"So, when are you coming to Smallville so we can celebrate you being made General?" Jonathan Kent asked his old friend.

"Soon, I need to have a talk with the president first!" Jack O'Neill replied.

"Why? You're in trouble?" The farmer sounded worried for his old friend.

"No, I just need to see if he can bend the rules a little…"

"Oh… Your Sam…" Jonathan knew all too well the feelings his best friends had for his second in command.

"Exactly…I'm hopping to change his mind about this…" Jack said.

"Well, good luck and bring her with you next time you visit us!"

"Sure, no problems!" Jack replied before he hung up.

Jack was a few minutes away from the meeting that would dictate his future… He wanted to be with Sam and nothing would stop him from this… Either the president was letting them be together and he kept saving the planet or he refused and Jack handed him his resignation letter. He had talked about it with Sam for a while and they had agreed. Of course she wasn't happy with him sacrificing his job but he refused to let her quit hers. However he knew that if he had to retire, she would hand her resignation right after…

"You ready General?"

"Sam, how many times did I tell you lately? It's Jack now!" he replied as he rolled his eyes.

"So, are you ready to go in?" She asked again with a soft smile.

"I am if you are!" He said.

"Let's go then."

They both walked in the office and stood in front of the president, the vice president and the chief of staff.

"So, what is this about Jack?" The president asked.

"Mister President, I won't beat around the bush. I love Carter and she loves me. I want to be with her. If you don't give us permission, I will retire immediately." Jack said.

"And I will hand my resignation in too. I won't work for the air force ever again!" Sam added.

"What? Why?"

"Because we're in love… We have been for a while but worked hard to ignore it because we were needed at the SGC…" Jack said.

"Now that Anubis is dead, we're tired of staying away from each other… Risking our lives and not knowing if we will be able to be together at some point in our lives…" Sam added.

"I don't know what to say…" The president said.

"Yes or no…" Jack said.

Just as the president was about to open his mouth to speak, a bright light appeared and left Thor in the office.

"Mister President, I'm here to warn you that you have to allow them to be together. We know they love each other and we have implanted Colonel Carter with Jack O'Neill's child. It's their dream. If you force them apart, we will stop working with Earth!" Thor said before he turned toward Jack and Sam, who both looked shocked at the news, bowed his head in greeting and left.

"Did I just hear right?" Sam asked.

"I think you did Sam… Did he say… Did he say you were pregnant with my child?" Jack asked in awe.

The president and the other people in the room were just as chocked as they were and didn't know what to say anymore…

After a few minutes of silence the President said:

"Okay then… I will give you two a special permission to be together and raise your child as a normal family. Jack, you'll be able to keep your post of head of the SGC and Colonel Carter will keep her position as well…as long as you report to…" However he was interrupted by Sam:

"Actually, if I'm having a child I'm going to resign my commission… I'd rather be just a civilian scientist." She said.

She had talked about this possibility with Jack before and she knew he liked that idea.

"Very well then… That's settled. Why don't you two take a couple of weeks of vacation? George will hold the fort until you get back!" The president said, dismissing them.

"Great, I know just the place!" Jack said as he exited the office with Sam.

"And where is that?" She asked him.

"Smallville, Kansas!" he said before he explained to her his long friendship with Jonathan Kent and how he was godfather for his best friend's son.

Jack and Jonathan had met when they were 6 years old, during summer camp. They had become fast friends and kept in touch ever since. They had spent every summer of their childhood together and as they grew up, they grew closer. Jack was present at Jonathan's wedding with Martha and he knew that Clark's adoption wasn't very legal but didn't say a thing. He knew how much having a child was important to his friend so he supported them. The Kent's had been present at Jack's son's funeral too, supporting him. Jack remembered that Clark had stayed by his side, comforting him while Martha helped Sara and Jonathan took care of everything else. They were his family and he couldn't wait to tell them the good news!

He always knew there was something Jonathan and Martha didn't tell him about Clark but considering his job, he couldn't blame them for having secrets to keep…
