I am so sorry for how long I have kept everyone, college work have taken up all of my free time and family on breaks but I finally found time to write this. Thank you all for reviews, I love reading them so keep them coming!

Chapter 25 - Speechless

Sg-1, Jack, and Cassie were all at Jacks house finishing their dinner and Sam started collecting everyones plates while Hope helped her. Once done everyone sat outside on the deck with coffee.

At a silent pause in the conversation Jack cleared his throat and began talking, "So I guess you are all wondering why we asked you to be here today."

"Uh to have a nice time with friends and eat burned meat?" Daniel asked.

"That would be a no Danny boy, didn't Hope tell you there was an actual reason for wanting you guys here? And I did not burn the meat."

"Yea, she promised you wouldn't char the meat which she lied about."

"Hey!" Hope began, "he," pointing to Jack, "promised me that he wouldn't burn the meat for the first time so he's the one who lied so don't go on and blame me."

Jack, shocked, looked at her, "Excuse me young lady, but did you just say for the first time?"

Hope mouths the words 'young lady' to Sam who shrugs before Hope answers, "Yes father of mine, I said for the first time. Although I have only been here for a relatively short amount of time, each time you have tried to grill any type of meat, you have yet to fail at burning them. Even in this short amount of time, there have been plenty to believe that there is a pattern that was started long ago."

Jack was speechless after Hopes' speech so Daniel started talking again, "So Jack, what were you originally trying to say?"

Jack looked at Daniel then back at Hope with his mouth hanging open.

Sam decided to talk while Jack was still trying to get his head around what their daughter said, "Well it seems that Jack is now speechless which is a huge accomplishment, I think I've been trying to do that since the beginning, so I'll just tell you guys the news. We have finally chosen a date for our wedding!"

While congratulations were voiced, Jack seemed to get out of his stupor, "A yeah, that's it and the date is July 28th."

After Cassie finished hugging him she said, "That's only a few months away, why so soon?"

Hope decides to answer for her parents,"Well I looked in Walter's little black book and found out that nobody has put money on that date. So if they get married on July 28th than nobody would win!"

"And it would be a bad thing if someone would win why?"

"Well it wouldn't but it would be really funny if nobody did win. Oh and mom didn't like how people were betting on when they're getting married."

"Gotcha."

"Okay enough chatter, who wants cake?" Jack asks clapping his hands, then looks to Sam, "We do have cake right?"

"Yes, angel cake to be precise."

"Nice," Hope exclaimed, " why don't we watch that show Sanctuary while we eat it, that Will character is pretty cute."

Everyone looks at her, "What? Dad thinks the main female character is hot."

Sam looks to Jack, "What? She is," everyone starts to walk inside while Jack calls after Sam, "You know Sam, she reminds me of you!"

Sam just rolls her eyes as gets out the cake and mumbles to herself, "A 150 something year old reminds him of me? That's real flattering."

Hope you enjoyed the little Sanctuary piece I threw in there and hopefully I will soon be able to add another chapter, I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this but each addition will lead me somewhere! Please review!
