Hey guys. I'm actually writing this whole thing over the span of about 5 days. I hate it when people start fics and never finish them so I don't post unless I either know what I'm going to write or I've already written the whole thing. I post chapter by chapter cuz its fun to make people wait hehe. I was in Canada when I wrote this chapter, swimming is fun.

This was going to be two different chapters; Jacob's visit and the BBQ but the visit chapter was just too short so yay! One longer chapter!

The sudden sound of the klaxon alarm broke the silence in Sam's office while she worked and she heard 'Off-World activation.'

She headed down to the control room and got there just in time to see her dad come through the gate. She smiled at Jack from across the room and went to the gate room to greet her dad; Jack shortly followed.

"Sam," said Jacob, hugging his daughter "How are you?"

"I'm fine," she replied with a big smile. Jacob looked behind her to see Jack smiling as well.

"There's something going on here…" noted the older man

Jack moved up to stand next to Sam. She took his hand and told him "Dad, we're engaged."

"Now's the part where he kills me," Jack said, scared. Without letting go of Sam's hand, he moved behind her. Surely he wouldn't be killed if Sam was in front of him.

"Are you happy, sweetie?" Sam's father asked, not as mad as Jack thought he would be

"Yes. I'm very happy. We are very happy," She told her dad, leaning back into Jack

"Then I'm happy for you. Congratulations," Jacob then hugged Sam and Jack, much to Jack's surprise. Then Selmac took control and told them "I am, too, very happy for the two of you. Congratulations Samantha, Jack."

"Thank you Selmac," The two replied at the same time.

Sam, Cassie and Megan were in the kitchen gathering up the food to take outside. Hammond was already working on the burgers and hot dogs on the grill and Jack was talking to Sara and Dave. The three picked up the plates of condiments, fruit, and various chips, pretzels, veggie tray and drinks. Jack, Mark, Sara, Dave, Jacob and Teal'c…er… Murray sat at the deck table munching on the various chips, pretzels, veggies and drinks while Sam and Cassie took the other things over to the picnic table on the lawn. Daniel was being tackled by Hammond's granddaughters and Mark's kids.

Sam stood next to Jack and was soon sitting on his lap as he pulled her down. Cassie and Megan ran up with the camera saying 'how cute!' and took a picture of them. The girls ran off again to take more pictures.

"So, Dave," Began Jack "tell us about your self."

"Well. I have two kids in college. Nicole is in premed and Ben is a sophomore with the popular major of undecided," Dave told the group.

Sam reached over grab some pretzels for Jack and a couple carrots for herself. "I majored in undecided my first year of college," Sam informed them "but I did that to get my general education credits done and over with. How did you and Sara meet?"

"I work at a book store his brother owns. He came in one day to see his brother and we met. He asked me to go to dinner with him and I did."

"That is very fortuitous," Teal'c replied.

Jacob turned to Dave "What do you do?"

"I am a high school English teacher," Dave told them.

Jack was about to say something when Hammond announced "The food is done." Everyone moved to the picnic table to eat and talk…more.

Once everyone was done eating, Jack, Sam, Mark, Daniel, Teal'c, and Dave started a game of touch (But really tackle) football. Jacob and Hammond were referees of sorts and Cassie and Megan sat with Sara to talk.

"How long have the two of you known Jack and Sam?" Sara asked

"Megan hasn't actually met them before but I've known them for about 7 years. I've just been telling Megan how annoying then can be," replied Cassie

"Not just how annoying," interjected Megan "How cute too."

Sara looked confused "What do you mean?"

"I know you're his ex-wife and all so do you want to hear the story of Sam and Jack?" Cassie asked the older woman after taking a drink of her pop

"I'm fine with it, we've both moved on and we both want the other to be happy," assured Sara

"Ok," Cassie leaned forward to tell the story of Sam and Jack "Sam has always been Jack's second in command so they weren't allowed to show they had feelings for one another but I knew they did. It's the way they look at each other ya know? And my mom was best friends with Sam so I heard about everything she was told."

"Your mom was best friends with Sam?" Sara asked for clarification.

"My mom died a few years ago," Cassie told her

"Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie."

"Thanks."

"Tell her about the time loop!" Megan urged

"Ok so Uncle Jack and Uncle T..erMurray were stuck in this time loop, right? And in one of the loops Uncle Jack kissed Sam in front of everyone because he wanted to and no one would remember it. I hated those regulations probably as much as Uncle Jack and Sam did and I wanted to write a strongly worded letter to the president but I thought it may be a bad idea," Continued Cassie

"And then Jack became the General!" Megan exclaimed

Cassie got a big smile "Yep, Uncle Jack talked to the president and told him how relationships didn't interfere with anything they were all doing and in fact it strengthened things. Uncle Jack has saved Sam's butt many, many times and Sam has saved Uncle Jack a lot. They love each other. After a while, the president changed the rules for where they work and they've been together for a little more than a year."

"Well that was…nice of him," Sara replied, not really sure what to say

Cassie took another drink of pop "Yeah. They would do anything for each other and they just deserve to be together."

"Tell her about the proposal!" Megan exclaimed "Oh, my gosh! It was so sweet! Jack wrote little notes with clues to who had the next note. Sam went all over the base and even had to call Cassie and me to get a clue. The clues led her home and there were rose pedals leading to the bedroom and Jack was there and he proposed!"

"That is so sweet," said Sara "I'm glad they're happy."

The three talked for a while longer while the others played football until it got dark. After dark, most of the people left. Sara told both Jack and Sam she was very happy for them and she was excited she was helping Sam plan the wedding. Megan and Cassie drove the hour back to college, Hammond and his girls went home, Jacob and Sam's brother's family went to his house and Daniel and Teal'c were left.

"So Cassie told me she told Sara 'the story of Sam and Jack'," Sam told the boys. They were all sitting in the living room

Jack looked intrigued "Did she?"

"Yeah. Apparently she thought we were 'cute' too."

Daniel piped up "Well you are…sometimes."

"Indeed," Teal'c replied.
