The next day they arrived at the SGC with everyone who didn't see them the day before congratulating them on the birth of the twins. They showed Hammond, Jacob, Daniel, Teal'c and Janet the video recording from last night. They all heard Conner say his first word and smiled. Sam was holding Jack's hand; they laughed at what Conner did when they kissed. Fifteen minutes later the video stopped.

"Well there you go, you all heard it." Jack said proudly.

"Thanks for sharing it with us Jack, Sam." Daniel said.

"Yes, thanks, I think Conner trying to tell you to no kissing in front of me." Janet said smiling.

"Thanks."

"Dad here are the photos of the kids." Sam passed them to him.

"Thanks Sam."

"Colonel, Major, you are both on down time for two weeks."

"Thank you sir."

"When the rest of SG-1 returns from the mission with SG-5 in three days time they will have the remaining eleven days down time."

"Ok, well we will see you guys in two weeks time." They all got up.

"Where are you two going?"

"Up to our cabin." Jack said smiling then they all left the briefing room together. They headed to the infirmary where the nurses were looking after the kids.

Once they got them they headed to the elevators and said their goodbyes till they returned back from their cabin in two weeks time. Once they reached the car parking lot and the kids were all buckled in, Jack pulled Sam into a passionate kiss before they both got in and buckled up and Jack started up the truck, then they were on their way to his cabin.

When they arrived there two days later, they unpacked everything and had lunch together. After the twins were fed and put down in one of the spare rooms with Conner for an afternoon nap, Jack and Sam decided to make up for some lost time in the privacy of their bedroom.

A week later Conner and the twins were asleep and Jack and Sam were snuggling in one another's arms after making passionate love for an hour, not knowing that Thor had transported the twins to the infirmary where Janet could take the blood sample while they were asleep then beamed them back again.

A week later it was time to return to Colorado Springs since their two weeks were up; they left early in the morning before sunrise to make their way back to their home. On Monday morning Jack returned to work since Sam was on maternity leave for the next six months.

SG-1 went on a rescue mission with SG-3 since one of the teams, SG-13, were six hours overdue to report in. They were off world for four hours, when they returned with three of the missing team injured with a broken leg or arms or some other injury. The four members were new and this was the team's first mission off world. The uninjured man stayed with his team to keep them as warm and comfortable as possible till help arrived since the gate was over an hour's walk from where they were.

During the debriefing Hammond and SG-1 and SG-3 found out that there was an earthquake which caused some boulders to fall down the rocky slopes where there was a wall with writing on it. The lieutenant told them that he was sent back to camp to make some coffee when the earthquake hit, which caused them all to lose their balance, and he ran back to check on the others when the shaking stopped to see boulders on top of them.

He told them that he moved the boulders away and checked them over and made three stretchers and moved them to a safe location not far away. Then he reset the broken leg and arms the best he could plus giving them a shot of antibiotics to stop any infection setting in and then made a fire.

Once it was going he ran back to the campsite and got their sleeping bags for them and covered them up and kept them warm since it was getting dark. He stayed up all night to look after them till it was just after dawn when he heard Jack calling out for his CO.

Then Jack told Hammond what happened after that, how they all ran to where the missing SG-13 was and gave them another shot of antibiotics and wrapped them up to keep them warm, then they all headed back to base with the wounded. Hammond congratulated the lieutenant on a job well done and staying with his team mates till help arrived, he dismissed everyone and ordered the lieutenant to his quarters to get some sleep since they all could see how tired he looked. They all left the briefing since it was lunchtime and bumped into Janet.

"How are they Doc?"

"They are going to be fine, you did a great job setting the bones Lieutenant, and giving them all antibiotics and keeping them warm saved their lives." She said smiling.

"Thanks for letting me know Doctor Fraiser, were there any other injuries?"

"Yes, Captain Johnson suffered four broken ribs and Colonel Thomas had internal bleeding, I just came out of theatre, he's also going to be fine."

"Thanks."

"That's ok, now if you all will excuse me I need to report to General Hammond."

"Sure thing Doc." Jack said, then they all went their separate ways.

They all headed to lunch while the lieutenant went to his quarters to get some rest since he had been awake for more than thirty six hours. Later that afternoon, Janet was going over the blood results and was shocked to see one of the results come back, so she got on the phone and asked if they could do another test for her if they still had a blood sample, which they had. Two hours later she got the result and was shocked with what she found, so she called the lieutenant in from SG-13.

