Sam sighed and sat at the Briefing room table. No one had said anything about what had happened on that planet until today. General Hammond walked in and sat in his seat. Before anyone could say anything he spoke to Sam.

"You can choose to explain now or after everyone has spoken." He said smiling at her and she smiled back.

"After would be better so I can order my thoughts." She said and sat back ready for the usual briefing that wasn't going to be so mundane. Half an hour General Hammond looked at her again.

"It's your turn, Major." She sighed and looked around the table at her friends.
"Well, it all started when my mom died. After that I tried a lot of things to see if I could contact her. I know you're probably all thinking that this isn't the cool headed Sam you know, but I wasn't so cool headed then. I got into magick and only by accident did I find out that I actually did have a gift. I went to see a fortune-teller, I know they lie but this time I knew it was the truth and she seemed really scared of me. She said that one-day I would save the world with my power. Well I would have to face the decision to save the world or destroy it. I was shocked and walked out and laughed it of with my friends. But a few weeks ago I dreamt of something, something she said that I had forgotten.

"Sometime before you face the decision you will decide to follow your heart over a matter of love. You will see a cloaked figure and he will represent you. With the power to destroy earth or save it you will be like a Goddess in the olden times. You will design something great and you will see love blossom before your eyes." Right before i left she said one last thing to me." The one you secretly love will die before the moment and you shall save him remember you have all the powers anyone could have" Well I did follow my heart over the matter of love," She said and looked at Jack." I did see a cloaked figure – Anubis. I did design something great the project with Merrin and finally I have seen love blossom before me, sorry Daniel," She said and looked at Daniel now. "Daniel and Janet. The only thing left was my secret love dying. I realised the night before the mission that I would be reaching the crossroads in my decision. I tried out some of my old spells and they worked. By the way General, can you tell Siler I'm sorry for knocking the paint all over him. It was a simple incantation and I was so sure it was to make things levitate not overbalance." Jack grinned and she smiled and then continued.

"Only on the planet did it make sense. Colonel O'Neill died albeit briefly and then I saved that planet and us. Then I thought of what that woman had said that I would save him and I did. The only explanation I can offer is that my mother was a witch and so am i. Except I am stronger than any other witch ever born or ever will be born. I have the power to defeat the Goa'uld, and still have a life. By the way Colonel, I did hear what you said and that's why I kissed you. Oh and General I reread the regulations. Since when have C.O.'s and their 2IC's been able to have a relationship?" She finished and smiled sweetly at him. The General just looked at her slightly shocked at what she's just finished saying.

"Well it was a while ago and when we all realised that you two weren't gonna do anything about these feelings you both obviously have for each other. I rang the President and explained the situation and he decided to change the regulations. That's about all I know. Since then we've been waiting for one of you to read the booklet." He said and put his hands together in his lap. Jack stood up.

"You mean you all knew about the change in regulations?" He said pointing at everyone round the table. They all nodded slowly.

"You sons of –" He said before General Hammond cut him off.

"Jack, don't get yourself a court-martial for swearing at your commanding Officer!" He said with a smile. Jack looked up at him and then to Sam.

"Okay Sir. I won't and I'm gonna do something I've wanted to do for a long time." He said and didn't see Janet Fraiser walk in behind him. He walked over to Sam and held out his hand. She looked at it and then placed her hand in his. He helped her stand and then placed a kiss on her lips. They were broken apart by a cry of…

"Woohoo!" Janet cried and managed to compose herself enough to walk across to Daniel and grab him by the collar and kiss him.

To be continued… In the next, last and final one.
