Chapter 24

The next morning both Jack and Mark walked out to the kitchen with hangovers, and got themselves each a cup of coffee before sitting down at the breakfast bar.

"Man what a night," Mark said.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've been to a bucks night. I forgot what they were like till last night."

"I know what you mean Jack."

It was then that two screaming kids ran into the kitchen with Jacob behind them. He stopped when he saw them screwing their faces up in pain, and groaning, which made him smile.

"Morning, Jack, Mark. I see you've both got hangovers this morning."

"Yeah, well that's what happen every time there's a bucks night."

"Well Sam's got your breakfast in the oven when you two are up to eating some thing."

"Thanks. Where is Sam?"

"Sam and Mary went into town to do some shopping since tomorrow is the big day for you both."

"Oh. Okay. Thanks."

Right then the kids ran back into the kitchen.

"Morning Dad, Uncle Jack."

"Morning, Emma," Mark said.

"Grand dad can we go to the zoo today, please?"

"It's okay Dad, you can take them. It's going to take all day before I feel better again."

"Okay, lets go kids. See you two later."

"Okay." Then Jacob left with the kids to the zoo.

Jack got up and went into the kitchen. He opened the oven door, then grabbed two mittens and put them on before getting the two plates out, putting them on the wooden boards that were already out. Then he took off the mitten, closing the oven door and turning it off before refilling both his and Mark's coffee cup. He then sat down and started eating the big breakfast of bacon, scrabble eggs, hash brown and grilled tomatoes.

"How are you feeling Mark?"

"A bit better. You?"

"Same here. I'm going to go and have a shower. That normally helps my head. I don't know about yours."

"Sounds like a good idea."

They finished their breakfast and Jack put the dishes in the dishwasher and turned it on. They both went to have long hot shower. Fifteen minutes later Jack walked into the kitchen to see Sam and Mary there. He could see that Mary had been crying. He looked at Sam. 'Later,' she mouthed. He nodded.

"Hey, how was shopping?"

"Good. I've got what I needed for our honeymoon."

"Good."

"Where's Mark?" Mary asked.

"Having a shower."

"Okay. Where's Dad and the kids?"

"Zoo."

She nodded and left Sam and him alone. They gave each other a hug and kiss.

"What's up with Mary?"

"Her and Mark have been having problems."

"What sort? Is it financial?"

"No. Sexual problems. I was thinking when we return from our honeymoon; how about we bring back some orange juice for them. What we can do is have the kids for a weekend and send Mary and Mark to a hotel with the juice," she suggested, smiling.

"Sam I like the way you think. Spicing up their sex lives? I like it."

He pulls her towards him and they kissed, and it quickly became passionate. They both pulled apart for air, resting their heads together.

"Thanks for the breakfast, although I missed having my first course this morning."

"And you're going to miss it tomorrow morning, as well."

"I know." They both kissed. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"I'm okay. You?"

"Same here. Better than I was before."

Sam smiled knowing that he would have a hang over after the buck's night out. "Well then, you've just leaned your lesson about drinking too much."

"True, but you know that I don't drink that much."

"I know."

They heard footsteps and turned to see Mark and Mary walking in to the kitchen.

"How are you feeling, Mark?" Jack asked.

"Better, thanks."

They all went out side since it was a warm day. They talked for a few hours till lunchtime when Jacob and the kids returned. That afternoon, Jack and Sam went to the 'Wyndham' hotel where Sam was staying the night and also having their wedding breakfast and night there, as well.

That evening they had a pre-wedding dinner at the Pepper Tree. There were eighteen at the dinner that evening. They all enjoyed themselves, laughing, joking, and having a wonderful time.

Later that evening Jack took Sam to the hotel, where they spent a few minutes together hugging and kissing before he left just before midnight back to there place.

The next morning Janet and Cassie showed up at the hotel with Sam's wedding dress and their brides' maid dresses. They were having breakfast together before leaving to go to the beauty parlour and health spa for the morning, Sam having booked the works for the three of them.

