Chapter 48

"Jack, Sam; what are you two doing here and where are the kids?"

"Cassie is babysitting while we went out to dinner sir" Sam said.

"Ok, so why are you here?"

"We need to send a message to Jacob."

"Why?"

"Well sir" Jack stopped, finding himself suddenly speechless.

Sam stepped forward, still smiling, and showed him her left hand. Hammond saw the ring, smiled and then he got up and walked around and gave Sam a hug.

"Congratulations you two and yes you can send the message to Jacob." Hammond shook Jack's hand.

"Thanks sir; we have already set a date, the 4th of July."

"That's only four weeks away; do you think you can pull it off in time?"

"With some help sir, yes."

"Ok, so what have you got planned so far?"

Jack and Sam sat down and told Hammond where they were planning on having the wedding and what they would like done for it.

"Do you think that there is enough room for both the wedding ceremony and the reception?"

"Sir, there are over two acres; I think that there is plenty of room."

"Well then, if you need any help, just let me know."

"Yes sir, we will."

"Well, if that is all, you are dismissed and don't forget to contact the Tok'ra."

"Sir, there is one problem and that is my brother Mark."

"Yes, I see; leave it to me."

"Thank you, sir."

They got up and walked out of the office and headed down to the control room so that Sam could send the message. Hammond got on the red phone, pressed button two and let the President know the latest news with Jack and Sam. After Sam sent the message to the Tok'ra they headed back up to the surface. When they reached Jack's truck,

"You know Sam; I reckon that by now everyone at the White House and the Pentagon will know about our engagement."

"True; so what do you want to do Jack?"

"Let's go and visit our two favourite doctors and give them the good news."

"A great idea."

Jack started up the truck and they drove to Janet's place. A few minutes later they arrived and the lights were still on, so they got out and walked up the steps and knocked on the door. A minute later Daniel answered, with a shocked look on his face.

"Jack, Sam, what are you two doing here?"

"Can we come in?"

"Sure, Janet is in the kitchen."

They walked into the house and walked into the kitchen to see Janet sitting at the breakfast bar, eating potato chips and guacamole dip and washing it down with a half a gallon of strawberry milk.

"Some one is hungry?" Janet turned around to see who it was and smiled.

"Hey, what are you two doing here?"

"We need you to help us?"

"Help you with what Sam?" Janet asked.

"Brides maid?" Sam said, looking at Janet.

"And a best man" Jack said, looking at Daniel. They were shocked.

"What? Are you two getting married?" Daniel asked.

"Yep, so what do you say Daniel?"

"Of course" Sam showed Janet her engagement ring.

"Oh Sam it is beautiful", and they hugged.

They about what they needed to plan for the wedding. Daniel made Jack a cup of coffee while Sam had some of the strawberry milk. They sat in the living room, talking and planning for several hours and then Janet started to yawn.

"We better get going; we will see you guys in the morning" Jack said as they got up. Daniel helped Janet up from her chair and walked to the door. They said their good nights and Jack and Sam left.

They headed home and on the way Jack filled up his truck. Half an hour later they arrived home; the kids and Cassie was sound asleep, so they went to bed themselves.

When they got to their bedroom they kissed and Jack lifted Sam's dress up and he put his hand between her legs. He pulled back to see Sam smiling.

"If I had known that you weren't wearing panties, I would have fucked you on the blanket tonight" Sam giggled.

"Well, how about now."

"Ok, get naked woman so I can fuck your brains out."

"You too fly boy" they kiss and got undressed.

Sam lay, naked, in the middle of the turned down bed with her legs apart as Jack climbed on top of her and he put his hard length inside of her. They made love and just as she was about to scream out his name he kissed her and he swallowed her scream. They pulled apart so they could catch their breath.

"I love you Jack."

"I love you to Sam but we better get some sleep because you know that the kids will be in here early in the morning."

"I know."

Jack rolled on to his back and Sam pulled the covers up and over them before snuggling into Jack's side and they fell asleep.

The next day Jack and Sam did keep there promise to the kids. After breakfast Janet, Daniel and Teal'c arrived at the house since it was Saturday.

They all walked to the park so that the kids could have fun playing on the playground equipment. Everyone else sat down and watched them have fun. The kids dragged Cassie into their little games and they played for an hour before they all headed back to the house for some cold drinks.

After they finished their drinks and been to the bathroom, they got into the van. Jack drove them to see the new house. He had given the owners a call to see if it was ok to stop by. It was fine with them, since they were moving out.

When they arrived there were two moving vans outside, packing everything up. Jack spoke to the people while Sam showed everyone the out side of the house as well as telling them their plans of adding a second story onto the house.

They walked around to the backyard and Sam told them where the boundary line was, defined by the brown wooden fence at the back. They couldn't believe how big the place is.

She showed them where she and Jack would like the wedding to take place. Jack and she had told Cassie and the kids about the engagement and they were all were thrilled. When she finished describing to them what they had in mind, they were all for it.

