at her sleeping husband. It was weird to think of having a husband but she was slowly getting used to it. Daniel sat up then and pulled her to him. Buffy took her Sprite from her bedside table and sipped. When the can was empty, Buffy set it back on the table before cuddling closer to Daniel. She smiled as they both settled back for a few more hours of sleep.
