Death of the Sith

Chapter 12: The Wedding Day

Everything was about to be ready for the first wedding in the city of the Jedi since the city had been open to everyone from the 21st century. Sam was feeling much better since she got all from her past out in the open. She and the others were on guard just in case Palpatine wanted to attack her while the wedding and the special event were going on.

Sam looked at her husband and smiled. He knew why she was smiling at him and gave her a smile in return. She asked him, "Are you ready to have others call you, Master Jedi?"

"A good many have already." He paused for a moment and continued, "At least they aren't calling me Colonel Jack O'Neill."

"I, too, would rather have that part of my life in the history books, but we all were a part of the SGC and SG1. It was fun, and it had its purpose in not only our lives, but it seems the whole of Earth."

"Since we're Jedi Knights, I can say, yes, that is true."

"I'm for one thrilled to have been a part of the SGC. If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be the General of the SGC," Retired General Hammond said.

They both understood what he was referring to. Their first time meeting him was in 1969. As SG1 meant to be in that time, Sam had to be in a galaxy far, far away. They both hugged their former commander.

She stated, "I can't find myself not calling you, sir."

George smiled, "Get used to it. I, too, would rather live the here and now than the past. I've enjoyed my retirement and all I've done in a galaxy far, far, away. My granddaughters are having the time of their lives. They have made many, many friends on Coruscant and so have I."

Jack asked, "How is your museum doing?"

He realized what he was asking. "Why not come down and visit the place? I know all about what's going on with Sam and the rest of you. Paul keeps me abreast of what is going on here. The Kalium Galaxy isn't all that far from Coruscant... as far as galaxy distances."

"It would be great to get away for a while. I'm sure that Master Anakin Skywalker can still train Barbara and me anywhere in the universe. After the wedding, I'll contact him with the Force and ask him about it. I'll let you know then."

George was serious but kind, "I know you've been through a lot there, and you and Jack found a new home on Coruscant. You know I'll do all I can for you two. Despite, you are both Master Jedi Knights, you are humans and humans of Earth. A vacation, even a small one might make all the difference. It will also help get those two that are getting married on a honeymoon. I know those two have decided on not having one until this war with Palpatine is over with once and for all, but they need to have one right after they marry."

Jack replied, "Yes, they do. It took all of us to keep them from backing down from marrying now. The love they have for each other must be the most important thing to them. I believe it will be that love that won't only help Sam keep from becoming a new host, but to eliminate Emperor Palpatine and the Dark-side from ever using another host again."

George looked at her and said, "I'm sure that Jack has told you several times, but I want to say it to you myself, 'Over my dead body will you ever be a host of anyone.' Got that, Jedi?"

She then gently and lovingly grabbed her former commander's face with both hands and kissed him on the lips. She smiled and said, "Yes, I do, sir..... and dear friend."

He simply gave a large smile back. "If you can and want to come to Coruscant, then let me know. As with Nomi and Brandon, I think you two ought to take the advice given and live as human beings and take a break when the opportunity comes."

Jack replied, "Good point. If it wasn't for the unique situation that Sam is under, I would jump right on the next flight to Coruscant."

George looked at Sam for a moment. "I can understand why you're going to the Kalium Galaxy. I have to admit it is ironic that you are going there."
