Chapter 23
The next morning all the SG teams returned with the medical staff, all suffering from hangovers. Thor left not long afterwards, and so did the Tok'ra. Julius and the villagers thanked them for saving their lives before they left.
When they all arrived at the SGC Hammond was waiting down the bottom of the ramp with a big grin on his face.
"Mission accomplished, Sir. No more Ba'al, more free Jaffa, everything is sweet, Sir," Jack said grinning
"I'm looking forward to reading all of your reports," Hammond said.
"You all know the drill."
"Okay Campers, you heard the man," Jack yelled. They all groaned, covering their ears as they left the Gate room.
"Jack, why did you have to YELL like that?" Daniel said, and then he put his hands on his temples trying to massage away the headache as he walked away.
"Did I, or did I not, warn them about the drinks?" Jack asked Sam.
"Ah, yes you did."
"Well there you go."
They all walked out of the gate room while Hammond stood there still grinning and shaking his head before returning back to his office knowing full well that there would be an order form waiting for a big box of aspirin after this morning.
Once they had all been cleared Hammond gave them three days down time to recuperate after what they'd been through. Jack and Sam left to head back to Jack's place to sort out their bags before heading into town.
They went to a few jewelry shops to look at engagement rings. Sam chose a princess cut diamond with four small princess cut diamonds on each side. There was also a nine piece princess cut diamond wedding ring which Sam thought would look good as an entire ring set in 18ct gold. When Sam tried it on it fit, and she smiled so, Jack paid for them both.
After they both left the shop happy, they went to a café for lunch. Then they went house hunting for the afternoon. After checking out three Realtors they found a house they both liked: five bedroom, six-bathroom house with a three car garage. It also had a good size back yard. It was everything they could ask for, so they both put their homes up for sale. The money from both homes would be enough to buy their new home, which they were happy about.
They then went to start buying baby things, as well looking at different bassinets and cots for the rest of the afternoon. They spent the three days together as well spending time with Daniel, Teal'c and Cassie since it was the holidays for her. They told them, as well as Janet that they were getting married, and they were happy for them.
When the three days were up, Jack and Sam returned back to the SGC with smiles on their faces. Everyone found out about the engagement and wished them all the best. They also found out that Lieutenant Jennifer Hailey was the one taking Sam' place on SG1.
Over the next month Sam worked in her lab while SG1 went out on missions. It was a busy month for both Jack and Sam what with moving into the new home, planning their wedding, as well work. When they both had time together they went to see the Air Force minister about their wedding and also setting a date for it.
When SG1 returned from their missions Sam would always be in the control room. Jack would always look up to see her there looking at him and smiling, which he always returned.
Two day's later Sam went to have another ultra sound done to see if every thing was okay with the baby. Jack was with her when Janet checked to see if every thing was alright.
"Well Doc? How is the little one?"
"Everything is good. The baby is fine and healthy. I can see no problems so far, but I still want to do another one next month, and you will be showing soon, too, Sam."
"Well I better see General Hammond about some bigger clothes then."
"Already taken care of. General Hammond put in an order of BDU maternity bib overalls for you after he found out that you were pregnant, and in a couple of months you can wear sneakers around the base instead of boots."
"Thanks, Janet."
"Okay, now you two can go. I know most of the personnel will be waiting outside for the update."
"Yeah, true."
"Janet? Do you know when the baby is due?"
"Well my guess is at the end of March."
"Okay, thanks."
Sam tided herself up before leaving with Jack. When they arrived out in the corridors Daniel, Teal'c and Hammond were waiting for them.
"Every thing is fine. The baby is fine and growing. No problems," Jack said, grinning.
"That's good news. Now I hope to have your report by the end of the day Jack before you leave."
"Yes, Sir. Now if you will excuse us, I'm taking Sam to the mess hall for some cake."
"Pie," Sam said smiling.
"Okay, pie then. Excuse us."
Jack put his arm around her shoulder as they walked down the corridor. The others watched them walk away with their arms around each other, then left to go back to what they were doing before without saying a word.
When they reached the mess hall Sam got herself blue jello and two slices of pumpkin pie, while Jack got himself a slice of chocolate cake and coffee. They sat at one of the tables talking and eating.
"Sam what would you like for dinner tonight?"
"I don't know. Why? What did you have in mind?" she asked as she took a bit of one of the pieces of pie.
"How about spaghetti and meatballs?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Then it's done. We can stop off at the supermarket and get the things we'll need."
"Sure."
"How is the wedding dress coming along?"
"Good. I've already got it, and it's at Janet's just in case you were wondering?"
"So by this time next week you will be Mrs O'Neill."
"Yeah. Good timing to have the wedding."
"Why?"
"Jack, we are heading back to PYX 792 so we can have our honeymoon there."
