You return to your office to find the soldier you left there looking rather baffled. "You okay?" you laugh, scooping Megan up. The soldier shook his head.

"I'm never having kids."

"Sorry about that." you laugh, slipping her into her carrier and doing the same to Ben. "I hope they weren't too much trouble."

"I'd prefer to babysit rather than look for a Captain that would kill the poor bloke that found him. I take it you got him back to the med bay?"

"Yep. I'm heading back now. Tell Robinson that he's back will you?" the soldier nods before excusing himself from your office. You smile and count to ten before heading back to the med bay, a skip in your step.

Upon arrival you can hear Abby and Jess' voice in Becker's room. "At least you have next week to do something nice for her!" Jess was laughing.

"Oh, something sweet. You'll think of something!" Abby replies encouragingly to the rumble that is Becker's voice.

"Whatever it is, discuss it in a soundproof room." you say, elbowing the door open. No sooner have you stepped inside Jess has the carriers out of your hand and on the chair by Becker's bed, cooing over the twins. You just know she's going to spoil them. A quick glance reveals that Connor and Matt are perched on the desk either side of Abby and you're surprised to see them.

"They wont let us leave." Connor mumbles at the confusion and surprise etched onto your face. You smile, roll your eyes and perch yourself at the edge of Becker's bed. No sooner have you done so, he's pulled you across his chest, tucking your head under his chin.

"Aw!" Jess coos, glancing up from the twins. "They're like they were when they first started dating!" you laugh, shaking your head knowing there is more truth to those words than she knows. Becker smiled into your head, knowing that you're thinking of an extremely similar event that happened near six years ago.

"So, we're all going to camp here tonight." Connor grins. "Doctor Lewis says that a-okay. You game?"

"'A-okay'? 'You game'? What are you, a teenager?" you laugh as Abby pats Connor's knee affectionately. "But yes. I'm fine with it."

"Brilliant!" Connor grins, bouncing on the spot. "We can pull in an extra two beds from the next room. Oh! And Ben and Megan have to come too!" you'd have expected the last sentence to come from Jess' mouth. Not Connor's.

"You wont be saying that when you hear them screaming at three in the morning." Becker mutters from above you and you elbow him gently, so as not to cause any extra pain.

"At the risk of irritating my husband further," you begin, propping yourself up on your elbows. "what happened to Danny?"

Abby smiles in reply. "Back in hospital with soldiers on every door and outside his window."

By seven thirty you're all, with the exception of Lester, gathered in the private room tha Becker was moved to, sitting on three beds in your pyjamas. Matt and Jess have the middle bed, Connor and Abby the one nearest the door and you and Becker have the one nearest the far wall where there are two travel cots. "I've got pop-corn!" Jess says happily, dancing into the room. Matt follows at a slower rate, thankfully wearing a shirt. (You were informed by Jess that he doesn't normally wear one to bed.) Connor's adorning a pair of Star Wars pyjamas as he enters a moment later with chocolate and drinks. Abby enters last with a carrier bag of DVDs.

"Okay. I've got Lee Evans, Michael McIntyre, Russell Howard, Hitched, What Happened to the Morgans?, Gladiator, Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth in and Hercules!" she drops the bag on the end on the end of Matt and Jess' bed before turning to plug the TV in.

"How are we meant to stay on single beds?" you ask, placing Megan and Ben in their cots before sliding under the covers and curling up into Becker.

"That's going to be part of the fun!" Jess grinned.

"Not for me! Connor hogs the bed!" Abby's voice is slightly muffled by the back of the telly but Connor still shoots her a death glare.

"Isn't he just a hog?" Jess grinned as her and Matt slid into their allocated bed. "I mean, he snores like one."

"Oi!" you feel momentarily sorry for Connor being ganged up on him, but the feeling quickly passes.

"Don't worry Con." you grin. "You can't possibly be as bad as Becker!" Becker huffs above you, slowly working his hands upwards. "Don't you dare tickle me!" you yell, sitting upright so quickly you pull the covers off him.

"Sorry! Now lay back down! You're getting me cold! Becker whines and you roll your eyes, settling down.

"I vote we watch Hercules first." Abby says, re-emerging from the back of the telly. "For the sake of Megan and Ben." Jess nods enthusiastically, running over to the cots. She picks Megan and Ben up, handing Megan to you but keeping a death grip on your son. You're pretty sure she knows that they wont understand the film at all, but she looks too happy to care. You expect Matt to put up a bit of a fuss, but he keeps quiet about it, settling for smiling down at Ben as the little boy takes the Irish-man's finger in his tiny hand. Despite the fact that Megan doesn't understand what's going on in the film, it still doesn't stop her gurgling happily whenever Pegasus is on screen. Ben just seems happy with any fight and he appears to understand what's happening when Hades is punched in the face.

"He's Becker through and through!" Jess laughs, hugging Ben a little tighter. By the end of the film, the twins have crashed which appears to have been Abby's aim.

"Now we can watch something funny!" she grins, launching herself at the comedy DVDs. You have the feeling it's going to be a long night.

Crap, I know. This is just to let you know I'm alive. The next one will be better!
