Neither Jack nor Sam was convicted at their Court Martial. They were, however, both given official reprimands and were docked a month's wages. Considering the fact that General Hammond had procured for them combat pay for their months in exile the loss in pay was not a problem. They were both informed that it would be a cold day in hell before either of them was considered for a promotion; Jack just said "Your loss." He was talking about Carter.

Colonel O'Neill returned to SG-1 although Colonel Reynolds remained General Hammond's second in command. Major Carter's transfer, to a unit that specialized in technology and research, was delayed until after her maternity leave.

Sam was delivered of a boy whom they called Sean. And most of the SGC, past and present, showed up for the celebration at the O'Neills' house.

There lay on the counter in the kitchen, amid the gifts and food and bottles of wine, a card from Daniel. In his handwriting was a quote from his new translation of the Gilgamesh.

"And Siduri advised Gilgamesh:

'Savor your food.
Make each of your days a delight.
Let music and dancing fill your house.
Love the child that holds you by the hand.
And give your wife pleasure in your arms.
This is the true task of man.'"

The party, given to celebrate their marriage and their son's birth, filled the house and spilled out into the back yard. There was laughter and music, jigs and reels could be heard. And under the stars Jack O'Neill danced with Sam with the babe in their arms.
