6 AM

The phone rang as Jack was debating whether he wanted to eat breakfast at home or maybe go to Daniel's and see what he was eating. Jack wasn't all that hungry anyways. He reached for the phone and turned it on as he went over to let Jaffer in.

"Hello?"

"Hi."

Jack smiled, pleased, when he heard Sam's voice on the other line.

"Hi, Sam. How are you?"

"I'm fine. A little nervous, but fine."

"Are you supposed to be talking to me?" Jack was glad to hear he wasn't the only one that was nervous.

"Nope."

"I'm glad you called."

"Oh?"

"I miss you."

"I was pretty lonely last night, myself," Sam admitted, and Jack could hear in her voice that he'd pleased her with his comment. Which was good, since he loved to make her happy. He smiled, and rubbed Jaffer's ears.

"Where's Janet?"

"She's taking a shower."

"I'm surprised she didn't take the phone cord with her."

Sam laughed.

"I just wanted to tell you I love you. I'd better go before she gets out."

"I love you, too."

"I'll see you at 11."

"I'll be there."

She hung up, and he looked at his watch. It was already 6.

'I'm going to be married in 5 hours," He told Jaffer. Who had time for breakfast? There were a million things he had to do.

Jaffer wagged his tail, but before Jack could say something else to the lab, the phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Jack, it's Daniel."

"Hey Daniel. What's up?"

"Have you had breakfast?"

"No. I just got up."

"Sally wants to make you breakfast. Want to come over?"

"To your place?"

"To hers."

Jack smiled, wondering if Daniel had just arrived at Sally's or if he'd been there all night. Of course, that wasn't any of his business, and he knew it, but it was fun to speculate.

"We don't really have a lot of time, Daniel..."

"Bring your uniform over here, Jack. My clothes are here, and we can get dressed and go to the church from here. Hammond is taking care of security, and Dotty and James are picking up the boys, Gina's mom is getting the girls, and Sam's with Janet and Cassie. Everything's running smooth. We have plenty of time." There was a pause. "Unless you're too nervous to eat?"

Jack scowled.

"I'm never too nervous to eat."

Daniel laughed.

"Come over, Jack. Don't forget the ring."

Jack looked down at Jaffer and shrugged.

"Fine. We'll be there in a bit."

He hung up.

"You can have breakfast while I shower, and then we'll go have seconds at Sally's, okay?"

Jaffer wagged his tail. That sounded like a plan to him!

Jack filled the lab's bowl with kibble, and then headed for the shower.

............

An hour later, they were pulling up in front of Sally's house. Jack parked the truck behind Daniel's car, and got out. He opened Jaffer's door so the black lab could jump down from the passenger's seat, then reached in and pulled out the plastic draped garment bag that held his dress uniform. He wasn't planning on putting it on until just before the wedding, since sure as shit the minute he did, he was going to spill something on it. He also double-checked his pocket to make sure the small box that held Sam's wedding ring was still there, and then he grabbed the shoebox that held his shiny shoes. He hated getting dressed up, but Sam was definitely worth it.

"Jack!"

The front door opened, and Sally was standing there, wearing slacks and a blouse. She wasn't going to be in the wedding party. Jack and Sam had both asked her to be, but Sally had taken the same stance Teal'c had; she wanted to be able to enjoy watching her friends get married, and that meant not doing anything important. She'd help out where she was needed, but she didn't want to have to do anything important.

Jaffer rushed up to Sally, his tail wagging and his eyes cheerful, and Sally gave him a good scratching as she waited for Jack to make his way up the sidewalk, carrying his uniform and his shoes.

"Morning, Sally." He gave her a slight smile, which broadened slightly when she stopped him so she could kiss his cheek.

"Good morning, Jack. How are you? Nervous?"

"What? Nervous? Me?" Jack shrugged, and looked over her shoulder to see if Daniel was around. When he didn't see him, he shrugged again. "Scared shitless."

Sally laughed, and took his uniform from him.

"I'll go hang this up for you. Daniel's in the kitchen."

"He's not cooking, is he?"

"Of course not." She told him, taking his shoebox. "He's feeding Binky."

Jaffer slipped past Jack and into the house, and Sally and Jack made a slightly more controlled entrance. "Go say hi, I'll be right there."

"Okay."

He closed the door behind him, and followed Jaffer, who was already headed for the kitchen.
