"You okay?" Jack asked as he came over to Sam who was looking at the buffet.

"I'm fine. Daniel will be here in an hour."

"Danny's coming to the wedding?" Jack questioned.

"Apparently the whole history department wants to meet him, so Greg asked me to call and invite him to the reception."

"The guy wants to meet Daniel at his wedding reception?"

"Struck me as weird too. I mean Daniel is very talented at what he does but having to meet him right now."

"Just forget about it for now and come and dance with me so I don't have to talk to people."

"I thought you would have learnt how to be diplomatic by now." Sam said as she went with him onto the dance floor.

"Carter, I manage to piss off more people than I make friends with. That's why I need you guys around to keep the peace."

"Well everyone I've talk to seems to have nice things to say about you. I don't think Sara's family dislike you as much as you seem to think." Sam said as they began to dance.

"Oh they do, they're just being polite."

"I really don't think so Jack."

"I do."

"Jack, seriously you're not the bad guy. If that doesn't work just remember I like you and that's all that counts."

"I was thinking that you should see Dr McKenzie about that. You may have lost a few brain cells."

"You big dope." Sam thumped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, I think I have a bruise there from you flinging yourself at me."

"Are you sure it's not from you accidentally bumping into my freshly painted wall?"

"I think you actually pushed me into it."

"You didn't seem to have a problem with it at the time." Sam said suggestively.

"I don't have a problem with it now." Jack whispered.

"Jack, you're not doing well at this discreet thing are you."

"Apparently not. Sara's happy for us. Danny, Doc and T-Murray know something has happened. General Hammond knows for certain because he asked me specifically."

"So basically the people who matter know anyway the people who don't we're hiding it from?"

"Yes."

"Just checking." She kissed him gently. "That takes care of that."

"I like the way you think Major."

"I thought you said I think too much." Sam teased.

"I think is one thought I'll allow."

"Yes sir."

"Can I cut in?" A familiar voice asked.

"Daniel." Sam smiled. "I don't mind; just don't stand on the Colonel's toes the way you stand on mine."

"Funny Carter." Jack said. "Leave the jokes to me."

"Yes sir." Sam said with a smile.

"I was summoned." Daniel asked.

"Yes there are some people who would like to meet you. Colonel why don't you go and speak to Great Uncle Horace while I take Daniel to meet his fan club."

"I thought we weren't going to inflate his ego with mention of a fan club." Jack scolded.

"And I told you it wasn't his ego we needed to worry about." Sam winked at him. "Daniel, I'll introduce you to everyone wants to meet the Colonel is going to make nice with his ex-relatives." Daniel looked at Jack then followed Sam.
