CHAPTER FIVE
Thank goodness that was over, Sam though to herself. It was a wonderful ceremony, but it was so unbelievably stuffy inside the church that she grateful she was outside in the cool early evening air. A pair of arms encircled her from behind; she jumped.
It was Pete. She smiled at him. 'Did I startle you Mrs. Shanahan?' She turned around to face him. 'You did. But it doesn't have to go that the startling should be', she kissed him fondly on the nose, 'unwelcome.' He kissed her on the lips happily. Their second kiss as a married couple.
Another pair of hands came and poked her in the ribs. 'Crap!' She turned around to see Daniel. 'Geez Daniel, give me a heart attack why don't you! I don't particularly want to die on my wedding day, y'know.' He grinned at her. 'Congratulations, Sammie.' He said giving her a hug. 'Hey!' Pete objected pulling Sam away from Daniel and into his arms. 'She's mine now,' he said proudly. Sam laughed and gave Pete a quick kiss on the cheek.
'Yeah, listen to him. No more Shanahanigans.' There was a collective groan from Sam and Pete as Jack sidled up to them. 'Well that's one I've never heard before.' Pete said sarcastically.
'Well I was aiming more for the newest Shanahan, seeing as she's crossed over tho the dark side and betrayed the name of Carter.'
'Ahem.'
'Oh yeah, nice work, Sam.' He pulled her into a friendly hug. 'I'm so proud that you finally took my advice and got yourself a life. Didn't know you had it in you.' He cuffed her on the shoulder. Daniel sighed inwardly. This was alway's Jack's way. He had to go and be funny all the time. Well, that was his way of dealing with his pain so…
'Sir, Jack,please be serious.' Jack put his hand on her shoulders, his playful eyes becoming intense. 'I am happy for you, Samantha. I'm happy that you found someone you love.' Suddenly aware that the rest of the congregation had made there way out of the church and were waiting to give their wishes, he put his arm's down with a small smile. 'Serious enough, Sam?'