By the time she finished telling them; Jack had joined them and said for them to follow him into the house. When they walked inside they were surprised when they saw the size of the place. Jack and Sam showed them all of the rooms in the house. They were amazed.

After about a half an hour they left to go downtown for some ice cream, which they had promised the kids. After they had their ice cream they went for a walk and did some shopping. They decided to go to the mall to do some more shopping before sitting down in the mall's Food Court for lunch.

Jack and Sam had bought the kids some Walt Disney animation DVD's and story books, as well as colouring books and crayons for when they were on. After lunch they headed back to Jack's house.

Janet and the kids went to have a nap for a couple of hours and Cassie and Sam went into the living room to look over the bridal magazines that Sam had bought. Jack and Daniel went into Jack's office/study to talk, since Daniel wanted to talk to Jack in private.

"Jack, where did you get Sam's engagement ring?"

"From a site on the internet. Why, are you thinking about getting married again?"

"Yes."

"Do you know what sort of ring she would like?"

"No; can I use your computer to check out the different rings?"

"Sure, I'll show you the site where I got Sam's ring from."

"Thanks."

Jack booted up his laptop and signed in. Once on the net, he went to the Blue Nile site. He showed Daniel how to navigate the site for the engagement rings. Jack left Daniel to check out the different rings that where offered.

He checked on the kids who were still asleep and then he went to see what Sam and Cassie were up to. He could hear them talking about the different dresses in the magazines. He heard them talking about what style they liked and which ones they thought were horrible.

Sam looked up and saw him standing there and she smiled the smile that he loved. Then Cassie turned the page, which caused her to look at the picture. They both giggled at some of the men's suits.

"Hey, what did I say about no giggling in the house?"

They looked at him and stuck their tongues out and that caused them to giggle even more. He just shook his head at them before going into the kitchen to get himself a cup of coffee. He then went outside with the cordless phone to make some phone calls.

Ten minutes later Daniel came into the kitchen and got himself a cup of coffee before going to see what Sam and Cassie were up to.

"Hey, what are you giggling about?" Cassie showed him a picture of a man wearing a bright yellow tuxedo jacket.

"What the… is that the latest fashion?"

"Yeah, it is"

"Wear that off world and the Jaffa will spot you a mile away" and they laughed.

"We know Daniel" Cassie said.

Daniel picked up one of the magazines and looked through it while Sam and Cassie were doing the same. They were browsing through the magazines about 10 minutes when Jack came in and sat next to Sam, putting his arm around her shoulder and she was leaned against him.

They talked for a while until the kids started joining them, one by one. An hour later Janet came in from her nap and they talked about the wedding. Jack decided to order pizza for dinner since no one felt like cooking. After dinner Sam went to give the kids a bath before bed and Jack and Daniel went into the kitchen to talk while making drinks for everyone.

"Daniel, did you find what you were looking for?"

"Yep, thanks for letting me use your computer Jack."

"No problem; what did you choose for her?"

"I ordered her a set like you got Sam but I got the princess cut diamond ring with the five diamond eternity ring set and the wedding ring to go with it."

"What about you? Did you order a ring for yourself?"

"Yep."

"Good for you."

Once the drinks were ready they went to join the others. They sat around, talking for another hour before the others left for home.

Over the next few days, while they were still off, they started getting everything straightened out with the lawyers and the architect, as well as with the building contractors. Sam and Janet went shopping a couple of times for a wedding dress, bride's maid dresses and flower girl dresses.

On Monday morning, when they returned to work, the airman that was on duty passed a message to them to report to the briefing room. After the kids were settled in and they were changed, they headed there.

When they arrived in the briefing room Sam was shocked to find her brother Mark and his wife Michele there and she noticed that the blast doors were down. They walked into the room and Mark stood up and gave Sam a hug.

"Sam, this is a surprise; do you know what this is about?"

They pulled back so they could look at each other. She glanced at Hammond and he gave a nod to let her know that she could tell them about the Stargate.

"Sir, have they signed the papers?"

"Not yet."

"Ok, Mark, Michele, would you sit down please?"

They sat down and Hammond passed two folders, with pens on top, to them.

"What going on Sam?"

"If you want to know what's going on, you will have to sign these first and then I'll tell you everything. Just remember that what I'm going to tell you is classified under the 11B9 National Security act."

"That big?"

"Yes, it is."

"Ok."

Mark and Michele signed the confidentiality forms. Once this was done, Sam told them everything about the Stargate program; about the Goa'uld, the Tok'ra, everything including about Dad and Selmac. They were in a state of shock at the information. They asked Sam lots of questions, which she answered. After two hours,

"Sam, this has got to be a joke."

"It's not a joke. Think about it; how did Dad heal so quickly when he should have been dead. What about my hair? You only saw me last mouth, do you think that hair grows this quickly in that time and also, my appearing so much younger."

Sam's hair had grown down to her waist but it was braided in a single braid to keep it in place.

"You're right but how?"
