"See you soon George"
"You to" then George pulled a white stone out of his pocket and he was beamed away
"Shall we" They held on to each others hand and they were beamed aboard the ship.
"How is he Thor?" Sam asked
"I'm waking him up now" they watched the pod open and Sam stepped forward when she heard Jack groan which made her smile.
"Jack"
"Carter" She turned to look at Thor
"Does he remember any thing?"
"No, I'm sorry Major Carter" She looked at her father with a sad look on her face before turning to look at Jack again who was looking at Sam
"Hey" she said
"Hey, saved Earth?"
"Yes, you saved Earth and I saved the galaxy"
"Oh" he sat up
"Yeah no more replicator bugs to deal with"
"Sweet" then he saw Jacob and Thor
"Jacob, Thor buddy, thanks for removing the crap out of my head, got any aspirin"
"Your memory will return to normal soon"
"Ah, so Jacob hows the Tok'ra?"
"Good I think after what has happened in the past eleven days things are going to change for both Tok'ra and jaffa"
"Sweet" then he felt something and looked down at his hand and looked up at Jacob and then to Sam, then he looked at her left hand and saw the wedding ring as well.
"Dad, Thor can I speck to the colonel alone for a moment"
"Sure Sam" Jacob and Thor beamed to another room. Sam turned to look at Jack
"Carter"
"Sam, Jack"
"Care to explain" he lifted his left hand. Sam pulled out the envelope and passed it to him
"Read this and you will understand" Jack looked at it and opened it up. The first sheet is a copy of the letter to Hammond; he read that, then he read his will and he look at the third one that is his nanna will. When he finished reading them, he looked up at Sam.
"So we are really married?"
"Yes"
"Where did we get married?" Paris Las Vegas up in the Eiffel tower, Daniel was your best man and Janet was my Martian of honour"
"Was it a good wedding?"
"Yes, we had it video taped so you can watch it again"
"That would be good since I don't remember it"
"Well you did tell me when this mess is sorted out that we have a second one where you can remember it and also share it with family and friends, oh dad will want a talk to you about that" she said smiling.
"Did you look beautiful?"
"You told me every half an hour when I was wearing the dress that I looked beautiful" Jack smiled and held on to her hand.
"Sam, tell me how I purposed to you"
"How about I tell you every thing, the engagement, the wedding honey moon, every thing right up to when we were called back to the SGC"
"Sure" Sam sat down next to Jack, she told him every thing, not knowing that Hammond and the president were beamed aboard the 'Carter' and were watching and listening in. an hour later Sam looked at him after telling him every thing.
"Wow, so we had a good time?"
"Yes we did, including the sex"
"It's a shame I can't remember the sex" Sam giggled
"Don't worry we will do it again so then you can remember what happened"
"Sweet"
"Any regrets?"
"Yes, that we didn't get hitched eight years ago!" Sam smiled at him and he leant over and gave her a kiss, which became passionate as they wrapped their arms around each other, till they heard some one cleared their throat, they pulled apart and turned to see Thor, the president, Hammond and Jacob looking at them.
"General, Mr President, dad, Thor, is there some thing we can do for you?" Jack said smiling.
"On behalf of Earth and allies' thank you for saving Earth and the galaxy of the replicators and Anubis and super soldiers" Henry said smiling.
"Just doing our job sir"
"I know colonel; we all heard what Major Carter told you about your wedding"
"What? You've been listening, Thor, you to?"
"Yes, O'Neill, I am sorry for as you say eavesdropping" they all laugh
"Yes that's right, so sir are you going to reconcile my retirement?"
"Yes and no"
"What do you mean?" Hammond explained what's been going on and the changes at the SGC, and now with the ancient out post, they're going to put Dr Weir in change.
"So who goes to the shrub sirs?"
"You are brigadier General Jack O'Neill" Henry said smiling.
"General ah, that's on my list" then he looked at Sam, then to the men in front of them
"Sorry, I can't take it"
"Yes you can and you will"
"Excuse me, I have saved this planet's ass god knows how many times, it's about time I do some thing for me for once, sirs" Sam looked at them and looked at her father last, they were all smiling.
"Jack"
"What?" He turned to look at her, which she turned to look at him and smiled.
"No Sam"
"Jack you can still retire but as brigadier General, remember what General Hammond said that all governments want a civilian to run the SGC like what Dr Weir did. They want you to fill in General Hammond's shoes but as a civilian" Jack looked at Sam and then turned to the guys
"Is this true?" They all nodded.
"Cool I'm going to be the man" Sam giggled.
"But you guys are going to have all the fun" he said looking at Sam.
"You can come with us on some missions, who's going to be leader of SG1?" She looked at Hammond.
"You are Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter" Hammond said to a shocked but happy Sam.
"Wow"
"You earned it Sam, congratulations"
"Thank you sirs"
"Well done Sam I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks dad. Sam got up as Jacob stepped forward to give her a hug. Then Jack got up and gave her a hug and kiss.
"Well done Sam"
"Thanks Jack!" They kissed one more time before turning to the others
"So what happens now?" Jack asked
"I've got to get back to my office; we will have the ceremony on Friday"
"Ok what day is it today?"
"Tuesday"
"Ok, fine by me"
"Thor can you beam me back to my office"
"It was honour of meeting you Mr President"
"You to Thor, drop by any time"
"Thank you" Thor moved a stone and the president was gone.
"Well we better get back our selves, so Thor can you transport us back to the SGC?"
