Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own them, just borrowing them for a bit.

Time: Post season 10. Set during the episode "Reunion" in SGA season 4.

Characters: Sam/Jack, Rodney

A/N: I suppose this chapter is technically a Stargate: Atlantis fic, but it fits in with the theme of "Revelations" so I decided to include it here instead of creating a completely separate story. I'm in the process of re-watching Stargate: Atlantis and happened to watch the episode where Sam takes command of the city this morning. After watching it I couldn't resist doing a few chapters with Rodney.

This first one is what I think could have happened if Ronan had shown up in Sam's office a few seconds later than he does in the episode. For this chapter dialogue in italics is taken directly from the episode and doesn't belong to me.

Married!

Sam was in the process of getting settled into her new office in Atlantis when she noticed Rodney entering the doorway. While she was mostly looking forward to her new assignment, Sam was a little concerned about how she was going to work with Rodney day in and day out without wanting to strangle the man. She was pleasantly surprised, however, as he presented her with flowers and began to welcome her to the city all without making any remarks about…

"… and did I mention I was seeing someone?"

"I'm sorry, what?" Sam shook her head slightly in exasperation; so much for being pleasantly surprised.

"I'm, ah, seeing someone. Yes, I, I only bring it up now because you're here now and we'll be working together a lot more and, you know, I just thought with our past."

"Our past?" Sam groaned inwardly. This man was deluded.

"Well, you know, the unrequited lust that's been hanging over our heads for what seems like forever."

"Rodney…"

"Yeah, I just don't want things to be awkward between the two of us, you know, uh… kind of like they are now."

"Rodney, I'm sure we'll be fine."

"Oh, of course, I mean, I'll be fine. I'm just… with you…" Sam couldn't take it anymore. She had intended to keep her relationship with Jack as quiet here as she had back at the SGC, but enough was enough.

"Rodney, I'm married."

"You're what! Did you just say married!"

"Yes, Rodney. Married. Very happily married I might add."

"But, but to who?" Rodney stammered. Sam didn't answer, but instead gestured to a framed picture sitting in one of the boxes on her desk. "Him? But that looks like…" Rodney's eyes widened as he began to catch on. "You're joking right. This has to be a joke. You can't possibly be married to him. I mean he's… old. Plus, I'm way smarter than he is!"

"No joke, Rodney." Sam replied pulling out her dog tags to show him the engagement and wedding rings she kept there when she was on duty. "I'm married to Major General Jack O'Neill."

"That's just not fair." Rodney mumbled in response.

Sam was sure that the news of her marriage would spread to the rest of the city by the end of the day, but honestly she didn't care anymore. Seeing the expression currently on Rodney's face was well worth it.
