Epilogue

A few days later Jed and Abbey were having a night together before Abbey left to visit her grandchildren.

You know, Abbey, you never told me what you and Dr. Carter were talking about when they were leaving. I looked over and Dr. Carter looked a little embarrassed, even Jack faltered in his conversation with me.

I found out the reason why Jack doesn't like Sam giggling.

Oh? Are you going to share this piece of information?

She told me that Daniel and Tealc had made it back to the SGC, but her and Jack had been sent to Antarctica. They had to share body heat.

Abbey grinned at her husband.

Are you telling me they had sex? They aren't allowed to have a relationship like that in the same chain of command.

No they didn't, boyfriend, no matter how sorely tempted Jack was feeling at the time.

She stared at Jed as she made her way slowly across the room, seductively removing her clothes. Jed gulped and stared back at her becoming increasingly aroused. Trying to remain on the conversation, Jed replied

That still doesn't explain the Captain's giggling.

Abbey reached him and placed her hand over his crotch. Jed's breath hitched and Abbey giggled replying

The Colonel kept insisting it was just his side arm.

Oh God...Jed groaned both at the member his wife was touching, but also, feeling it a bit for the Colonel.

It wasn't long before Jed and Abbey had gotten into bed. As Jed bathed in the aftermath of their love making, he reflected on Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter's must be so hard to be working with someone, but not to be able to love them. No wonder Jack had made a no giggling rule; it just reminded him of an intimate moment between them when they both had remained professional. How incredibly frustrated they both must be! If only there was a way he could somehow make it possible for them to be together, but in his somewhat groggy state, he couldn't see it. It required some thought, but now was not the time. Jed smiled to himself as he looked over at Abbey, the love of his life, right beside him. Jed snuggled down under the covers, put an arm around Abbey and drifted off to a content sleep.
