Hi guys! Sorry this chapter took longer to post and that the last one had so many mistakes!

Thanks again for the reviews:

Ashkash: Do you know that whole ZPM thing took me ages to write! I just wanted a really funny moment with Rodney. I think his crush on Carter is cute.

Quinndolynn: Don't worry, am not sure where am going with this sometimes!

Shaman's Blade: Am going to try and make the chapters after this one longer. Promise! And of course have more John and Liz!

Chapter 5

John peered out the infirmary doors. What the hell is going on? he wondered. Standing there for a few minutes lost in his thoughts he was unaware of what was happening to Elizabeth behind him. He did not witness the needle empty into Elizabeth's arm or see the small glow rise to the ceiling and disappear. It was not until he heard the constant beep from her heart monitor change to an erratic one that he raced back to her bed.

"Elizabeth!" he cried. "Doc! Something's wrong!"

"What happened?" Carson asked running, along with two nurses, from his office to Elizabeth's side.

"I…my back was turned…I don't know!" John answered watching Elizabeth's body begin to twitch.

"She's having a seizure!" Carson announced as he and the nurses tried to hold her body down. "It may have been the bump on her head!"

"Doc!" John asked frantically watching the scene before him.

"Major, I need you to wait outside!"

"But…"

"No buts. There's…"

Beckett was cut off by the sound from the heart monitor. Elizabeth was flat lining. John's eyes widened as the scene before him began to play out in slow motion. He did not see Rodney or Lt. Ford come through the doors just in time to see the tragic event.

"Major!" Rodney asked fearfully as he saw Beckett try to revive Elizabeth.

But John couldn't hear him. He couldn't hear anything. He did not see Carson use the defibrillator or push it aside and start to perform CPR. He did not see Rodney and Ford come stand next to him, one on either side watching in horror. It took him a minute to realise Carson had stopped CPR and was standing slightly back with the nurses.

"Doc!" John asked in a low scared voice. "Why are you stopping?"

Carson swallowed, blinking back the tears and sadly looked from Elizabeth to John.

"No! You can't do this! You need to keep going!" John shouted at him. "Rodney, tell him!"

Rodney stood staring at John with tears in his eyes. Then John looked at Ford seeing the same look on his face.

"No!" he yelled at them and turned back to Elizabeth. "No." he whispered gently touching her face.

No longer able to keep control of his legs he stumbled back until he reached the wall. Feeling the tears fill his eyes, he slid to the floor into a crouching position and hid his head in his hands. The others looked on in shock and sympathy as, for the first time, they saw John Sheppard cry.
