Summary: Another "Stop the wedding!" (I couldn't help myself)

Spoilers: Anything with Pete, and all of Season 6 (Jonas) and Heroes, Affinity, Smoke & Mirrors and probably Threads & Moebius in later chapters.

Disclaimer: blah blah I don't own them yada yada yada

a/n: this just had to come out, so bear with me, also, I changed some facts, and rearranged events, and things will happen differently in my little world of SG-1.

Jack walked into his seemingly emptier house. Ever since Sam had announced her intent to except Pete's marriage proposal, his life had become gray and dull. No longer could he look forward to life with her, she was going to be a married woman within months, and he was going to be a depressed divorcee. Damn it! He thought, as he sat down with a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand, the other holding a shot glass with the words "Beautiful CO Springs" printed on it in fancy script. It had been a gag gift from the team a couple of years earlier, while Daniel was ascended, and Sam had taken it upon herself to teach Jonas the dirty ways of American culture, hence the shot glass.

A banging from the front door indicated that the mail had just been pushed through the slot, and Jack, cursing his knees, walked up to get it. Ever since Sam had accepted Pete's ring, he had been dreading the mail, waiting for the frilly, happy card that would announce the wedding, and request his presence. Today is just not my day, he thought, as he found the envelope. But, instead of the wedding invitation he had been expecting, he found a handwritten note, in Sam's familiar script.

Dear Jack,

I figured that you probably didn't want some elaborate card, so I decided to just write what I wanted to say, not what Pete's mom wanted me to say.

You have been so much more than a CO over the years. You have been there for me, during everything, and have put up with my techno babble. You are one of the best friends (?) a girl could have. The question mark is my confusion. What I thought was more, obviously wasn't, which is why I found Pete. You have Kerry, and we are both happy (?). I want you to be there Jack, when I do this. You know as well as I that I have some reservations, and having you there would greatly help me. But, you don't have to come. Only if you want to.

All My Love,

Sam.

TBC... I have more written, I just need feedback, and it will come!
