A/N: I'd like to thank all of my reviews during this fic. It's been an interesting road, thank you for sticking with it. Don't forget to review this chapter if you want the epilogue! I got too tired of waiting for Hanukkah to come around...plus so many of you wouldn't be able to read it or review right away.

Tam looked at the clock, taking charge of the situation before it deteriorated, "Manny? Go get the candles out of the freezer and the matches by the stove. Sunset is in five minutes. Who wants to start the blessing?"

"Oh! I do, I do!" Timothy called. He jumped up and down with joy when he was told he could. "Yay!"

As everyone gathered around Jack's menorah, Tamar waited patiently for her son to say the first blessing before lighting the candles.

"Barukh Atta Adonay Eloheynu Melekh Ha-olam Asher Kiddeshanu Be-mitsvotav Ve-tsivanu Lehadlik Ner Shel khanuka," the young boy said.

"Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by His commandments, and has commanded us to kindle the lights of Hanukkah," Gabriel replied.

"Barukh Atta Adonay Eloheynu Melekh Ha-olam She-asa Nissim La-avoteynu Ba-yyamim Ha-hem Ba-zzman Ha-zze," Ziporah spoke the ancient words her ancestors had spoken for many hundreds of years.

"Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who wrought miracles for our fathers in days of old, at this season," Jack responded in English.

"Barukh Atta Adonay Eloheynu Melekh Ha-olam She-hekheyanu Ve-kiymanu Ve-higgi'anu La-zzman Ha-zze," Samuel gave the last blessing on the first night. Since he was a rabbi, it was his honor to say it every year on that first night.

"Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, and has preserved us, and enabled us to reach this time," Priscilla responded.

Tamar lit the Shamash then handed it to Lydia to light the first candle. When the Shamash was back in its place, the family smiled at one another before sitting back down in the living room.

"Who's hungry?" Tris asked expectantly.

"Me! Me! Me!" all the kids (including most of the grown men) shouted at the same time.

The women smiled at them, "Do you all want to open presents first or eat?" Lydia asked.

"Presents!" they cried simultaneously. Jack looked at Sam with a look in his eyes that clearly asked if he could open that taunting envelope yet.

Sam looked at Tamar, "What do you think? Should I put him out of his misery and let him open the envelope?"

"Nah, let him sweat a bit longer," Nathan said carelessly.

Jack glared at him, "In my mind I just jumped you and am tearing out your eyes."

Sam grinned at him, "Alright, Jack. You can open the envelope." The words had barely left her mouth before Jack was at his pile of presents and had the envelope in his hands, swiftly opening it.

He pulled out a short stack of papers and began reading the first one. Looking up at Sam, he met her eyes with open love and adoration. "When did this come through?"

"I got it three days ago, but it didn't take effect until sunset tonight," she said, smiling warmly at him.

"What is it?" Daniel asked excitedly. Jack mutely handed the papers to his friend, never taking his eyes off Sam. Daniel glanced at the first paper, then at the small handbook he also held. 'Air Force Regulations for the SGC' it said on the cover. There was a post-it sticking out on one particular page. He opened it and read what it said before turning back to the first paper (a letter from the President) and read aloud, "Regarding the fraternization regulations, all are still in place, but if the relationship is deemed not a risk in the field and the direct CO of both parties (you, Jack) deems them both able to stay professional at the work place (even on assignment), relationships will be allowed. You screw this up, Jack, and you know that ninety percent of your base will side with her. Don't mess this up. All my love, Henry."

Everyone looked from Sam to Jack, "Well?" Ziporah asked frustrated. "Are you gonna to kiss her or what?" Jack did not need to be asked twice.

Daniel sighed happily and turned to Teal'c, "You know? I wonder jus what Hanukkah will be like next year. If this is the Hanukkah miracle for this year, maybe next year there will be a little baby…who knows? Maybe two."

"Daniel, shut up!" Sam and Jack said in unison before going back to exploring each other's mouths. When the pair finally came up for air again, Jack looked at Sam with a twinkle in his eyes, "Want to get married?"

Sam grinned, "Yes, I do. But only to you! Don't go trying to pawn me off to someone like that one time during 3T9."

"I'd never!"

Daniel, who was still sorting through the papers, came across another one that made him grin, "Oh! Oh! Do you two want to get married right now?"

"What are you talking about Daniel? We don't have a license," Jack tried to explain to the over zealous archeologist.

"Yes we do!" Daniel said cheekily. He held it up and showed Jack, "It's even signed by President Hayes! All you two have to do is sign it right there and there and get three witnesses to sign it there!"

"Hey!" Samuel cried out happily, "I'm a rabbi!" as if he just figured that out.

"So? I'm a garbage man. What's your point?" Nathan asked, equally as excited as everyone else that Jack finally got the girl.

Samuel grinned at his brother, "I can perform the ceremony!"

While they were talking about all of that, Jack had retrieved the ring from his pocket, opening the small box up and sliding the ring onto Sam's smooth, white finger.

Before the group could go any further into the planning, the doorbell rang (A/N: I just love ringing the doorbell!). Teal'c got up to answer it and was very shocked (although he didn't show it) when he led in General Hammond.

Sam leaped into his arms, "Thank you, Uncle George," she whispered into his ear.

George smiled, hugging his goddaughter close. "You're welcome, Sammy. It was all actually Jake's idea. He threatened to cut ties if I didn't talk to the president about it. It's what he wanted."

Tears came to Sam's eyes, "Give me away?"

"Of course, sweetheart."

They parted and Sam looked down at the black dress she was wearing, "I don't think I want to get married in this. I'm going to change." Without another word to anyone, the women and children took off to their respective rooms to change into appropriate attire for a wedding.

Sam changed into the baby blue, '20's style dress she had purchased on her shopping adventure with Cilla and Tris. Fixing her makeup she looked at herself in the mirror. Something was missing.

"Here, put this on," George said as he entered the room, holding a necklace in his hands that he handed to her. Sam gasped as she put the chain around her neck. It was her mother's prized diamond necklace set in silver. The pendant was shaped like two joined hearts, with the diamond placed where the hearts molded into one.

"Thank you, George. But something's still not right."

Hammond smiled, "The girls went out to get flowers, Champaign and cameras. Teal'c and Jack went to the SGC to get as many people as possible within the next hour." He hugged the woman tightly, "In a short hour and a half you're going to be a married woman, Samantha Carter. Or should I start saying Mrs. O'Neill?"

Sam smiled, "It really is a Hanukkah miracle, isn't it?"

"That, it most certainly is."

A/N: Okay, there it is. The final chapter of 'The Hanukkah Miracle'. Now, if you will all be so kind as to direct your cursor to the little purple button at the bottom of the screne that says 'Submit Review' on it, I'd be most obliged. Especially if you want an epilogue.
