"I'll meet you downstairs."
"Ok" Janet left Sam alone so she could get dressed. She picked up her cell phone that was next to the bed and called Jack. After three rings,
"O'Neill" a sleepy voice answered.
"Morning Jack."
"Morning Sam, sleep well?"
"Not really; I miss you."
"I miss you too. What are your plans for today?"
"For starts Janet is putting on a hen party downstairs for me. No doubt the men will be putting on a morning bachelor party for you since Laura, Karen and Joan are here."
"No doubt, knowing the guys. They must have started organizing it right after we told them we were getting married today."
"Could be Jack. I better go and see what Janet has planned for me. I will see you this afternoon. I will be the one in white."
"Ok, I love you."
"I love you too Jack; see you this afternoon."
Then they hung up. Sam got up and got dressed before going downstairs to see about forty plus women and girls everywhere. Cassie walked over and grabbed Sam's hand and pulled her into the living room and made her sit down in the chair and took the empty mug from her.
"Ok now that everyone is here; first of all thank you for bringing all of this lovely food for breakfast and now the bride is here, help your selves."
Janet walked over and passed a plate, knife and fork to Sam. She looked down to see toast, bacon, scrabble eggs, hash browns and breakfast sausages. She watched as the others got their breakfasts as well before sitting down some where to eat and chat.
When Jack closed the phone, he got up and walked used the bathroom and then walked back into the bedroom and got dressed before going downstairs to see what the guys were up to. He could hear voices below, so he went into 'black ops' mode and stealthily walked down until he reached the kitchen and he looked around, without the men noticing he was there. Since it was mostly men from the base, he smiled and stood in the doorway.
"Ten hut!" he said in a very General tone. Every one jumped and stood at attention.
"Jack, what are you trying to do, give me a heat attack" Jacob said shaking his head and Jack grinned and walked in.
"Morning campers, it's a shame I didn't have a camera with me this morning" he said as he walked in and went to get himself a cup of coffee before looking around at everyone.
"Ok, who told Jack about this morning?" Jacob asked, looking around as everyone shook their heads for 'no'.
"Sam did; she called and told me that there are a lot of women at Janet's so we put two and two together" Jack said, grinning while taking a mouth full of coffee.
"Gee Jack, you should wear a bell or something" Ferretti said.
"Na, then the enemy would know that I was coming after them."
"Jack, you will never change."
"I have to thank good friends, work mates and one hot, blue eyed, blond doctor Colonel who will soon be my wife" he said smiling, causing a few chuckles around the room.
"So Dad, what's for breakfast?" Jack stepped forward to see what he and Daniel were up to.
"Food Jack and it's ready, so come on guys help yourselves."
Everyone grabbed a plate, knives and forks and started helping themselves to sausages, bacon, hash browns, grilled tomatoes, scrambled eggs and toast. Then they went to find a place to sit down and enjoyed their breakfast while talking.
After breakfast at Janet's everyone had a fresh cup of coffee or hot tea and they all sat down somewhere in Janet's living room for the fun to begin.
"Now Sam, since you and Jack didn't want any presents we decided to throw you a hen party and a bachelor party for Jack, even if it is on your wedding day. But the bridal party got you something for your wedding night." Janet said.
Cassie passed Sam a box and she carefully opened it, moved the paper aside and lifted it to see shear white chemise and all the women's eyes widened.
"Wow, this is great. Jack sure is going to love this tonight" and they all laughed.
"Thanks guys, I love it" then she put it back in the box and put it on the floor next to her. They played a couple of games and talked for a couple of hours before the women left for home so they could get their families ready for the wedding. Janet walked upstairs to the bathroom and she ran the bath for Sam. Sam and Cassie were cleaning up and doing the dishes and just as they finished Janet walked into the kitchen.
"Sam, come with me please."
"Ok" and she followed Janet up to the bathroom.
"Now I want you to soak in the tub for a while."
