"So Teal'c what do you know about acrobatics?" Jack asked.
"I do not know of what you speak O'Neill."
"You know cartwheels, tumbling that sort of thing."
"I still am unclear O'Neill."
"Look I'll show you. Take these." He handed Teal'c his gun and vest. "I used to be able to do this and recite a Shakespeare sonnet." He took a breath and went into a hand stand.

"What are you watching Lieutenant?" Sam asked noticing one of scientists had stopped working.
"Sorry ma'am."
"Lieutenant?" Sam prompted.
"I was just wondering how long Colonel O'Neill was going to stand on his hands ma'am." Sam glanced over to where her husband was now attempting to walk across the uneven surface of the planet.
"He never grows up." Sam said with a chuckle.
"Ma'am?" the Lieutenant questioned.
"It's one of his coping mechanisms for stress and boredom. Just leave him to it and don't tell anyone."
"Ma'am are you sure we can't get this on camera for the album?"
"Just one picture Lieutenant." Sam gave in. "And if Teal'c tries, get a whole reel." She winked at him.
"Yes ma'am."

"Everything okay Sam?" Daniel asked as he joined her. She was sat eating the end of the Jell-O.
"Yeah it's fine."
"Sam I know you better than that. What's bothering you?"
"Next week." She said after a pause.
"The wedding?" She nodded. "Why?"
"I honestly don't know. I've been married for months I'm not sure why it's bothering me."
"When I got married Sha're was just sent to my tent. It was a little confusing."
"Sounds even easier than running away to Vegas."
"Hey at least it's not one of those Shavadi six day weddings." He nudged her. "Sam I've seen what Jacob's planned it's going to be beautiful and perfect. And I think you're stuck with Jack whether you go through it or not. I don't think divorce is a word in his vocabulary anymore. You're stuck with that whole until death do you part which he isn't planning on for at least forty fifty years."
"You make a great little brother Daniel and an even better friend." She pulled him into a hug.
"Hey what's going on here?" Jack asked.
"I've decided to dump you and elope with Daniel." Sam said straight faced.
"Okay. Daniel, just remember you have to make sure she eats, make sure she sleeps and occasionally take her out so she can get some fresh air."
"I'll take that into consideration. I'm going to talk to Teal'c I'll see you both later." He got up.
"So what was all that about?" Jack asked as sat down next to her.
"Getting cold feet." She said.
"You don't want to marry me?" He questioned.
"Jack I already married you. It's the whole wedding thing that got me nervous."
"I would say we could call it off but your brother and his family are getting in this weekend and my Mom is coming on Friday. The Air Force Academy chapel is nice and the President can't make it."
"Dad invited the President?" Sam questioned.
"Of course. Can't leave out the leader of the Free World, but he's got commitments that day. However Bray'tac and Rya'c can come."
"That's good. It's just nerves, I'll be fine."
"Good, do you want to go for a walk?"
"Going to do more handstands?" Sam asked.
"You saw that?" He questioned.
"Lieutenant Bead wondered if you were sane. I just told him it was part of your charm. Let's walk."
