The next morning Sam was beamed to Area 51. She worked during the week there. On Sundays, she was beamed back to the gate room where Jack would great her. They would go to the school and rehearse all day.
Then they would go around to Sam’s place so she could check her e-mails and pay some bills, while Jack ordered dinner for them both.
She also sorted out her washing while there as well. They sat down and talked about what had been going on at the SGC as well as Area 51 and the up coming wedding.
The week before the show, Sam’s wedding dress arrived at Janet’s house along with Cassie and Janet’s bride’s maid dresses. After trying it on and looking in the mirror for the first time, she was happy. Sam and Jack were beamed to the White House for talks about what to do with Pete and his threat.
“Sir, I’ve contacted Martin and told him the situation; he is willing to help out with the graphics for both the show as well as for the disk” Jack said.
“That’s good news. How is the play coming along?”
“Good sir; everything is going to plan and all the tickets were sold out within two days, sir” Sam said
“I know, I bought two myself, so my wife and I could attend it.”
“I bought nine myself, so I could take my family to it” George said.
“Wow, I wonder who else is going to be there?”
“All the Ambassadors and their wives will be coming.”
“What, wow, at least Cassie’s class can go on the trip; they have raised enough money for it.”
“Sir, before we forget, thank you for talking to the Air Force Academy Chaplain for us.”
“Hey no problem, I explained the situation and he said for you to give him the papers on Friday, then it is done” the president said
“Is there any thing else, sir?”
“Yes, you two get a two week honeymoon. You are going to PYX582. Cassie chose that planet after finding out a few things about it. All you have to do is pack your bags and give them to Teal’c on Saturday morning and after the show, there is going to be a wedding reception at the Peterson air force base officers club, only certain people only be invited to it and we are paying for it as a wedding gift”
“Thank you sir but what about my brother and his family?”
“They are on the list, as is Detective Shanahan but don’t worry, we will try to keep him away from you for the evening.”
“Thank you sir” Sam said
“I only ask for one thing in return.”
“What’s that sir?” Jack asked, looking concerned.
“That I get a chance to have a dance with the bride” he said smiling
“Of course sir but you will have to get in line; there is already a list of men who would like to dance with Sam that night.”
“I’m sure there is.”
Jack and Sam stayed for lunch before returning to the SGC. They wanted to get the marriage license sorted out before Sam returned to Area 51. On Friday morning Jack spoke to the Chaplain and told him what was going to happen and what his role in it was going to be.
Once finished there, he went to pick up both his and Jacob’s dress blues from the dry cleaners, just in case Jacob could make it for the wedding. Later that afternoon Sam beamed in to Jack’s office where he was waiting for her. They hugged and kissed.
“How was your week?”
“Busy, Dr Lee had his cast removed this afternoon and I was able to finish off all the backlog of work there. Those scientists were a nightmare; they were six months behind on everything, now they are up to date, I don’t know how they got so far behind when there are plenty of them there, compared to only three here.”
“Sam, I’m proud of what you have done. What are you planning on doing now?”
“Go home and soak in a bath for a while before going to pick up Mark and the kids from the airport”
“Ah, that’s right; you are using one of the SUV’s for the weekend?”
“Yep, I better go, my bath awaits.”
“Ok, see you tomorrow then?”
“Yep, see you then” they kissed before Sam left.
Sam drove home in the black SUV truck. When she walked into the house, she went into her bedroom to put her bags on the bed; then went into the bathroom to run the water and she opened up her bathroom cabinet to get some bathing salt only to find a red rose in there, as well a note saying,
‘Welcome home Sam, I miss you, love Jack.’
She smiled and noticed it was an artificial rose, so she put it on the bench before looking for the bathing salts and poured them into her bathwater.
While the bath was still filling, she walked back into the bedroom to find another rose on her bag. So she picked it up and walked into the dining room and she saw a vase with one in it. She put the other two in it before going into the kitchen to check for any messages and she found six more roses.
She pushed the button on the answering machine to find one from Pete, another from Mark and four from Jack, saying that he missed his favourite egghead, which made her smile.
She went back to the bathroom to find the bath was full. She turned the taps off, striped down and hopped in to the bath and lay back and relaxed. She had her eyes closed, not knowing that there was someone else in the house.
