part ten

A half hour later everyone at the celebration gathered in front of the altar. There were about two hundred and fifty people there. They all appeared to be paired up. Daniel was with Sam and Jack was standing there with Anise.

Jack didn't really know what was going on. He wasn't particularly happy to be there with Anise, but then again he wasn't feeling any pain either. He was pretty drunk and feeling good. Anise reached over to take his hand, then his arm as he stumbled a little.

The priest began the service asking the participants to repeat after him. Jack just mumbled along. He didn't understand what the priest was saying anyway.

Sam didn't understand the words either, but she was able to repeat the words. She would look over to Daniel and smile. She was there with Daniel and that was the only thing that mattered to her.

Freda knew what was happening even though she didn't understand the language. She was able to repeat the words like Sam. Freda was going to be happy because after tonight they were going to be man and wife. And if she was lucky she would be with child after tonight.

Daniel, being fluent in over twenty five languages, was able to follow along with the service. It was very good one. It was well thought out. He would occasionally look over to Sam and smile.

When they came to the point in the ceremony where they were to exchange their vows. He was stunned as he realized what was happening. Sam noticed that something was wrong with Daniel.

"Daniel, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Do you know why we are here? Are you aware of what's happening?" Daniel asked Sam.

"Aren't we giving thanks for a good year." replied Sam.

"Not exactly Sam. I have a sneaking suspicion though Anise may understand exactly what is happening here." replied Daniel as he looked over at Jack and Freda.

Freda was holding onto Jack's arm and snuggling as close to him as possible with a smile on her face.

"I don't understand Daniel." replied a puzzled Sam.

"This is a marriage ceremony Sam. We're being married." explained Daniel.

"What! Are you sure?" asked Sam.

"Yes Sam, is that alright with you?" asked Daniel.

"Sure, I guess, but it would have been nice to have my father here." replied Sam.

Daniel smiled then commented "What do you think Jack is going to do when he finds out that he married Anise?"

"He doesn't know? asked Sam.

"Come on Sam, you didn't even know. Jack is as dense as one can be when it comes to things like this, besides he is so loaded at the moment he won't even remember what happened here tonight." smiled Daniel.

"That's true Daniel. We both know how much he dislikes the Tok'ra." agreed Sam.

"And Freda has been all over him tonight and Jack hasn't said much about it or even fought her attention." grinned Daniel.

"I can't wait to get home and tell everyone." beamed Sam excitedly.

"You can't Sam, it wouldn't be fair to Jack, but I think you probably should brief General Hammond about what happened here tonight. After all we're going to have to tell him we got married too.

He should be prepare to know what to expect in the future when Anise shows up again at the SGC." argued Daniel.

"What do you think the General will do? Is Anise coming back with us? Is she going to live with Jack?" asked Sam.

"I don't have any idea Sam. I don't really know what Anise plans on doing, but I think the General will be happy for us." replied Daniel.

"He definitely will get a kick out of Jack getting married to Anise." laughed Sam.

When the ceremony was over they were led to their own tents to spend the night together. Daniel and Sam spent the night making passionate love, making up for all the lost time they missed the last couple of years. They were very happy when they finally fell asleep in each other's arms.

In another tent Freda and Jack were doing the same. Freda was quite surprised at Jack's stamina. She thought she would be lucky to get Jack to perform once for her, but he was able to last half the night before falling asleep with Freda cuddled in his arms.

The next morning Jack woke up in bed alone with the mother of all hangovers. Freda was gone thankfully thought Jack. He barely remembered that he attended a banquet last night with Daniel, Cater, and her. He shuddered at the thought.

There was supposed to be a service afterwards in which he had no idea as usual, what it was for. The last thing he remembered was Freda helping him into the tent and bed.

What was strange about it though as he thought about it, Anise was very chummy with him. It was like she was trying to seduce him or get him to like her. He really didn't know which.

He was thinking too much. His head was killing him. He hated it when he thought too much. He must have had the biggest headache he ever had. He slowly got up and got dress. He figured he might as well find Daniel and Carter.

There was no sense of them hanging around here. There was nothing of interest here to help them in their fight against the gao'uld.

It was time to head back to the Star Gate and to the SGC. But where would he look for them? Hopefully it would be some place where he could get something to eat and some strong coffee.

In another tent Samantha was slowly waking up. She was lying in Daniel's arms, such a pleasant thought. It hadn't been a dream after all. Daniel was lying there with her gazing lovingly at her.

