Chapter 3: What Happened?
Jack's POV
~ One Hour Later ~
Silently muttering a prayer for my protection I rapped on George's door. "Enter!" was his sharp reply. Slowly I entered his office, where George sat behind his desk waiting for me.
"Take a seat, Jack," he ordered. Quickly I did as he said. After a few moments of awkward silence he spoke. "Jack, what the hell is going on?!"
"Well, sir," I started, "before I tell you that, I'd like to respectfully ask you to listen to everything I have to say without interrupting. I'll be happy to answer your questions when I'm done." Silently I waited for some form of acknowledgment from George. Finally he looked up and nodded for me to continue.
With a deep breath I started. "Well sir, when we arrived on P3X 862 we were greeted by a crowd of locals. Daniel, of course, jumped right in and said hi, introduced us, and gave the usual speech about us being explorers from Earth. As soon as he mentioned Earth a group of about six Aragoian warriors stepped forward, and welcomed us to the planet, then invited us to come to their village. Danny-boy wanted to go so he could study their culture and Carter wanted to ask some questions so we went with them."
"Then, sir, as you know from my report, we spent the next four days getting to know the people and what we could about their culture. They weren't all that advanced. Most of their weapons were like the sword Shani was wearing." My voice trailed off as I noticed the General's get-to-the-point look.
"Anyway, sir, the morning after we got to the planet Daniel and Carter went off to talk to some of the locals, and I sent Teal'c along just incase. Since I was on my own I decided to have a look around and get to know my surroundings. Around noon I ran into a small group of women and children down by the river washing clothes. I noticed a woman who seemed to be separated from the rest of the group." For a minute I paused, remembering that moment. She was a beautiful woman, with long blond hair that fell in waves down her back. She had blue eyes with a mole on her cheekbone under her right eye. With a slight smile I remembered how I had thought that except for the mole, she looked a lot like Carter.
"Anyway, I went over and introduced myself and she told me her name was Della. Actually, General, I'm pretty sure that Della is Shani's mother. You see I got to be friend's with her and then the night before we left there was a party in SG1's honor. I.uh. I guess I had something to drink and Carter thinks it was drugged. Anyway, sir, to make a long story a little shorter, the next morning I woke up in Della's tent and she was saying that we'd gotten married. Teal'c says that it's true, since he didn't drink and can remember it. Umm.well.then we came back." I held my breath waiting for George to say something.

Hammond's POV
The whole time that Jack had been talking I had listened quietly. But the second he said that he had been married I had wanted to speak up. I didn't though. I had waited patiently while he got out his last two sentences. Now, however, I'm not sure what to say first.
"Jack," I paused for a moment. "What the hell were you thinking? You got married! I'm not sure where to start with this one. And why didn't you feel it was necessary to tell me this before?"
"General, I realize this is a huge shock. And I apologize for not saying something right away. But it was just too embarrassing. Who gets married by accident while they're drunk? Unless you're in Vegas, I mean," Jack attempted to joke.
"Colonel, I don't find this situation at all humorous. Of all the stupid things that you've ever done, I believe this one tops the list!" I hollered. And I plan to continue hollering until I've said everything that's on my mind. Jack is in for a long morning.
