CHAPTER 6
They thought that they'd been able to get away with their feelings until they were called back to Earth, a certain General wanted to talk to them. Now, they were stood in the Oval office along with Colonel Carter, Colonel Cauldwell and several other Colonels and Generals that were in command of projects that branched off from the SGC.
"Sit down people, we're going to be here for a while." President Henry Hayes said as he walked into the room closely followed by none other than General Jack O'Neill. "As you know, everyone in this room is a representative of one Air Force organisation or another that requires top level security clearance due to the fact that they all are branched from the Stargate Programme." He started. "Colonel Carter is stepping in for General Landry as he has been called off world. But the rest of you are the superior officers of these projects and commands. We're here today to discuss a change in regulation that has been thought about for the past six years. General, I'll let you take over."
"As some of you will know, there has been tension between multiple people due to ranks." Jack started, glancing at not only the two Atlantis team members but at Sam as well. "There has been one regulation in particular that has caused this tension. The fraternisation regulations." He smiled slightly when he caught Sam's eye. "The president and joint chiefs have agreed that for the people under your command, the fraternisation regulations will be disbanded." It was obvious that he was trying to refrain himself from pulling Sam into a deep kiss but he managed to and continued. "As a result of this change, a superior officer is to clear all relationships and inform myself for review."
"General, would you, Colonel Carter, Colonel Sheppard and Dr Weir please stay behind. The rest of you have some changes to make, dismissed." The President smiled. As the last of the men closed the door, the President's smile became a smirk. "I have you four to thank for all the trouble that this has caused me."
Sam looked as if she was going to start apologising so he cut her off there and then. "I didn't say that I was mad, now. I believe that you have some thing to officially file to me. As you, General and Dr Weir, are commanding officers, you are to report any matter concerning a personal life to me."
"I think I do Mr President." Jack smiled.
"We both do." Dr Weir smiled after John raised an eyebrow at her. 'Let's get this over with.' His voice had echoed in her head.
