was doing much better now he was awake and fully alert he was lay on his side talking to Elizabeth. She had woke up 3 hours after Dr Jenkins had sedated her she was a lot calmer and responding better to the treatment.

Looking at John and Elizabeth they were both in a sorry state they were covered in cuts and bruises thankfully the surface injuries were all superficial Elizabeth had her arm set in a cast and was wearing a sling she had a massive bandage around her waist covering the wounds. John had a massive bandage wrapped round his head all you could see his spiky black hair sticking out of the top. John also had his arm in a sling from the gun shot, Elizabeth tried to sit up so she could see John better but the pain in her side from the shrapnel injury was too much. She turned and looked at John.
"So I hear were gonna be laid up in here for a while."John smiled at her.
"Yay, good thing we didn't have any plans for the next 1000 years." They were both interrupted from their conversation by the sound of McKay followed by Ronon telling him to shut up. Apparently the medics had allowed them to have visitors now they doing better.
"About time you two were awake" Rodney smiled between eating his chocolate bar."Yeah sorry Rodney, for being selfish in getting blown up and shot at" Elizabeth laughed which caused the pain in her side to come back worse. Ronon saw her grab her side "do you want me to get the doc."
"No thanks Ronon I'll be ok." Rodney and Ronon told them how the alliance had fell through, the Maniakals wouldn't have anything more to do with them because they wouldn't commit troops to fight their war.
Dr Jenkins walked back into the infirmary he looked at the clock the visitors had been in 10 minutes longer than they were allowed."Ok you two times up, these two need to get some rest.""Doc can we drop by tomorrow?"
"Yeah sure Ronon" Ronon nodded at John and Elizabeth and headed off.
Rodney went over to Elizabeth's bed he was just about to give Elizabeth her PDA he had managed to smuggle it in there with him.Dr Jenkins saw what he was doing
"nice try McKay, go on get outta here."
"ok, ok you caught me" Rodney said whilst he put his hands in the air, he smiled at them all then jogged off to catch up with Ronon.

It was dinner time not long after Ronon and McKay left john wolfed down his medium rare steak and steak house chips it looked like the man had never eaten a decent meal before.
They had just had a new ration delivery back from earth. The Daedalus was due back in a few days with more stuff aboard. Elizabeth took one look at her meal and pushed the tray aside.
"You know, you're gonna have to eat something eventually." John managed a sentence in between shovelling down his Bakewell tart.
"I know I'm just not up to it yet." A nurse came to get their trays once they had eaten. She saw Johns tray was polished clean where as Elizabeth's meal hadn't even been touched."Did you enjoy your meal colonel?"
The colonel smiled "yes thanks Amy, any chance I could get some more?"
Amy laughed "I'm glad you have your appetite back colonel, I will see what I can do."Amy walked over to Elizabeth's bed.
"Dr Weir you are going to have to eat something, the day staff said you didn't eat your lunch either."
Elizabeth grabbed her side as she sat up to talk to her."I'm just not hungry." The nurse moved to grab Elizabeth's chart she started reading through it.
"Is your side still hurting you?"

Elizabeth was going to try and lie but she saw no point this time "yeah it's pretty bad at the moment."Amy nodded
"ok do you mind if I take a quick look at it? Then I will get you something for the pain."
She pulled the curtain round Elizabeth's bed. Elizabeth lifted her scrubs top just above the bandage Amy noticed that some of the stitches had popped and the wound had started bleeding again, she pushed gently around the wound stopping to apologise when Elizabeth tensed up.
"I'm going to have to re-stitch this wound ok?"

Elizabeth nodded at her; Amy stepped out to get some supplies. John was peering round the side of the curtain."Hey Elizabeth are you alright?" "Yeah John it's just some popped stitches I'll be ok."
Amy stitched and re-dressed Elizabeth's wound in no time she gave her some painkillers, she told Elizabeth to try and eat something and that she would be back later to check on her.

John and Elizabeth sat and talked about the events that took place over the last few days. John turned to her "Carson said he would let me out of here tomorrow."
"Good at least one of has made parole" she joked
"so what about you, are you getting out on good behaviour?"
"No such look here" she smiled "I've got at least another week of lockdown."John and Elizabeth continued talking into the evening Elizabeth even managed to eat some of a sandwich the staff had left for her.

Just talking had tired them out by the time the night shift had signed on their patients were already sound a sleep, it was a shame they would have to be woken up to have their obs done.
