Jack woke up with Sam's head comfortably resting on his chest. They had been retired for several months, moved to the cabin, and had not been near the SGC since they left. The kids were both in fourth grade and hating every minute of it. The "legendary" SG-1 was disbanded with the threat of the Goa'uld and Replicators gone. Daniel and Janet retired to their own cabin near Aspen, Colorado and were expecting a child soon. Cassie was doing fine and is scheduled to graduate today from University of Colorado. Mitchell stayed at the SGC to train new recruits. Teal'c left for Dakara in order to help build the new Jaffa nation and, last communication with him, stated that there was some difficulty between Ger'ak & his followers and those for the new ways. Landry was placed in command of the SGC with his daughter taking Janet's place as CMO.

A/N - For those of you who care about Walter, he was promoted to Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, the highest enlisted rank.

Jack looked down at Sam and smiled at what he saw. He nibbled on her ear and whispered "I love you" to her. Sam rolled over and place several kisses on his chest. They laid there for what seemed like an eternity, staring at each other, when a phone call jolted them out of the bed. They both looked at each other and laughed before Sam reached over for the phone.

"Are you two up, yet?" Sam could hear Janet saying. Sam collapsed back on top of Jack and sighed, while listening to her best friend saying that they were going to be late if they didn't start moving. Sam finally hung up and rolled off of her lover, heading toward the shower. Jack joined her after a minute. They stood in the shower, in each other's arms, neither moving nor wanting to let go. Jack stepped back and looked over her body.

"God, Sam. You are so beautiful."

"Jack, you're embarrassing me." Sam blushed. After the long shower together, they stepped out and took turns drying each other off before heading over to their dresser.

"Jack, honey, can you...?" Sam asked, pointing to the zipper on her dress. Jack smiled and kissed her neck while zipping up the back of her dress. They walked out several minutes later, Jack wearing a simple blue tux and Sam, dressed in a strapless black dress. Jack followed Sam out to the garage and helped her in. He held her hand and heading off on the long drive from the cabin to Denver.

Jack pulled into the University of Colorado an hour after leaving the cabin, parking in between what he knew was Daniel's car and an SUV on loan to Teal'c and Cameron from the SGC. He helped Sam out and gently held her hand, while heading inside to the graduation. They found everyone else was waiting just inside for them.

"Love," Jack nudged Sam and pointed up at the door. Sam looked over at the door and saw Hammond walking toward them.

"Sam, Jack, how's the retirement comin'?"

"It couldn't be better. You?"

"Can't complain." After the introduction speeches and such, they waited until Cassie's turn and started clapping. It took a total of three hours, but finally it was over and everyone met outside.

"Soooo...Where are we going now?"

"Back to the cabin for the party?" Everyone nodded and walked to their respective cars. Jack and Sam followed Janet and Daniel to the house and held each other while waiting for the rest. They finally showed up and the party went underway.

About three hours into the party, they ran out of beer and drinks, so they all drove to the store to buy some. Just as they were checking out, a group of about thirty men came in with Uzi's and compact versions of MP5s. Jack reached into his jacket and pulled out two service pistols, handing one to Sam. Everyone but Cassie and Janet had a gun out.

"Look, Jack," Sam whispered. "We can't take these guys on alone. We need help. At least, see if we can get SG-3 or -5 down here. They could help a lot."

Jack pulled out his phone, calling the one person on Earth, in the galaxy, who could wave the law of Posse Comitatus. TBC...
