Jack, Teal'c Sam, and Daniel had talked about almost everything, but the main part of the conversation had been mostly about Daniel and Sam, and what they were planning to do in the future with their relationship.
"Jack we don't know. We do know that we are going to be looking for a bigger place to live at least, cause both my apartment and Sam's house are too small for all of our things combined, so we have to go house hunting."
"We both make more then enough to get a very nicely built house, with a big back yard, and maybe a pool and a barbeque pit or something," Sam cut in. She could see the house in her minds eye and smiled.
"Besides we both want kids, and having a bigger place will help out nicely. I think a pool would be a great idea. I don't know about the barbeque pit though. Who needs to barbeque?" Daniel said, knowing full well he would get a reaction out of Jack.
"Hay now, don't do anything too hasty like forget about the barbeque pit or grill, I mean how you going to cook?"
Sam and Daniel looked at each other. "There is take out, fast food, delivery, those reheatable meals you can get. Who needs to cook?" Sam said, waiting for the Colonel's reaction.
"As I said, what about when you have a get together or something, how you going to feed all those people?" Jack asked, getting more and more flustered.
It was Daniel's turn to say something. "We can have it catered or do pot luck day or something. I mean why do we want something big and bulky taking up yard space?" Sam nodded in agreement.
Jack was getting upset now. No barbeque at his friends house! Bad day, very bad day indeed. Teal'c, on the other hand, just sat there with his arms crossed over his chest and a silly grin on his face. He knew that Sam and Daniel were playing with Jack. It was very amusing to watch.
"Anyway, we still have to look for a place first so we will see what comes up, you never know, " Sam said, smiling the whole time.
"So, what do you kids think you will do for a honey moon? Go off world?" Jack asked, sipping his beer.
"I doubt it, I mean we would still have to be armed and conduct ourselves in a military fashion, so it really wouldn't be enjoyable or anything. So that would be a no. we will probably go someplace warm and tropical, where you can see the bottom of the ocean from the beach."
"And when it rains it clears up after a few minutes and it looks like it never rained at all," Sam added. She and Daniel had talked about it briefly after they got the wedding ring. It would defiantly be someplace tropical, she had no doubt about that. The warm rays hitting her skin, the sound of the ocean crashing against the surf, those tropical drinks with the little umbrellas in them were all important, but the most important thing was Daniel would be there with her.. That by itself would make up for anything that could wrong.
Daniel briefly looked at his watch and noticed the time, it was just past 9 and they hadn't realized it.
"Wow, would you look at the time, its gotten late." He said looking at Sam who looked at her watch as well. "Oh my, we should get going."
"What already? You just got here." Jack said getting up.
"Really Sir we need to get going, it is a long drive home and I'm beat. I want nothing more than to curl into bed with Daniel and think warm happy thoughts."
Jack visibly shuddered at the thought of what she would consider warm and happy and didn't like the images he was getting.
"Bad thoughts Carter, really bad thoughts!" Jack and Teal'c escorted them out to there car where they stopped for a moment.
"What do you two have planned for the rest of your days off?" Jack asked looking at both Sam or Daniel.
"Not really sure, I mean we could go to Vegas and get married right then and there. I don't really care all that much just as long as we get married." Sam said leaning on the hood.
"You know I think we will go to Vegas tomorrow and get married in a alien chapel or something." Daniel added.
Jack held up his hands in protest. "Now just one damn minute here, don't go doing anything rash and jump right into things. What about your family, your friends? what about the cake for god's sake? I mean come on now, you're not ever registered or anything." Jack was trying his best to think of ways to stall them from getting married too quickly. He was happy for his team mates but there needed to be a party of some sort.
Daniel just shook his head with a grin on his face. "Jack would you calm down. We are joking. I mean, come on, how could I get married without my best man and fellow groomsman at my side?"
Jack stood there with his mouth open in shock at being asked to be best man. "Daniel I don't know what to say, I'm honored you would consider me for that."
"Jack you're one of my closest friends, of course you would be my best man. Teal'c is another one of my closest friends and I would be honored to have him as a groomsman, too."
Teal'c stood up a little straighter then normal bustling with pride. "Daniel Jackson all though I do not know what a groomsman is, I am honored you consider me one of your closest friends and have invited me into this most sacred event."
Daniel smiled. "Teal'c I wouldn't have it any other way, besides Jack can fill you in on what to do. It is very simple, really."
Teal'c bowed. "I am honored Daniel Jackson, I will attempt to fulfill my duties to the best of my abilities."
"That's all that I ask just be there for me." Sam let out small yawn as Daniel was talking.
"Well I think that was my cue to shut up and get in the car." Daniel said smiling.
"You bet your ass it was Dr. Jackson." Sam grinned as she waved bye to Teal'c and Jack as she got her self settled into the car.
"Jack, Teal'c, I will talk to you later. Actually we will see you after leave is over with. See you guys later."
With that Daniel got into the car and pulled out of the driveway watching Jack and Teal'c head back inside.
"Are you ok to drive home?" Sam asked before she settled back into the seat.
"I'm fine, actually that little nap I took helped out a lot. Why don't you lean back and rest, we will be home in about 2 hours or so since there won't be any traffic.
For Daniel the drive home was relatively silent. Sam was peacefully sleeping in the passenger seat with the seat reclined back, breathing softly. Not much occupied his mind during the drive, except really paying attention, but his thoughts did drift to Sam and their new life together and he was happy. For the first time since he came back he was actually happy. He wished Sam and his parents could have met. They would have gotten along so well together. It's was a shame that his parents could not see him today. They would have been so proud of him about what he has learned, and had discovered.
Daniel thought with everything that he had learned in his time with the Stargate program he could rewrite the history books, hell Sam could rewrite almost ever single science book out there with everything they had learned.
Jack could rewrite all the military books on tactics or maybe write some new ones.. Teal'c, well since he never really went to a school here on Earth he could write a book on his culture or something that would be interesting. Welcome to Jaffa 101, if you fail you will be disemboweled. Daniel had to chuckle at that one.
When he reflected back he didn't think he could see himself doing anything but what he was doing. He loved his job, and he loved what had come because of it - his friendship with Jack and Teal'c, his newfound assurance, his home in the SGC community, and most of all his relationship with Sam.
Daniel was so lost in though he nearly missed the driveway to his apartment complex. It was after 11 when he pulled into a vacant spot, turned off the engine and turned to Sam.
"Sam, it is time to wake up, we are here." He gently shook her on the shoulder. He saw her eyes open, she got her bearings and sat up.
"Home already?" She asked looking around thinking it was a dream.
"Yup, some on, lets go and get some sleep." Daniel got out of the car came around and helped Sam out and they led each other into his apartment to sleep or possibly not.
