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.

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.

My best ideas always seem to come to me while in the bathroom.
