My Major, My Lizzie-

"Ahh", I hate Saturdays, mainly because there was way too much to do and all I wanted

TO DO was sleep. This thought flitted through my mind as I scrambled out of bed and

began to dress quickly, to start another long day in Atlantis. Thinking on all the briefings

and what nots that I had scheduled, this was my regular going on's, being the expedition

leader, it was my job. Walking to the door, it swooshes into life opening to the grinning

face of John Sheppard. "Major, under ordinary circumstances I would ask what you are

doing at my door, however on further contemplation, nothing is ordinary when it comes

to you!" To accentuate the "You" I poke him in the chest, rather hard I might say,

because he fains hurt and puts his hand over the offensive poked area. "Mornin, Lizzie,"

he whispers the Lizzie part quieter so only I can hear. I frown, this has become a regular

thing with the major and I, the nickname not his presence outside my door. "I am sure

that I have mentioned my dislike of that particular name, John, however, I will settle for

you not saying it around the team, OK?" John smiles mischievously and starts walking

towards the lunch area; obviously ignoring my comment. "John?" I catch up at a slow

trot, walking in silence, with my very cheeky major, wait a sec? My major, huh, got to be

more careful about that.

"So, Elizabeth is going to come on this mission with us, Major?" Rodney Mckay asks,

looking at the displeased expression on Sheppard's face, apparently, he had no such

thoughts, "I don't think so Mckay, no matter what she has told you, Weir is not, no way,

N, O, not coming whi……" however before he could finish his tirade, there stood Dr.

Elizabeth Weir, in traditional BDW's. "Major, Rodney," Sheppard frowns at Elizabeth, I

smile, the only person on this dammed base that he will actually shut up to is Dr. Weir.

"So you still think your coming then?" Says the Major defiantly. I take my cue to leave

and sneak out the door, leaving the Major and Weir to fight it out.

Frowning at the stubborn look on Lizzie's face, I take a stubborn stance myself, and give

her my most stubborn expression. "Major, I don't know why you are being

so……..so……so tough to negotiate with, you need someone to talk to the Tunica

people, diplomatically, I happen to be very good at political issues. It is the perfect

opportunity for me to see you and your team in action, plus for me to get a bit of a

break." Shuffling my feet I avert my eyes from Liz's, staring at that oh so interesting tile.

Finally looking back at Lizzie I say, "Fine, but just so you know, I am in charge out there,

ok?" She nods her consent, then grabs her pack, and smiles at me, "Elizabeth," She turns

frowning at my choice of name, "I want you to take this," I hand her my side-arm,

noticing the frown that crosses her face and the instant respond that she is about to make I

cut her off, by covering her mouth with my calloused hand, "I am in command,

remember?" Removing my hand I put the side arm in the holster on the side of her pant

leg, smiling to myself as I turn my back on her, silence! A rarity when it came to my

Lizzie.

-ok, so i had to edit a bit, thanks all for the corect spelling of Mckay, it is greatly appreciated.
