"Talk to you two later" then the five Generals left them alone.

"Jack when you were talking to the three Generals, what was it that you asked for?"

"I told them that I'll accept the job and promotion if you were also promoted; as well as trying to arrange that we spend every weekend together, if possible. One weekend here on earth and the next weekend at the Alpha site. Also, that you take over my job as the leader of SG1."

"Jack, you did all of this for me?"

"For us Sam; they weren't happy at first, until I made them realize how important we both are to the SGC. I pointed out that we put our lives on the line over and over during the past five years and for what? Another medal or commendation? So, after our chit chat, they spoke to you and left. That was the last I heard until just now."

Then the elevator doors opened and they got in.

"So how about we celebrate both our promotions and engagement tonight?"

"Sounds good to me Jack"

"Ok, how about my place for a barbecue tonight?"

"Sure, who do you want to invite?"

"Every one, since we are having our engagement party at the same time, if it isn't too early?"

"No, it would be great. Why don't I help you with the shopping after work?"

"That would be great; I don't know what I would do without you Sam."

"Well, you could be stuck on a planet surrounded by a hundred Jaffa?"

"Very funny Sam" then the doors opened and they stepped out.

"See you in the mess hall jack"

"Ok, save some cake for me."

"I will"

Sam walked away, swaying her hips a bit and making Jack groan before turning to head to the men's locker room. After they changed in to their BDU's, they headed to the mess hall where everyone was waiting for them. When they got there, everyone from the base greeted them. There was punch, finger food and cake as well.

Every one congratulated them and they spread the word about the engagement party. Jacob could see how happy Sam was now, after what she had been through. He knew that Jack wouldn't hurt her, neither would Daniel or Teal'c. Hammond walked over to Jacob.

"Everything alright, Jacob?"

"Yes, it's hard to believe that over a week ago, I found out what had happened to Sam twenty years ago and what happened in her lab just recently. Now, look at her, I'm pleased that she has found happiness at long last"

"Yes, when everyone on the base heard about the attack on Sam, they wanted to send Tom Carson to a Goa'uld plant, one way. Teal'c wanted to send him to his Chulak and Daniel was thinking about Netu."

"I'll bet they did."

"What about his family? Do they know?"

"Yes, I went to see them. It was hard to tell Jane what had happened; she was shocked and she didn't believe me until I showed her the tape. She asked me questions about what happened with the rape twenty years ago, I told her what Sam told me. I think it will take a while for Jane to get over the shock. Luckily she has a good home and job. The worst part is going to be telling her four boys about their father being sent to prison." Jacob said.

"It is going to be difficult."

They looked over to where Sam and Jack were; they were talking to Janet and Daniel.
