"Is there a problem Colonel, Dr Jackson?" General Hammond asked knowing
perfectly they had hangovers.
"No sir, we're fine sir." Jack said.
"No residual effects from the anoxia."
"Dr Fraiser tells me not sir."
"I see. Carry on Major." Hammond instructed.
"Yes sir." Sam replied. "When."

"Glad that's over." Jack said as they walked out of the briefing room.
"You want to get some coffee sir?" Sam asked.
"Sorry I can't. Don't work too hard." He winked at her. "Daniel with me." Jack beckoned.
"Where are we going?" Jack glanced over his shoulder to make sure Sam wasn't following them.
"What do you know about gem stones?"
"A bit why?"
"I promised Sam I'd buy her an engagement ring, she doesn't want a diamond and Hammond said I could take a couple hours off and you can come too."
"So we're going shopping?"
"We have to be back by 1530 at the latest."
"Let's go then."

"Can I help you sir?" A cheery sales clerk asked.
"Yes. I owe my wife an engagement ring." Jack replied.
"Is that because she misplaced her engagement ring?"
"No, we only got married a couple of weeks ago, but it was kind of spur of the moment. We were only engaged three hours." Jack explained.
"I see. Did you want the traditional diamond?"
"No. She doesn't want a diamond. Daniel, what do you think a sapphire maybe?"
"I think she'd like that."
"There's a starting point what metal is her wedding band made of?" She asked.
"Gold. That colour." He held out his hand with his wedding band on.
"So we're talking a sapphire with a gold band. Just give me a minute and I'll being a selection for you to view."

"So do you think she'll like it?" Jack asked as they drove back to the base.
"She's your wife Jack."
"You're not filling me with confidence here Daniel."
"Jack, she'll love it for a great many reasons which include the fact that it is a beautiful ring, it matches her eyes, it catches the light like the gate and most importantly she'll love it because you picked it out."
"Thanks Daniel, I needed to hear that."
"Good, because I need to get back to work."

"Colonel, Major Carter is looking for you." The Sgt at the sign in desk informed him.
"Did she say what she needed?" Jack asked.
"No sir, only that she was looking for you and asked if you'd signed out."
"I see thank you Sgt."
"See she misses you already." Daniel joked as they entered the elevator.
"Daniel, you know I'd kill you if I didn't like you so much."
"Jack, you say the nicest things."
