1.) Cassie. It was only on the cheek, but it may have included loud smoochy noises just to make her giggle and yell, "Uncle Jack! Stop it!" Because who can resist embarrassing youngsters, anyway?
2.) Sara. Again it was only on the cheek, and she didn't stay long, but... she was his ex-wife. She congratulated him on making it as far as he had, and he congratulated her on having remarried and being a good step-mom.
3.) Daniel. Because Jack was pretty tipsy at this point, and he wanted to see if it was still possible to make the man blush and stutter.
4.) Vala. Because she wanted anything Daniel was getting. She may have got more tongue action, however. And she certainly didn't blush.
5.) Teal'c. According to the former First Prime, a Jaffa warrior that survived to retire like Jack was, was accorded six brotherly kisses (three on each cheek) and one big one on the lips, to show respect for the retiring fighter. But the twinkle in Sam and Cam's eyes suggested they may have simply put their friend up to it.
Nice choices for all! I love Vala wanting whatever Daniel gets lol. #5 was my favourite though, because Sam and Cam would definately do that - and Teal'c would definately go along!
I like imagining his deadpan explanation as he does it, trying to convey that he's totally serious about this being a Jffa ritual, honest. And Cam and Sam trying to hold their poker faces as he does it.
Five people Jack kisses at his retirement partychocolatekettleSeptember 11 2009, 18:28:28 UTC
1. The best thing about retirement parties, Jack had decided, was that everyone in the room seemed determined to buy him a drink. Carter came over with his second beer and a smile, a real, happy, trademark Carter grin, and he grasped her hand instead of the bottle and tugged her close and kissed her, because she was beautiful and he loved her and he could, now. There was a moment of bliss when his free hand curved round her hip and hers slid up to the back of his head and the whole front of her came flush against him, a moment of heartfelt passion. They drew back from each other at the same second and Jack said, "Huh. That was..." Carter nodded, gave him the same bright smile, raised her beer in salute and wandered away. He watched her go, a little wistful for what could have been, had they both been different, and mostly glad that they weren't

The retirement party thrown by his colleagues at the Pentagon had been fine. The attendees had been polite and congratulatory and the whole affair was very low key. Jack worked with some good people there. People he respected. People he trusted to run the program as it should be run

OMG, it's the Trust that's been screwing over Paul Davis? :-D I'm certainly glad Jack's helped him make up for lost time. Cool.
Sweet little Daniel-sandwich, there. (as opposed to the porny kind of sandwich!)
The future looks bright. And maybe that pesky DADT will become part of dusty history books and then Jack and Daniel can show the world what two heroes in love with each other look like. *gets misty*
