Chapter Twenty nine

Daniel sat down to a round of applause coming from the room.

"That was beautiful Daniel." Megan commented as he leaned in for a quick kiss before the next speaker.

General Hammond stood again and took his place behind the microphone.

"Now it is time to hear from the Best man who just happens to be the father of the bride. Jack O'Neill."

Jack quickly took the microphone from the General and took a deep breath before speaking.

"I think it is well known fact that I'm not particularly fond of public speaking but when it comes to my wonderful daughter, you cant shut me up as you are about to see. Megan came into my life not long ago and she turned my world upside down. I owe a hell of a lot to the woman who was married in front of you all today. She gave me a second chance at being a father, and bought into my life three little handfuls other wise know as grandsons.

She reunited me with my family with whom I had been sort of estranged. She opened my eyes to the chance of further happiness with some one that I have cared deeply for, for a very long time. And last but not least she makes my best friend smile like I have never seen him smile before." Jack paused for a moment as he looked over at Megan and gave her a sincere smile.

"Anyway enough gushing over Megan she will never let me live it down. So I suppose I better get on with my best man duties where I believe it is my turn to embarrass the groom. That I could do, blindfolded. Danny, Danny, Danny where shall I start. Let me see I could tell everyone how you got us thrown out of a local bar for passing out on the pool table after I might add only three drinks. You are definitely a cheap date, Danny boy. Let's see what else, ah yes the fact that you seem to have frequent flyer miles to the infirmary on base. Yes ladies and gentleman I have never known a man who can take only three steps on uneven ground before he falls and breaks a leg. There are quite a few other things I can tell everyone here but I am afraid that Teal'c has been teaching Daniel hand to hand combat since I retired and although I know I could still so kick his arse. I don't want to embarrass him in front of his new in-law's." Jack stated with a huge grin.

After a collective laugh from the crowd, Jack continued.

"I do want to add just one thing to my spiel. Daniel you have made my daughter happy, you have made her family complete. In turn I'm so happy for you for finding your soul mate. But just remember friend or no friend, you hurt my little girl …." He let it hang for a moment.

"And ill sick Teal'c on you."

Jack walked back to his seat and gave the bride and groom a hug before he sat down.

The rest of the speeches followed rather quickly, Teal'c and Jonas read out fake telegrams that Jack had written for them. Sam also got up and said a quick toast to the bridal couple.

As everyone was finished getting the glasses topped by the waiters, George took the microphone up again.

"Everyone please stand and raise your glasses to toast Health, Wealth and Happiness to Daniel and Megan. Here here." George stated followed by a round of glasses clinking.

"Now, I would like to invite Megan and Daniel to take there places on the dance floor for there bridal waltz. This is the time to remember, by Billy Joel." George said as he signalled for the lights to be turned off and the fairy lights that covered the ceiling to be turned on.

Daniel caught Megan's hand and led her to the dance floor as the lights went out.

The breath caught in the back of Megan's throat when she looked up and saw the fairly lights.

"Surprise, I wanted you to dance under the stars with me." Daniel whispered in her ear as the first bars of the music started.

Megan didn't say anything, she just looked into his eyes and smiled.

'We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
They're tearin' it down now, but it's just as well
I haven't shown you everything a man can do
So stay with me, baby
I've got plans for you

This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't, although we'll want to
This is the time,
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you

Did you know that before you came into my life
It was some kind of miracle that I survived
Some day we will both look back
And have to laugh
We lived through a lifetime
And the aftermath

This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't, although we want to
This is the time,
But time is gonna change
I know we've got to move somehow
But I don't want to lose you now

Sometimes it's so easy
To let a day slip on by
Without even seeing each other at all
But this is the time you'll turn back to and so will I
And those will be days you can never recall

And so we embrace again
Behind the dunes
This beach is so cold on winter afternoons
But holding you close is like holding the summer sun
I'm warm from the memory of days to come

This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't, although we'll want to
This is the time,
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you

Daniel grabbed Megan around the waist and dipped her as the song finished and kissed her passionately when she rose.

Everyone applauded the beautiful waltz that they had just watched.

"Now I would like to invite the bridal party and any one else that wishes to join the bridal couple on the dance floor for the next song."

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Jack tapped Daniel on the back just before the chorus started to trade dancing partners.

He turned to his daughter and asked "may I have the rest of this dance."

As he pulled her away from her husband depositing the hand of his beautiful fiancée in Daniels hand he whispered in her ear, "now if you spent as much time with your other father as you claim to have, you will know how to swing dance?" as he spun her out of his arms. He took the huge smile on her face as a yes and proceeded to wow the crowd with some rather good moves from both of them as the song continued.

Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait till the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And everytime I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

One more moondance with you in the moonlight
Can't I just have one more dance with you my love

As the song came to a close everyone stopped to applaud the terrific dancing of father and daughter.

"My knees aren't made for dancing any more." Jack said as he gave his daughter a hug.

"Maybe not but I'm not complaining, that was great dad. I didn't realise that you knew how to dance like that. My other father taught me when I was a teenager. That was so much fun. You have a break then treat Sam to the same." Megan stated as she took pity on her father and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Jack well done, didn't know you had it in you." Daniel stated as he walked over to them. "Now if you don't mind I will be stealing my wife back and dancing the night away." He finished by taking Megan's hand and leading her back on to the dance floor.

"Jack, that was fantastic. I never knew you could dance like that. I always knew you had the right moves but…….." Sam said as she took a hold of Jack's hand.

Jack pulled her into sideways hug and kissed her before she could finish the thought. Not realising that he had a set of very angry eyes boring a hole into his back at that same time.

Caroline sat at the table by herself, watching what was happening around her. Her husband Tom was up dancing with his mother and the boys were off chasing their cousins, much to her detriment. She had watched as everyone else had the little performance put on by Jack and Megan. She had also seen that all night that blonde bitch of Jack's had been hanging off of his arm. Sam. She didn't even like the name. Talk about boyish. Nobody called her Samantha, except Megan when she was teasing earlier today as they had been getting ready.

Caroline had guessed that Jack and the bitch had gotten engaged outside earlier. She had seen Megan at the window and wondered what she was smiling at. After Megan had turned away and walked into the other room, she had gone over to the window to look for herself. Caroline had seen Jack get down on one knee and hand over a ring box. She couldn't believe he was that stupid to marry another bimbo. Sarah had been bad enough.

"Caroline what are you looking at?" Katrina interrupted her thoughts.

"Nothing. Just watching the dancing." Caroline lied.

"Isn't it nice to see Jack so happy. After everything he has been through he really deserves some peace." Katrina stated knowing that it would piss Caroline off. She thoroughly enjoyed doing it, one of the many joys of her life as she often bragged to her other sister-in-laws.

When she received nothing but a scowl from Caroline, Katrina got up to go anywhere else.

"Honestly Caroline, I don't know why Tom puts up with you. Lusting after his brother like that. It is low, even for you." Katrina commented over her shoulder as she walked over to Lizzie to fill her in on what Caroline was up to.

"You might just want to keep an eye on her. We don't want her making a scene, at least while Megan and Daniel are still here. Do you think we should tell Jack?" Katrina asked Lizzie while they stood over near the bar.

"Tell him what, all she has done is stare at him all afternoon. I'm sure he has noticed, he isn't blind, but I think he is dutifully ignoring her. Anyway Sam has his attention at the moment." Lizzie pointed over to the darkened part of the reception hall behind the bridal table, where two lone figures were swaying to the music.

"I wish I had that type of romance in my live again." Katrina complained good naturedly.

"What are you to gabbing on about now?" Her husband said as he grabbed her around the waist and nuzzled her neck.

"Just commenting on how nice it is to see Jack so happy." Katrina commented.

"I think it is fantastic. And plus who is going to complain about the eye candy that he will be bringing to all the family events now." Mike said with a huge grin on his face ready to duck the coming blows from both the women.

"Smart arse. I don't know how I survived with all you idiots as brothers. No I think I should say that I don't know how I am not a lesbian because of seeing how stupid men are." Lizzie laughed at him as he grabbed her soft punch in his hand and dragged her into a sideway hug on one side with Katrina on the other.

"You both love me, I'm too adorable not to love. And you my dear are about to be swept off you feet by the love of your life to have a dance." He said as he turned to his wife.

Katrina looked all around her and innocently turned to her husband, "Now who would that be?"

Lizzie shook her head, as Mike dragged his wife out on to the dance floor. She kept an eye on Caroline from a distance just making sure that Jack wasn't disturbed tonight of all nights.

She was just thinking that the rest of the night was going to be interesting when Daniel appeared in front of her, dragging her to the dance floor, stating simply that it was her turn for a dance.

A/N Thank you all so much for commenting on my other chapters and I would again appreciate as much feed back as humanly possible from everyone who reads this.

The next chapter will be a few weeks away as I am going down to Brisbane to visit my family and be my sisters Matron of Honour when she walks down the Aisle on the 16th of April.

For those of you who don't know I have just recently moved to North Queensland, (Australia). SO I apologise for the delays in writing the new chapters. Any one that knows what it is like to move and start a new job knows what I mean.

Also I just want to let everyone know that the song used for the bridal waltz "This is the time to remember" by Billy Joel, was my wedding song boy I cant believe it was almost three years ago that I got married my self, how time flies. The second song, Moondance, the Michael Buble version is just a favourite of mine.
