A/N: It might appear a little choppy but it's written so that it supplements the film. Apologies to anyone who's been waiting for this – I've been meaning to write this sequel for what seems like aeons... it's just the ol' muse needed several kick starts.

It might be advisable to have read What I Should Be Told You, but seeing as that is like 85 little scenes, I'll give you the gist here...

Previously: After the events of the Shroud, Sam and Daniel finally give into their mutual attraction for each other and embark on a relationship in and around the events of the latter half of season 10. Not long afterwards, Cam and Vala get together. During the course of Unending, Daniel and Vala contract a strain of the Asgard's disease that makes them forget their other halves. After everything is reset, Daniel proposes to Sam, and Cam proposes to Vala... and they all end up going camping with Jack and Teal'c.

A bright flash of light. A mountain collapsing. Morgan le Fay. Odd and bewildering images flashed before him, speeding up, faster and faster until he could take no more. With a strangled scream as everything appeared to explode around him in a violent flash of light and sound, Daniel sat bolt up right in bed, gasping for breath as he looked around himself at the dark bedroom, scared. As a worried Sam, her hair now shoulder length, quickly sat up, having been woken up by him tossing and turning prior to screaming, he, still panting, checked his torso, not knowing what he was looking for.

Seemingly yet inexplicably satisfied and relieved, he closed his eyes as he caught his breath back, leaning his head back, and Sam asked, smoothing his shoulder, "Daniel?"

He opened his eyes and murmured as his breaths eventually evened out, "I think I'm losing it. It's the same thing every time... I don't know what it is."

Even more concerned, she asked as she held him in her arms, his head against her bosom, "Exploding mountain?"

He nodded. "They're getting more vivid." he whispered, gradually feeling relaxed as Sam ran her fingers through his hair, his voice growing drowsy, "I don't know what they mean. They're just... weird. I'm finally losing it like Nick... next I'll be seeing dead people."

She chuckled softly, remembering how they had both laughed at Sixth Sense earlier, and she kissed his brow, watching his eyes close. "You're just in need of a vacation... we've been working too hard with this Ori thing."

"Oh... I wish. I've always wanted to show you the K-T boundary... and we could go to Mesa Verde as well." he yawned. "The amount of vacation time we've collectively accrued, we'd never go back to work... but then we could go to Egypt. That would be a cool honeymoon... well, not 'cool' as in temperature cool..."

She chuckled again, amused as he continued to ramble drowsily, and she kissed his brow once again. "Ssshh, honey. Go to sleep."

He whined, his eyes already closed, "Don't wanna..."

She smoothed the hair around his ear, whispering, "We've got work tomorrow... you need to sleep if you're going to go off on Daniel Jackson tangents without falling asleep at the briefing room table and have Cam making rude jokes." she smiled when he didn't answer, the Archaeologist now asleep, and she sighed softly as she lie down with him, holding him close as she gazed at him in concern at worry. She whispered, sighing as she thought of the base Psychologist,

"We can see Hutchinson tomorrow if you want... he might be able to help you."

A naked Cam lie on his side, propped up on his elbow as he watched his fiancée while she slept. With his free hand, he caressed her shoulder, wondering what their future would be like. She had already been through so much pain with trying to reach out to Adria, and having her daughter spurn each attempt before Ascending. Gazing at her with worry, he lowered his lips to kiss her shoulder, whispering,

"It's gonna be ok, baby. You're not doing this alone... don't shut me out."

He then slipped his arm around her waist, snuggling up to her as he kissed her neck. He continued to watch her as he smoothed her bare stomach beneath the sheets, hoping that things would work out for them.