"Thanks" Janet closed the door and left Sam alone so she could relax for a while.
When the men finished breakfast and everything was cleaned up they all went down to the family room to play some games. One of them was 'How well do you know your future wife'. Jacob made Jack sit on a chair while everyone else sat on the couch and the floor.
Jacob passed a bowl around, full of pieces of paper with the questions written on them and everyone took a piece of paper. Once every one got a piece of paper, Jacob sat on the chair next to Jack with a board in one hand and a needle in the other.
"Dad, what's going on?" Jack looked a bit worried.
"Well, if you get an answer wrong you get this in the arm" he showed him the needle.
"Thanks, I think. Well, ok fire a way."
"Ok, Mark you are first."
"Ok; Jack, how old was Sam when she graduated from high school?" Jack smiled.
"Three weeks and two days after her sixteenth birthday" they all looked at Jacob and he nodded.
"Jack, how do you know the right days?" Jacob asked.
"Sam told me."
"Ok, Daniel."
"What did Jacob give Sam on her twenty first birthday?"
"Cake" they all laugh.
"It was her mother pearl necklace and earrings" Jacob nodded. There was one question after another; some were funny. After two hours of questions Jack hadn't gotten one wrong.
"Ok, Jack you sure know Sam well."
"Yes I do."
"Ok, I've got one for you; what food should you not give to Sam and why?"
"Well, that's two questions; first is Mexican chilli beans because they gives her gas" they all burst out laughing.
"Really, she always blames it on my cooking" causing all the men to bend over clutching their stomach and tears in their eyes, laughing.
"Oh yeah when ever we go out to a Mexican restaurant that is what she orders and the next day we go out on a mission" he waved his hand in front of his face causing the men on the floor to roll around.
"Dad, I hope Sam doesn't find out about this because we both know what she will do."
"Yes, don't remind me."
They watched the guys in front of them settle down.
"Drinks any one?" jacks asked, standing up.
They all nodded and he left them while he went to put the pot on for them all and got the mugs out. They all slowly came in to the kitchen while Jack made coffee and hot chocolate for them. While they were all talking and drinking, the doorbell rang so Jacob went to answer it and then the wives and partners came in.
"Hey, how did it go at Janet's?" Jack asked Laura.
"Good, we had loads of fun, what about you guys?" then Mark came in after he heard what was asked.
"Let's just say that when Jack and Sam come to visit no Mexican food and if we do, no Mexican chilli beans."
"Why?" he leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"It gives Sam gas, the smelly kind" she turned to look at Mark and then at Jack and he nodded.
"That bad?"
"Well, if we had termites they would run next door" Mark said.
"That bad" they just grinned. She just shook her head.
Ten minutes later all of their guests were gone and Jack started tidying up before getting lunch started. After lunch Laura, Karen and Joan left for Janet's place, where they would be getting ready.
Sam got undressed and got into the hot bubble bath and lay back, closing her eyes and relaxing. She smelled the lavender bubble bath and thought about Jack. About how she was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with him as Mrs O'Neill and hopefully they will be able to fill the big house with lots of love. And little Carter-O'Neill's running around the big back yard and making passionate love in the mornings and at night in their own bedroom and shower. She was lost in though until she heard a knock on the door.
"Sam?"
"Yes Janet."
"Are you ok in there?"
"Yes, just relaxing."
"Ok, what would you like for lunch?"
"What ever you have will be fine by me."
"Ok, when you are ready your bath robe is hanging up behind this door."
"Yes, I know and thanks Janet" then she left her to her own thoughts for a while until she noticed that the water was going cold. She pulled the plug and got out and dried her self off before putting the robe on and gathering up her clothes and walking out into the hallway and into the guest room before going downstairs to the kitchen where Janet was serving up cream of mushroom soup.
"How do you feel Sam?"
"Good, relaxed."
Then there was a knock on the door and Cassie went to answer it. She returned to the kitchen with Laura, Karen and Joan.
