Note: I came up with this story last night, I really like it, and I knew I would have to write it up as soon as possible. Hope you like it. Hope it comes out as good on paper as it did in my mind.
4 Months after 'Rising.'
John Sheppard left his quarters and made his way round the corridors that led to the control room. He made his way up to Elizabeth Weir's office. He was fairly certain he was in trouble. Hell, most of the time he was in that office she was tearing him a new one.
He got to the door and knocked on it.
"Dr Weir?"
Elizabeth came out of her office.
"Let's go somewhere else"
John nodded; he was surprised. She didn't seem pissed.
John followed Elizabeth to the balcony. Elizabeth lent against the railing and didn't start talking until the door was completely closed and she was sure no-one was around.
"John..."
"I'm sorry about the last mission..."
"John shut up" John quickly shut up. "John, I'm not bothered about the last mission at the moment." That really shut John up, Elizabeth not bothered about an extremely screwed up mission, something must be wrong.
"What's up Elizabeth?"
"John, I'm going to the mainland for a few months, I cleared it with Halling, the Athosians are fine with it. I'm leaving in the next few days. You'll be in charge until I return."
Elizabeth turned to leave when John grabbed her arm to stop her
"Why?"
"John, my reasons are my own."
"Not when they involve this whole base, I deserve an explanation, especially as your second in command. And as your friend."
Elizabeth sighed.
"I suppose it would have gotten out anyway. John, I'm 4 ½ months pregnant."
