Looking To The Future Chapter 1: A Shocking Discovery
Jennifer and Rodney were sound asleep next to each other in their quarters when suddenly Jennifer woke up and ran to the bathroom and vomited, when she came out Rodney looked worried
"Jen, are you ok?" he asked.
"Ye, it's probably just the flu or something" replied Jennifer.
"Ok, but I'm walking you to work," said Rodney.
"Ok" said Jennifer. So they got dressed and walked to the infirmary
"Right, here we are, call me if you still don't feel well in a bit, if you don't call me then I will meet you here at lunchtime" said Rodney.
"Ok, will do," said Jennifer as Rodney left heading towards his lab.
Lunchtime came and Rodney still hadn't heard from Jennifer so he went to the Infirmary to meet Jen and they went to lunch
"How are you feeling Jen?" asked Rodney.
"I feel a lot better," replied Jennifer.
"Good" said Rodney smiling.
"If I'm sick again tomorrow morning I want you to take me to the infirmary" said Jennifer.
"Ok will do," replied Rodney as they finished their lunch.
"I have to go back to work, but I'll see in our quarters later" said Jennifer.
"Ok, see you later" said Rodney as he headed off towards his lab.
That night they both arrived in their quarters at virtually the same time, they had some dinner and went to movie night as the movie was Quantum Of Solace, which had arrived on the Daedalus a few days before, after the movie ended they went back to their quarters
"That was a great movie," said Jennifer as they entered their quarters.
"It sure was" said Rodney.
"I'm exhausted, let's go to bed," said Jennifer.
"So am I" said Rodney as they got ready for bed. They got into bed
"Night Rodney" said Jennifer.
"Night Jen" said Rodney as they went to sleep.
The next morning like the morning before Jen woke up suddenly and rushed to the bathroom and vomited, she came out and said
"Rodney, take me to the infirmary".
"Ok lets go," replied Rodney. They made their way to the infirmary where they met Carson
"Rodney, Jennifer, what's the matter?" asked Carson
"Well I vomited yesterday morning, I just assumed it was the flu, but I just vomited again" said Jennifer.
"Ok lass, lie down over there and I'll run some tests" said Carson.
So Rodney took Jennifer to lie down on one of the infirmary beds and then Carson came and said
"Jennifer, I'm going to need a urine sample".
"Ok, I'll be back in a minute," said Jennifer as she made her way to the bathroom.
"What do you think is wrong with her Carson?" asked Rodney.
"I have an idea, but I just need to confirm my hypothesis before I tell you both" replied Carson as Jennifer came back and handed the sample to Carson. Carson went into the next room to run some tests as Jennifer lay back down on the bed. A few minutes later Carson returned
"I know whats wrong with you" he said.
"What is it?" asked Jennifer.
"You're pregnant," replied Carson. Then suddenly Rodney passed out
"Rodney!" shouted Jennifer.
"Rodney!" said Carson tapping Rodney's cheek. A few seconds later Rodney came round
"What happened?" he asked.
"You passed out," replied Jennifer as Rodney got up off the floor and sat down in a chair.
"Sorry Jen, it was just such a shock," said Rodney.
"It's ok Rodney, at least you passed out in the right place," said Jennifer smiling.
"So I'm going to be a father?" asked Rodney.
"Yes you are" replied Jennifer.
"Congratulations you two" said Carson.
"Thank you," they replied as Carson left the room.
"We need to tell Woolsey because the IOA will need to be informed," said Rodney.
"Ok, lets go," replied Jennifer as they started walking out of the infirmary.
They went to Woolsey's Office
"Dr McKay, Dr Keller is there something I can do for you?" asked Woolsey.
"Well Mr Woolsey, I'm pregnant and Rodney is the father, I understand the IOA needs to be informed of pregnancies" replied Jennifer.
"First of all yes they do, I will inform them, and second Congratulations! Take the rest of the day off both of you," said Woolsey.
"Thank you, Mr Woolsey" replied Rodney and Jennifer as they left Woolsey's office.
