a/n: I know I have a wip out already, but I have been mulling over this idea for about two and a half weeks now and I really wanted to post it. Hey, I'll try and stick to my 'update at least once a week rule.' Although I think this one might be easier for me to update faster, plus I already have part of it written out. Oh and I totally had a different name for the story, but I got this random Brittany Spear song stuck in my head yesterday morning and I changed to title because it just made me laugh more. (Originally called 'Little Teapots have Big Ears')
Atlantis Infirmary:
Dr. Elizabeth Weir was sitting on the edge of an infirmary bed waiting patiently, but her patience was starting to wear a little bit thin. This was supposed to be her routine physical; however Dr. Beckett was taking forever for some reason. He must realize that she had a plethora of other things she could be doing at the moment instead of chilling out in the infirmary waiting for test results that would only prove that she was fine. Why couldn't she leave and he could tell her over the comm. later? She was seriously considering pulling a leaf out of Sheppard's book and attempting to sneak out when she heard the soft footfalls of the good doctor returning.
She immediately noticed something was up by the way that he was walking slowly and not smiling. What could possibly be wrong though? She hadn't gone off world in about a month and nothing serious had happened to her on the city, so she was at a loss for what could even remotely be a problem.
Carson came over and sat down next to her on the bed. "Love," he began slowly, "First of all you are fine, and all of your test results are great."
Ok, this was odd, what was he keeping from her. She wasn't stupid; if everything was fine he wouldn't have taken so long and wouldn't be dancing around the subject now. She knew enough of people to see when they were holding something back.
"Carson, what aren't you telling me?" She asked giving him the 'no nonsense' look. This had worked many times before in negotiations, and she was sure it wouldn't fail her now.
He looked very uncomfortable now, "Elizabeth, I don't know how to say this, but you are pregnant." Carson looked at her now with a searching look.
Whoa, this news was not what she was expecting to hear from him. She sank down into the mattress of the bed, going into a total slouch mode. Ok, she thought to herself, they had finally taken their relationship to the next level about three weeks ago. Damn, that was quick. Crap, how was he going to take it? Neither of them had planned on kids yet. I mean come on; they were both very prominent figures of this expedition. Hell, she was in charge of him and everyone else on this base. This wasn't supposed to happen. They had kept their relationship as under wraps as possible, but this would definitely bring it out into the open, especially nine months from now. Aw crud they really didn't need more complications and distractions.
Carson had been watching Elizabeth very carefully as she let the news sink in. She seemed to accept it, but he still had to ask since it didn't appear that she was in a relationship that serious, but still. "Now, you did have some part in this? There isn't some funky alien thing that made this happen right love?"
Elizabeth had to laugh at that, "Um, yeah, nope I did have a part in this, but thanks Carson."
Wow, he was so kind to her. This did confirm her doubts; they had done a good job of keeping it all secret. Well, up till now of course.
Dr. Beckett was not done yet, "Well, then I am going to need to know who the father is and all of us are going to need to have a serious talk since this is going to pose several issues. Tests are also going to need to be run, and..".
She put up her hand to stop him. "Yes, Carson," Elizabeth said, "We can do all of that, however I will need to talk to the baby's father. I am not quite sure how he is going to react to this; neither of us were planning on anything happening quite so fast. Can you not speak a word of this to anyone until we both come back for a chat?"
"Of course love, just make sure the two of you are in to see me by the end of the week," he replied. "And Elizabeth, congrats!"
With that she gracefully hoped off the bed and left the infirmary. As Carson watched her go he could not help but wonder who the father was. He had a pretty good idea, but wasn't completely sure. There seemed to be several relationships blossoming under the radar, but this was going to be the first child to be born on the city since their arrival. However, he couldn't stop the fear of what was going to happen to Dr. Weir and her partner in crime in the way of punishment. After all, this was sort of frowned upon. But then again, the SGC had to admit that this was a city and its inhabitants were removed from normal down time and family life, so why shouldn't they be able to create their own? Oh well, he sighed, a baby was a cause for celebration no matter what, and nothing could ruin that. Hey, maybe more might follow now that Dr. Weir had broken the ice; she was the head of the city after all.

Atlantis: Dr. Weir's Office
Elizabeth paced nervously in her office. What was she going to say? How would she tell him that 'oops she was pregnant and he was the dad'? She knew he loved her and she him, but she had always thought that she would be married before something like this would happen? Well, no matter what, she would take care of the baby. It would be loved; he would have to love it. Worse case she could always make it an order. That got a silent laugh out of her at the stupidity of that thought.
But he was just so much immature himself at times, how would he take this news? She sighed; she still had a couple of hours to plan her next move since he was off world currently on a mission. She sat back down at her desk and tried to read the mission reports that she knew she should be reading, but her thoughts kept going back to the child that was growing inside of her. Her child, their child.
a/n: Hee hee. I really like this one. I knew there are tons of fics out their about the expedition members having kids and all, but I wanted to try my hand at it. Man, I jut sort of realized that all my fics tend to start out from Elizabeth's pov. That's kinda weird, oh well! Million dollar ? So who is the father? Hee hee hee! Tune in next time to find out!
