Disclaimer: Unfortunatly I do not know any part of Stargate, but they would make a nice Christmas present!

As Daniel pulled in to Lt. Col. Samantha Carter's driveway he noticed only two cars there, one of which was Sam's car. "Great, second to arrive" he thought. "Oh well, someone has to be second." With that, Daniel got out, grabbed an armload of presents, and went to the front door. He was just about to ring the bell when the door flew open.

"Danny-boy, come in," came the exuberant greeting from Gen. Jack O'Neill.

"Hey, Jack nice to see you. Uh, could you help me with the presents? I left a few in the car."

"Sure, just put those under the tree in the living room. Sam's around here somewhere."

"And Jack, don't shake the presents."

"Dang"

With that Daniel went into the house. He had not taken three steps when he saw Sam. She had a sweatshirt with a funky looking Christmas tree on it. He must have made a face because Sam stated.

"I like my shirt. Plus, Mark's kids made it for their Aunt Sam. I think it's sweet."

"Well, in that case it looks very…festive. By the way am I early?"

At that Sam smiled, "Well yes. Jack figured I should tell you to come at least 30 minutes early, because you are usually about 30 minutes late to everything."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Daniel said snidely. Daniel then went to put the presents under the tree with O'Neill right behind him carrying the rest of his presents. All three then sat down in the comfortable living room. After a few moments of silence Jack said, " So what's up with you? Died recently?"

"No, Jack. I have been doing better since you left." Daniel paused for a while then, said "Ran into an old girlfriend the other day." After having said that Daniel could not figure out why. Oh, well.

Please tell me that this one is not a gou'ld too." Jack finally said after a long silence. Leave it to Jack to think of something funny to lighten the mood.

"No, Jack, at lease I don't think so. We're meeting again tomorrow for lunch. We've already met once. I guess we have to see of we still can be friends or something."

Jack starting to say something, but Daniel was saved by the door bell. The other guests were beginning to arrive. Everybody was having a great time eating, swapping gifts, and telling stories on each other, each one bigger than the last. Daniel, Jack, and Teal'c were staying the night at Sam's house. Just the old team for a few hours. Before everyone left, Sam had an announcement. Jack whistled to get everybody's attention, then Sam announced.

"I have some great news. Jack proposed to me earlier, and of course I said, yes!" Jack then stood up. "Now that Sam in not directly under my command, and the fact we have saved the world several times, the fraternizing rule no longer applies."

After he sat down the group all applauded and Cassie demanded to see the ring. After everyone left it was just SG-1. They talked about what had been going on in their lives for a while then everybody drifted off to their beds for the night, it had been a long day.
