"Major, welcome back." Hammond said when he walked into the infirmary a few hours later.
"Thank you sir, but until a few hours ago I was aware I'd been anywhere." When Sam realise how that sound she asked. "How was Washington sir?"
"Kinsey is taken care of and the President sends his regards."
"Yes sir."
"Have Doctor Fraiser completed her tests?" He inquired.
"I've just go the results sir." Janet said walking with Jack at her heel.
"What's the verdict doc?" Jack asked.
"You appear to be in perfect health again." Janet said reading the chart.
"So I can get out of here?" Sam asked.
"No, I'd like to keep you in over night just to be certain."
"Okay." Sam agreed.
"Doctor Fraiser can you assure me she is of sound mind and judgement?" Hammond asked.
"Yes sir, as far as I can tell with out having Dr Mackenzie carry out a full psychological profile." Janet replied.
"Good." Hammond opened a file in front of her. "Major sign here." Hammond instructed.
"What is it sir?" Sam asked.
"Just sign Major." Sam scrawled her signature where Hammond indicated. "And sign here too." He said flipping the page. "Colonel you also need to sign this as well."
Jack signed his name, then Hammond took the pen and added his signature with a flourish.
"What exactly was that General?" Jack asked.
"I'll explain soon Colonel, but first there is some more paperwork that requires your signature. Captain." He prompted to the man who was hovering in the doorway to enter.
"Major do you have an alternative signature under your married name?" He asked.
"Yes." Sam replied slightly confused as to what was going on.
"Use that signature to sign these. Sign here, here, here, initial here, then sign this here too ma'am." He paused while Sam signed. "Colonel you'll need to do the same." He instructed.
"What are you some kind of lawyer?" Jack asked when he handed over the papers.
"Yes sir, for the office of the Secretary of the Air Force, although this isn't exactly the type of case I'm used to. General, I'll have these before the judge first thing in the morning, it's should be official by 0900 Monday morning." The Captain informed Hammond.
"Thank you Captain, carry on."
"Yes sir. Sir, ma'am, Doctor." He saluted before leaving.
"Judge?" Jack questioned. "What did you do sir get us divorced?"
"You'll have to find your own lawyers if you want a divorce Jack. Major perhaps I should explain since this effects you most."
"That would be helpful sir." Sam agreed.
"As of this moment your request for a transfer to the labs away from SG-1 has been granted, on the conditions that you hold two lectures at the Air Force Academy a month and go on field mission as required totalling no more than four a month."
"Er... thank you sir." Sam said looking at Jack who shrugged.
"Have you been talking to Daniel sir?" Jack asked.
"Dr Jackson, Teal'c and several of the other members of the base about what has been occurring since I have been away.
"What was the rest of the paperwork?" Jack asked.
"Adoption papers. I'm happy to announce that you are the proud parents of a four month old boy by the name of Jacob Patrick Dylan O'Neill. You can take your son home with you when you leave tomorrow and both have the rest of the week to get acclimatised. Jacob is getting to know his namesake under the watchful eye of his uncle Teal'c."
"I don't know what to say sir. Thank you." Sam managed a little shocked."Don't thank me, Doctor Jackson is the one who made your case to both the President and myself. Now I have a team returning in half an hour. I should get back."
"Thank you General." Jack said.
"Congratulations." Janet smiled when Hammond was gone."Did you know about this?" Sam asked.
"I had to write a letter of commendation." Janet replied. "You were going to ask him anyway, Daniel just took care of it in your absence. Just between you and me I think he likes the idea of being an uncle."
"Space Monkey." Jack muttered shaking his head.
"You'll need to go shopping." Janet handed him a list. "These are the basics and a word of warning, he doesn't like banana, if you don't believe ask Teal'c who Jake threw up all over after he fed him."
"This is all happening so fast." Sam commented.
"Welcome to an adventure that makes everything through the gate look like a piece of cake." Janet grinned. "I'll leave you to talk about this."