"Sweet." Sam giggled.
They talked about the wedding plans for a while. When they were finished, Jack escorted Sam back to her lab, and gave her a kiss before leaving to finish his overdue paper work so they both could leave on time that night.
Two days before the wedding there was a bucks and hens night. Sam had her party at Janet's place with most of the women from the SGC as well some of the personnel wives. All had a good time there laughing, joking, drinking and eating.
Jack had his buck night at O'Malley's with friends and other personnel from the SGC. There was also Mark, Sam's brother, and Jacob who showed up in time for it, also. They all had a great time. Jack and Mark spoke for a while since Mark wanted to get to know his future brother-in-law a bit better, even though Sam had talked about him a lot when she either visited him or was talking to him on the phone.
While everyone had a great time, some of the men were drunk by the end of the evening. They all took a taxi home or one of the others who didn't drink any alcohol took them home.
When Jack, Mark and Jacob arrived back at his place, both Sam and Mary were waiting for them. When they all staggered in Jack and Mark were both laughing with a sober Jacob behind them shaking his head.
"Honey we're home!" Jack yelled out to Sam as they showed up.
"Shh! You'll wake the kids, and what are you two laughing at?"
"Oh I told Jack about what you did in high school." They burst our laughing once again.
"Hey, Dad. Remind me not to piss Sam off while on missions, and pinching her... what was it again, Mark?"
"Tampons." They laughed again.
"Mark! You didn't?" Sam stood there with her hands on her hips.
The Past
Three boys from Sam's class snuck into the girls locker rooms to check out what they had in their lockers. One boy found a pack of tampons in Sam's bag so they took them and teased Sam for the rest of the day with them in front of the class. She was not happy that everyone now knew when she had her period.
Two days later Sam got her revenge. She asked her father for some money, so he gave her what she asked for and she went shopping. The next day after school when all the kids were gone she picked the locks of the three boys and get every thing set up for the next day.
The next morning when she arrived at school she started a rumor about the three boys before heading to her locker with a grin on her face. She knew that the boys lockers were fifteen meters away, so the student hung around when the boys showed up, and when they opened their lockers there was a big bang.
They all got covered in green flour and glitter, while everyone laughed at them. When the flour dust settled on the inside of their lockers were womens silk lace panties and tampons and pictures of naked women and tampon adds. There were lots of wolf whistles from the guys.
The three boys got expelled for a week. Not for what happened that morning, but for going into the girls locker rooms and going through their personal belongings. When they boys returned back to school she walked up to them with a grin on her face.
"You know, green isn't my color and revenge can be sweet some days. So don't try to mess with me every again. Good day, and see you in class." With that she walked away with the grin still on her face.
The Present
Mary helped Mark to bed, while Sam helped Jack to bed. As soon as he hit the pillow, he was out like a light. She turned to see Jacob standing in the doorway. She walked over to him.
"Dad are you okay?"
"Yeah. Now I know why you asked me for some money back then, but how did you make the green flour and then make it explode soon as they opened the locker door?"
"For the green flour all I did was mix green paint powder, which was water based, with flour and I added glitter to the mixture. Then I put the powder into balloons which were taped to the locker."
"But how did you make it explode?"
"Near the top when it was partly blown up I put a hole in it and put double sided tape over the hole before continuing to blow it up. Then I stuck it in the lock so that when the door opened the balloon would come up causing the tape to come away from the balloon, then, bang."
"Did they know it was you?"
"Not until they returned from being expelled from school. They never tried to mess with me again or any other girls after that little revenge."
"You know, when Mark was telling Jack about that, I was trying to picture you doing something like that. Selmac thinks it was funny. She was laughing when I show her a picture of you back then."
"Yeah, well that was my past." Then she turn to look at Jack. "That is my future." She had her hand on her stomach where the baby was growing and turned back to her father.
"Well Jack knows not to try to piss you off or you will have revenge on him," he said grinning.
"I know dad."
"Well good night Kiddo. See you in the morning."
"Night, Dad."
He left and headed to his room, while Sam closed the bedroom door and went to the bathroom to relieve herself before getting changed and into bed. Once she turned off the light and she was on her side, Jack rolled over, wrapping his arm around her waist, kissing the back of her neck.
"You heard."
"Yep"
Sam rolled on to her back and turned to look at him in the moonlight. He leaned over and gave her a kiss.
"So. I better not piss you off. Otherwise you might do something like that to me."
Sam smile. "No, I won't do that to you. I'll make you sleep in the spare bedroom for a week with no sex, hugging or kissing during that time."
"You wouldn't do that to me! That is so mean."
"Well then, don't try to piss me off."
"I won't."
They both kissed and snuggled down for the night.
"I love you," Jack said.
"I know. I love you to."
They fell asleep within minutes.
