They talked about how things were offworld, plus to Jacob wanted to know what else had been happening since he was last on earth. Twenty minutes later there was a knock on the door. Jack smiled because he knew that knock.

"Come in, Sam"

Jacob and Jack stood up as the door opened and Sam's eyes widened when she saw who was standing next to Jack.

"Dad!"

"Hi ya kiddo, how are you?" they hugged one another.

"What are you doing here, is everything alright with the Tok'ra?"

"I'm still mending fences; as for what I'm doing here you should ask Cassie on that one Sam" Sam turned to look at Cassie.

"Well Cassie?"

"I asked Walter to send a message to the Tok'ra, I forgot about the problems, sorry" Jack gave her a hug.

"That's ok Cassie; it was the thought that counts."

"How long can you stay for Dad?"

"As I said to Jack, not for long. He has been filling me in on what's been going on here since I was last here, Lieutenant Colonel" Sam smiled

"Jack told you everything?"

"Yes Sam, everything including this Pete Shanahan."

"Ok, I just couldn't believe that he has changed; I thought that he loved me but I guess I was wrong."

"Well, one guy still loves you Sam and he hasn't given up on you" Sam turned to look at Jack, who is smiling at her.

"I know."

Jack and Sam held on to one another's hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Why don't you two catch up? Cassie and I will go and see how SG5 is, since they are all in the infirmary, again."

"Thanks" Sam, said

Jack and Cassie left them alone to talk while they went to see Janet and her patients. Jacob and Sam talked for over an hour before Jacob had to leave once again. Just before he left, Sam downloaded the information about what had been happening at the SGC; the defeat of Anubis and including the soil sample results and gate addresses where the Tok'ra could go just in case they had to move again. They were down in the gate room when Jack showed up.

"Are you off again?"

"I'm afraid so Jack. Sam has given me a copy of the results of the soil samples and planet addresses where the Tok'ra could move to, just in case we have to bug out from where we are now."

"Ok, anything else."

"Everything Jack; including the Ancient outpost information."

"Ok, Jacob just one thing that the Tok'ra have got to remember; some rebel Jaffa risked their lives to send the message to Bra'tac about that attack and their numbers are growing. It seems that the Goa'uld can't trust their Jaffa like they once did. It looks like this war is coming to an end soon"

"That would be good for everyone concerned" then the gate was activated and Jacob gave Sam a hug.

"See you some time soon Sam, take care."

"I will Dad. I hope that you and some other Tok'ra can make it to the wedding."

"I hope so too Sam" then he turned to Jack.

"Take care of her Jack."

"I will Jacob, you know what will happen if I don't."

"Yes, I know, and by the way, Selmac said it's about time."

They both smiled. Jack and Jacob shook hands before he gave Sam a hug and then he walked up the ramp. He turned to them both and smiled.

"Oh Jack, you have my blessing to marry Sam."

Then he gave them a wave before stepping through the gate, and it shut down.

"It was good to see Dad."

"Yes it was Sam. How are the wedding plans coming along?"he asked as they walked out of the gate room.

"Good, I've already got my dress sorted out."

"Good, shall we find Cassie and see what she has planned for us?"

"Ok"