"You wanted to see me Dr Fraiser?"

"Yes Lieutenant, please sit down." He sat down and Janet looked at the young man in front of her.

"Lieutenant I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you, your blood results came back, you have leukaemia, I'm sorry." The young man was shocked.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, the test was done three times, I'm sorry."

"So my career is over, what am I going to tell my wife?"

"I didn't know you were married."

"Yeah, when we got back from our honeymoon I found out that I was transferred here. We've been married for three weeks, God how am I going to tell her about this?" He leaned forward putting his elbows on his legs and hands over his face.

Janet got up and moved around her desk and sat next to the lieutenant putting her hand on his shoulder.

"What is your wife's name?"

"Kate Jordan, she's a nurse."

"Lieutenant Kate Jordan at the Air Force hospital?"

"Yes."

"Does she have clearance?"

"I don't know." He sat up and looked at her.

"Well I'll find out if she has or not, and if not, I'll see what I can do about having her cleared and we will work it out from there, ok?"

"Why?"

"Just trust me, anyway your team mates have been asking after you so you can go and see them."

"Thanks."

"That's ok, I'd better go and let General Hammond know."

"Ok." They both stood up.

"If you need to talk, you know where I am."

"Thanks, what about treatment?"

"I'll start getting things sorted out and let you know, ok?"

"Ok, thanks Dr Fraiser." Then he left her office to see his new teammates.

Janet picked up the phone and made some calls and checked out Kate's profile before going to see Hammond. An hour later she was sitting across Hammond in his office with the doors closed.

"Is there something I can do for you Doctor?"

"Sir, I got the blood results back from SG-13, they are all fine but Lieutenant Jordan has got leukaemia, the test was done three times, they all came back the same."

"Have you told him the news?"

"Yes sir and also found out that his wife is Lieutenant Kate Jordan at the Air Force hospital."

"What are you asking for, to give her clearance?"

"Yes sir, I checked her profile and records sir, she would be a great asset to the SGC as well as off world sir, from what I have read. She was top of her class in nursing school and she has received a few awards as well from the Air Force in the last two years and she is due for a promotion soon as well."

"Do you think she can handle any emergency when it arises?"

"From what I have read sir, yes."

"Well I'll talk to Dr Warner and the Joint Chiefs of Staff about this and let you know as soon as I know."

"Yes sir."

"Is that all?"

"Yes sir."

"Ok dismissed." Janet stood up and left his office.

Hammond spent the next two hours making phone calls and finding out more about Kate's background before contacting the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. By the end of the day he got the go ahead, so he contacted Janet to tell her the good news. Janet found out that it was Kate's day off the next day so she asked her husband to bring her in, she told him that she got the go ahead to give her clearance which made him happy.

The next morning Jack, Sam and the kids showed up since there was a problem with the gate and they couldn't get it working so they called Sam in. Jack looked after the kids while Sam went to fix the problem. Jack went to the infirmary to see Janet talking to someone new there.

"Hey Doc, guess who wanted to see you?" He said smiling.

"Morning Colonel, how are the kids?" She looked at the sleeping twins.

"Good, Sam got called in, they needed her help."

"Ok, Colonel Jack O'Neill this is Lieutenant Kate Jordan, she's going to be joining the program."

"Ah, ok, well welcome to the SGC Lieutenant."

"Thank you sir."

"Jordan, are you related to Lieutenant Jordan here?"

"From SG-13, yes sir, he is my husband."

"Husband, ok, well you know what happened on the last mission then?"

"Yes sir, Dr Fraiser here just finished telling me what happened."

"Ok good, well if you will excuse us, someone needs changing." Then he left them alone to change Conner. When Janet finished talking to Kate the alarms went off and a medical team was called.

"Come on, at least you will get a chance to see what happens here." Janet said as they both ran down to the gate room to see eight team members lying down on the ramp and floor.

Kate followed Janet and grabbed a pair of rubber gloves and started to help the others with the wounded when one stood up and grabbed her by putting his arm around her shoulder with her back to him and he got a gun pointing to her head. She heard him speek and he wasn't normal, then she remembered what Janet said about the goa'uld.

Her husband ran in and stopped when he saw what was in front of him; he grabbed a zat that was close to him on the floor. She looked at him and looked around her, then she moved her feet and looked at her husband then gave him both eye and finger signals, he gave her a small nod and opened up the zat.

