Chapter 17
Four days later Rodney and Jeannie were beamed directly into Atlantis’s gate room. Major Lorne approached them both.
“Good to see you, Rodney,” Lorne gave him a light slap on the arm. “Mrs. Miller,” he offered her his hand.
Jeannie took his hand and shook it. “Major Lorne?” She asked.
“Yes Ma’am,” he nodded offering a smile.
“Where are they?” Rodney asked.
Lorne straightened up. “Your teammates are all in the infirmary and Dr. Weir should be heading back to the infirmary soon. How about I have your bags sent to your rooms and I’ll walk you to the infirmary myself.”
Rodney nodded handing over his bags after Jeannie.

“How is he?” Rodney asked as they walked down a hall.
Lorne looked back at Rodney and sighed. “He’s in a coma. Dr. Keller doesn’t know when or if he’ll come out of it.”
“What happened?” Rodney asked.
Lorne couldn’t hold back the grimace. “They ran into one of those creatures created by Michael. It attacked Colonel Sheppard. Ronon and Teyla both tried to stop it only to get attacked as well. Ronon managed to get his gun and shoot it. Ronon had to drag them both back to the gate.”
“Rodney?”
They turned seeing Elizabeth walking up to them. She didn’t seem to notice anyone but Rodney as she walked straight up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Lizbeth,” Rodney wrapped his arms around her.
At last she stepped back enough to look at him, but not completely let him go. They were both crying softly.
“Lizbeth, you’ve gained weight.”
Elizabeth couldn’t help the laugh that escaped between her lips. “That’s what happens when a woman is about four months pregnant.”
“Oh. OH,” he hugged her. “That, that’s great. You know how what I think about kids, but yours well you know I can always make an exception.”
Elizabeth laughed some more and hugged Rodney tighter. “I missed you,” she whispered.
“Dr. Weir, if you’re going to walk with them to the infirmary, I’ll return to my duties,” Lorne said after awhile.
“That will be fine, Major. Thank you,” Elizabeth turned to Jeannie once Lorne had departed. “It’s good to see you, Jeannie.”
“I’m sorry it had to be under these circumstances,” Jeannie hugged her.
“Thank you for bringing him here,” Elizabeth whispered to her. “Are you ready to see them?” Elizabeth asked Rodney pulling away from Jeannie and wrapping an arm around Rodney’s.
“I guess so,” Rodney said.
They entered the infirmary and came upon Dr. Keller. “Rodney, it’s good to see you,” she said and looked between him and Elizabeth. “Ronon and Teyla are just waking up from their naps. I’m afraid there’s no change in John’s condition.”
“Thank you Doctor,” Elizabeth said. “We’ll see Ronon and Teyla before we see John.”
They walked in further until they came up to the closest bed. Rodney stepped up next to it ahead of the others.
“Rodney?” Ronon’s tired voice spoke.
“Ronon,” Rodney reached out a tentative hand. Ronon had numerous bandages on covering his body. His arms seemed to be the worst with a single bandage around his neck on his left side.
Ronon reached out and pulled Rodney toward him grunting in the process.
“Ronon, careful,” Elizabeth chastised.
Rodney looked at Elizabeth worried. “It’s nothing,” Ronon said.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. “He has cuts over his chest and back.”
Rodney pulled back getting an aggravated sigh from Ronon. Rodney offered his hand which Ronon grabbed hold of.
“How are you really?” Rodney asked.
“Keller’s letting me out tomorrow,” Ronon said and Rodney looked at Elizabeth for confirmation which she gave with a nod. “I’m not lying,” Ronon grumbled.
Elizabeth smiled squeezing Ronon’s hand.
After a few minutes they saw the occupant of the bed a few feet away moving. Rodney was the first to walk over to it. He leaned down when he met Teyla’s eyes and touched her forehead with his. He brushed a tear from her cheek and looked at her. Her left arm was in a cast braced to her side. She had many bandages cover her as well. There were slight cuts scattered over her face and a large bandage over her left temple.
“It is good to see you, Rodney,” she said at last.
“It’s good to see you too,” Rodney placed a hand on her shoulder only to jerk it away when she hissed. “I’m sorry,” he squeezed his eyes shut as tears spilled down his cheeks.
“Rodney, it’s okay,” Elizabeth placed a hand on his back.
“Rodney,” Teyla was saying at the same time through the pain as her own tears fell.
“Rodney, Teyla’s going to be all right,” Elizabeth said hugging him. “Dr. Keller’s just giving her some pain meds, okay?”
“My shoulder had been dislocated,” Teyla explained. “It’s all right, Rodney. Take my hand,” she said when she could see he didn’t know where to touch.
“We’ll let you rest some more,” Elizabeth said squeezing Teyla’s hand after Rodney had let go. “We’re just making the rounds.”
Teyla smiled. “I will see you later then.”
They entered a more secluded area where John was. Rodney had to swallow the gasp when he saw his friend. There was a tube down John’s throat helping him breathe. His head was covered in a large bandage. His right arm was in a cast as was his right leg which was propped up by several pillows.
Monitors were beeping away informing them of John’s heart still beating. Rodney froze in place listening to the beeping. Both Jeannie, who had been silent up to this point, and Elizabeth came up on each side of Rodney.
“It’s all right, Rodney,” Elizabeth said.
“No it’s not,” Rodney shook his head.
Elizabeth wrapped her arms around him.
Rodney pulled away after a few minutes and taking a deep breath approached the bed. They each took a chair on the same side. Elizabeth was near the head of the bed while Rodney sat next to her with Jeannie on Rodney’s other side.
Elizabeth took Rodney’s left hand and placed it on the back of John’s hand. They sat mostly in silence for the next couple of hours until Dr. Keller entered and encouraged them to get some food and rest.

I think it was even mentioned on Atlantis once or maybe I'm confusing fandom. :p I finally found some on youtube. It totally fits John and Rodney. :D
