In this together
Note: this is my first SGU fanfic….i love TJ and Young was so shocked when we found out TJ was pregnant, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out in the show. Please enjoy and review!
Chapter 1:
TJ was sitting alone in the sick bay, wiping away the small tears which were running down her face. She placed one hand on her stomach. She could feel a tiny bump but was thankful that her black uniform concealed it- for now. She had had the perfect opportunity to get off this god forsaken ship. The planet they had found had been the perfect place where she could raise a baby. It had trees, sunshine, fresh water and plenty of fresh food. But of course Colonel Young had to put a stop to her dreams.
TJ was upset and angry at Young for making her feel guilty and making her come back. Destiny wasn't a place to raise a baby, with its failing systems and the fact that they didn't have many supplies, made it basically worst place imaginable to have a child. But deep down inside, TJ knew that Young had had a point. The people back on board Destiny who didn't have the chance to be on the planet needed her. She was the only qualified medic onboard this hellhole and she had a duty to them.
TJ looked down at her stomach and smiled sadly, thinking about how this baby inside her was created. She and Young had had an affair back on the Icarus Base. He had a failing marriage and she was just vulnerable and alone and being together made them both feel better. She really loved Everett and she knew that he loved her back. She only found out she was pregnant onboard Destiny when she was late. Before long, the morning sickness kicked in and confirmed her suspicions. Now she was 15 weeks pregnant to her CO, the only medic on a billion-year-old Ancient ship and on the edge of the Universe- talk about stressful.
…………………..
TJ slowly stood up left the sick bay, slowly making her way to her quarters. As she turned a corner, she came face to face with Lieutenant Matthew Scott.
"Hey TJ, how are you?" he asked her with a warm, concern smile. Matt knew all about TJ "situation" and was just as emotional about having to come back onboard Destiny and leaving the idyllic planet behind them.
TJ returned the smile "yeah I'm ok" she replied softly, looking down at her hands.
Matt could sense TJ sadness and tried to catch her gaze. "Are you gonna tell him" he asked gently.
TJ looked up and met Matt's eyes with tears starting to form in her own. He was referring to the baby. Colonel Young was the father of her child and she knew she had to tell him at some stage- it would be unfair to keep something this important and life-changing from him, and he would find out eventually, it was TJ's decision about when that would be- now or when she was the size of a house.
"Yeah" TJ replied, wiping her eyes "I'm just waiting for the right time" she added, sniffling.
Matt gave her a sympathetic smile placed one hand on TJ's arm. "Yeah, but TJ, you need to tell him soon, it's better not to leave these kind of things for too long" he told her.
TJ gave her friend an appreciative smile and nodded in agreement. "Yeah I know. I'll tell him soon- promise".
"Ok, well I've got to go, if you need anything, you know where I am"
TJ gave him another nod before continuing on to her quarters. She walked in and closed the door behind her. Sitting down on her bed, she sighed deeply and rubbed her face with her hands. She took of her jacket and lay down on the uncomfortable Ancient bed and closed her eyes, welcoming sleep.
