Chapter eight
When Sam, Janet and Cassie walked out of the salon, they walked to Janet's car.
"Meet you two at my place. I'll go and pick something up for lunch."
"Ok, Sam," Janet said before her and Cassie got in and left for Sam's house.
Sam got into her car and left to go to subway to get a late lunch for the three of them. After she got the sandwiches, she headed on home thinking about her upcoming wedding, which was in two hours. When she arrived home and went inside, Cassie and Janet were already there. Sam put the rolls and pastries on the breakfast bar. Then she got them a drink from the fridge.
They talked while enjoying their late lunch. Sam told them what was going on so they could understand. She even showed them her engagement ring which they liked. They had just finished their lunch when there was a knock on the door. Sam went to see who it was. It was the florist who was dropping off the bouquets. She was pleased.
After the guys left, Sam put them on the dining room table just as Janet and Cassie walked over to see what was there. Sam got a white rose round bouquet while Janet and Cassie got green rose bouquets.
"Well, shall we get ready?"
They walked into Sam's bedroom and she brought out their dresses and shoes first. Then, while they were getting changed, Sam brought out her wedding dress and shoes. She put hers on the bed then she walked over to the bedside drawer, opened it up and pulled out two boxes. Then she closed the drawer. She turned around to see them in their dresses.
"You two look great, how are you feeling?"
"Great Sam! What colour is this dress?" Cassie asked.
"Peridot."
"Wow, same as the stone on your engagement ring."
"And don't forget birthstone as well."
"True!"
"Here, I got you two these."
She passed them their boxes and they opened them up. Inside was a heart shaped peridot, surrounded in diamonds, 18ct white gold pendant with a small heart on top and chain.
"Wow, Sam I love it," Cassie said taking it out of it's box.
Janet did the same and then they put them on and they both looked in the mirror and smiled.
"Come on, let's help Sam into her dress," Janet said.
They turned around and they helped Sam into her wedding dress. Once she was in it, she put on her pear earrings and necklace which had been in the family for five generations. While Sam was putting her earrings in, Janet put Sam's veil on and made sure it was ok. When done, Janet and Cassie stood back and looked at Sam.
"Sam, you look beautiful!" Cassie said.
"Thanks Cassie!" Then they heard a car pull up. Sam walked over to the window.
"Oh no!"
"Sam, what is it?"
"Pete's here!" Then she turned around and moved away from the window.
"Sam, what's wrong?" Cassie asked.
"Pete's working for the Trust, Cassie."
"What?" Janet was shocked.
"Yeah, the government wants me to see him, you know dates. I don't know if anyone is following him though."
"Yes, someone is following him," Cassie said looking outside. Then there was a knock on the door. Then the limo pulled up.
"Sam, the limo is here." Sam looked to see who was following Pete and saw it was Agent Barette from the NID.
"Sam, what are you going to do?"
"I'm thinking… ok Cassie, I want you to answer the door and if Pete wants to know where I am, tell him I'm at the St. Paul's Methodist church at a wedding and that your one of the bridesmaids and a friend from Janet's work is getting married."
"Ok." Then Cassie went to the door when Pete knocked again. Cassie answered it.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Ah yes, is Sam here?"
"No, she's at the St. Paul's Methodist church."
"Oh, I didn't know she was Methodist." Cassie smiled.
"No,a friend of mum's from work is getting married and she knows Sam."
"Oh, ok, what time's the wedding?"
"If you go now, you might make it before the bride gets there."
"Thanks." Then he left, Cassie closed the door then turned around to see Janet and Sam walking out.
"Nice work, Cassie!"
"Thanks Sam. I'll go and get our bouquets."
Cassie went to get them while Sam looked outside to see Pete getting into his truck and leaving. Then agent Barette left, following Pete.
"Ok, let's go!"
Sam opened the door and walked outside carrying her bouquet with Janet holding onto Sam's train and overnight bag. Cassie followed closing and locking the door and carrying hers and Janet's bouquets. They walked down to the limo and got in and they were on their way.
When Jack and Alex arrived, Alex was shocked when she saw the place.
"Jack, this place is beautiful. No wonder you and Sam picked this place."
"Well, there you go!"
Once parked, they both got out and Jack opened the back door to get two suits bags, two shoe bags and a small box out of the back seat before locking it up. Alex followed Jack into the Lodge, then he went up to the front desk to talk to the worker there. Then he turned to Alex, who was looking around
"Alex!"
She looked at Jack then followed him down to where Andy and Daniel were. When he walked into the room they were laughing.
"I hope you two weren't talking about me!" They both jumped then turned around to see Jack grinning and they noticed a woman behind him.
"Jack, what's going on?" Daniel asked.
"Here, change into these, and as for your question Daniel, I'm getting married in half an hour." He passed them their bags.
"What?" Both Andy and Daniel were in shock!
"Jack, who is it that you're marrying?"
"You will see. Oh, before I forget, Andy, Daniel. This is my baby half sister Alexandria O'Neill Jordan, so she likes to be called Alex."
"Hi, nice to meet you both."
"You too. Jack didn't tell us you had a sister!"
"Well, he can be full of surprises."
"True."
"Ok you two, get changed while Alex and I wait for you outside. We have guests showing up, including the big bosses." Then he walked out with Alex behind him.
"So, that's Daniel Jackson?"
"Yes, and no, you're not going to date him."
"Jack, I'm not a kid any more!" Then the door closed leaving the two shocked men behind.
"Well, we better do as he said," Andy said.
"Yeah, I didn't know he was seeing any one."
