John ran into the infirmary with Caldwell following behind carrying Todd. Caldwell carefully laid Todd down on a bed as John looked for the doctor they had seen earlier. See her he ran up to her as she turned around.
"John, there you are. You and Todd shouldn't run off…." Keller started saying as John interrupted.
"Todd's hurt…he hit his head and now his sleeping or something," John started saying really fast. "I hadn't meant for him to get hurt when I had pushed him. It was an accident."
"John, calm down and take to Todd," Keller said calmly. John nodded his head and lead to the way to Todd. Caldwell was standing by the bed calmly and gave Keller a questioning look. "I'll explain later about them," she said quietly as she started examining Todd's head.
John stood by Caldwell with a worried, scared look on his face. He looked up at Todd hoping that he would be alright. He didn't want to lose his brother also.
"Well it doesn't look too serious," Keller said when she was done. "He should be okay, but he will have a headache along with a good size bump."
"So he will be okay?" John asked.
"Yes he will be okay. He should be waking up soon," Keller said as she looked at John. "Why did you two wonder off?"
"We were going to look food and the other grown ups were busy talking," John said quietly as he looked down.
"You could have asked someone to get something to eat."
"Our mom told us to never bother grown ups when their talking. We thought we could find the food okay by ourselves," John said not looking up.
"You don't have to do that here," Caldwell said. "I'll get you and Todd something to eat after he wakes up. Okay?"
"Okay," John said sounding happier.
With a smile Keller walked off as Caldwell sat down in a chair next to the bed. John pulled himself up onto the bed so that he was sitting next to Todd with his legs hanging off the side facing Caldwell.
After a few minutes of silence Caldwell asked, "So how did you two get here?"
"We were brought here by these people called Teyla, Mickay, and Roneen," John said. "We were left on the planet on accident. Our parents had landed to fix the hive. Me and Todd ran into the forest to play when the hive had suddenly left," John said quietly.
"How did you end up on the hive ship?" Caldwell asked curious.
"Todd's parents took me in last year," John said sadly.
"Why? I didn't think Wraith would care about a human child," Caldwell said without thinking.
"That's not true! They care when the kid's parents are their allies! They aren't bad!" John yelled angrily at Caldwell.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound mean," he said before asking, "Wraith have human allies?"
"Yeah they do," John said before adding, "my parents were good friends with Todd's parents."
"What happened to your parents then?" Caldwell asked.
"They…," John started to say, but paused as if thinking about. Finally he said quickly, "They were killed because of they were friends with the Wraith."
"Oh….I'm sorry," Caldwell said as tears started falling from John's eyes. Caldwell stood up hugged John as he cried into Caldwell's chest.
"Now it's just me and Todd now," John said between crying.
"What do you mean?" Caldwell asked.
"I lied about what happened," John said. "I don't Todd because he didn't see it, but…..the hive was destroyed. It had left because another ship had came and started firing at them," John said sobbing.
"Hey hey it's gonna be okay," Caldwell said soothingly as he rubbed John's back. After a few moments all the excitement of the day and crying got to John as he fell asleep. Caldwell laid him down on the bed by Todd before sitting back down in the chair.
"You would make a good dad," Keller said surprised as she came up to Caldwell.
"You saw all that?" he asked unsure.
"My office is right over there," she said pointing behind her. "It has a really good view of the infirmary."
"Oh," Caldwell said quietly. "What is going on?"
"Well from I understand Todd called Sheppard and his team to a planet because he found something. They went to investigate, Sheppared activated a shield when him and Todd stepped on a platform. Ronen touched a button on a console that caused Sheppard and Todd to be turned back into kids," Keller explained.
"Never boring here," Caldwell muttered. "Who is going to take care of them then?"
"Don't know yet. Sheppard's team can't for different reasons," she said thinking. "How about you take care of them? I'm sure your boyfriend won't mind."
"I could..wait…what?" Caldwell said realizing what Keller said. "How do you know?"
"Everyone here knows about you two. No one care either because half of Atlantis is dating each other," she explained. "In fact Sheppared had recently started dating Lorne."
"Okay…..," Caldwell said unsure of what to say.
"He should be here soon so you ask him," Keller said. "I called him after I was done examining Todd," she explained as she walked back to her office.
Caldwell sat there quietly and watched the kids sleep. He had always wanted kids, but couldn't have any because of his job. Yet this was a chance for him to have kids even if it was temporary. He would have to stay there for awhile to take over Sheppard's job. Now if only his lover would agree to it. Suddenly someone tapped Caldwell on his shoulder causing him to look up as the person he was just thinking of.
"I see you found them."
"Yeah I did," Caldwell said leaning back to look up at his lover better. "I heard your looking for someone to take them in. I was wondering if we could take them care, Richard?"
Woolsey looked uncertain and said, "Are you sure
"I see you found them."
"Yeah I did," Caldwell said leaning back to look up at his lover better. "I heard your looking for someone to take them in. I was wondering if we could take them care, Richard?"
Woolsey looked uncertain and asked, "Are you sure you want to do that?"
"You know how much I've wanted kids and they need someone to watch over them," Caldwell said.
"I'll have to think about it, Steven," Woolsey said looking at the kids.
