LAST CHAPTER! *sobs* It's a pity, I really enjoyed writing this! It was like one of my best stories (despite it being rather amateurish!)

Anyway, I hope you liked it and please, please, please review!


Chapter 29:

John groaned at the bright light. It was too bright for him!

"John?"

He recognised that voice...but who was it?

"John? Was that you? Are you waking?"

Who was it? Who was it? Who was it!?

"John?"

"Alex?" asked John, opening his eyes. The first sight he saw was Alex's head basically on top of his. "Alex!"

"JOHN!"

Alex smiled then took her head away. John turned his head and saw that she was standing on a chair.

"Carson!" she was yelling, "he's awake! He woke up!"

"What's going on?"

"You just woke up!"

"Yeah, I got that,"

Alex smiled then got down off the chair as Carson came rushing in.

"Well, it's about time Colonel! You've been out for days!" said Carson.

"Days? What happened?"

"You were attacked, and pretty badly hurt as well, but you're pretty much all healed now,"

"Pretty much?"

"Your arm will take longer,"

"My arm?"

"You broke it,"

"MY ARM IS BROKEN!"

"Yes Colonel, and you might want to lower your voice, Alex is quite sensitive to loud noises at the moment,"

"Oh, sorry Alex...hang on, why are you here Alex?"

"I got hurt," stated Alex smiling, "real bad too, I nearly died!"

"You sound excited about it,"

"Aha, I got to hear Mummy!"

"I see,"

"I'm gonna go get Elizabeth,"

"Alex! You can't leave the infirmary!"

"By radio?"

"Okay,"

John smiled as Alex bounded off then he frowned.

"She nearly died!" he growled.

"It wasn't our fault Colonel! Her brain just seemed to not want to help her body!"

"She nearly died!"

"Colonel, she's fine,"

"She nearly died!"

"Yes Colonel, she nearly died,"

"How close to death was she?"

"Not that far,"

"Doc..."

"She was in cardiac arrest,"

"She WHAT!"

"I'm sorry Colonel, but she came through!"

"She came that close to death! Then why is she so cheerful,"

"She doesn't see anything wrong with it,"

"Okay, and she's extra cheerful because?"

"She beat Rodney 19 times a chess, she would've beat him a 20th time but she got bored so she lost on purpose,"

"19 times..."

"Aye, it was quite amusing actually,"

"Wish I saw it,"

"I called her Carson!" said Alex skipping back into the room, "she said she's coming down here straight away!"

"Thank you Alex, now Colonel, you have to stay awake until Elizabeth arrives,"

"I will if Alex is here," replied John, smiling at Alex.

"I'll be leaving then, have fun,"

oOo

Elizabeth smiled as she saw the two boys playing in the corridors, true it wasn't the best place to play, but today she didn't mind.

She was on her way to see John in the infirmary; according to Alex he was very awake.

It didn't take her long to get to the infirmary and as soon as she was inside she saw Alex on John's bed playing with him.

She walked past them and went into Carson's office where she found him doing some paperwork.

"I thought that you would be with Colonel Sheppard," said Elizabeth smiling.

"Well I thought that I should leave those two alone for now," he replied, lifting his head from the paperwork, "Alex has been dying to have the Colonel back,"

"I see, well, I think I might interrupt for a while,"

"Go ahead,"

Elizabeth smiled again before walking towards John's bed.

"Hello Alex," she said smiling at the child.

"Hello! John's awake!" replied Alex smiling at Elizabeth.

"Do you mind if I talk to John?"

"Sure,"

Alex slid down onto the chair then onto the floor. Then, she ran off into Carson's office.

"She didn't have to leave," said Elizabeth out loud.

"She wanted to," said John, leaning back against the pillows.

"Okay,"

"You wanted to talk to me...wait I didn't do anything wrong did I!?"

"No Colonel, you didn't do anything wrong...yet,"

"Jeez, well that shows how much faith you have in my untroubled skills,"

"What skills?"

John frowned and closed his eyes while Elizabeth smiled then walked over to the side of John's bed.

"I wanted to see how you were doing,"

"Well aside from a broken arm and having to be cooped up in here I'm fine,"

"I know you don't like it here, but it's for your own good!"

"Yeah, yeah, the doc said the exact same words,"

"Sorry, but you have Alex,"

"She doesn't like it in here anymore than I do,"

"I thought she liked it,"

"Nah, the only thing apart from me that she likes here is Carson,"

"Oh, then why is she still here?"

"Because I'm here,"

"Anyway, I came to tell you that Kekik and Calvin have gotten rid of the wraith controlling their minds and they are going to the mainland today,"

"Really! That's great! Can you send them in here before they leave,"

"I will, have your forgiven them?"

"It wasn't their fault, they didn't do anything wrong!"

"True, well, they're leaving soon so I'll send them in before they have to go,"

"Alright,"

Elizabeth walked out of the door and as soon as she saw Kekik and Calvin she sent them into the infirmary.

oOo

Alex smiled as she stood in the puddle jumper room. Rodney had taken her to say goodbye to Kekik and Calvin.

"Where are they going?" she asked Rodney.

"To the mainland," he replied.

"Where's that?"

"Nearby,"

"Why are they going?"

"They can't stay here,"

"Why not?"

"There's a better home for them on the mainland,"

"How so?"

"Well, they're used to being outside all the time and not surrounded by advanced technology like this,"

"Is it bad for them here?"

"Yes,"

"What about me?"

"You're an ancient so not only do you know how the technology works, you also know how to get around the city and not to touch stuff,"

"Does that mean I'm staying?"

"Yes,"

"But they're not,"

"Yes,"

"Will I get to see them?"

"Sure, Colonel Sheppard will be able to take you to see them whenever you want,"

"Really!"

"Yes,"

"Cool,"

"Would I get to fly?"

"Probably not until you're older,"

"Why?"

"Why don't you give Kekik and Calvin a hug before they leave?"

"Kay!"

Alex ran over to where Kekik and Calvin were standing and Rodney heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong Rodney?"

Teyla had worked her way through the crowd to stand next to him.

"I have never met a kid that talks as much as she does!"

"Every child talks a lot and asks a lot of questions,"

"It's annoying,"

"She's a child,"

Rodney frowned and Alex was suddenly standing next to him.

"I'm back," she said smiling.

"Hello Alex," said Teyla, seeing the discomfort in Rodney's face, "how are you?"

"Good! I'm better than I was before!"

"That's good; do want to come with me? I think I can find a better place to wave to Kekik and Calvin,"

"Okay, bye Rodney!"

Alex ran over to Teyla and grabbed her hand.

Let's go,"

"Kay!"

oOo

John groaned as he lay in the infirmary bed. He still couldn't leave and at the moment it was really bad! Why? Well, Kekik and Calvin were leaving at that very moment. He had tried to leave on many occasions, but he was caught every time.

"JOHN!"

John looked up to see Alex running towards him.

"They're gone,"

"Are you sad?" he asked.

"Aha, but Rodney said that they would really like it there!"

"He did,"

"Yeah, I think so too but I'll miss them!"

"Alex, do you want to go to the mainland?"

"NO! I want to stay here!"

"Alright, just checking,"

"Does that mean I can stay forever and ever?" Alex ran up to the side of the bed and climbed onto the chair then sat on the bed, "does it?"

"Yes, you can stay with us forever and ever!"


I'm thinking of writing a sequel but I need ideas! If you can give me 1...or 2 or more I will greatly appreciate it!
