A/N: I'm sure most of you thought I had forgotten this story. But I didn't and now it's finished!

Five minutes later Jack and Kyle were walking down the mountain to join Sam and Stella.

"Then there was this one time when she was about three years old. You should have heard her squeal!" Jack mentioned to Kyle who was laughing uncontrollably.

"What'd you do?"

Stella looked at her father and boyfriend confused, 'Are they laughing?'

"Well being as young as stubborn as an O'Neill, she decided that she didn't want to wear clothes anymore and so-"

"DAD!" she yelled out begging him to stop from embarrassing her.

Jack looked at his daughter as if he was shocked to see her there. He then turned to Kyle, "No it wasn't quite like that either…" He sent a silent nod to Kyle, "It was more like this!"

And at the same time both men withdrew their weapons and began to fire the small water pistols at Sam and Stella who, being caught completely off guard, squealed. Both women raised their hands to their faces to protect them as they charged towards their men to attempt to disarm them.

Both men ran out of ammunition just as their victims were able to wrestle the guns from their hands. With both hands free they wrapped their arms around their respective targets and held onto them for dear life.

"I love you Sam!" Jack whispered in her ear. "And you're right, he's not so bad after all!"

Sam who was about to yell at her husband had the biggest smile on her face as she turned to her husband and whispered back, "Thank you Jack!"

Stella whispered to Kyle, "I take it things went okay?"

He planted a quick kiss on her cheek, "Yeah!" He then leaned even closer and whispered into her ear, "I hope I didn't hurt you just now."

She shook her head.

"Good, because I'm told on good authority that if I do hurt you, there isn't a place in this galaxy where I can hide!"

Stella's eyes went wide as she raised her voice, "DAD!"

Jack spun around as he released his wife, he recognized that voice. It sounded exactly like Sam's when he was in trouble. "What?" he asked innocently.

"Dad, you threatened him!"

He raised his hands innocently.

"Jack," Sam drawled out as she glared at her husband.

"I didn't say anything new," he defended. He was feeling very uncomfortable under their stares. He looked at Kyle, "Sell out!"

"Jack, don't you dare and try to turn this on Kyle!" Sam warned him.

Jack sighed as he finally spoke, "I may have used your father's words."

Sam's head fell. "Stella… Please remind me to kill my father the next time we see him," she asked her daughter as she rubbed her forehead.

Jack stood up to defend Jacob, "What? Why? It's a good piece of advice! Father's of a Carter are very protective of their babies! I'm sure if Kyle and Stella were to have kids – and this under NO circumstances gives you permission to marry my daughter and get her pregnant!" he sternly warned, "Kyle would say the same thing to any potential suitor to his little girl."

"DAD!"

Kyle's face reddened.

"Jack," Sam finally looked up at her husband. "Shut up!"

"But-"

Sam raised her hand to his mouth. "You are digging yourself a very deep hole with your daughter! If you don't stop now when you're only ten steps behind, she WILL leave you behind. And in case you haven't noticed, she's younger than both of us and can out run us!"

Jack's mouth gaped as he tried to find any set of appropriate words.

Watching him drag his foot out of his mouth, Sam smiled at the man she so desperately loved and couldn't live without. She placed her hands on his cheeks as she pulled him closer, "What am I going to do with you?"

Jack sent her a suggestive smile and raised an eyebrow, "Well, you know you are a VIP!"

"Ah! I'm not hearing this!" Stella cried out as she brought her hands up to her ears and buried her face in Kyle's chest. Trying to protect her from the images she was forming, he protectively wrapped his arms around her.

Once everyone had calmed their wild imaginations down the four of them continued back down the mountain.

"So Cadet, what else did my husband tell you?"

"Well ma'am, I know that you and I will be having some nice memories between April and June."

"Whatever!" Jack flippantly stated.

Sam looked around her daughter at Kyle, "Excuse me."

"When the Red Wings make a race for the Cup!"

The End

The ending may seem a bit abrupt but this story was about Jack meeting Stella's man and giving him a chance! Hope you enjoyed it!