"Good morning Dr. Jackson." greeted Daniel.

"Good morning to you too, Dr. Jackson." cooed Sam.

"What do you want to do?" asked Daniel.

"Make love to you again, but I think we should get up." replied Sam as she continued to lie there in his arms.

"I like the first option better." responded Daniel as he gave her a kiss. He tried to get her interested in making love again.

"I do too, but I think we better find Jack before he finds us. I don't really want him to see us like this." argued Sam.

"Unfortunately you're right. It's one thing for the General to know about us, but Jack? It could lead to some unnecessary complications." agreed Daniel.

"Let's get up and get dress." ordered Sam before kissing Daniel again.

An hour later Jack found Daniel and Sam. They had looked around the grounds for Jack earlier, but couldn't find him. They had come across a large tent serving breakfast for those who had decided to get out of bed instead of continuing the activities of the night before.

"Well, well, look at what the cat finally drag in. Jack, you look like dog shit." Daniel greeted Jack.

"Not surprising considering how I'm feeling. I think I drank too much last night. I don't remember a thing." replied Jack. "There any coffee in here?"

"Yeah, I think that's what they call it. Taste more like mud to me." answered Daniel.

"Sir! I notice you're here by yourself. What happen to your lady friend?" teased Sam with a smile.

"What? It's too early to playing mind games Carter." moaned Jack holding his head.

"Anise Sir, where's Anise? You two were pretty chummy last night. We caught you two making out like two horny teenagers." smirked Sam.

"I don't think so Carter. Me and Snakeheads don't get along." snarled Jack.

"You did last night Jack. You were going at it pretty heavy. I had to cover Sam's eyes. I didn't want her to see Uncle Jack being such a naughty boy. I didn't know an old fart like you still had anything left in the tank." smiled Daniel as Sam began to laugh.

Jack was turning red with embarrassment. He knew he had been drinking quite heavily last night. Anything was possible. Anise or should he say Freda did have a very delicious and desirable body. Only a fool wouldn't want to make passionate love to her.

And he knew Freda had feelings for him. She had been kissing him a few times over the last couple of weeks. Then he remembered part of a conversation with Anise. She had asked him, if he didn't know her and he had met her in a bar, would he want to make love to her. He had told her yes without a doubt.

He remembered her then convincing him that for one night that he should forget about whom she was and think of her as only a desirable woman longing for his touch.

It hadn't been more than a few minutes later that he was indeed kissing her passionately, devouring her lips, mouth and neck before Daniel and Carter had interrupted them.

He knew then that he wanted to get her somewhere more private to make love to her. Maybe that's what eventually did happen. Then again deniability was everything in the military.

"Earth to Jack, come back to reality." laughed Daniel.

"I vaguely remember kissing Freda, but not much else after that." answered Jack. Deniability, deniability, deniability.

"The last time we saw both of you, she was draped all over you as you were being led to a tent. I think you know what happened after that Sir." laughed Daniel and Sam.

"Which leads us back to the original question Sir, where is Freda?" asked Sam.

"I don't know. If she was with me last night, she was gone by the time I woke up this morning." replied Jack. His head was killing him.

"Too bad Jack, I guess that means you weren't too good in bed. Otherwise she would have wanted an encore performance this morning." laughed Daniel.

"You're not very amusing Daniel." snapped Jack.

"Yes he is Sir." laughed Sam.

"Carter! By the way what happened to the two of you?" asked Jack trying to change the conversation.

"It's classified Sir. We were here to observed Anise and report back to the General." smiled Samantha.

"Carter! Don't you dare mention one word to General Hammond about what you saw happen here last night. That's an order!" yelled Jack.

"Sorry Sir, but the General was quite specific to me that if Anise tried to seduce you or Daniel, I was to report that action to him. He would be the one to make the final decision if you were compromise and were now a security risk." replied Sam smiling.

Jack was totally bummed out now. All indications were that he probably did make love to Freda, who, despite the fact he didn't like, was truly a gorgeous woman. The sad part was he didn't remember any of it.

"Let's go. Time to get back to the Star Gate and SGC." ordered Jack.

A week later Sam called Mac to tell her about her trip. She didn't tell Mac that they had gone to another planet, she just told Mac they had gone over seas.

They had visited a culture that modern time had long since forgotten. She told Mac that Jack and Freda had taken part in a local ceremony. It was later that they learned Jack and Freda had gotten married.
