Previously on Stargate SG-1...

"Sari has volunteered to become a host"

Sam and Jack both stared angrily at Kayan who had accompanied Lena through

"She has volunteered her services. The Tok'ra think it best that she first consult with you first"

"And..."

"She wishes Colonel Carter and Teal'c to come and visit. And Jacob requests General O'Neill's presence"

Jack paled "Me?" he asked

"Indeed"

"For cryin' out loud" he muttered "Get geared up, we're off the see the Wizard!"

And now the continuation...

Jacob and Sari meet them near the Stargate and escorted them the rest of the way. Sari refused to look or talk to anyone while Jacob sent evil looking glances Jack's way. Teal'c however followed Jack around like a shadow, barely departing from his side for a moment until they reached the rings. Immediately the rings landed them in the Tok'ra tunnels, Jacob pulled Jack one way and Sari slipped off another way. Sam followed Sari.

"Selmac!" Jack protested as he was pulled into a small room.

Selmac took control "The host is preparing to give you a long lecture. I am attempting to calm him down"

"Go… Selmac"

"What do you want?" Sari asked without even looking behind her

"To talk to you!"

She spun around "About what?"

Sam shrugged "You, your decision to join the Tok'ra, oh I don't know" she said ending sarcastically

Sari sighed, "Sam, I appreciate everything you've done for me, but, I am old enough to make my own decisions"

"Do you know what happens when you become a host?" Carter demanded

Sari nodded slowly

"You feel the feelings of the symbiote. You have to share your body, you go where the Tok'ra send you. You could be tortured; it's not a 'thing' you do on a whim. This could last for two hundred years! Then you die!"

Sari looked unmoved "I'm told you were a host for the Tok'ra for a brief time"

"Unwillingly"

"Was it horrible?"

Sam looked undecided "I think it could have been better, at the time I thought it was the worst thing that had ever had happened to me"

Sari looked up "You had strong feelings for a Tok'ra here"

"Mostly from the imprint that Jolinar left me"

"Martouf. You killed him in order that the Tok'ra could fix their zay'tarc problems."

"Sari..."

"Sam, I want to do this. The Tok'ra save my life and then I coud see Kay..." she stopped and turned away, blushing.

Sam grinned "NOW I see..." she teased

Sari groaned

"JACK!"

Jack winced "Selmac, try harder!" he called

Jacob paced up and down the room "How dare you think about even marrying my daughter"

"Can't help it" Jack said "A beautiful, smart, rather funny, kind, caring, loving woman... who could resist that combo?"

Jacob looked a little mollified "Jack! That is my daughter"

"Yes Jacob, I know"

"Treat her right"

"I will"

Jacob produced a zat and shot him.

"Jacob!" Jack protested

"You hurt her and I'll do that twice"

"Thanks" Jack rasped trying to stand up but promptly falling back down. Jacob stepped over him and hurried out of the room.

"... you sure?"

"Yes Sam"

Sam hugged her then quickly stepped back "Sari, the Tok'ra fixed your gate. We could dial home and try to see your Mom before..."

"What about Ten'ak?" she asked

"He is dead" a voice said from the doorway

"Kayan?" both woman asked surprised

"He attacked me. I'm sorry Sari" he said turning to the girl. He knew that they had been close before the arrival of one Samantha Carter.

Sari rapidly blinked backed tears "I guess it's for the best" she whispered "So I can go home?" she asked

Kayan almost imperceptibly stiffened but nodded briefly

"I can see my mother?"

He nodded again

"Will you go with me Sam?" she asked turning to her "And you Kayan?"

"I doubt your mother would welcome the murderer of her son" he said gently

She pouted

"I will come" he said softly

Jacob poked his head back in "I forgot to ask, when's the wedding going to be?"

Jack groaned and sat up slowly "Two weeks" he gasped

"Mighty soon..." he commented

"We uhh.. started already"

He nodded "I figured you might have. How'd you get security clearance for Mark and his family?"

"Called in a few favors"

"Hmm..." and with that he was gone. As soon as Jacob was out of sight, Teal'c and Daniel walked in

"O'Neill, are you alright?"

"No T, I've been zatted"

Teal'c lifted him to his feet

"Jack, I wish I had brought my video camera"

"Daniel..." Jack began

"Fortunately my tape recorder was handy"

Jack listened in horror as the whole conversation was played over. He lunged at Daniel...

A day later...

Colonel Samantha Carter, Kayan and Sari exited the wormhole and headed for the village. Sari was reconcilled with both of her parents and the rest of the village. It was a bittersweet day for her and she wept bitterly when she had to leave.

"You can stay" Sam whispered. Kayan did his best to not show his emotion at the thought of her staying.

Sari sighed and looked over at her mother "No, I'm not needed her. My family will miss me, but I could come and visit sometimes...right?"

"Yeah" Sam said softly

"I'll return to the Tok'ra, if I'm allowed too" she said shyly turning to Kayan

"We will gladly accept you" he said sincerley

"Let's go home Sam"

Another week sped by quickly. Jack was dead set against Sari becoming a Tok'ra and insisted she stayed on base until she was 1000 sure about this. Mark and his family came up a week early and was staying in Daniel's apartment (who had moved in with Jack). Jacob arrived the same day as they did and they spent it bowling since there wasn't a zoo in Colorado Springs. Jack, Sam, Lynne and Teal'c all bowled a perfect 300. The day ended with pizza and games...
"One week... to the wedding... gee, I can't wait..."

"Jack, Stop. Now"

He paused "Why?"

"'Cause I asked you too"

He was quiet for a moment

"Row row row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream AND row..."

"Jack!"

He smiled unrepentetly

"NOT that song"

"Stargate... it's a great big world... with a great big woosh, we step inside to another world... we're talking Stargate... it's a crazy trip... you can go quite far and you don't need a car or even a ship..."

"JACK!"

"I want to"

Jack stared at her "Why?"

"I want to, you said you'd let me go if I was 1000 sure. I'm 1010 sure"

"WHY on Earth would you want to be a Tok'ra?"

"They don't live on Earth" she said

"I know that, but, Sari-"

"Jack, I'm sure"

He sighed "See you for the wedding?"

She nodded "Me AND my new Tok'ra"

He barely repressed a shudder "Can hardly wait" he said dryly

Sari rolled her eyes and slipped out of the room

He stared after her "Why the heck would anyone want to be a Tok'ra?" he muttered turning back to his files

One week to the wedding...