Jack woke up and rolled over to Sam's cold side of the bed, inhaling the scent from her pillow before laying on his back with his arms around the back of his head. He knew that Sam was awake, so he tapped Morse code to her, and she did in return.

'Morning beautiful.'

'Morning honey. Sleep well?'

'No. I missed you.'

'I missed you, too.'

'See you this afternoon.'

'Okay. Janet and Cassie are here looking at me strangely, even though they know that I'm tapping to you.'

'Dad's doing the same in the doorway, so I better get up. I love you.'

'I love you, too.'

"Morning, Dad."

"Morning, Jack. Tapping to Sam?"

"Yep. Janet and Cassie are with her. They're having breakfast together."

"Okay. I'll let you get up. Mary's making up breakfast."

"Okay. See you down there then."

Jacob left, closing the door behind him.

Jack got up to relieve himself and washed his hands before leaving the bathroom. He put on pair of sweat pants before leaving to go down stairs to join his soon to be in-laws for breakfast, only to be greeted by Daniel and Lou Ferretti as well at the breakfast bar.

"Morning," Jack said as he got himself a cup of coffee.

"Morning, Jack," both Daniel and Lou said at the same time.

"So what's for breakfast?" Jack asked as he took a mouth full of his hot coffee.

"Food," the kids said and giggled.

Jack grinned at them, shaking his head. "I know that, but what sort of food?"

"Pancakes, bacon and eggs with toast," Marry said.

"Excellent," he said in Mr. Burns voice causing the two kids to giggle even more.

Jack sat down as Mary passed a plate of pancakes and a bottle of maple syrup to him. He thanked her and started eating his breakfast while everyone talked for a while. Once he finished his pancakes, plates of Bacon, scrabble eggs and toast were put in front of them all and they started eating them.

After breakfast and the kitchen was cleaned up, and the dishes put away in the dish washer, they all went outside for a couple of hours before Jack, Daniel and Lou left to head into town to have their hair cuts. After that they went to buy a few things for lunch before returning back to the house. When they arrived with a bag each, they went into the kitchen and Jack got everything set up before taking the buns, rolls and drinks outside where the others were.

When Sam, Janet and Cassie were dressed after spending three hours at the health spa, they went to have some lunch before going to get their hair and make-up done before returning back to the hotel to get ready.

Both Janet and Cassie got ready first. They both were wearing the same Satin mermaid style dress has tone-on-tone embroidery along the top of the bodice. Thin spaghetti straps lead to a lace-up back.

Pearl pink with matching flat shoes that were the same colour as the dress.

Their headpiece was a rhodium pearl crown with pink pearls stones. Sam got Janet a double strand white pearl necklace and Cassie a single strand. When they were ready, they helped Sam get into her wedding dress.

Her dress was an ivory. An Exquisite two-piece gown. The skirt is fitted at the waist with box pleats.
The form fitted spaghetti strap bodice is accented with pearls and crystals.

Her headpiece was done in crystal rhinestone: the center in a heart shape with smaller half heart on each side seven times with a triple layer veil. She wore her Mother's peal necklace and earrings, as well as the blue garter that her Mother wore when she got married. Now Sam was wearing them in her wedding.

When she was ready they picked up their bouquets of roses and left the room and out to the waiting limo. Cassie was holding Janet's light pink pear drop bouquet while she was carrying Sam train. Sam's bouquet was a teardrop white rose.

When they arrived outside, there was some wolf whistles. They looked around to see two SG teams in their uniforms standing outside of the SGC SUV trucks. There were two in front of the waiting limo and two behind them. Sam smiled, shaking her head at them. The driver opened the limo door for them and they all got in. The door closed and the driver got in and started up. By that time the guys were already backs in the trucks and soon they were on their way to the Air Force Chapel.

After lunch, they all went to get ready. Jack went to have his shower and shave before putting on his dress blues. When he was ready, he got his bags sorted out for both the honeymoon as well as an over- night bag. When done he walked downstairs to where the others were waiting, then they all left together to the chapel.