"Well, you heard what Alex said."
"I know." Then they started to get changed.
When Jack and Alex walked back outside, a car pulled up and two men got out. Jack smiled at them as they walked over to him.
"Sir, Jacob. I'm pleased you could make it."
"You sure can be full of surprises!"
"I'll drink to that!" Jack looked at his sister then back at Jacob.
"Care for introductions?"
"Hi, I'm Alex O'Neill Jordan, Jack's baby sister." They were both shocked and shook hands.
"I didn't know he had a sister!"
"Well, you and everyone at the SGC."
"How did you know about that?" George asked.
"I've worked at area fifty one for five years and now I'm at the pentagon and I do have full clearance and I know about Selmac!" She said, looking at Jacob.
"Really, so what do you think about what Jack has done in the last seven years?"
"My big brother, the hero, for what he has done. There's just one thing that's stopping him till now."
"Sam!" Jacob said.
"Yes, I've read all the mission reports from SG1 and I've been wondering when they were going to get their act together. I know Jack here all too well and I can tell from the reports that he loves her. And now that I know he's on borrowed time, it would give them a chance to be together, even if it is only for a couple of days."
"That is true." Then, seven black SUVs showed up. Men in suits got out and walked around.
"Excuse me." Jack walked over to two of the men.
"They look like a secret service detail," Alex said.
"Could be." They watched the men walking around checking the area out then they heard, "What's going on?" Daniel said.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Alex said.
Then cars and SUVS showed up and people were getting out. They were scanned before moving on. Jack returned to where they were.
"Shall we? They will follow."
They followed Jack down to where the church was. When they got there, the minister, who was doing the service, was there. Jack passed him the appropriate papers. Then the minister went inside since the guests were showing up. Jacob moved out of the way while Jack was welcoming everyone. Most of them asked who the bride was and he said,
"You will see."
When almost everyone had arrived, Jack saw a limo pull up and a family got out. He turned to look at Jacob's shocked face and stepped forward.
"Mark!"
"Dad!" They both hugged.
"What's going on?"
"Sam's getting married!"
"Wow, she could have told me!"
"You know what she's is like."
"True, so her and Pete. He could have told me."
"Mark, Sam's not marrying Pete." Mark was shocked.
"Then who?"
"Me!" He turned to look at Jack then back to Jacob.
"Dad, Sam's been seeing Pete!"
"Mark, I'll explain to you after."
"Ok!"
"Mark, did you follow the instructions in the letter?"
"Yes, and I haven't called Pete… yet."
"Good, and don't! We're going to have a chat, but not now," Jack said. He nodded.
"Go inside! You guys have the front seats."
"Ok, dad!"
Then they walked inside just as another two limos pulled up. The ones who were there were shocked when they saw General Ryan and his wife get out of the first limo and Henry Hayes get out of the second one.
"Sir's, ma'am, I'm pleased you could make it."
"Colonel, what is going on? We got your retirement letter and wedding invitation but it didn't say who the bride is?"
"You will find out soon! Shall we? The bridal car will be here any minute." They walked inside the church and walked up to the front. Everyone there was shocked to see who had shown up.
When Pete arrived at the church, he saw heaps of people there going in. So he walked in and sat down since it was almost full. He looked around, looking for Sam, but he couldn't see her, so he knew he had to wait till after the wedding.
A few minutes later, Sam's bridal car showed up and they all got out. Jacob was there, waiting for them. He saw what Cassie and Janet were wearing; they were wearing peridot georgette spaghetti strap A-line dresses with a wrap.
They were wearing the necklaces that Sam had given to them and medium silver tiaras with crystals and peridot gemstones. Cassie smiled when she saw Jacob.
"Hi Jacob, you're going to love the bride."
"Really?"
"Yep!"
Then Sam got out of the limo and Janet quickly picked up Sam's train. When Jacob saw her, he was mesmerised.
"Hi, dad!"
"Sam, you look beautiful!"
"Thanks!"
Sam was wearing an ivory, strapped sweetheart neckline, wedding dress with beaded Alencon lace and 132 inch detachable royal cathedral train. She had her hair styled for her sweetheart tiara to fit and for her triple layer pearl beaded edge veil.
"Shall we go and surprise everyone?" Jacob grinned.
"Sure!"
They walked into the first part of the church. Sam gave the agent a nod, and he spoke into his sleeve. Then the music started and the doors opened. Cassie walked down first till she was half way. Then Janet started walking till they both were up at the front.
Then the music changed and everyone stood up and turned to see the doors open once again. Then Sam and Jacob started walking down the aisle. All the SGC personnel were shocked to see that the bride was none other than Sam.
When Mark turned around and saw Sam, he was shocked but he couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. When he saw her eyes, all he saw was happiness and love. Then he turned and looked at Jack. He could see the same things in his eyes when he turned to see Sam walking towards him.
He noticed that they were looking at each other and not breaking eye contact till she was standing next to him. When he looked at his father, he saw how happy and how proud he was to walk Sam down the aisle. He had seen the same look in his father-in-law's face when he hadwalked his bride down the aisle. When they reached the front, Jacob put Sam's hand into his and said,
"Look after her son."
"I will!"
Then he turned and gave Sam a kiss on the cheek before walking over and sitting down when everyone else sat down. Then Sam and Jack walked up the steps so the ones at the back could see them.
Then the minister passed them mini microphones, which they were able to attach to their suit and dress so everyone could hear them saying their vows to each other. Then Sam passed her bouquet to Janet then turned back to look at Jack just as the wedding ceremony began..
