Over the next couple of days Jack had Daniel and Teal'c help hime keep Sam away from the house doing random errands so he could get everything set for the big festivies on Friday night. He had went and picked out the perfect ring, bought a few things to set the mood. So Friday has finally came Sam and the guys went to get food, Jack stayed behind this way he could get the back yard ready. He hung light in the trees, something that could only be notice once it was dark and he flipped the switch. He just finished when he heard a car drive up, he rushed over and started cleaning the grill not to raise thoughts.

"Hey Jack we're back" Daniel yelled as they entered the door giving him a heads up if he needed it.

Jack came in wiping his hands on a towel " Yeah Daniel I see that, do you guys need a hand?"

"That would be greatly appreciated O'Neill, Major Carter almost purchased the entire contents of the store." Teal'c said as he entered with several bags on each arm, went to grab from him.

" I am well, there are more in the car." Teal'c replied.

" Dang Carter, remind me to feed you before I send you to the store next time." Jack joked as he grab the remaining bags from the back of the car,

"Haha Sir, I just didn't really know what you wanted me to get, you only gave me the answer of something good so I went with anything I thought would be good. Sam replied.

" Ok well lets get cooking" Jack said as he followed her into the house.

As they entered the house, the phone was ringing, Jack put his bags down and went over to answer.

"Hello" Jack said

"Hey Jack it's Hammond, I wanted to make sure if it was okay for me to bring along a couple extra people?"

"uh Yes Sir that's fine, who got coming anyone we know?" Jack asked curiously

" Well as a matter of fact you know both, Cassie and an old friend that happened to drop by, but thats all your gonna get, the rest is a surprise."

"Ok? if you say so..."

"O but Jack, who this is you haven't seen in a while, so keep an open mind and trust me ok, let the others no as well?" Hammond asked

"Alright you got me thinking but we will do as you ask." Jack said

"So we will see you shortly." Hammond said

"Yeasureyoubetcha" Jack said as he hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Sam came back from the kitchen

" It was Hammond...' Jack said lost in thought of who he could be bringing.

"Sir what's wrong?" Sam said she placed her hand on his arm pulling from his thoughts

"Oh yea, just thinking, Hammond is bringing Cassie with him and someone else too"

"Cassie great, I can't wait to see her, but who else is he bringing?" Sam asked looking confused as Daniel and Teal'c entered the room as well.

"He said it's an old friend, that has dropped by and that we need to traust him," Jack replied

"That's a little odd" Daniel answered

":Indeed" Teal'c said raising his eyebrow.

" well I can't think of who it could be I guess we will just have to wait" Sam said

" Guess so" Daniel answered.

"Well we still got things to get done before they get here we better get to it" Jack said clapping his hands a couple of times.

They spent the next couple of hours cooking and getting things ready for a night that none of them would ever forget.

Hammond's House

" You two lovely ladies ready to go knock some folks for a loop." Hammond asked Cassie and Janet they had been staying with him the last few days, until Janet can get a place of her own again.

"Yes Sir, I'm just nervous about how they are going to react, I hope they believe it is really me." Janet replied softly.

"I'm sure it will be a shock to them but I have already called Jack told him I was bringing Cassie and someone they would love to see, and they have to trust me so I wouldn't worry to much okay it will be fine"

'Yea he is right mom, Sam has been so distraught since your death and Daniel well he blames himself, they are going to be happy to have you back, but never as happy as I am.' Cassie said giving her mom a hug.

" So let's get going or wel are going to be late" Hammond told the girls.
