Chapter Fifteen: The Wedding Part 2
"I do!"
"There! She said it!" Godzilla said. "She and Pete are married!"
"But who did she say it to?" the priest asked in confusion.
"Pete of course—where are you going?!" Godzilla shrieked as Sam ran to Jack, who swung her up into his arms and kissed her.
"YES!!!" Virginia, Leona, Cassie, Charlie, and Vala shrieked. Well, Charlie just yelled it, being a guy and all.
Pete looked absolutely heartbroken and Jack felt sorry for him. "Am I going to marry anyone today?" the priest asked in exasperation.
Sam and Jack looked at each other. "Yes!" they said and ran to the priest.
"Do you Jon—,"
"Yes!"
Do you Sama—,"
"Yes!"
The two kissed again and Virginia, Leona, Cassie, Charlie, Vala, Jacob, and Daniel cheered. Skaara and Teal'c merely grinned. "How dare you!" Godzilla yelled. "How dare you do that!"
"Oh shut up already!" Jacob said. "No one cares what you think."
"Go Uncle Jacob!" Virginia said.
"Dad!" Mark said. "You're just going to condone this?"
"Yes I am. I couldn't have chosen a better man than Jack," Jacob said.
The Shanahan family and Mark looked at him in disgust. "I can't believe you!" Mark yelled.
Skaara got up and went to Virginia. He whispered in her ear. "Now?" she asked. He nodded. "Oh why not. All you buttfaces who don't like them married—SHUT UP! Those of you who do like them married—shut up too!"
Skaara and Virginia went over to the priest. His eyes widened. "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do," Skaara said.
"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do," Virginia said.
Everyone in the room was staring in mute shock except for Charlie, who was doubled over in laughter. "I love this place!" he said between laughs.
"Oh," Virginia's mom said.
"My," her dad said.
"God!" her entire family yelled.
"Did Aunt Virginia just get married?" one of the flower girls asked.
"Yes!" a very irate Mrs. Johnson said.
"Well, the whole family's here. So why not?" Virginia asked. "Oh, Jack, Sam. You two are going to have another wedding."
"Why?" the couple asked.
"Because the…friends…you've made over the years aren't here," Virginia said. "Meaning the Nox, Thor, etc…"
"Right," Jack said. "I knew that." He paused. "Can we have cake now?"
Pete lunged for Jack, who neatly let go of Sam and shoved Pete into a seat. "Okay. Look. I'm sorry. I honestly didn't mean for this to happen. But it did."
"I'm sorry, Pete," Sam said quietly.
"So am I," Pete said bitterly. "I knew. I always knew that I wasn't the first in your heart. I had hoped that you were over him enough. Apparently I was wrong."
He got up and stalked out.
Pete's mother was quivering with rage. "You conniving, backstabbing, insolent, uncaring, gold digging, little—,"
"Finish that sentence and you will regret it," Teal'c said.
"Big time," Cam said.
Cam, Teal'c, Daniel, Vala, Virginia, Skaara, Charlie, Cassie, Leona, General Landry, Walter, his wife, General Hammond, his wife, Carolyn, Siler, his wife, Dr. Lee, Mrs. Lee, and formed a line in front of Sam and Jack.
"And might I add that it isn't wise to insult one of the most valuable assets in the country in front of the President," Hayes said, stepping in front of the line. "Now I suggest you all leave."
Everyone but Godzilla—including Mark—stalked out. The priest had long since left, fed up with the way this wedding was proceeding. "Okay Godzilla," Virginia said. "The President of the United States of America just told you to leave. So leave. Now."
Godzilla stalked off as well. "Okay. Now we can leave," Jacob said.

By the time they had reached the reception Virginia had been coerced into having a "real" wedding. It was either that or being kicked out of the family for two years minimum.
The first thing they did was sort out the presents, putting the ones from Pete's family somewhere else. The next thing—at Jack's order—was to send Virginia's twin brothers to buy a big cake, or a lot of cakes. He and Sam flat out refused to eat the cake that Godzilla—whose nickname was catching on as everyone had started referring to her as such—had basically made them order. The third was to scarp the songs Pete had chosen and sort through the DJs music.
Then the party began. After twenty minutes, the twins brought back two sheet cakes that said, 'Congratulations on Your Promotion!'
Apparently the guy got fired," Bobby said. "So we got them half off."
"Sweet," Jack said.
The eating began in earnest then, Sam caking Jack, Virginia being nice to Skaara, but confiding in Sam that she would cake him when they had a "real" wedding.
"Attention everyone," Virginia said. "I have announcement."
"About your real wedding?" Mrs. Johnson said. "You can't wear red to your wedding!"
"The Chinese do mom! So get over it!" Virginia said. "But I was going to say that had Sam married Pete, I would be crying now. Bawling really. So yay! But I'm sooo grateful for Jack finally saying something. Come on stupid. Why do you think it took so gorram long for her to say yes to the idiot in the first place!"
"Get to the point!" someone shouted.
"Fine! Okay. So I'm really happy he said something. So a toast to the doofuses—yes you both are doffuses," Virginia said.
Everyone took a drink in honor of Sam and Jack. "We probably should toast the new Mr. and Mrs. Abydonius ," Jack said. Everyone toasted them too.
Then the dancing began. There wasn't an official first dance song anymore but they made do. Once again, Virginia showed Skaara how to dance.
Then Virginia was yanked to the microphone once again. "Okay. I'm being forced to sing. Again. And this time in French."

"Yeah! But what did that mean?" Vala shouted.
"Uh…Basically the epitome of Jack," Virginia said. "Especially recently."
Cam went up and stole the microphone from Virginia. "Okay. I know I'm new and all. But Sam said I could go ahead and do this. Here goes. Carolyn Marie Lam, will you marry me?" he asked, pulling out the ring box.
All heads jerked to the young doctor. "Yes," she said faintly, then louder, "Yes."
Cam strode to her, grinning widely, and slipped the ring on her finger as he kissed her. Virginia grinned widely. She and Landry exchanged knowing looks and he slipped her a $20.
"I win. Again," she giggled.
The reception continued, full swing, as the night wore on. Charlie stole a dance with his once again step-mother. "You have no clue how happy I am," he said.
"I think I might," Sam laughed.
"None the less, this is one of the happiest days of my life. And yesterday, there were only five. Three of which having to do with you."
Sam grinned and Jack claimed her again. "So," he said. "You realize we have a lot to sort out, right?"
"Houses, the kids, you in DC, me here, yes I do," Sam said. "But I imagine that Virginia's godfather can clear a few things up, namely the fact that we're on different sides of the country."
"Who's her godfather?" Jack asked. Sam spun them around so Jack could see Virginia dancing with Hayes. "The President?"
"Oh yes," Sam said with a laugh.
"Then I imagine things just got easier," Jack said before kissing Sam.
The two danced together, completely happy.
