Elizabeth and Rodney lay sleeping when a pounce woke them. Rodney shot up like a missile and Elizabeth just opened her eyes. The found their oldest, Zoya giggling, it was her fifth birthday.

Zoya: It's my birthday, get up mommy. Daddy got up funny, like a drone.

Lib: Alright birthday girl, go get dressed.

Before anyone could do anything, the door opened and three children came in. Four year old twins, Rodney Kaes and Rodlee Kyas McKay along with two year old Janus Caleb McKay, all jumped on the bed. Rodlee or Lee as she was called was the science kid and Rodney's favorite. She went to him while the other two went to Elizabeth. Soon the bed was a giggling fit. Rodney and Elizabeth were tickling them and winning. Rodney or Kae as he was called, Lee's twin, attacked his mother.

Kae: Mommy's going down

The baby monitor by the bed started going off and Elizabeth slipped away after struggling to get her four year old son off of her. Coming back minutes later with four month old Tria Cathleen McKay, she was named after the Ancient ship, which name meant "Blessed Gift". Rodney was being tackled by his four oldest children and loosing.

Zoya: We win, Daddy looses

Lee: Because our weight and force was too overbearing, it was impossible to win.

Lib: Alright, go to the mess hall after getting dressed, Janus you have to go with us. Zoya, Lee, Kae, go now.

The three oldest shot for their rooms and Janus went to the living room. Rodney lay across looking at her. Elizabeth sat on the bed, still holding Tria

Rodney: You know, Lee was right! Her physics is getting better.

Lib: And her comprehension as a four year old of the subject is what scares me, by ten she'll be flying jumpers and fixing the Ancient chair and other technology.

Rodney: Come here Tria, you knew the risks of having children with extensive understanding of anything when you married me.

Lib: Well at least Zoya has my diplomatic understanding. The other day she was forming a treaty between John and Major Lorne's children when they were fighting.

Rodney: And she's five, what the heck is she doing being a diplomat at five?

Lib: You knew the risks

He smiled and looked at the four month old on his chest. Tria smiled at him and he just smiled in general.

Lib: What are you smiling at?

Rodney: I'm smiling at my life; I have a beautiful wife who I love beyond comprehension, five wonderful children with either diplomatic or scientific skills and a home I'd give nothing for…

He was interrupted by an alarm and Elizabeth smiled at him

Intercom: Dr. Rodney McKay to the Control Room

Rodney: and I have that too.

They started laughing and he got up, to save Atlantis once again. Elizabeth looked at Tria and smiled.

Lib: Yeah, Daddy has to save Atlantis once again
