Moment 12

A long table with bench seats sat at one end of the commissary filled almost to capacity. John and Rodney sat next to each other on one side while Marc and Elizabeth sat together across from them. Teyla was sitting next to Elizabeth while Ronon sat on Teyla’s other side. Last, but not least, Carson sat on Rodney’s other side.

It was dinner time on Atlantis. The seven people at the table had begun eating dinner together when their schedules permitted some time after the city had been returned to their care.

Marc was pleased to be welcomed into this odd little family. There were several different conversations going on at the table. It was hard to keep track of who was talking to whom.

Elizabeth was carrying on one conversation with Carson and another one with Teyla simultaneously. Teyla was also carrying on a conversation with Ronon at the same time she was talking with Elizabeth. John and Rodney seemed to be trading barbs.

While he wasn’t carrying on a conversation with them, Marc wasn’t feeling left out. Elizabeth would turn and smile at him every once and awhile. He knew she was checking up on him. He was just getting his strength back after that flu. She had started back to work full time after he had been released from the infirmary herself.

He noticed John and Rodney were the same way. A person would have to look for it, but Marc had caught the little looks between the two men showing their concern for each other. Rodney was a little slower in getting better and John was watching him with a closer eye of late.

Poor Carson, Marc noted looking at the Scot. He had a feeling Elizabeth was trying to play matchmaker for the good doctor. Carson and Cadman had broken up awhile ago and Cadman was back on Earth.

In fact all of Marc’s team prior to leaving Atlantis after the Ancients had taken it back had been reassigned. He was feeling in a bit of limbo for awhile. He went on some missions with Sheppard’s team before he got the flu.

He was working more on Atlantis now doing what needed to be done in the city. He would go off world when he was needed and when he was well enough, but it was working well right now. He was able to spend more time with Elizabeth and it took some of the pressure off of Sheppard while he was off world so much.

“Elizabeth,” Rodney spoke pulling Marc out of his musings. “Remember a few weeks ago you and I talked about Jeannie coming to visit here?” Elizabeth nodded. “She wrote me back and said she’d like to bring Maddison.”

“Rodney, I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. Atlantis isn’t exactly child friendly.” Elizabeth said.

“They’ll only be here for a few days,” Rodney said. “Jeannie doesn’t want to leave Maddison again.”

“I’ll make sure security is tight while they’re here,” Marc offered.

Elizabeth looked at Rodney and then John who was keeping quiet, but she could she he was hoping she would say yes. She then looked at Marc and he cocked his head to the side and shrugged. “All right,” she sighed. “But at the first sign of trouble they’re on a jumper back to the SGC.”

“Great,” Rodney grinned. “They’ll be visiting in a week if that’s all right.”

“That will be fine,” she said. “Marc and I have been talking and we’ve decided to go back to Earth for a little vacation. We’ll probably leave in a couple of weeks.”

“Good,” John said. “I’ve been telling you, you need a vacation,” he said to Elizabeth.

“Now that I know I’ll be coming back if I visit Earth I feel better about the idea,” she said feeling Marc’s hand wrap around her own. There was a moment of silence as everyone remembered the day they were told to leave the city.

Conversation picked up again and a few minutes later everyone was finishing up. The group parted going off to do their own things.

“I should have said no to Rodney,” Elizabeth said as she and Marc entered her quarters.

“It’ll be okay,” he said.

“Sometimes I feel like the mean mom,” she rubbed her temples as she sat on the edge of her bed.

“And Sheppard’s the fun dad,” Marc said sitting down next to her.

Elizabeth grimaced. “And what does that make you?”

He grinned letting his dimples show. “Mom’s good looking younger lover.”

She shoved him back so he was sprawled on the bed and then climbed on top of him straddling his hips. “You’re going to pay for that. You’re only two years younger.”

“What’s my punishment?” He laughed.

“I haven’t decided,” she leaned down pressing her lips to his.

I know, you're in shock that I am actually commenting. *HEE*

first of all, have loved every single "moment" that I have read. I might even go back through and comment on the ones I especially liked. :)

Second, I adored how you had them all eating dinner together and carrying on different conversations. It it just like my own family. (If my family is quiet, someone must have died) I also really liked how you had Marc feeling happy to be a part of them. The last couple of lines about the "Mom's younger lovers" just killed me. Like I already said at my own journal...I love these two together. :)

Thank you. That last part was sudden inspiration. I had written the whole thing and suddenly this whole conversation at the end came to me as usual in the bathroom. :p

I wanted to make a little joke between them over the fact he's a couple years younger and realized this would be the perfect moment for it.

I don't know if you've ever seen Due South, but it was a show about a Canadian Mountie who ended up in Chicago partnering with a Chicago cop. In the pilot ep. the cop takes the mountie to his house for dinner. The cop is Italian-American and lives with his mom, sisters, his sister's husband and their kids. The dinner with that family is loud and crazy. I had that image in my head while writing this moment. They're not quite like that family on Due South but I wanted to capture the essence of it a little.

Yes I use to watch Due South. I didn't see every eps, but I had fun with the ones I did see. I think you captured that moment wonderfully! :)

You're in luck...sort of. :p When I started my next moment in the series I had a flash of inspiration, but I'm not sure about the rest of it. I'm really hoping I can get this part done and posted today.

LOL. You're in luck because I had a flash of inspiration, but it didn't go very far. I've written it, but I don't like it except for the little paragraph that was a flash of inspiration. I'm going to rework it if I have a chance this evening.

And Moment 8 is about as close to pr0n as you're gonna get out of me. :D

LMAO!
Yeah; I know what you mean.
Sometimes I get an idea in my head and can be thinking about it for hours.... putting it on a piece of paper, then when I write it on the computer it comes out completely different.
Plus that I'm writing in another language (english), soo... ;0)

I LOVED moment 8!!! Sometimes that's enough.
My pr0n is hmmm how do I put it....*blushes* more "hands on" ;0) If your interested (http://cheeky-cookie.livejournal.com/1112.html#cutid1)

What is your first language? I took a year of Spanish in High School. I had a flakey teacher that wasn't very good either. Sign language is as close to a second language as I've ever come close to learning. I have a lot of respect for people who learn another language.

Grins, I love Weir/Ronon too. (It's ridiculous how shipable Elizabeth is)I read that not too long ago. I think I would have preferred the part later when Elizabeth needs him. ;D

Oh I'm from Sweden, so first language is Swedish. I tried some French, but must have had same teacher as you caused he sucked!

Oh she is shipable alright! *swoons*
LOL Well, that part might be coming up... just need to get Lorne out of my head....(oh not that I want him out) LMAO

Lorne's not going anywhere cause I'm going to post the next moment as is.;) The muse wouldn't let me get in some things I wanted to get into this moment so I may have to extend it a bit into another one. I figure if I let this sit too long I'll never post it.