Lou and Daniel wore black suites with white shirt, pearl pink ties and a light pink rose in their buttonhole. Jacob was in his dress blues for this happy day. When they were all ready, they left the house and got into the cars and trucks. Jack and Daniel went in Louis blue SUV truck and they all left together.

Twenty minutes later they arrived at the chapel and all got out. Jack went to talk to the minister for a couple of minutes before guests starting to arrive. When they did he started greeting them for half an hour till it was time to go in and wait up the front for Sam. Jack was standing there waiting patently.

When the limo arrived and they all got out, Jacob was waiting for them. He smiled when he saw Sam for the first time in her wedding dress.

"Sam, you look beautiful."

"Thanks, Dad," she said smiling.

"Shall we?" he put out his elbow. She held on to it and they walked into the church once the train was put into place and Janet and Cassie were in their places.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Yep. Let's get this show on the road."

Jacob chuckled and gave the guys a nod. One put his head through the door and gave the organist the nod, then pulled back as the music started. The twin doors opened and Cassie went first, then Janet a few seconds later.

When Janet reached the front the music changed and everyone stood up as Jacob and Sam started walking down the isle. Sam was looking at Jack. All she could see was the back of him until he turned around, his eyes wide as well as his mouth when he saw her. Then their eyes met.

When they reached the front, they didn't take their eyes off each other during the service. When they heard the minister say that he could kiss his bride, Jack did do, then the minister introduced them as Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill. Every one clapped and cheered them on. They walked back down to the end of the church still smiling.

When they got outside, both Janet and Cassie picked up Sam's train. Then the guests started coming out and congratulating them both. They all talked for half an hour before leaving to have their wedding photos taken, then back to the hotel for the wedding reception.

Two hours later they were all sitting down for the first course, everyone talking while enjoying their meal. After the first course was the wedding toast and the main speeches, then they all ate their main course. During dinner, Sam got up and went to use the ladies room, then returned a few minutes later.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, I just needed to pee. How about you?"

"I'm good," they whisper to each other and then kiss before carrying on eating.

A few minutes later the floor was opened to anyone who wanted to say a few words about them. Most of the personnel got up and said a few words. Even Ferretti got up and told everyone about the first time they met and what happened that morning causing everyone to laugh and it made both Sam and Jack blush at the memory of that day.

"He is a dead man," Jack whispered to Sam, causing her to giggle.

Then some of the other personnel got up and told everyone about what they were like in the mess hall when it was meal time and how they argue over which j-ello was the best. Cassie was the last one to speak before dessert. She told them all how they caught a love virus and how everyone from the SGC was affected. She told them it was from a flower. She then told them about what happened in the men's locker room and what Sam was wearing. Everyone burst out laughing, and then Janet put her two cents worth in, which made it worse. At least everyone laughed about it.

"Hey Sam! Have you still got that sweet tank top?" One of the majors yelled out.

Sam put her forehead on Jack's shoulder trying to hide her red face.

"Sam? Have you still got it?" Jack asked quietly.

"Yes, I still have it."

"Sweet!" She giggled.

"Come on Sam! Have you still got it?" Jacob yelled out. He was grinning.

She sat up, looked at her father, and nodded. Everyone cheered, and there were even some wolf whistles. A few minutes later they all settled down and enjoyed their dessert. Then afterward, they all mingle for a while till it was time for their first dance of the evening. Jack and Sam were out on the dance floor when the music started.

I am amazed when I look at you,
I see you smiling back at me,
and it's like all my dreams come true.
I am afraid if I lost you,
I'd fall through the cracks and lose my track,
In this crazy, lonely world.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe,
When my nights can be so long,
And faith gave me the strength,
It keeps me going on.

You are the love of my life,
And I'm so glad you found me,
You are the love of my life,
Baby put your arms around me,
I guess this is how it feels,
When you finally find something real.
My angel in the night, you're my love...
The love of my life.

Now here you are,
With midnight closing in.
You take my hand as our shadows dance,
With moonlight on your skin.
I look in your eyes,
I'm lost inside your kiss.
I think if I'd never met you,
about all the things I'd missed.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe,
When a love can be so strong,
And faith gives me the strength,
it keeps me going on.