She quickly grabbed the guy's hand that was holding the gun and moved it down with both hands and at the same time she brought up her knee to his arm and broke it in a blink of an eye causing him to let go of the gun. Then once her leg was on the ground she used both hands to remove the guy's arm from around her shoulders and flipped him over her and the railing at the same time.

As soon as he hit the ground he pulled out a gun when the lieutenant zatted him once, then the SFs went over to the guy and removed all weapons from him and then cuffed him before he came to. Everyone was shock with what just happened then got back to work on the wounded. Kate helped out and went with one of the gurneys back to the infirmary and helped out. Hammond and Sam went down to the gate room.

"Lieutenant, does your wife know some sort of self defence?"

"Yes sir, she is black belt in karate, tai-con-do, kick boxing as well as four other martial arts sir, as well as basic hand to hand."

"I see, thank you for that, if you will excuse me." Then Hammond left.

"Where did your wife learn self defence lieutenant?"

"Sorry, you are?"

"Major Carter, you know my husband Colonel O'Neill."

"Sorry Major, yes I do know Colonel O'Neill and SG-1." He saluted Sam which she did back in return.

"At ease Lieutenant."

"Thank you ma'am, as for your question she grew up with both Air Force and marine parents and grandparents and she also lived over in Japan as part of a student exchange program. Also both her parents had trained her since she was little and she learned hand to hand when she was ten from some Air Force personnel who were under her father's command."

"Ok, do you two practice the training together?"

"Yes ma'am, four times a week till I was transferred here."

"Ok, why don't you go and get your wife and show her around."

"Thank you ma'am." They both left as the cleaning crew started cleaning up the mess.

Sam found Jack in their quarters; he was bottle-feeding Cath when she walked in.

"Hey." Jack looked up and smiled.

"Hey, how are the kids?"

"Good." She gave him a kiss and smiled before sitting down next to him.

"What was going on out there?"

"SG-4 and 7 came back under fire and were wounded, and Thompson had got a goa'uld in him."

"What?" Jack was shocked.

"Yeah."

Sam told Jack what had happened in the gate room while he was burping their daughter.

"Wow, so we're going to have a new nurse here, I hope she is gentler than Doc Needles." Sam giggled.

"Who knows Jack, she could be worse."

There was a knock on the door, so Sam went to open it to see Janet standing there.

"Hi Janet, come on in."

"Thanks." She walked in and Sam closed the door as Janet sat down.

"What's wrong Janet, how are SG-4 and 7?"

"They are going to be fine, so is Thompson, the symbiote left him and died."

"Didn't like the host?" Janet smiled.

"Yeah, the reason why I'm here, is that I know you two will be heading off world in a couple of days, and I was wondering if you could take Lieutenant Jordan and his wife with you."

"Janet?" Sam looked concerned.

"All I can tell you is that he is dying and I've been looking for someone to be my guinea pig."

"What do you mean Doc?"

"Well from the test we have been running, if Lieutenant Jordan eats the fruit and drinks their wine, then we might have a cure – as you know from Daniel's translation and what happened to you two as well as the other team, it cures most illnesses. One of the captains was diagnosed with high blood pressure and gout, but when your team returned, I ran normal tests, and he hasn't got high blood pressure and gout any more."

"Well, we will need more before talking to Hammond."

"Ok. Another member has had low sperm count for years, but now they are like yours Colonel, strong and healthy and another person was told two years ago she can't have children. She ate some of the fruit and also had some of the juice three months ago, and I told her yesterday that she is now nine weeks pregnant. Need any more?"

"No, no, I'll talk to Hammond, does he know about the kid's illness?"

"Yes he does."

"Ok, I'll go and talk to him now." Jack passed Cath to Sam before getting up and heading to the door.

"Colonel I hope you can convince him."

"Do you know how long they have been married for?"

"Three weeks." Jack nodded then looked at Sam and Cath before walking out the door.

"Don't worry Janet, everything is going to be ok."

"I know, I'd better head back to my patients, see you at lunch."

"Ok, don't worry, Jack will convince General Hammond."

"I know." Then she got up and left Sam to look after the kids.

Jack went to talk to General Hammond about having the lieutenant and his wife with him and Sam when they head off world, to where the marriage stone is. He gave him the ok, so Jack went to look for the lieutenant to find him and his wife talking to SG-13 in one of the rooms off the infirmary.

"So you're the new nurse here?" When he saw who it was.

"Yes sir."

"Ok, so how are you guys feeling?" He asked the members of SG-13.

"Good, we heard about what happened in the gate room. Any word on Thompson?"

