A/N: After a couple of requests for a follow up I've written a short addition...
"Did Ronon and Rodney seem a little more grouchy than normal?" John asked having watched his team mates leave the dinner table.
"And you say you aren't perceptive when it comes to emotions." Teyla replied.
"What happened? Did Ronon break McKay's new toy?"
"No."
"Are they still fighting over the doc?" John guessed.
"Not exactly."
"What does that mean?" John asked.
"You could ask them." Teyla pointed out.
"I could, but it's easier to ask you."
"They figured out who the guy was." Teyla said.
"What guy? The doc's guy? Wait, there really is a guy?" John questioned.
"Does that surprise you?"
"Kind of. I mean it's the doc. When she isn't getting into trouble off world she's working. I just thought she wouldn't have time to date. So who is this guy? Should I be laying down some ground rules?"
"Ground rules?" Teyla asked.
"Yeah, you know letting him know what will happen if he hurts the doc." John said. "Obviously I couldn't do that, woolsey would object, but Lorne could."
"I don't think that will be necessary." Teyla said amused.
"So he's a good guy?"
"He is."
"Are you sure?" John pressed.
"I am."
"Good."
"So who is it? And why does everyone know but me?"
"Because you can be very unobservant." Teyla said. "It was obvious to everyone who saw them last night."
"I saw the doc last night. She was with Lorne." John said confused.
"Yes."
"They were talking and joking." John said recalling the evening not sure what he was missing.
"Did they seem friendly to you?"
"Well yeah, but they are friends." John said.
"You didn't think they were more friendly than friends?" Teyla asked.
"No. Wait are you saying Lorne and the doc are dating? Lorne's the guy?"
"Yes."
"And Ronon and Rodney were acting like that because they know?"
"I believe so."
"Does Lorne know they know?"
"I don't know."
"Someone should warn him." John said.

"Good morning." Rodney greeted as he sat down at the table the next morning.
"I'm sorry did you just say 'good morning'?" John asked.
"Yes."
"Why?" John asked suspiciously.
"It is a customary greeting." Rodney said as he ate a spoonful of he cereal.
"Not for you." John said. "You normally don't bother with such niceties and jump straight to complaining about your colleagues."
"Would you prefer me to complain?"
"No. It is just a little weird for you to be this happy in the morning."
"Well I had a good night."
"Please tell me you didn't do something to prolong the senior staff meeting?"
"Of course I didn't. I have to attend it too." Rodney said.
"So what exactly has got you in a good mood? Or do I not want to know?"
"I just had a productive night." Rodney smiled.
"Okay then. Well I have work to do. I'll see you later." John said.
-00-
"Problem Sir?" Lorne asked when he noticed John was staring at him.
"You're not humming."
"You said it was annoying." Lorne reminded him.
"But more comforting than scowling as it turns out." John said.
"Sorry Sir."
"Girl trouble?" John asked, not so subtlety.
"No Sir."
"You sure?"
"I'm sure. I'm just having a bad day."
"I know this isn't my place but I kinda like you as my second in command and if certain members of my team are causing you problems I need to know."
"Sir?" Lorne asked confused.
Before John could say anything else he was summoned to the Gateroom.
-00-
"You okay?" Jennifer asked when she saw Evan.
"Yeah, sorry. Just one of those days."
"The Colonel making you do his paperwork?" Jennifer asked.
"Yeah, but it's not that. Although he was acting weird."
"Weird how?"
"It doesn't matter."
"So if it is not the Colonel, what's wrong?" Jennifer asked.
"My quarters have become possessed." Evan said.
"Possessed?" Jennifer asked.
"Yeah, last night they became a sauna and the controls wouldn't respond. Then this morning my alarm failed. When I did wake up my quarters had decided to turn into a freezer. Then my shower decided to oscillate between spewing out scolding and ice water. Plus my lights no longer work."
"Well my quarters haven't become possessed so you are more than welcome to stay there." Jennifer smiled shyly.
"Yeah?" He asked sounding hopeful but trying not to sound like he was pressing her.
"Yes." She replied going up on tiptoes and kissing him.
-00-
"From that smirk I assume your day is going better." John commented.
"Yes Sir." Lorne smiled.
"Were you a having a bad day?" Rodney asked.
"Yeah, my room became possessed and all the controls broke."
"Sounds bad." Rodney said without a trace of sympathy.
"It was, but it led to something fantastic so it's all good." Evan grinned.
"What was this fantastic thing?" Teyla asked.
"Jen asked me to move in with her, temporarily. What could be better than waking up next to her each morning? Anyway I'll catch you later." He smiled walking off.
"What did you do?" Teyla asked turning to Rodney.
"Do when?" Rodney asked.
"To Major Lorne's quarters."
"Nothing."
"Rodney?" John pressed.
"Fine I may have tinkered with his controls a little." Rodney said.
"A little?"
"Okay a lot."
"Did it make you feel better?" John asked.
"Yes. Until just now. Some people have all the luck." Rodney complained.
"May that be a lesson to you." Teyla said.
"And Rodney if I hear that Lorne has any more issues or the doc has any problems you are going to join the new biologists on their survival training." John warned.