"Yes, it is good to see you again general Hammond"
"You to Thor"
"Thank you Thor for every thing"
"You are welcome O'Neill" then they were beamed down to the gate room
"I'm back" Jack and Sam said at the same time and then burst out laughing.
"Welcome back major Carter, Colonel O'Neill" Walter said over the PA system.
Teal'c and Daniel were walking to the mess hall when they head what Walter said, so they turned around and ran down to the gate room to see some of the personal there congratulating them for what they did. For the next three hours every one congratulated them for what they have done to save earth, as well Jack facing Janet's needles and a slice of cake with Jacks name on it. He was happy. Jacob returned back to the Tok'ra, informing them the good news and the talk Sel'mac had with Thor.
Over the next three days, Sam had been busy writing up her long report, while Jack was doing what he normally does, annoying Daniel or Sam. On Friday morning Jacob showed up for Sam and Jack's promotion ceremony. Every one on the base was pleased that they both got promoted after what they have done for earth, allies and the galaxy and the announcement of their engagement and wedding date, which they were all happy about. After wards, Jack spoke to the president
"Sir what is going to happen about, you know Sam and my wedding?" Henry smiled
"It's already taken care of, George and I spoke about that and even though you put the fourteenth down for the date for your retirement. It will take three weeks for the paper work to go through, cause of the long delay with what happened with Anubis" he said smiling.
"Thanks" they both shook hands then Sam walked over to them.
"Hey is every thing ok?"
"Yep just getting the last of the retirement paper work sorted out"
"Oh, ok. Sir we hope you can make it to our second wedding next month?"
"Yes I'll be here for it, George already told me"
"That's good to know, we sorted out the wedding innovations yesterday and I've e-mail my family about the wedding, weather they will come or not is up to them"
"Ok so where are you having the wedding?"
"Pine crest, up at Palmer Lake"
"It a beautiful place sir, we're going to have both the wedding and reception there" Sam said smiling. Both her and Jack went up to see the place the day before and both fell in love with it and decided to book it for the weekend for the wedding since one weekend was free.
"Well I'll be looking forward to seeing the place when the time comes up, so how many are you expecting?"
"We don't know sir about three hundred plus sir"
"Ok, well I'll be looking forward to it"
"Same here sir! May I have a look at the ring?" Sam showed Henry her engagement ring
"Wow, it's big and beautiful"
"Thank you sir, it use to belong to Jack's great grand mother" he let go of Sam's hand.
"Family heirloom, that sort of thing happens rear these days"
"True" They talked for few more minutes before they mingled for a while. Sam's cell phone rings, so she walked out of the mess hall where there was finger food and drinks for all the personal.
"Carter" when she walked down to corroder for a bit
"Hi Sam, I got your message what's going on?"
"Hi mark, what's going on? I'm getting married next month again!"
"What do you mean, why didn't you tell me you and Pete got married?" Sam closed her eyes when Pete's name was brought up.
"Mark I didn't marry Pete, I like him, but I didn't love him"
"Who did you marry?"
"Jack O'Neill"
"What your CO, Sam what about the regs?"
"Mark Jack retired the day before we got married; the reason why we got married because he was going on a dangerous mission and the chances for him to survive was low"
"Sam, when did you two get married?"
"Two weeks tomorrow and the wedding is in four weeks time, I hope you and the family can make it"
"What about dad, does he know?"
"Yes, dad does know Mark and he knows that I'm happy"
"Well so long as you are happy Sam"
"I am" then an airman showed up
"Colonel Carter this fax came for you" he pass the fax to Sam
"Thank you airmen, dismiss"
"Sam did he call you Colonel Carter?"
"Yes that's correct, both Jack and I have been promoted this morning"
"But he retired?"
"The paper work is a bit slow at the moment around here cause of number of missions and other things going on in the past few weeks"
"Oh, ok" Sam read the fax
"That son of a bitch"
"Sam"
"What, sorry Mark, I've just received a fax, Pete got a friend of his to do a back round check on me, my private life"
"What?"
"Yeah, this isn't the first time he's done it mark"
"What, Sam I'm sorry"
"Mark it's not your fault, I'll deal with it me self"
"Ok Sam, look I better go when's the date for the wedding?"
"29th"
"Ok we will be there for it Sam"
"Thanks Mark, I better go, talk to you next week"
"Ok Sam, take care"
"I will, give my love to the rest of the family"
"I will bye"
"Bye Mark" then she hung up. And walk back into the mess hall, she walked over to where Jacob and Hammond is, she showed Hammond the fax and he read it then showed it to Jacob.
"Sir Permission to leave the base and go and deal with Detective Shannon"
"Granted, take Jack with you"
"Yes sir, thank you"
"Sam you don't mind if I tag along" Sam smiled.
"Sure why not dad?"
"Should I get changed?" They were all still in there dress blues
"Nope, come on at lest you might see me in some action even if it is by word of mouth"
"Sure let's go and find him, and get out of here"
"Ok dad, sir" they went to find Jack, who was talking to Cassie. She was happy that Jack and Sam got married but upset that she wasn't with then when they got married, but she understands when Janet explained to her what was going on so she could understand. They walked over to Jack who looked up and he looked into Sam eyes and saw anger.
"Sam what is it?" she showed him the fax and he read it
"Want to come for a drive Jack?"
"Yep, let's go" Cassie looked at the fax and quickly read it before the three of them left. She went and found Janet who was talking to Daniel and Dr Lee. She told them about the fax, Sam got and how angry she was. With in a few minutes every one found out about it and asked Hammond if it was true, which he said it is. Twenty minutes later they arrived at the Colorado spring police department and they walked in up to the front desk.
