Chapter 15
When they got close enough they could see that the woman was flirting with Jack and he wasn't flirting back.
"Come on; come back to my place and I can give you the best massage that you have ever had."
"No thanks."
"Why not fly boy?"
"Because I'm waiting for a very special woman to arrive."
"So, I'm not special?"
"In your own way I am sure that you are but why don't you go and flirt with those guys over there."
"Na, I would rather be with you, since you're all alone."
"Care to buy me a drink you good looking, sexy, hunk of a fly boy?" Sam purred behind Jack's back and the woman turned to Sam and gave her a cold look.
"Get you own man, he's mine." Jack turned around and smiled.
"What would you like to have?"
"Whatever you are having."
She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck while looking into his eyes and they kissed as he wrapped his arms around her. When they broke apart, Sam turned to the other woman.
"Go and find someone else honey, he's mine." And then she turned and kissed Jack again.
"I was here first," she said angrily.
"No, I'm the special woman he was waiting for."
She showed the woman her left hand and the woman was surprised when she saw the ring.
"So, why don't you go and talk to those guys over there" Sam said and the woman turned around and walked away with her nose in the air. Jack gave Sam a kiss and shook Jacob's hand.
"What would you like to drink Dad?"
"Orange juice would be fine, thanks Jack."
"Ok" he turned around and spoke to the bartender, paid for their drinks and then turned back to Jacob and Sam.
"How long have you been Jack?" Sam asked.
"About ten minutes."
"Ok, I've shown Dad the house and the plans."
"Oh and?"
"He and his friend like it" knowing that they were talking about Selmac.
"That's good then."
They got their drinks and walked over to one of the big tables and sat down and waited for the others to arrive.
"I spoke to Mark before coming here about you and the wedding." Jacob said
"Oh… and?"
"I reassured him that you are a good man and that you love Sam and will protect her."
"That's good, thanks… but?"
"He knows what will happen if you hurt her. He want's to know when the wedding will be." he said smiling.
"Good question. Sam, when would you like it?"
"How about the twelfth of June? That is in seven weeks."
"Sounds good to me; do you think you can make it Dad?"
"Yes, don't worry. The council will make sure I don't have any missions around that time."
"Good; all we have to do is get things sorted out and get the ball rolling."
"Since I have some down time, I might as well go shopping for a wedding dress. Dad, would you like to join me?"
"Are you sure Sam?"
"Yes" she said smiling.
"Ok, why not?"
"Great" and just then Daniel and Teal'c arrived.
When they had sat down and ordered their drinks, Jack and Sam told them that they had set a date for their wedding. They talked during dinner about their plans.
After dinner Sam went to the ladies rooms to freshen up before returning to the table. When she returned, they walked over to the pool tables and watched a game in progress. When it was over, the loser walked away and Sam stepped forward to play the winner.
After the bet was made, they played and it was a close game. It was the guy's turn and he hit the white that then hit the black but the black ball bounced off of the corner pocket and then it was Sam's turn. She lined up her shot and hit the white which hit the black and sank it. They waited until the white ball stopped. Sam placed the pool cue on the table and picked up her winnings.
"Thanks for the game."
"Would you like a drink?"
"No thanks." she turned around and looked at Jacob and Jack.
"Dad, are you ready to go home?"
"Yep, it's been a long day."
"True; Jack?"
"Yeah, I better as well. I have work in the morning."
"Ok, good night Daniel, Teal'c."
"Bye Sam, see you in a few days."
"Ok" Jack, Jacob and Sam walked out of the bar.
"So that's her name?" the loser said smiling. Daniel turned and looked at him.
"Yes and you better keep away from her or she will kick your ass."
"Yeah right; someone like her, kicking me a marine, yeah right."
"Where do you work?" Daniel asked.
"Cheyenne Mountain, what's it to you?"
"Level twenty eight?"
"SGC?" he said quietly and Daniel nodded.
"SG1" Daniel told him.
"Who?"
"Jack, Sam, Teal'c and me" the marine's eyes widened.
"Shit."
"So, now you know. See you guys around. Come on Teal'c, let's head back to base" they turned and walked out of the bar and got into Daniel's car and headed to the base.
When Sam, Jack and Jacob reached Jack's truck, Jacob gave them some privacy for a few minutes. They hugged and kissed.
"Well, I better go Sam."
"I know, Dad is waiting in the car for me."
"I know. SG1 has an overnight mission tomorrow so I'll see you on Saturday."
"Ok. I'll go and look for a dress and get bookings made at the beauty spa."
"When I return we can decide on the catering and where we are going to have the wedding, pick a photographer, etc." Sam smiled.
"I'll make a list, how does that sound?"
"Sounds good to me and then we can get together and work from there."
"Yeah."
"Sam, what flowers would you like to have?"
"Roses"
"Ok, roses it is." he gave her another kiss.
"We better go."
"I know; call me when you return."
"I will."
They kissed once more before they said their good nights and I love you's and then Sam walked over and got into her car and left for home. Jack watched her leave before he got into his truck and left to go home.
The next morning Teal'c, Daniel and Jack were down in the gate room.
"Where's Ashford?"
"Don't know, Jack" then Hammond came into the gate room.
"SG1, your mission has been put on hold."
"Why sir?"
"Lieutenant Ashford just called. His wife has gone in to labour and there have been complications. They had to rush her into surgery."
"Oh no" Daniel said.
"SG1 will be on down time for four days until the Lieutenant can return."
"Ok sir, thanks for letting us know."
"I'll keep you informed on the Lieutenant's wife and child's condition."
"Thanks sir."
"Why don't you all go home?"
"General Hammond, may I have permission to go off world and see my family?"
"Granted Teal'c; I know that it has been a while since you last saw them" he turned and looked up at he control room.
"Sergeant, dial PYX372."
"Yes sir" then the gate started spinning and a few seconds later the wormhole formed.
"Well T say hi to the family and Bra'tac from us when you see them."
"I will O'Neill and I will share the news about you and Major Carter."
"Thanks."
"Teal'c, if you need anything while you're with your family, let me know."
"I will General Hammond, thank you" he gave a slight bow. Then he started up the ramp,
"See you in four days Teal'c."
"I will see you when I return. I hope that the Lieutenant's wife and child will be well."
"Same here" Daniel said. Teal'c continued up the ramp and through the gate.
"Well, Daniel, sir, I'm going to go and see my beautiful fiancée and her Dad. See you in four days sir."
"You too Colonel" Jack started to walk out of the gate room, then stopped and turned around,
"Sir, keep the twelfth of June free."
"Why?"
"Sam and I are getting married." he said smiling and then turned around and continued out of the gate room.
"Now you know sir."
"Well, I better get back to work. I know everyone here will want to attend the wedding."
"Yes sir" Hammond and Daniel walked out of the gate room and went their separate ways.
After Jack changed he left the mountain and headed to Sam's even though it was just after 0700 in the morning. He stopped off at the supermarket to pick up a few things first and then drove over to her house.
When he arrived, he picked up the bags of groceries and flowers from the back seat and then he walked up the walk, picked up her newspaper and then quietly let himself in and walked into her kitchen and started making breakfast before Sam was up.
When Jacob woke up he could smell something cooking. He got up and got dressed and walked into the bathroom to freshen up before walking out to the kitchen to see Sam. When he got close to the kitchen he didn't sense a presence, so he walk slowly around the corner and saw Jack standing at the stove.
