Daniel looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms and smiled. Buffy never looked more beautiful to him than she did now, although she would never believe it. All she would see was the growing bump in her tummy and the other parts that were thickening as her pregnancy advanced. That was what Daniel found so damned attractive. He reaffirmed to himself his vow to be at her side, no matter what, when she went into labor.

Daniel pulled her closer and repositioned her head to a more comfortable position. He should be up and studying some of the Ancient database he had been able to bring back with him but Buffy hadn't been sleeping well so neither had he. It had taken him almost a decade to learn that there were more important things than knowledge. He was holding two of them in his arms at this moment. He was not saying that Buffy meant more to him than Sha're had but he now knew what the cost of knowledge might be this time and he was determined to not screw up this chance at happiness.

Daniel had spent much of his time on Atlantis with the database while Buffy had put Lt. Col. Sheppard and his team through difficult sparring sessions. That had been enough time apart to find a clue to save the galaxy so Daniel reasoned that he and Buffy deserved the three weeks back to Earth as a vacation. Knowing her history, Daniel thought Buffy could use a vacation too. It was about eleven years since she started her fight and she hadn't had a break, except for the few months she was dead. Daniel knew what that was like so he was going to make sure they both enjoyed this time and rested because when they got back the search for the Sangraal would begin in earnest and there would be no more time for rest.
