Chapter 4

"Sweetheart," Scott said gently shaking Alex a little.

"What?" She replied a little groggy, "What happened?"

"You fell asleep," Scott said laughing a little and propping her up, "That concussion hasn't completely dissipated."

"I guess," Alex said rubbing her eyes and resting her head up against Scott's shoulder, "Hey, what time is it?"

Scott looking down at his watch, "Quarter past seven, why?"

"Cam wanted us at his place, at seven!" Alex said worried that their commanding officer would think they bailed on him.

"Oh," Scott said sighing, "I completely forgot about it, I would have woken you if I would have known."

"It's ok, we'll just head over there now," Alex said as she stood up from the couch and her husband was behind her.

"OK, I'll drive," Scott said grabbing his keys from the rack, while his wife grabbed her coat.

They both walked out to hid car and he drove over to Cam's house. When they arrived Cam was happy they both showed up.

"Hey, Sunshine," Cam said as he wrapped his arms around Alex, they had always had a special connection, even before they were both on SG-1. He had taken her under his wing during flight school; he was even the one that gave her, her call sign, Shrimp. Since then he had moved onto Sunshine.

"Hey, Cam," Alex said pulling away from the hug, "Sorry were late, I feel asleep."

"It's ok," Cam said patting his best friend on the shoulder. "Come on, Teal'c picked on Star Wars for the movie tonight, it just started."

The three of them walked into the living room, where Teal'c, Sam, and Daniel were waiting.

Alex sat down on the couch next to Daniel, and Scott sat down next to her. Daniel turned toward his sister and kissed her on the cheek. He put his arm around her shoulders and she leaned up against his body.

"Hey, I am glad you could make it." Daniel said as he pushed a piece of her hair out of her face and behind her ear.

"Me too," She replied as she snuggled into her brother's arm.

Scott had known even before he married Alex, that her and her brother were very close. This was not an unusual sight to see Alex resting comfortably on Daniel. Scott had gotten used to it and knew there was nothing wrong with it. Although, when she did this with Cameron, he did not feel so assured. He knew Cameron was a good man and was very close to his wife, he also knew that on many occasions he had risked his life to save hers. Scott got a little on edge when she cuddled up with the colonel, but he never voiced his opinion, because he had faith in his wife.

Halfway through the movie Daniel could feel all of the muscles in his sister's body relax; when he looked down he saw that she had fallen asleep on him, literally. This was another thing the team was accustomed to seeing, she fell asleep fairly easily and when she had a tough week at work, she usually zonked out on them. Daniel let her rest until the movie was over. At this time Cameron came over and shook her gently.

"Wake up, Sunshine," Cameron said, he felt Alex grab his hand.

"Cam," Alex said sleepily as Daniel helped her sit up.

"You fell asleep again," Cam said as he rested his hand on her shoulder.

"Scott?" Alex asked as she looked around the room not seeing her husband.

"He's in the bathroom right now; he'll be out in a minute." Daniel said as he felt her body collapse into his arms.

"Alex," Daniel said laughing a little at how tired his little sister was, "You have to go home now."

Scott entered the room and took his wife into his arms, he felt her arms wrap around him and grab onto the back of his shirt.

"See ya, Teal'c, Sam," Alex said as she saw them leaving out of the corner of her eye.

"Bye," Sam said, "See you bright and early tomorrow morning."

Teal'c simply nodded and walked out of the house.

"Here," Cam said as he sat behind Alex propping her up, "Let me take Sunshine out to the car,"

"Ok," Scott answered reluctantly. He grabbed his keys and his wife's coat and he headed out to the car.

By this time Alex had fallen asleep in Cameron's arms and he carried her out to Scott's car and gently placed her in the passenger seat and buckled her seat belt.

"See ya, Scott," Cameron said walking around the front of the car waving to his teammate.

"Bright and early," Scott said chuckling, seeing Cam smile.

Scott drove home in silence, letting Alex sleep. When they got home, he shut off the engine and got out of the car walking over to the passenger side. He opened Alex's door and unbuckled her seat belt. He carried her into the house and laid her down on the bed. He went back into the main room; he hung up his keys and his coat, and Alex's.

When he walked back into the bed room, Alex had crawled under the covers and changed into her tank-top and pajama bottoms. Scott walked over to the bed and bent down and kissed his wife.

"You need to hurry up and get your butt in here," Alex said as Scott finished kissing her.

"Don't worry, I will," Scott said and stood up, "Just give me a second."

"Don't take long," Alex said and rolled over onto her stomach.

Scott striped down also, he left his boxer shorts on, and then climbed into bed with his wife.

"That's better," Alex said as Scott wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.

"Much," Scott agreed.

They both fell asleep and slept soundly until their alarm woke them up at 0430 so they could go to work.
