Chapter 7
On the day that would have been John and Elizabeth’s second anniversary John kept to himself. Rodney took care of Maddie without John getting in the way. Their teammates and friends tried to pull John out of his quarters a few times during the day, but met with little luck. Ronon and Teyla wound up bringing food over with their daughter.
It was a couple of days later when Laura went into labor. It was the first thing to get John out of his quarters in three days.
Coming into the infirmary just after Laura and Carson the doctor’s friends were amused to see Carson so nervous after having delivered Maddie and Fallon. Although Dr. Keller would be the one delivering Carson and Laura’s baby.
Seven hours later Kayla Marie Beckett was born. Everyone gathered in the small room to get a look at Mom and baby before leaving them to rest.
John and Rodney returned to John’s quarters with Maddie after seeing Carson and Laura’s baby. John placed a disc in the DVD player and plopped down on the couch.
Rodney had gone in to put Maddie down for a nap and came out a few minutes later seeing John staring at the large screen in the living room. He walked over to look at the screen and a large lump developed in his throat.
Elizabeth looked beautiful in the dress she found with the help of Teyla. On the screen she was walking down the stairs that were in front of the stargate. The camera panned over to where John was standing in his dress blues. Rodney was standing fidgeting next to John. Teyla was across from them holding a bouquet of flowers.
Rodney sat down on the couch next to John and watched with his friend.
They got through the wedding and there was some footage of John’s birthday. Rodney startled when John suddenly laughed. He rolled his eyes seeing what John was laughing at. Rodney had fallen asleep on the couch and John had placed a bow on Rodney’s head and tied some ribbon around his neck.
“I don’t remember this part,” Rodney said looking at the screen. “Some of it Elizabeth worked on her own.”
The camera was moving through their quarters and into the bedroom.
“I think I’ll let you watch this by yourself,” Rodney started to get up, but John placed a hand on his shoulder halting him.
“John,” it was Elizabeth speaking in a sing song voice. The camera moved to the bed where John was under the blankets. The top of his head the only thing sticking out. “John, there’s something I want to tell you.”
John’s eyes opened and he gave the camera a lazy smile.
“Sure you want me to stay?” Rodney asked.
John didn’t say anything so Rodney just stayed put.
John sat up and reached out toward the camera, but it pulled out of his reach.
“Huh-uh,” Elizabeth said.
“Elizabeth,” John whined.
“I just talked with Carson,” she said. “And he confirmed it.”
John’s eyes widened and brightened.
All of a sudden there was a flurry of motion on the screen and things got a bit fuzzy for awhile.
“What was that about?” Rodney asked.
“It was when we found out Elizabeth was pregnant with Maddie. She had her suspicions she was pregnant, but she wasn’t sure. We’d been trying for a few months.”
They looked back at the screen and the scene had changed to one where John pulled Elizabeth toward him and began kissing her. A hand slapped over Rodney’s eyes then.
“Hey!”
John’s hand came off his face a few seconds later and they were looking at a very pregnant Elizabeth and Teyla standing next to each other on the mainland.
“That little picnic was a real joy,” was Rodney’s sarcastic remark. Both women were miserable. Hormones, aches and pains. It lasted for an hour and they wanted to go back to the city where the modern conveniences were. Even Teyla who was used to roughing it wanted back to the city.
The next thing was Elizabeth’s birthday. She was over nine months pregnant and suffering false labor pains for the previous couple of days. Right in the middle of the party she thought she was experiencing more false labor pains so didn’t say anything until her water suddenly broke in the middle of the living room.
A few hours later Maddie was born.
Rodney realized John still had a hold on his shoulder when the grip tightened. On the screen Elizabeth was walking down one of the Atlantis halls with Maddie in her arms. Maddie was just under a week old. They came to their quarters and the camera followed them inside. Elizabeth was talking to the camera and the camera man, John.
Rodney looked over at John and he was biting his lower lip. He looked close to tears. Not sure what to do, Rodney placed his hand over the one on his shoulder and squeezed.
They continued to watch the disc for a while longer until John spoke. “Probably should get Maddie up from her nap or she’ll never sleep tonight. Hungry?”
“Yeah,” Rodney got up and got Maddie. He came out a few minutes later. “Got anything here?”
“How about we go to the mess,” John suggested.
“Sure,” Rodney felt a little hopeful. Maybe John wasn’t going to keep himself locked in here forever.
