Chapter 4
After John, Maddie and Rodney had been back to Atlantis for a week; John started pushing to get back out on missions. Things were quieter, but the Wraith were still out there.
Once Rodney was out of his cast they were sent off on their first mission. It was an easy one. They just had check in with one of their off world allies. After awhile John began to push for more.
While Ronon and Teyla had the greatest of drive to fight the Wraith their actions were tempered some by parenthood. They were taken by surprise by John’s push. He often came back exhausted to the point it was difficult to give Maddie the attention she needed.
They grew more concerned as John seemed to take on even more responsibility even in the city. Major Lorne was more than willing to give his fair share, but that seemed to be taken out of his hands.
It was a weekend and Siobhan had ordered them to take a few days off. She threatened to sic Carson on John if he didn’t take it easy.
Rodney entered his lab thinking he’d get a little work done since all his time had been taken to go off world. He opened a drawer sifting through a pile of disks to find a project he had been working on when he found something he hadn’t seen in months.
He pulled out a DVD marked ‘J/E Moments’.
Rodney looked at the door to his lab and for a moment it felt like five months ago.
Elizabeth walked into Rodney’s lab holding Maddie who was a little over a week and a handful of DVD’s.
“Rodney, would you mind helping me wit this?” She handed him the DVD’s. “I’d like to edit these videos together.”
“I am a genius of course, but this isn’t exactly my area, Elizabeth. Home movies?” He looked through the stack.
“It’s for John and my anniversary. I want to give it to John as a surprise.”
“That’s,” he had to stop and think about it, “five months from now.”
“I know, but you never know what can happen. Things can get pretty hectic around here,” she gave him a pleading look. “Please?”
Rodney sighed. “All right, but you’re asking for it.”
Elizabeth gave him a big smile leaning over and kissed him on the cheek.
“I don’t know how we’re going to keep this from your husband.”
“That’s easy, when we find time to work on it I’ll just tell John you have some long winded explanation on some mundane problem in the city,” she smirked.
At that point Maddie started to get cranky and Rodney was getting that look on his face he got when Maddie started to get cranky. That was Elizabeth’s cue to leave.
They had gotten a little over half way through the DVD’s when the accident that took Elizabeth’s life happened. Rodney looked at the discs in his hand. It would be their second anniversary in a week he realized. Giving it another thought he made a decision.
