AN: Thanks for all the reviews guys, I love them! And they make me so happy.

With the points, I just out them in their to make it more fun, and to make people review! Hehehe. I actually meant P3R233 I don't know what happened there, but Questionablelight got it right! 50 points for her! The one from Windows and the time loop :D and the one where the quantum mirror was found! And don't worry guys, there will be a sequel to this! I've already done the 'preliminary planning' for it, as they say in my English class. There is hope for them!

CHAPTER FOUR

Sam stood at the front of the altar, holding hands with Pete. The priest had begun the ceremony and she could feel everyone in the congregation smiling at them. She couldn't help it. She smiled too.

She looked out on her side to see all her family and friends. For a brief moment she gave a mournful thought for Janet, longing for her friend's presence. Would things have turned out differently if she had had Janet's guidance and advice? Or would she have done what she wanted anyway?

Sam turned her thoughts back to the priest.

'If anyone objects to this union…' She looked out at the congregation. To her annoyance she could see that the majority of her side were looking very uncomfortable. Perhaps she secretly hoped someone would object…

She dismissed that thought in a heartbeat. She loved Pete. She knew she did. Sam turned back to look at his face. He was looking at her so lovingly, but with a flicker of uncertainty. She gave him a reassuring smile and squeezed his hand. All was well and the ceremony proceeded without any objections.

Sam took a glance over to where Daniel, Teal'c and (the person she was really looking for) Jack, were sitting. She could see from the stand that his hand was in his lap and his back was shaking a bit. Her brow furrowed in concern. Was he shaking with laughter because of something Daniel said? Or was he shaking from… something else?

For a second the thought about all the stuff they'd done together, and all that she must give up; SG-1, her friendships with the team… well marriage did come with its sacrifices. And sjhe knew how close Pete was to his dying mother. She was going to support him in whatever he did. She took a last look at Jack and the team. 'Her boys', her family for nearly nine years, and she loved them and would miss them. But she would make new friends in North Carolina, and new family, her own family…

'Do you Samantha Carter, promise to love this man, Pete Shanahan, as your husband, partner and friend; standing by him at all times with support for his righteous endeavours, in sickness and in health, in wealth and poverty, in joy and in sorrow; learning from his strengths, and helping him overcome his faults; growing together in love and experiences for as long as you both shall live?'

She looked confidently in Pete's eyes, and repeated the words that the priest had said, with such a force that SG-1 and even Jacob and General Hammond started a bit when they heard her say it. Jack forced himself to look at her, to see what he dreaded to see; love.

He saw love on her face and in her eyes when she looked at Pete. He had seen a similar look on her face when she was Jolinar and was talking to Martouf. Okay, yes she did love Pete, but not to the full extent of her love.

He saw her smile at Pete. Gosh she was beautiful! Oh how he loved her! Her gaze turned to him and he flashed her a quick I'm-happy-for-you smile; she smiled back and then turned to look at Pete as he began to recite his vows. 'I Pete Shanahan promise to love this woman as my wife, partner and friend…' Will ya shutup already? Jack thought disdainfully. Gosh this thing was taking forever! He reverted back to his first plan of Kel'No'Reem. Yep, he was going to get through this. He was gonna get through this.

AN: I kind of hated the end of that chapter, so heads up for the next one!
