Other: This story is dedicated to JamSack as she shares my love of this episode. (Also sorry about any grammar or spelling mistakes. For some reason the spell-check and thesaurus on my computer doesn't work for this story. So, thank you always to my bestie Louise for editing.)

Disclaimer: Daydreaming about owning Stargate doesn't make it real.

Sorry it's taken me so long to update. My muse kidnapped my time and energy and went on a holiday to Hawaii. I know, how jealous was I? Anyway, as a punishment i have made my muse give me inspiration for three chapters. I will update another one tomorrow and then the next the day after. The first two are a bit short. I think my muse was still in vacation mode. Anyway, enough of my blabbing. As usual, my thanks to Puccini, Natters, Rose Stetson, Sci Fi Fan Gillian, americanCHICK41, JamSack, mishy-mo, scjon, Virago500, StarrGazer, CrystalClear444 andstargazzr2 who reviewed on the last chapter.

Chapter 10: Hammond's Mission

Hammond's POV

Knock, Knock

"Come in"

I look up as the door opens to see Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter and can barely hide my smile. After working with them for about four years I can instantly tell something is different about them and I bet all the money in the pool (and there's a hell of a lot), that they're here to talk about a certain regulation.

"Colonel, Major, what can I do for you?" I ask innocently. They glance at each other nervously before Jack takes a deep breath and attempts to start this, no doubt, interesting conversation.

"Well, sir. Major Carter and I wanted to talk to you about the za'tarc incident." He looks around uncomfortably, obviously not knowing how to continue.

As amusing as it would be to see them squirm, I decide to put them out of their misery.

"Son, Jacob told me what happened and I'm assuming you're here to talk about a way around the regulations." They both looked shocked, but relieved.

"Yes, sir." Major Carter says. "I would like to resign from the Air Force, but maintain a civilian position on SG1." She looks at me hopefully.

"Major, although you wouldn't be in the Air Force, the relationshop would still be frowned upon if you're on the same team."

"We understand that," Jack tells me "and we were hoping you could call in a favour for us. Saving the world a dozen times has to give us some credit." A small smile appears on the Major's face and I can't help but permit a small chuckle at that.

"I'm not promising you two anything, but I'll do my best. There's no doubt you deserve it."

They both smile. "Thank you, sir"

"Dismissed." They both salute and walk out.

I pick up my phone. "Get me the President."

A few hours later I hear fax come through to my personal fax machine. I pick it up and smile. It's an official document signed by the POTUS, regarding the regulations for Jack and Sam. The plan that the President and Joint Chiefs came up with is a good one.

I call for Walter and tell him to summon Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter to my office.

Dum, Dum, Dum...hehe...anyway, not much of a cliffhanger really...especially since I will be updating again tomorrow...Anyway, hope you liked it and now please review...you know you want to...
