Zalenka typed away at the laptop, pushing his glasses further up his nose every few minutes. Out of the corner of his eyes he kept glancing to little ten year old Lily. He had the task of babysitting the child whilst Rodney was on an off world mission and Jennifer was busy with a mountain of paperwork that needed to be done urgently.

She was happily drawing a picture of something and Zalenka was glad he didn't have to entertain the little girl. So he carried on typing away on his laptop, updating his latest readings on a new piece of technology that had been found in the lower parts of the city.

His hand stretched out and picked up his mug of coffee. When it reached his lips, he was surprised to find it empty. "Huh," he murmured as he took the empty mug to the machine and refilled it with a fresh steaming batch.

Ten minutes later, as he was sure it was only half empty the last time he drank it, it was empty again. Shaking his head he put it down and continued on with his work, hoping that there was enough caffeine in his system to help him work for a few hours.

Unfortunately his mind began to slow and the awful temptation for another steaming cup begged at him. So he complied and settled himself down again. Zalenka peered over his glasses at the madly grinning child and furrowed his brows. It wasn't normal, he knew that much, for a girl of her age to be grinning so insanely that it looked close to scary. "Erm, Lily?"

"YeahUncleZalenka?" He dissected it as 'Yeah Uncle Zalenka' despite the speed at which she spoke, her words jumbling together in a mess.

"Are you okay?" Her head moved up and down so fast he thought she was going to break something. "Okay," he whispered underneath his breath.

His fingers worked at typing again and seconds later he reached for his mug, but only swiped at air. It took a few more waving of his hand before he looked at the empty spot of where his mug should be sat. His eyes landed on Lily, the offending mug in hand as she drained it down and placed it back onto the desk. Her brown eyes met his and she looked away sheepishly, bouncing on the spot. "Lily?"

"Yes Uncle Zalenka?" she muttered underneath her breath, head down and hands behind her back. Her words were stretched and he could hear the jittering in her voice.

He ran a hand over his face, trying to think of something to do about this situation. "Have you been drinking my coffee?"

A small nod responded back. A sigh escaped his lips as he pointed to a chair on the other side of the desk, "Sit." She obediently followed his orders and he cast unsure glances to her every so often that soon he passed it off as the caffeine working its way around her body.

Minutes later he heard her trying to move out of her seat, "Stay," he told her without looking up as he finished inputting one last line of information. A banging on the table followed his words and he looked up annoyed at her disturbance.

However, all anger dissipated as he took one look at her. A red rash was crawling up her neck and it looked as though she was having problems breathing. "Oh my," he then cursed in Czech and moved around to the other side of the desk, hand jumping up to his ear piece, "Dr Beckett, medical emergency in my lab."

"On my way," Carson replied and Zalenka did the best that he could to sit the girl up as straight as he could. She was bent over her body, panting, trying to take in oxygen with her chin starting to grow a deep pink.

Seconds later, the Chief Medical Officer hurried in and stopped at the sight, "Oh my word. What did you give her?"

"She drank my coffee." He pointed out, pushing the blame away from himself slightly.

Moments later Lily was scooped up into Carson's arms and he was uttering orders into his earpiece to his nurses.

Rodney came back through the gate and rushed to the infirmary. "Lily!" He shouted out as soon as he breached the door.

"Rodney," Jennifer tutted, quietening him down with a finger to her lips. "She's sleeping."

"What happened?" The panic was evident clearly in his voice, speaking just above a whisper.

Jennifer took his arm and guided him towards their daughters bed, "She had a allergic reaction to coffee."

The physicist looked over his sleeping girl, her face sombre with peace and curled into herself slightly, one arm holding the cover up to her chest and the other tucked away behind her head. "Coffee?" He barely whispered out. It was a minute or two as he proposed reasons why she shouldn't be allergic to the caffeinated substance.

It was another minute before realisation on who was babysitting his daughter sunk in and his tone turned sour slightly at the thought, "Why was Zalenka giving her coffee? When I get my hands on him."
