Epilogue:

Sam and the rest of her team exited the wormhole, and walked onto the ramp. When Jack had retired a few months ago, she'd been given command of the legendary team, and she had to admit that she was more than a little proud of that fact. Especially since she'd been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel at the same time.

"Welcome back, SG-1." General Hammond said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, sir." She said with a grin.

"We'll debrief after you get yourselves cleaned up."

"Thank you, sir." Daniel said, obviously grateful for the chance to hit the showers.

"Go on, guys. Hit the showers first. I have a phone call to make." Sam said with a chuckle.

"Are you certain, Colonel Carter?" Teal'c asked, looking at her.

"I'm sure." She laughed. "Like I said, I have a phone call to make."

"Well, we just want to make sure we give the lady a chance to go first." Lieutenant Mark Kingman said, looking at his new commanding officer. "Uh...ma'am."

She laughed. "Get lost, you guys. That's an order."

"Yes, ma'am." Daniel and Mark both announced before running to the showers.

"Indeed." Teal'c said, following after them.

She chuckled as she unloaded her gear in her lab and reached for the phone. She dialed Jack's number, and it rang once before there was an answer. "O'Neill residence." A young girl's voice answered.

"Hello, Grace." Sam said with a small smile.

"Mom!" She cried, happily. "Dad!" She cried, turning from the phone. "It's Mom!"

Sam grinned at the sound of the household she'd left for her mission. The phone quickly changed hands, and a deep baritone took over the conversation. "Well, Colonel, you're a little overdue on your check-in. Everything went well, I assume."

She chuckled. "Yes, sir. It went just fine. Daniel lost track of the time, and Kingman got lost."

"Kingman got lost!" Jack cried, as if this explained everything. "Of course. I'll have to have a word with that young man."

She chuckled. "So, how was your day, Jack?"

"Not any less exciting than yours." He chuckled. "I picked Grace up from school and took her to the grocery store and stocked up on nuts and beer and all the essentials of life."

"I hope you got vegetables." She teased.

"Vegetables? Those are for sissies!" He cried.

"YEAH!" Came Grace's response from the background.

Sam laughed. "Maybe, but sissies still have their health."

"Fine." He grumbled. "We got vegetables too."

"Good."

"So, when's the team coming over?" He asked after a pause. "I'm getting lonely for them."

"I'll find out after I hit the showers. I told them to go first so that I could "make my scheduled check-in"."

"Good woman."

She smiled as she played with the ring on her left hand. "By the way, Jack, I found a great place for a wedding."

"Nice."

"Yeah. Just wait until I tell you about P3X 787."

"I can hardly wait." The man said with a chuckle.

"All right. I'll be home in a couple of hours. I'm going to get cleaned up and get started on my report."

"Sam..." Jack whined.

"And while I'm trying to do that, I'll ask the guys if they can come over for dinner."

"Excellent."

"Goodbye, Jack." Sam laughed.

"Love you, Sam."

"Love you too." She said with a chuckle as she hung up the phone. She had a feeling her life was pretty much perfect.
