Rodney was explaining to Detective John Sheppard how he never thought people wanted to know the truth about aliens and space travel when Jennifer approached the pair.
"Jennifer." He acknowledged his wife.
"Rodney." She smiled as she passed him, completely ignoring the cop.
Rodney gazed after her, taking note of her shapely body hidden in the casual clothing she wore on the base. Once she'd gone he turned back to Sheppard, who was doing the same thing. "Hey!"
"What? Haven't I seen her…"
"Yes, she's a physician and…" Rodney paused, "she's my wife. So don't think about her ever again." His eyes narrowed as he delivered the threat.
"Your wife?" Sheppared looked shocked. "Really?"
Rodney refused to respond.
"You lucky bastard," John said, shaking his head.
Rodney chuckled as he remembered the exchange last year. Standing up, he heard his knees creak a bit. Resting his hand reverently on the stone that was warmed by the hot desert winds, he finally responded, "Yes, I am. Thanks to you."
The physicist's eyes passed over the rows of stones, each with a tiny American flags fluttering in the breeze, signifying that this was a military cemetery, to the woman pacing outside their car.
Jennifer had a small screaming bundle in her arms that would only stop crying if Mommy walked back and forth with a swaying motion. Even after having a baby recently, Rodney couldn't help but be turned on by his wife.
Walking back to their car so he could get them out of the Vegas heat, he reached for his son.
"I can't believe it's been a year," Jennifer said, handing the baby over to his daddy.
"Me either," Rodney said with a big grin when the boy stopped crying.
"Well, shall we introduce him?" Jennifer asked, looking back at John Sheppard's grave.
Rodney smiled and the happy family walked back to stand before the white granite memorial to the man who saved Earth single-handedly from a Wraith invasion. "John Sheppard, I'd like you to meet John Robert McKay."
A/N: In some 'verse Rodney's gotta name his son after John. I figured this was the best bet. I hope you liked it.
