'Thank God that's over' CJ thought as he waited at the airport. He had just spent the last two hours stuck in a room full of wet behind the ears, wide-eyed cadets with some serious hero worship issues.

"CJ!" CJ heard his 17 year old nephew, Brock, shout right before he was plowed over.

"Brock, how's it goin' my man?" CJ pulled Brock into a headlock and started ruffling his hair.

"Life's life can't really complain."

"Good to hear. Now where's the rest of your bunch?" Just then two more bodies joined the two. Shifting his head around CJ saw that his 19 year old nephew, Jackson, and his 16 year old niece, Morgan, were the ones that had joined the pile.

"Alright you three let your uncle up." They all heard Janet order. Knowing better than to argue with their grandma the three complied.

"Thanks Janet." CJ got up and kissed her on the cheek. "Where're Cass and Dominic?"

"Getting the luggage." Turning to the kids, "In fact you three should go help." With guilty looks on their faces the three kids went to help their parents.

"So did you have a good trip?" CJ hooked arms with Janet as they followed the kids.

"It was great, but as much as I love visiting Cassie and her bunch there's nothing like being back home."

"Hey CJ." Cassie greeted when she spotted CJ.

"Hey Cass." CJ hugged Cassie and shook hands with Dominic. "Dominic."

"So I see you got stuck playing taxi driver this year." Dominic joked.

"Yup, but thankfully most of the family lives here in town or with in driving distance."

"That's true. So where's that lovely wife of yours?"

"Working—"

"What? You're telling me that they're making my sister work today of all days." Cassie jumped in.

"Only half a shift and I think she volunteered more than anything."

"Still…"

"So CJ what are your plans for the rest of the day?" Janet intervened in the conversation.

"Well after I drop you guys off I have to swing by the school grab Matt and Scott, then come back here and get Andrea and Xander. After that I have a couple hours to kill till I meet up with Shayla at two."

Once CJ had dropped the group off at Janet's house, he had just enough time to pick the boys up at school and get back to the airport to pick up Andrea and her fiancé Xander.


Finally two o'clock came around and CJ was able to literally drag his wife away from work. When he had arrived at the SGC and found Shayla still hard at work, CJ had walked into to the lab, slung her over his shoulder in a fire men's type carry, and walked back out of the lab again, shouting over his shoulder to the other medics and scientists not to work to hard.

"Put me down, damit." Shayla ordered. CJ was more than happy to comply once they reached the car. "What the hell was that all about?"

"Just making sure you got off work on time. I know how much like your parents you are when it comes to work." CJ gave Shayla a quick kiss and she playfully punched him in the chest. "Alright I'm sorry it's just that I want as much just us time today as possible because once this ceremony/celebration thingy starts there will be no just us time."

"Yeah about that would it be ok if we stopped by the cemetery before things really start to get hectic?"

"You read my mind."