They both danced slowly to the song while looking into one another's eyes and smiling to each other till the song ended.

"Sam, you are the love of my life, and I love you."

"I love you, too, Jack and you're also the light of my life."

They both kissed before leaving the dance floor to pick someone else to dance with.

They dance with some of the others there, including the president and Joint Chiefs of Staff and their wives. After dancing with family and friends it was time for Jack to remove the garter from Sam. The guys cheered Jack on as he slowly slid his hands up her leg till he reach the garter, then he slid it down again and off her leg before showing it to all the guys.

When he flung it to the single men in the crowd, George was the one who caught it. Everyone was shocked, but at least he was happy. Then it was Sam's turn to throw her bouquet over her shoulder, and when she did, Cassie was the one who caught it. She and George lead the first dance. Then others started dancing also. Sam was dancing with Jacob while Jack sat down and watched her on the dance floor when Mark walk over and sat in Sam seat.

"Sam looks beautiful tonight," Mark said.

Jack didn't turn to look at Mark. "Yeah. She's the best thing in my life in years."

"I can see how happy she is. When she comes to visit she talks about her friends Daniel, Teal'c, Cassie, and Janet, but mainly you. I can tell by the look in her eyes. Every time she says your name, there's a sparkle in them. When Dad comes to visit I ask him about you." Jack turned to look at Mark.

"Dad told me that you're a good, but crazy, man."

"He said that?"

"Yeah. I thought he meant another Jonas Hanson, but Dad told me what he meant by crazy."

"Oh? What did he say about me being crazy?"

"The Simpson's, marinated beer steak, strange sense of humour, and sometimes you put your foot in your mouth." Jack smiled.

"Yeah, well that's me for ya. It's amazing that I haven't been court martialled a long time ago with some of the smart comments I've said out loud."

"Even dad wondered himself," Mark said smiling.

Jack chuckled. "Yeah, I've wondered that myself, too."

"So where are you going for your honeymoon?"

"To a cabin for two weeks. We're looking forward to it."

"Sam said the same thing."

"Okay, is there anything you want to ask me?"

"Yeah. Look after Sam, although I know she can take care of herself. Just make her happy."

"Don't worry Mark. We both make one another happy, and here comes the bride herself."

Jack moved the chair back a bit and Sam sat down on his lap giving him a kiss before taking his glass of non-alcohol champagne from his hand, taking a sip of it. He wrapped his arm around her waist and placed the other on her lap.

"Enjoy your dancing Sam?" Jack asked.

"Yep. So what have you two been talking about?"

"You."

"Me?" Then she looked at Mark. "Mark, I hope you didn't threaten him if he hurts me."

"No, he hasn't made any threats. We've both got the same goal, and that's to make you happy," Jack interjected.

"Well, I am happy, but tired. It's been a long day."

"Well, how about taking care of that yummy cake, and then we can head off. After all, we've got that long trip ahead of us in the morning."

"Sure. I'll go and get it sorted."

She drank the last of his drink and then put it on the table. She got up and left the men alone.

Jack looked at the empty glass and shook his head. Jack watched where Sam was heading, then a few minutes later she returned. Then they all heard:

"Ladies and Gentlemen. It's now time for our Bride and Groom to cut the cake."

Everyone cheered them on as Jack stood up and held on to Sam hand as they walked over to where the cake was. He picked up the knife and Sam put her hand on top of his as they both cut into the cake while kissing at the same time. They repeated that so there was a piece for the two of them. Jack picked up one piece and Sam picked up the other. They both fed one another at the same time. Every- one applauded and some took pictures of them.

Afterwards they mingled for a bit before saying their good nights to everyone before leaving for their room for the wedding night. When they arrived in their room, they removed one another's clothing before Jack lifted Sam up and laid her down on the bed before he lay on top of her kissing. They made love that night for the first time as husband and wife, and then snuggled down in one another's arms and fell asleep.
