Chapter 11: Jack's shock

Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill please report to General Hammond's office.

I look up from my gameboy, startled. They've made a decision quicker than I expected. I just hope it's the decision that we're after. I quickly make my way to the General's office. Sam is already in the office when I finally get there. I give her a quick smile as I enter.

"Sir, Carter."

"Colonel O'Neill, please take a seat." I do just that. "The President and Joint Chiefs have made a decision regarding your request to resign from the Air Force but maintain a civilian position on SG1." I quickly glance at Sam and I can tell the suspense is killing her too.

"They have decided to approve your request."

"But sir we…What?" I say dumbly, as it finally dawns on me. Hammond smiles at that.

"Major Carter will have a civilian position on SG1, but she will report directly to me instead, Colonel. However, if I believe this relationship will in any way jeopardise morale, good order, discipline, respect for authority, unit cohesion, mission accomplishment or this facility in any way the you will be asked to cease the relationship or one of you will be transferred to a different team. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir." I have to admit, I'm still a bit shocked. Although it was what we hoped for I can't help feeling amazed that it actually happened, that we are now actually allowed to be together.

"Major Carter's resgination will take up to one week to be processed. I am putting SG1 on downtime for this period. And may I be the first to say congratulatons and tell you it's about time too." He tells us with a smile.

We both stand and thank him.

"Oh and anything you decide to do on your downtime is none of the Air Force's business." He says smirking. "Dismissed.

All I can say is TGIF (Thank God it's Friday). The weekend is finally here!

Anyway as usually, hope you enjoyed the chapter and please please please review. I love reviews.

Next chapter: Sam's courage.