"Yes, the snake didn't like him so he left."

"Well at least we know the stuff works."

"True, now the reason why I'm here is the two of you …" he pointed to Lieutenant Jordan and his wife. "… are coming with Sam and me on Thursday off world for two days."

"Sir?"

"Well since the rest of your team are stuck in here you can come with us, as for you wife, at least she well get a chance to go through the gate for the first time. And also if any woman goes into labour, you will be there, till the Doc shows up."

"What about the goa'uld sir?"

"Don't worry, it's a safe planet, with heaps of people on it who love to party." Jack said smiling.

"Ok thanks."

"Good, now if you will excuse me I'm going to find Sam and go and have some cake." Then he walked out the door with a grin on his face.

On his way to their quarters, he could taste chocolate in his mouth so he knew she was in the mess hall. So he headed there with a grin on his face. When he arrived there, he got himself coffee and cake before joining Sam. He saw his son with chocolate fingers and mouth; he was grinning, which made Jack smile.

"Are you trying to spoil his lunch Sam?"

"No, I just gave him a small piece of my cake and as you can see, he is happy."

"Ok, so I didn't get a chance to ask you before, have you managed to fix the problem?"

"Yes, it's fixed for now, after this I was going to do some shopping and grab some lunch while in town."

"Ok."

"What would you like for dinner tonight?"

"How about steak?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Good." They talked about Conner's first birthday party and what they were going to do on the day.

Twenty minutes later after Conner was cleaned up Jack gave the three kids and Sam a kiss before she left to head into town.

Two days later Jack, Sam, Lieutenant Jordan and his wife were at the bottom of the ramp with the rest of SG-1 and another team, when the wormhole opened. They all walked up the ramp and through the gate.

"Wow it looks like Earth." Kate said.

"We know, there are thousands of planets which look like this one." Sam said.

They walked to the village and were greeted by Julius and the kids there. They all talked while walking through the village till they came to the guesthouse. Everyone walked in and got settled while Jack and Sam went to their cabin and got settled in before returning to the guest house, where the others were.

They showed them around and also talked to the villagers till lunch time when they had lunch with Julius, and afterwards he showed them the vegetable patches where the vegetables had grown to between six and eight times bigger than Earth size vegetables. They showed them the hens and roosters, and the size of one of the eggs, and told them that three hens were sitting with eggs under them and hoping to have baby chicks soon. After being shown around they all went for a swim and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon.

That evening they all arrived in the temple where the marriage ceremony was. There were fifteen couples this time to see if the stone would glow for them or not. In the end, the stone didn't glow for three couples. Then Julius walked over to where Jack and Sam were and he looked at Kate and her husband Keith.

"Would you two like to try, to see if you are soul mates?" They looked at each other and both nodded.

"Remember, do what the other couples do." Sam said to them both.

They walked over to the stone and put their hands on the prints as they looked into each other's eyes, and the stone did glow for them, so they shared the wine and kissed before bowing to Julius. Then they all went outside to the bonfire and sat down, and then the party began.

They all enjoyed themselves, eating and drinking, having a good time. Two hours later both Jack and Sam noticed Kate and Keith had left the party, and they knew what they were going to be doing. Jack leaned over and gave Sam a kiss and whispered in her ear.

"Lets head back to the cabin ourselves."

Sam moved her hand while looking around, and she felt his hard length so she gave it a squeeze. She heard him moan so she let go and stood up and smiled, then walked towards their cabin. Jack said his goodnights and followed Sam back to their cabin. When he walked in the door, he saw the bedroom door open and just the lamp light coming from there, and he walked in and stopped.

Lying in the middle of the bed was a naked Sam smiling at him. He quickly took his boots off while looking at her, then he undid his belt, button and fly, them pulled his pants and boxers down and climbed on top of Sam, who opened her legs for him as he thrust his hard length into to her wet centre.

They both moaned at the same time, then he pulled it almost out then back in again; he knew he was close so he moved one hand down between them to rub her swollen clit.

"OH yes…. MMM…. Yes Jack, harder, yes, harder, yes, yes, JAAACCCKKK!"

"SAMMMMM!" They screamed out one another's names as he filled her with his seed and orgasm hit them both at the same time. He moved his hand from between them and then gave her a kiss. They both caught their breath while looking into one another's eyes.

"Ready for round two?"

"Yes, are you?" He started moving within her again. They made passionate love six times that night before they both fell asleep in one another's arms from exhaustion.
