Previously on Life of a warrior...
This was what she had wanted since she met Jack O'Neill. Well since she met him might be pushing it but she loved the man with all her heart.
"You'll be amazing." Janet said in awe of her dress. "It's even more beautiful then mine."
"I'm sure that's not true Janet. We should get home. We've been here more then three hours." Sam said looking at her watch.
"Alright. So pay for the dress and we can get out of here. My feet are getting a bit sore."
"Right, I remember what pregnant is like. Swollen feet was my most annoying symptom."
They payed for their dresses and went home.
Tomorrow they would be married on September 17th at 1600 hours.
And now the continuation...
Sam is in her lab working on some new projects SG17 brought back. Hammond walked in with Jennifer Hailey.
"Sir? Jennifer?" Sam looked up from her walk.
"Captain Hailey has made a decision and she wished to tell you before informing the rest of sg1. Now I must get going. I have wedding details to attend to." Hammond said as he left the lab. Sam smiled to herself before looking at Jennifer with a worried expression on her face.
"What did you want to tell me Jennifer?"
"I have decided to leave Sg1."
"What! Why?" Sam asked quite shocked at the young captains decision. "Is it because of me?"
"No of course not, I am just finding it difficult to juggle work and single parenthood. I'm going to stay on as a scientist and as a recruiter." Jennifer said.
"Are you sure?" Sam asked.
"Yes. I love Nadya so much, I don't want to leave her with no parent. This is best for our family."
"Well then I congratulate you. Are you coming to my wedding today?"
"I wouldn't miss it for anything." Jennifer said with a smile. The two hugged.
"Thank you Jen, for everything you did while I was gone. I really appreciate it." Sam said with a smile. She was starting to get emotional.
"Should I stay or come back later?" A voice in the door way spoke.
Sam whirled around.
"Dad!" Sam hugged her father.
"I'll see you later." Jennifer said as she left the room.
"Dad when did you get here?" Sam asked.
"Just a few minutes ago. I hear your getting married tomorrow?" Jacob asked more then said.
"Yep. We got permission from President Hayes last night."
"Really? The president himself. That is quite an honour." Jacob said.
"We've saved the world so many times. I think it's the presidents honour." Sam said with a beaming smile.
"Your sounding more and more like Jack everyday." Jacob said.
"Don't I know it." Sam said with exhaustive sarcasm. Jacob gave a laugh.
"Is Mark coming?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah."
"And Annie too?"
Sam nodded.
"Are you sure that's wise? I mean she is very close to her due date." Jacob wondered.
"Mark and Annie said it was okay. Janet is fine if Annie goes into labour here." Sam said.
"Well... as long as you have a plan. Now where is Jack and the kids?"
"He took the kids to the park. He's picking up Mark and his brother at the airport later and He'll be back by 1400 hours for the wedding." Sam said.
"He better or I'd..."
"Dad. Jack is a good man, he wouldn't do anything to hurt me." Sam said.
"I know Sammy." Jacob hugged his daughter again.
Jack watched his two oldest daughters play on the slides. Hannah was in her carrier right beside him. A man sat next to him.
"My daughters seem to like playing with your girls." The man said.
"Sorry but who are your daughters?" Jack asked. He had to make sure this guy wasn't some pervert.
"The one in the green dress is Deanna and the one wearing the outfit is Darla. Fraternal twins."
"Grace is wearing the Lilac dress and AJ is wearing the blue dress. Grace is eight months older then AJ who is adopted. I'm Jack O'Neill." Jack stuck out his hand. The man took it.
"Fred Terrensorn. You a single dad? Me I'm playing the daddy bachelor myself." Fred said.
"Ah no. Only one is biologically mine. Grace, the oldest. The other two are adopted. I'm getting married to the mother today." Jack said.
"And your girl is what four?" Fred said.
"Three and a half. Sam was missing in action until two weeks ago."
"Wow. Must be a true love then. Man hate to cut a conversation short but I have to get the girls home." Fred said.
"It was a pleasure meeting you." Jack said. Fred nodded back and smiled. He left with his two girls. He looked at his watch.
"Damm. I'm going to be late to pick up Mark." Jack muttered. He called for the girls. "Grace! AJ! We have to go!"
"But. dad.." Grace started.
"Now Grace!" Jack said sternly. Grace and AJ came up to Jack and he brought them and Hannah to the Van.
"Where are we going dad?" Grace asked.
"To pick up your uncle Mark and aunt Annie." Jack said.
"Auntie Annie is awesome." AJ said quietly. Jack grinned at his three year old daughter.
Jack picked up Mark and his family and headed to the mountain.
"You know I thought you guys were going to wait a little longer." Mark said.
"Us to but Sam wanted to get married before she went on a mission. The president gave us permission so..." Jack said but he was cut off by a now very excited Mark Carter.
"The president?... Of the united states?"
"The one and only." Jack grinned.
"That is so cool." Thirteen year old Ryan said.
"I think it is." Jack said.
Hannah began to cry in her car seat.
"Mark, Annie? Can one of you grab her bottle from her diaper bag?" Jack glanced over his shoulder quickly.
Mark grabbed the bottle and passed it to his very pregnant wife who was closer. Once Hannah had the bottle in her mouth she relaxed immediately.
"Thanks." Jack said.
"No problem." Annie said. She seemed to grit her teeth in momentary pain.
"Are you alright?" Mark asked worried about his wife's delicate condition.
"No I'm alright, the baby just kicked." Annie said.
"As long as your sure." Mark said looking straight into her eyes.
"I'm sure Mark now let's get to the mountain for your sisters wedding."
Jack dropped them off at the SGC with an airmen.
"I'd love to stay with you kind folk but I have to pick up other people or more specifically my little brother. Airmen Wells will bring you to Sam's lab." Jack said before leaving to Peterson Air Base.
Sam was in her lab with her dad.
"You know, looking over my shoulder isn't going to make 1400 hours come any faster." Sam said with out looking up.
"I know but it's only minutes away." Jacob said.
"Major, General, The Carter party has arrived." Airmen wells said at the door.
"Okay you can go now Airmen." Jacob said.
"Mark!" Sam hugged her brother.
Ryan and Zoe hugged their aunt. Sam and Annie did their best to hug like sisters but it was very difficult.
"So what now?" Mark asked.
"We wait for Jack to come back with Richard. In the meantime Dad and I want to show you something." Sam said. She walked out of her lab and motioned for her family to follow her.
"And this is the briefing room also known as the observation room." Sam said bringing her family into the briefing room.
"Wow." Ryan and Zoe said together. They turned and glared at one another for a few seconds before returning to their previous view.
"Is that the...?" Mark began.
"The good ol' oriface? Yeppers." Jack came into the room with Richard.
"Jack! Your here!" Sam hugged and kissed her soon to be husband.
"Where else would I be on my wedding day?" Jack said with a smile. Sam smacked his arm.
"I love you." Sam said.
"Back at you Samantha Carter." Jack said. They dipped into a long passionate kiss.
Someone cleared their throat. Jack and Sam separated. It was General Hammond.
"Save it for the ceremony guy's. The president is on his way. I suggest you begin to get ready." Hammond said.
Sam and Jack nodded. Guy's and girls separated into their separate rooms where everyone gathered.
There was a wedding to put on.
So what do you folks think? I will only be posting the wedding and the epilogue after this. Sorry people but I have lost my muse for this story. Wedding is up next.
