Jack's eyes never once left her, traveling with her every step she took down the aisle. He had known, all those years ago, the first time he'd laid eyes on her. He knew he was going to fall, so fast and so far he'd never be able to find his way out. She was everything he'd always convinced himself he never deserved, eternally damning himself to pay penance for his son's death.

He watched her now, every footfall bringing her closer to him, every step urging him closer to contentment.

His mind was encased in a hazy fog, none of this seeming real to him. They'd danced around each other for eight long years, denying themselves what they really wanted, denying there was anything more than a close friendship between them. And now the dance had stopped, they no longer had to pretend they wanted anything else.

He shook his head, his mind clearing, a small smile playing across his lips.

Sam watched him, her arm nestled in the crook of General Hammond's as she walked down the aisle, and felt a momentary stab of sadness for the people who couldn't be here. She thought of her father and Janet, who had both died earlier that year, and tears sprang into her eyes.

She missed them.

She pushed those thoughts aside, focusing instead on the man ahead of her. Her eyes locked with his and she smiled.

She had fought so hard, the road long and twisted, to fight her feelings for him. He'd surprised her; she'd never expected to fall in love with her CO. It had started almost as soon as they'd met, and before she knew what was happening she was tumbling head over heels unable or unwilling to stop her descent.

Sam reached his side, her eyes still locked with his. Her hand sought his, grasping it tightly.

Daniel watched them, two of his best friends on this or any other planet. He stood at Sam's side, her man of honor. They'd become fast friends from the moment they'd met, their bond only strengthening as the years passed. Daniel had known, even back then, the feelings that were brewing between her and Jack.

He smiled as they recited their vows, Sam's eyes misting over as she recited hers, his heart filled with happiness.

Daniel's smile swelled, his whole face lighting with it as the minister pronounced Sam and Jack husband and wife.

Teal'c stood beside O' Neill, his heart clenching tightly in his chest. He'd fought in countless battles, lost many good friends, and he'd never felt anything like he did now. He felt tears form in his eyes, and turned away quickly, ashamed of what he felt.

He had been honored when O' Neill had asked him to stand beside him during the union ceremony, he and Colonel Carter two of the most important people to him in the galaxy. He felt a hand come down on his shoulder. "Everyone's emotional at weddings Teal'c. Nothing to be ashamed of," Daniel quietly assured him, coming to stand beside him as he watched the happy couple run down the aisle.

Eight Months Later ...

Sam moaned, his fingers magic on her skin. "Yes," she hissed, her head falling back as her eyes closed in pleasure. "Oh yeeessss. Right there," she whimpered.

Jack smiled devilishly and looked up at his wife. "Sam, I think you're making Daniel uncomfortable," he said with a smirk, looking over his shoulder at the rapidly reddening Daniel Jackson.

"Me? No. No," Daniel assured them shaking his head, suddenly finding the beer he'd been nursing very interesting.

Jack chuckled. "For cryin' out loud Daniel," he said dropping his wife's feet, "it's just a massage."

Sam lifted her head and smiled at him, her hands coming to rest on her swollen belly. Her eyes widened and her mouth formed a perfect O shape. "Jack," she called to her husband. "Give me your hand," she demanded reaching for him. "She's kicking again," Sam said, holding his hand in place.

Jack sat beside Sam, their daughter kicking his hand, a massive smile covering his face, feeling like he was the luckiest man in the galaxy. And for the first time in more years than he'd care to admit, he was complete.
