The fifth room of the fifth floor of the Finest Hotel in Uray filled up with a colorless gas as did the entire floor. Calla had been in the middle of kissing him for the last time when Daniel’s body began to go limp in her arms she settled him to the floor of their room. On her knees beside him he looked so peaceful while he slept. She wanted to remember this moment forever, capture every single detail of his face and never forget it.

Behind her the door opened. “It’s time, Cha’Dech.” Omar said.

Calla reached out her arms to her sleeping husband and nuzzled her face against his cheek. “It would break my heart if you should ever forget me.” Calla whispered tearfully. “I love you more than anything, Daniel.”

“Soon the gas will affect us,” Omar warned from behind her, “when that happens, it will become toxic to him and the others. Now get up and come with me.”

“I will miss you my husband so much.” She brushed her lips over his sleeping ones. “Don’t forget me.” Her tears fell on his cheeks. “I love you, Danny.” Beginning to feel light headed Calla rose to her feet and didn’t look back.

The next morning she was taken to dark bedroom and stood in front of a very large free standing mirror, a mirror which looked a lot like the one back in room five. “Gaze.” Omar said.

Looking into the mirror an image appeared. At first she recognized the Stargate and then the people in uniform walking up to it. Teal’c stood at the controls dialing home. Jack and Sam were shoring up Daniel. “I can’t just leave her here.” Daniel moaned tearfully. “I promised her I’d never leave her.”

“There’s nothing to take back, Daniel.” Jack said in as soothing a voice as he could. “Your kids need you now; you gotta be strong for them.”

“She’s gone.” Daniel cried while Omar looked on beside him. “I just can’t believe it.” He shook his head. “It’s not real.”

“It’s real Daniel,” Sam said coming to his side. “We all saw it.” She soothed a hand across his hair and brushed a tear away from his cheek. “It’s time to go.”

The four of them walked up to the open gate.

“Doctor Jackson,” Omar said as he neared the wormhole. “Please accept the deepest sympathies of our entire world. Your loss is our loss. Your wife was a very fine woman.”

“Yes she was.” Was? Did he say ‘was’? Daniel took one last look back and then disappeared through the Stargate.

The image in the mirror disappeared as the strength left her small body and Calla sank to her knees. Through heavy tears she looked up to the mirror hoping for one last glance at those eyes. There was another image in the mirror now. A tall dark image that she would know anywhere.

“Hasho.” The images’ voice whispered. “Ginan oway s’et gin eway.”

(I told you. You are always mine.) “Welcome home, Cha’Dech.” The voice said in English.

“Hei, Naganti Kanan.”
