A/N: These next few chapter relate heavily to Tangent
"Stop there Mrs O'Neill." Jack said as Sam opened the front door. Sam turned to look at him questioningly. "Tradition is tradition." He scooped her up in his arms and carried her across the threshold.
"If I didn't know you better I say that you were a romantic." Sam gave him a kiss.
"That's not something to be spread around. It would ruin my reputation."
"Along with the fact that I have a tattoo." Sam said as he put her down.
"It's a very cute little tattoo."
"Umm. Well you, Janet, the guy who put it there and a couple infirmary nurses are the only ones who know I have it. My Dad doesn't know and he's never go to find out."
"And I just bet you have a way of making sure I stay quiet." He said.
"Well I can think of something."

"Sam." Ferretti said as he walked into her lab two days later. "I just heard. Congratulations."
"Thanks. Good mission?" She asked.
"Well no-one ended up dead or injured so I'd have to say yes."
"That's good. Was there something you needed?"
"I was wondering if you'd mind if we stole your husband tonight. He didn't get a bachelor party and that's a wrong that needs to be righted."
"You can't tonight. He has to fly second chair in the X-301 tomorrow in a test run. So getting drunk the night before probably isn't the best idea. But tomorrow night after he's done he's all yours."
"Great, I'll arrange it with the guys."
"Ferretti one thing." Sam said.
"What's that?"
"If he does get so drunk he can't stand up, put him in a cab for god sake's because he'll start thinking it's invincible again and try and drive home."
"We'll take Teal'c with us. So he'll be fine."
"Good and remember Daniel gets drunk on fumes."
"All duly noted."

"I take second chair for an air - to - air live fire test." Jack replied in answer to General Vidrine's question.
"Our SGC control room with act as mission control." Hammond supplied.
"Light that candle boys." General Vidrine instructed.
"Yes sir." The General started to walk back to the car.
"Colonel." Sam said.
"Yes?" He turned to look at her.
"Just remember it's a live fire test, not a time to show off. Take it easy, other tests will prove other things this is just about the live fire test. Fly safe." Jack knew that she was worried.
"In other words don't wreck your new toy plane. Got it. I'll see you when we get back Major." He winked at her and smiled reassuringly. "Let's go Teal'c."
"O'Neill does General Vidrine want to perform some kind of candle burning ritual?" Teal'c asked as they walked towards the plane.
"Yes, that's it exactly."

"What was that between Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter?" General Vidrine as he and General Hammond drove back to the SGC.
"Sir?" Hammond asked.
"Her advising him not show off and him winking at her amongst other things."
"Major Carter is Colonel O'Neill's wife, sir." Hammond supplied.
"How long have they been married?" He asked.
"Five days."
"Don't people have honeymoons anymore?"
"General, both the Colonel and Major understand what we do at the SGC is important. They'll take their honeymoon when we find time in the schedule."
"How does their relationship affect their team dynamic?"
"SG-1 is as strong as it's ever been. I have no worries."
"Good. How does the President feel about this?"
"He sent them a bottle of champagne."
