"Carson what's the stauts report on my team?"
"Well Elizabeth I can tell you that they were very lucky this time, there were only a few major injuries, nothing that a week or so in bed won't fix. John has a dislocated shoulder and a few broken ribs, Ronon has a concussion and a broken nose and Teyla has a badly sprained ankle and a broken finger."
"What about Rodney?"
"Aye Rodney, he has a concussion and a few cuts. He's the only one on the team that didn't recieve any broken bones. I don't know what exactly happened on the mission but I do know that it could have been a lot worse."
"Are they released or do they need to stay in the infirmary any longer?"
"I released them a few minutes ago."
"Thanks Carson."
Elizabeth walked to the mess hall expecting to see the team eating or at least talking, but they weren't there. She went to the control room and had Chuck use the life signs indicator to see where they were. Telya and Ronon were in their rooms, looked like they were sleeping or at least resting. Rodney was in John's room and it looked like he was pacing while John was on the bed.

"Rondey would you sit down all your pacing is making me dizzy."
"Well sorry Colonel, but I thought that my latest predictament was more important then your equilibrium."
"What latest predictament Rodney?"
"The fact that I broke three of my boyfriends ribs."
Rodney sighed and sat down on the bed next to John, he put his head in his hands and sighed again. John took his good arm and put it on Rodney's shoulder.
"Rodney you did not break my ribs, it was my own fault."
"How was it your fault John, I'm the one that couldn't keep my hands off you, it's my fault that I couldn't tell that the planet we were on hated gays, it's my fault that Teyla and Ronon were there to stick up for us. And how did they find out about us anyway, I mean I thought that we were good at hiding this thing. Anyway, it's my fault that I was to pathetic to attack. It's my fault and you all hate me now and you want to break up with me and Teyla and Ronon want me off the team and Elizabeth is going to send me back to Earth the next time the Deadlus comes. And then I'm going to get kicked out of-"
"Rodney breathe. I don't hate you and were not going to break up, Ronon and Teyla know because I told them. Elizabeth isn't going to kick you off Atlantis. It's going to be fine. We're all going to heal and then we will go on another mission where we will get our ass's kicked again."
John grabbed Rodney's chin and forced him to look into John's eyes.
"I love you Rodney McKay, nothing is going to change that. Now will you hand me my painkillers. After that we are going to go to bed and sleep. OK?"
"Yeah OK, I love you to."
"I know."
They settled onto the bed and were both fast asleep in seconds. Back in the control room Elizabeth turned off the speaker and laughed. Why Rodney thought that she was going to kick him off Atlantis she didn't know. She was just glad that John could get him to breathe.
