Interruptions

Chapter Twenty-Five

Sam was freaking out.

"Calm down, Sam!" Vala was trying desperately to calm Sam down.

"I'm so nervous." Sam admitted. "I'm getting married tomorrow!"

Vala smiled. "See, nothing to worry about. This is the sort of panic attack you should be having tomorrow morning." She looked thoughtful. "How about some blue jello? That should help calm the nerves."

Sam had to smile. "That sounds good actually."

So they walked to commissary and sat, Sam with blue jello, and Vala with red.

"Are you happy you're getting married tomorrow?" Vala asked.

"Are you kidding? Of course I am!" Sam replied.

"So why are you nervous?" Vala queried. "You're not going to change your mind, are you?"

"No!"

"So, there really is no reason to be nervous."

Sam looked at Vala. "You're right. But this is still a big step in my life. That's why I'm nervous."

Vala smiled. "Well, at least you know why you're nervous. A lot of people when they're nervous, are just nervous, with no idea as to why."

Sam shrugged. "I'm not most people."

"That's true." Vala replied.

"So, are you ready?" Sam asked.

"For the wedding? Sure I am. Looking forward to it. Can't wait." Vala grinned. "It's going to be great!"

Sam smiled. "Thanks."

"No problem." Vala answered.

Sam lay in bed that night, beside Jack. She was smiling at him again. He smiled back.

"We're getting married tomorrow." Sam said.

"I know. Isn't it exciting?" Jack replied.

"Yes."

Jack took one of Sam's hands and held it gently.

"I Just hope we're not interrupted by something." Sam said. "There seems to be a lot of interruptions since we began a proper relationship."

"I'm marrying you tomorrow, Sam." Jack said. "No matter what. The Tok'ra could contact us asking for help, and I'd say 'nope, getting married.' The missing pilot from that Death Glider could turn up, I'd say 'don't care, getting married.' The Asgard could magically blink into existence, and you know what?"

"What?" Sam asked.

"I'd say, 'come back another day, getting married.'"

"Getting married." Sam joined in with Jack, and they both laughed.

"And I'm finally going to spend the rest of my life with you." Jack smiled. "You're stuck with me, Carter."

"And you're stuck with me, sir." Sam replied.

Jack leant forward and kissed Sam. "I could never be 'stuck' with you. I love you, so, so much."

"Just like I'm not 'stuck' with you. I chose for you to be in my life." Sam replied. "And now, I can't imagine my life without you in it."

Jack suddenly laughed.

Sam frowned, looking confused. "What?"

"Well, at least we know getting married tomorrow isn't going to be a bug mistake."

Sam laughed too. "I never thought it would be a mistake."

"Nor did I." Jack replied, and he kissed her again. "Now get some sleep, you'll need it."

"Yes, sir." Sam replied with a yawn. The last thing she saw was Jack, staring tenderly at her.
