Chapter 18
Elizabeth had Rodney stay in his old room in her and John’s quarters while Jeannie would be staying in the room that would be the nursery.
It was Rodney’s first night back in Atlantis for about two months and it was past one in the morning. He lay in his old bed staring at the ceiling and willing his headache to go away.
After another few minutes he decided to get up and get some water. Walking into the kitchen he was surprised to see a light in the room already on. Elizabeth stood in front of the cupboards staring inside the small space.
“Lizbeth?”
Elizabeth’s head turned down towards the counter. Rodney walked over next to her and saw her eyes were closed. A tear slipped down from her face onto the counter.
“Lizbeth?” He reached out a hand, but found himself enveloped in a hug.
“I missed you,” her voice was almost a whisper.
Rodney put his arms around her. “Missed you too,” he rested his forehead on her shoulder and he felt her ruffle his hair. He let out a contented sigh. He felt his headache begin to lesson.
&
It had been almost a week since Rodney and Jeannie’s arrival and there had been no change in John’s condition. Rodney was sitting next to John. A few minutes earlier Ronon had left to escort Teyla back to her quarters leaving Rodney alone. At first Ronon wasn’t sure about leaving Rodney, but he promised to stay put until the Satedan returned.
Elizabeth had to be in a meeting and Jeannie was in her room reading a book giving Rodney time with his friends.
“Doctor, this is highly inappropriate,” Rodney heard Radek’s voice just outside John’s room.
“Dr. Zelenka, don’t you want to know if it truly works?” This grabbed Rodney’s attention. Dr. Zagoran, his neurosurgeon, seemed to be arguing with Radek
“That is not the point,” Radek shot back. “Dr. Weir denied you access to the device. We know very little about it. It already drove one man nearly insane; I do not wish to repeat that experience. My god, the very person you wish to use this on was nearly killed because of this thing already.”
Rodney gulped back a gasp. Then the machines around him began to make strange noises. He felt a hand spasm around his. “John?” He looked over and saw John’s eyes begin to flutter and strain. “I need to…uh,” Rodney squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn’t think.
“Rodney,” Dr. Keller shook his arm. “Rodney, it’s all right.”
Rodney’s eyes came open and he blinked. Elizabeth was walking toward him. “Rodney, we need to let Dr. Keller examine John.”
Elizabeth got Rodney out of the room and into the waiting area. Rodney sat in the chair with his arms wrapped around himself. He couldn’t concentrate on anything. He rubbed at his eyes.
“Rodney, I need you to focus for me,” Elizabeth had her hands on his shoulders.
He could feel the pain returning. It had been coming and going for the last few months. It was worse the last couple of weeks. The pain became overwhelming until all he could see was blackness.
&
Rodney’s eyes opened. He blinked and panic began to set in. His head twisted from side to side. He stopped when he saw something to his right.
“Rodney.”
Rodney pushed himself to a sitting position. He realized he was lying on a bed in the infirmary.
“Rodney,” that voice again.
Rodney looked over and almost fell off the bed. He righted himself and stepped off the bed. “John?”
