Chapter 39:

It was a quiet day at Abydos, Skaara was walking around the village, watching the people doing their daily tasks. But that changed when three Jaffa marched into the village, without weapons? Skaara saw them and ordered everyone to go into hiding.

He walked up to the leading Jaffa. The Jaffa looks at him. "Are you Skaara?". Skaara nods. "I am.". The Jaffa then handed him an envelope. Skaara was quite confused. Opening it, he saw it was an invitation:

You are invited to attend the wedding of Jack O'Neill and Samantha Carter.

On the fourth of next month.

With a gate address. Skaara then smiled. "Tell O'Neill I'll be there.". The Jaffa nods as he and his escorts left for the Stargate. Skaara made sure to run to his tent and place the invitation somewhere safe. He was excited for the fact that Jack was getting married. He was so excited he didn't realize that someone was at the tent flap. A woman, a little younger then Skaara, she walked up to him and asked: "Skaara? What is it?". Skaara turned to the woman: "O'Neill has invited us to his union.". The woman hugged him and said: "That's wonderful.".

On Earth:

The gate activated and Hammond walked down to his position next to Walter. "Who is it?". Walter said: "It's Colonel O'Neill sir.". Hammond smiled as he said: "Open the iris.". As the iris opened, Jack and Sam walked over the ramp. Jack was in his armour and Sam in her gear.

Hammond walked up and smiled. "Welcome back Colonel.". Jack smiled at Hammond too. "Thanks, Sam and I are here for this." He then handed a bunch of invitations. Hammond opened the one with his name and chuckled. "Finally, I waited two years for this day.". Sam then said: "Make sure president Hayes gets one too.". Hammond smiled even bigger. "I will.".

In the White House. Hayes was behind his desk, bored out of his mind. Until his secretary dropped of an envelope on his desk. Curious, he opened to find a wedding invitation. "Cancel my schedules for the forth, I will be attending a wedding.".

On the first open chance, he used Air Force One to fly to Colorado. He really was excited, and for the president to show that, it may be strange, but screw his reputation for once, he will be himself. "Can't wait.".

Jack was now in the Mess Hall, eating cake, obviously. While Sam was eating her blue Jell-O. But when ever she didn't take a bite, she will twist the ring on her finger. Jack saw it and couldn't help but smile. "You didn't do that with Shanahan's ring did ye?" he asked. Sam shook her head. "Nope. I always knew it won't work out, but I couldn't help but just try. Because to be honest, I thought when I came back from Prometheus, your feelings for me were gone.".

Jack shrugged. "I was a little shall I say, surprised you used my first name. After all, I was supposed to be the big bad colonel after all.". Sam rolled her eyes. "Even when I pounced you under the touched virus's effects?".

Ares then jumped in. "You should've moved forward. Not hold back.". Jack then blushed when he realized Ares spoke through HIS mouth. Sam was now staring. Before she laughed. "Looks like Ares got a sense of humour.". Jack rolled his eyes. "Well, you're the one marrying a host.". Sam shrugged at that information. "And, as long as Ares behaves, I'll behave." She flirted lightly with a hint of seduce in her voice.

Jack could feel himself hardening at that. "So, the big bad Samantha Carter has a naughty side? Sweet." He flirted back. The intercom then called for them. Heading to the conference room, Hayes stood there. "How's my favourite couple?" he asked as he group hugged them. Jack was surprised. "Pretty well.".

"So, do you need any help with the wedding, name it, I'll get it." Hayes offered. All Jack could say was. "Make sure the IOA, NID or Trust doesn't know of this. I ain't taking chances.".
