Too Many Pregnancies
Chapter 1: Evan Lorne
Evan sat in the infirmary while Carson was going through the last batch of test results. A million thoughts were going through his head. He thought for sure that he had caught a bug or a disease from an off world mission. He first thoughts were of all the missions that he had done in the past couple of months, he was trying to pinpoint when the symptoms had first started. He had to ready himself to tell Cam whatever the diagnosis was. He had to be brave. If whatever he had was killing him, whether slowly or quickly he was going to face it with the courage that he always showed. He was not going to let Cam see him falter, or be scared for a minute. He was going to make Cam proud of him.
Carson came around the corner,carrying his medical tablet in one hand and scratching his head with the other. Evan studied his face. He was sure that he didn't see fear or panic. Just worry. He gave himself a tight nod and squared his shoulders, ready for whatever the doctor was going to tell him.
"Is it bad?" He was proud of himself for not allowing his voice to shake. He could feel the slight break out of sweat along his hair line and down his spine. He kicked his foot absently as he wondered if Carson was going to slip his doctor face on. The one that he wore whenever he had bad news to deliver.
Carson smiled as he sat on the stool and rolled it so that he was face to face with the major. "It's not so much bad as unexplainable and unusual. I don't know how but you're pregnant."
Evan's eyes got as big as saucers. "Um...Doc, you do know that I'm male, right? I mean, the last time that I checked in order to become pregnant you needed to be female. Never mind the fact that I am in a relationship with...well, you know."
Carson shook his head. He had known about the relationship between Cam and Evan pretty early on. It was really hard to be in charge of everyone's physicals and not know when they were engaging in anal sex. "Look,it's not my business who you sleep with. But I ran the tests several time. You are pregnant. Now, I'll give you some time to really let it sink in before we start discussing how we're going to handle this."
Evan jumped down from the table and started gathering his clothes so that he could get dressed. He knew that he was going to have to tell Cam and Sheppard, he was just unsure how he was going to do any of that. He also knew that if he decided to have the child, (if he actually could, it wasn't like his body was made for this) all of Atlantis would learn about it eventually anyway.
He walked out of the infirmary and headed straight to his quarters. He had the day off and all he wanted to do was take a nap. He opened the door to his quarters, turned down the lights and all but threw himself on top of his bed. He was hoping that this was some sort of fucked up dream and that he would wake up to find that none of it had happened.
