A few days later, back at the SGC, Walter turned to General Hammond. "We're receiving an incoming wormhole, sir."

"IDC?"

"Yes, sir." Walter said a smile growing on his lips. "It's SG-1, sir. Jacob Carter, Teal'c, Daniel Jackson, Major Carter, and Colonel O'Neill."

George Hammond smiled. "Open the iris."

"Yes, sir!"

Sam, Jack, Jacob, Teal'c and Daniel walked through the Gate, met by a beaming General Hammond. "Welcome back, Major Carter. Colonel O'Neill."

"Good to be back, sir." Sam replied with a grin that rivaled his own.

"Me too."

General Hammond nodded. "We'll have an extra-long debrief after you go to the infirmary."

"And to think that I had almost never had to have a needle jammed in my butt…it boggles the mind." Jack said.

"What does?" Sam asked, as they walked to the infirmary, hand in hand.

"That I ever wanted to come back." Was his smart-aleck reply.

"Jacob?" George asked, watching the unorthodox way two of his officers were walking off to get their physicals.

"Let's just say that they're still honeymooning." Jacob said, an amused smile on his face.

"I almost didn't want to hear that." George replied.

"You can now appreciate how I reacted when I saw Sam." Jacob said, walking off toward the showers.
