30 minutes later Elizabeth walked into the infirmary with Jonathan in tow.

As soon as Jonathan saw John ,sitting on one of the beds, he ran to him and sat on his lap.

"What's happening? The briefing started 10 minutes."

Beckett came to Elizabeth's side.

"Sorry, Elizabeth, but I need to keep John in. He's tore a ligament in his leg."

Elizabeth nodded.

"Okay, what about the rest of you?"

The rest of the team shared a look.

"Okay, we'll just have to do the briefing here then, won't we?" She turned to Beckett.

"Carson, would you mind taking care of Jonathan for a little while?"

"Course I don't mind."

Jonathan jumped off John's lap and ran to Carson who started explaining something about medicine and being a doctor, which Elizabeth didn't quite catch. She and the rest of the team were aware that Jonathan was still in hearing range so they had to be careful with what they said.

Elizabeth sat next to John on the bed. It was becoming more of an impulse action, one she didn't even realise she had.

"Okay John, explain to me what happened."

"Okay..."John started "...this is how it went down, the people in the village on Plara appeared too be friendly enough, when we started exploring the outer ruins of the city though they became aggressive."

"You see..." McKay added, "...we were interested in searching the ruins just outside of their camp, we were getting some high energy readings and the energy readings were similar to that of a ZPM."

"Which you got" Elizabeth stated.

"Yes, so we started to explore and the locals came out with weapons similar to ours. We fought and you know the rest."

"So have you tested the ZPM yet?"

"I'm going to do that."

Elizabeth nodded at Rodney

"Do it now"

Rodney nodded and stood up.

"Yes, of course"

Rodney left the room and the others got the sense that they should leave John and Elizabeth alone.

"We better get going, shall we take Jonathan, we're going to the mainland?"

Elizabeth nodded.

"You don't mind?"

"Of course not."

Elizabeth turned around to Jonathan who was playing with Beckett's Stethoscope.

"Jonathan, you want to go with Aiden?"

The boy jumped off the table he was sat on and ran to Aiden who picked him up.

"I'm going to the mainland, wanna come?"

Jonathan nodded, jumped down from Aiden, ran to Elizabeth who kissed his forehead

"Be good."

John picked Jonathan sat him on his knee, kissed his forehead and whispered in his ear.

"Make sure Uncle Aiden behaves himself."

Jonathan nodded, jumped down and ran back to Aiden.

"Be good." John shouted after them

"I'll make sure he's good sir"

"I meant you Ford."

Aiden laughed

"Of course sir."

When she was sure that Jonathan was out of hearing distance, she started again.

"I'm guessing McKay told me the cleaned up version."

John nodded.

"It was a little worst then what McKay said. The villagers became more then aggressive, they became primitive with an almost Wraith-like blood lust. We were lucky to get out of there."

Elizabeth nodded.

"I'm glad you're safe."

"We should lock Plara out of the base dialling computer."

Elizabeth nodded.

"I'll get Peter to do it."

John could sense that Elizabeth was still worried.

"I'm okay."

"I shouldn't have sent any of you, we knew it was risky. Teyla had never even heard of the planet."

"We can't keep going to places that Teyla knows, we need to explore and that means going to uncharted planets."

Elizabeth put her hand on John's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"I'm glad you're back."

She stood and walked to the door.

"You already said that." John noted

Elizabeth turned round

"No I didn't, I said I was glad you were safe."

John nodded.

"Same thing."

Elizabeth smiled again.

"Get some rest John."

She turned and walked out of the infirmary.

TBC...

Hope you liked that. Was an okay chapter. This mission was important that's why I motioned it. It also involves some major character development. Does anyone know how long it takes for a torn leg ligament takes to repair? I need it for the timeline of the fic. Can't post the next bit until I know.
