I think it's kind of fun to think of how people might react to finding out that Jack and Sam are together, so I thought I'd share what I've got bouncing around in my head. They won't be set around any particular episode or season unless otherwise noted. FYI: I have no idea how many I will be writing, just something for me to pass time while I try to work out details for my other stories (No, I haven't forgotten about Broken Bones)

Rating to be safe, not sure what I might have in later chapters (mild language at most).

Ch.1 – Christmas Cards

Off all the things that Jack didn't like doing, this had to be near the top of the list but thankfully unlike most everything else, he only had to do this once a year. No matter how much he tried he could never really get behind the whole idea of Christmas Cards.

He just didn't see the point of sending them out every year, but at least this one time it would be rather enjoyable. He hadn't been married long; in fact it had been a rather small, quiet ceremony, so he figured that the Christmas Cards this year could also double as a wedding announcement. Imagining the reactions that people would have upon reading them was enough to get him to sit down and start working on them and before he knew it he had managed to finish them all in one sitting. On his way to work the next day he dropped them off at the Post Office. In a few days they would start to arrive and then the real fun would begin.

Hmm, General Hammond thought sitting behind his desk at Homeworld Security, a Christmas card from Jack, he must really want to avoid some paperwork. Sure he was a little surprised to be getting a card from Jack, well, at least before Christmas that is, but a quick look at the return address indicated that it was from 'O'Neill' and Jack was the only one that he knew.

Upon opening the card he read the standard greeting 'Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!' but what really got his attention was what was signed after that where 'Jack & Sam O'Neill was written'. Well, he thought, quietly laughing to himself, I guess I know more than one O'Neill now.

Once the shock had passed he realized that Jack getting cards out early was likely due to his wife's persistence. Now all he had to do was call and offer his 'Congratulations' to the happy couple followed by a few more calls to see who had checked their mail already; one things was for sure, if this was how he was finding out, then this was how everyone else would be finding out too.

Well, there you have it - it's not much but I'll probably have another short chapter or 2 with more reactions to the Christmas Cards before moving onto another idea.

Chapter End Notes: So... good, bad, unsure... please let me know. I am also open to any suggestions you might have
