"All preliminary tests are good sir." Sam said as she and Jack stood in
front of Hammond. She had her hands behind her back. "With the Colonel's
permission I arranged for the X-301 Intercept to be shipped out to Peterson
to await more extensive testing and for copies of Major Gundell's report to
be forwarded to you, Major Davis and Lieutenant General Vidrine. It should
arrive in three days time."
"Colonel, I presume you have no problems with the X-301?" Hammond said.
"No sir, the X-301 seems to fall with in acceptable limits. If it works out it could be a useful defensive weapon in protecting Earth."
"I'll contact the General and arrange for him to come out for the testing."
"Yes sir." Sam replied. They both still stood there.
"Is there something else you wish to tell me?" Hammond asked. Sam glanced at Jack.
"Yes sir. You see when we were in Nevada we kind of. kind of got married sir."
"I see." Hammond said. He paused for a minute. "Major."
"Yes sir?" Sam said.
"Remind me next time your dad is in town that he owes me two hundred bucks. Congratulations."
"Yes sir. Thank you." Sam smiled.
"But there are some ground rules."
"Obviously sir." Jack said.
"The same rules apply about behaviour on the base and off world still apply. Your wedding bands can be worn on base but not off world, they'll catch the light and give your position away. Any domestic problems you have I don't want to know about. And I want an invitation when you set a date for a proper wedding."
"How did you know we were even considering that?" Jack asked.
"I've known Sam since she was three years old. I have a picture of her with a pillow case on her head because decided that she wanted to get married. Besides which Jacob would have a problem with his only daughter getting married without being able to give her away."
"We'll let you know sir." Jack said. "But I would like to see that picture."
"Good."
"Sir, can I make a request?" Sam asked.
"Of course Major." Hammond said.
"Please don't show him the pictures of me as a kid. I've managed to hide the rest so far."
"I'll take that under advisement. By the way what are we changing your name to on your personnel record?"
"Leave it as Carter sir. It'll get too confusing otherwise."
"Okay. Take the rest of the night off and I'll see you both in the morning. Dismissed"
"Yes sir." They both stood to attention before leaving.
"That went better than I expected." Jack said. "But I still want to see those photos."
"I don't think so. Okay stop there." She glanced at her watch. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
"You got married?" Janet said coming around the corner.
"That's just freaky." Jack said. "Yes, we got married."
"Congratulations." Janet hugged Sam.
"Sorry we didn't invite you it was an impulsive kind of thing. We're going to have a better wedding at some point when things settle down a bit." Sam said.
"Congratulations Jack." Janet gave him a quick hug.
"I'm still not sure how you knew she was coming around that corner."
"This is too good gossip for Daniel not to share and Janet's shoes have a distinctive click on the floor."
"It was actually Teal'c who told me. Daniel was hyperventilating slightly." Janet smiled. "You might want to call Cassie."
"We're headed home now so we'll call her." Jack said.
"Actually I have to run past my lab first." Sam countered.
"No you don't Hammond gave us the night off and we're leaving now it'll still be there in the morning."
"He's right go home." Janet said.
"Sounds like I'm out voted. I'll just go and change."
