A/N: Again I am going to trample on the codes and ethics of the United States Army, so sorry.
"Code Red: Deep loyalty to the top dog. Such a waste." Janet spoke quietly while draping a cloth over Wallace's body. Quietly she left returning to the ceremony.
Silence surrounded the room everyone stood with bated breath this was it this was the moment it was official. Guards stood at attention, the president took a deep breath and everyone looked at him.
"It is with great honor and respect that I hereby reinstate all programs to their active state within the Stargate Program."
A deafening roar that was the cheering could be heard throughout the base all sense of protocol and reason gone with that one statement, even the guards who just seconds before stood at rigid attention now joined the celebration. The president raised a hand calling for order.
"It is with the help of one child-woman that this day is brought about," He held out his hand to Andy she took it and stepped forward "I present to you the newest member of the SGC, and the one who saved my life but moments ago, Andromeda Carter." Clapping, shouts of congratulations form those who knew her filled the room echoing and bouncing off the walls. General Hammond placed the equivalent of dog tags around her neck and pressed a pass that would allow her access into and out of the base into her hand.
"Congratulations." He whispered into her ear and stepped back allowing her new family to embrace her. She stood at the podium.
"Many things brought me here today, many things brought all of us here," she looked at Sam and Jack, Sam's new engagement ring now visible Jack had his arm around her their love clearly shown; Daniel looking at her like a proud father; Teal'c looking at a new warrior to train; Janet, Cassandra and Rya'c all looking with pride at their new friend. "But we must never forget the sacrifices that brought us here too. We must never forget my father, Wallace, or even Kinsey. They showed us our weaknesses. They exploited our anger and fear. Now we must stand strong against all enemies the ones out there," She gestured to the Stargate "and the ones here on Earth." She stepped back and the polite clapping died down. Hammond stepped forward.
"It is with great honor that I now announce a joyful event, one that I am overjoyed to be announcing to you today. Today I have the honor of announcing the engagement of Colonel Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill and Major Samantha Carter." A great cry of excitement came from the crowd. Everyone at the very least suspected the feelings the two had for each other and were happy that they finally stopped beating around the bush and admitted it to each other.
The President once again stepped forward to stand next to the General. "It is with great pleasure that I present this gift to the newly engaged couple. On the advice of General Hammond and others from the SGC I will allow and bent the rules, Major Carter you will be allowed to retain your position in SG-1, as will you Colonel O'Neill. After all," he said with a smug grin "Why break up a winning team?" Before the cheers could once again rise up he spoke once more. "Also I give them this he handed papers them. Jack and Sam looked down at them. Adoption papers, they were Andy's. "I hope that you'll forgive me for being so presumptuous but," He handed Teal'c and Daniel more papers "Here." They looked down at theirs.
"We're the godparents?" He asked breathlessly.
"Yes."
"Thank you." They all responded. A quiet harmony over took the room letting the new family have a moment of silence.
"Well now," General Hammond spoke up "I expect the best from my people and I give the best, let's get this celebration going! We have much to celebrate this night!" A great cheer that had never before been heard rose up. The crowd filed out leaving the new family alone together.
Ok This was just a short piece to tie up any loose ends I left. I hope that you enjoyed it. Here is a small summery of something I thought up the other day. Let me know what you think
