Chapter 37:
Another wedding that Jack was forced to go to! Atleast he isn't the one standing on the isle, as a matter of fact, he was sitting next to Sam, it was John's wedding, John was a little stressed, Teyla wanted him to wear his dress blues. Rodney was chosen as John's best man, Ronon and Carson as Groomsmen.
John's stress got so out of control that Rodney had to slap him at the back of the head to calm him. "Calm down Sheppard, don't embarrass yourself.".
But, it's as if the tension dropped, for Teyla came walking down the isle. Jennifer was maid-of-honour, and Rodney was dumbstruck by Jennifer and Teyla's dresses. "Wow, they're gorgeous." Rodney commented, only to have Ronon snap quietly: "Shut it, McKay!".
John and Teyla joined hands, Elizabeth has offered to officiate the wedding. And it took some convincing to get it done. "We are gathered here today, to bless the marriage between John Sheppard and Teyla Emmagan.".
Little Torren sat on a chair next to Halling, he was in a little tuxedo that was handmade. He kept fiddling with the tie. But he eventually left it the way it was. The rings were exchanged, John took the ring and slid it on Teyla's hand, and Teyla did the same with John.
"And by the power invested in me, I pronounce you as husband and wife.".
John kisses Teyla to seal the vow, and the crowd irrupted in joy.
The party was nice and all, it reminded Jack of his wedding, boy was it a day he would remember. But soon, he will have to head back to being the emperor of his people back in the Milky-Way, he didn't miss it, but he missed his friends.
"Care to dance?" Jack spun around to find Sam leaning into him. "Of course, milady." He took her hands and they danced all day long.
But the time to head home was upon them. The next day, Jack and his family stood at the gate room, ready for departure.
Everyone was there to greet them. John shook hands with Jack, he wasn't ready for this, but he has a life to get to too. "Take care, my friend.". Jack smiled, "Same, you have a responsibility now, trust me, you're gonna have a little Sheppard running around soon.".
John smirked, "I know, can't wait.".
Rodney stood in front of Sam, "So uhmm, I am not really good at this so…" he held out a rose, hoping Sam will take it. "I, I hope you safe trip.". Sam smirked at the nervousness the Canadian has, so she hugged him in order to put him out of his misery.
Teyla was next, "Take care Samantha.". Sam hugged her friend. "If you need anything concerning the bun in your oven, just give me a call.". Teyla appreciated it.
Torren was crying, he was gonna have to say goodbye to his new friends. He hugged Grace and Andrew. "I am gonna miss you guys.". The three hugged tightly.
The gate was dialled and the O'Neill family stood in front of the gate. In unison, they stepped through, on their way home.
(Phew, that took longer then a thought to complete. I hope the story wasn't rushed, thanks for the support and reviews. Stay safe, and live long and prosper.)
