As they sat waiting for their flight to be called Jack and Sam discussed
anything but work. They were discussing which characters of from the
Simpson's the people at the base reminded them of when Sam's pager beeped.
"They can't be serious we haven't even got on the plane yet." Jack said as she dug it out of her bag.
"Stay here I'll go and see what's going on." She kissed him on the check and walked over to the desk. "Excuse me."
"Can I help you ma'am?" The male airline staff member asked.
"I'm Major Samantha Carter; I'm with the US Air Force." She showed him her ID card.
"What can I do for you Major?" He asked.
"I've just been paged by my base and I was wondering if I could borrow your phone to call and check in."
"Of course, why don't you step into the office for privacy?" He suggested.
"Thank you." Once he left her alone she dialled the base. "It's Major Carter." She said into the phone.
"Oh Major, I'm glad I could finally get hold of you. It's Doctor Jameson, I was wondering if I could discuss with you a problem I'm having with an experiment."
"No." Sam replied. "I'm off duty."
"I understand that but I figured you'd be in later today but I wanted to get an early start on it."
"Doctor, is this an emergency?"
"No." He replied.
"Did General Hammond ask you to page me?"
"No." He replied again.
"Then I'd run when my husband gets back to the base if you value your life, because I'm on my honeymoon so with all due respect goodbye." She slammed the phone down. She let out a breath.
"Is everything okay Major?" The airline worker asked.
"Fine, thank you. When will the flight be boarding?" She asked.
"In about ten minutes."
"Thank you." She walked back over to Jack.
"Please tell me we don't have to go back to the base?"
"No. But I do have good news."
"What?" Jack asked.
"We'll be boarding about ten minutes."
"Finally." She sat back down next to him. "So who was it?"
"Some idiot, he didn't realise we were going on honeymoon. Relax."

"Hawaii." Sam said as the stepped into the warm sun.
"Three hours late. How can you they put you in a holding pattern over Hawaii for cryin' out loud, it's not like its O'Hara or JFK?"
"Jack." Sam stopped in front of him.
"Yes."
"We're in Hawaii, on our honeymoon. Lighten up." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. He dropped the bags and wrapped his arms around her waist. "That's better."
"So there was something about a hire car and a hotel?"
"As long as they didn't rent it out because we were late."
"I'm sure Danny would have taken care of that."
"Let's hope you're right."
