Alright now on with the chapter, I hope you like and please review to let me know. Talk to you soon.
John took Rachel's hand just before they walked threw the gate so that she had something to hold on to. She smiled up at him and then turned and waved one last time, to her brother, Janet and the rest of her team. When they all waved back Rachel turned back around and was ready to go. John smiled and pulled her with him gently threw the gate.
When they got there and she saw all the people standing there waiting for them, she clamed up and stood closer to him. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist and then looked up at were Dr. Weir was standing.
"They all here?" He asked.
"Yes Major, their all here," She told him and he smiled.
"Ok, I asked Dr. Weir to get you all here so that we could get the introductions over with for Rachel." He told them, "She's going to be here for about a month, so I expect everyone to treat her well. If you don't their will be hell to pay," He said. "Is that clear?" He asked and they all nodded.
"Good now that that is done, I want you all to meet Captain Rachel Jackson. Rachel this is everyone, well there is more, but this is everyone you will be around the most." He said. "The three right there is McKay, Tayla, and Lt. Ford, they are my team." He said, "You'll get to know them real well." He said and smiled at the three to do something to encourage her a little bit.
They all smiled at her and Lt. Ford smiled at her and saluted, "It's good to finally meat you ma'm" She said.
Rachel smiled shyly, "It's good to meet you to Lt." She said.
She looked up at John, "It's weird, having some one call me ma'm…I'm use to being the one that says that." She said and he laughed.
"Well you have someone to boss around now," He said and she grinned. "But that is when were out in the field or on duty…were not now, so it's informal." He said looking at the two.
"Yes sir," they both said after seeing the look on his face.
He laughed, and then saw Dr. Becket, "Dr. Beckett come here please?" He said.
Dr. Becket came up to them, "Yes Major?" He asked
"Rachel has a couple things that Janet wanted me to give to you. Her last mission she was taken prisoner, and beaten really badly. They left her in nothing but rags in a cold wet cell and she got Pneumonia." He said and handed the two things to the Dr. "the cream is for her back, she gets it at least two times a day, if she needs it more its fine, but at least twice. The other is her antibiotic, she gets one a day." He explained and then looked down at Rachel.
"Is that right?" He asked and she nodded.
Dr. Becket nodded, "Ok," He said, "Have you had the antibiotic?" He asked Rachel.
She nodded, "Yes sir." She said softly.
"Good, what about the cream?" He asked.
"Once," She said.
Dr. Becket smiled, "Good," He said and looked at John, "Just bring her down, when she needs the next time." He said.
John nodded, "Ok." He said.
Dr. Becket smiled and stepped back "See you then," he said.
John nodded and then looked down at Rachel and smiled, "Come on, time to meet Dr. Weir." He said.
He dropped his arm around her shoulder and took her hand again and started leading her up to the control room. He remembered his team and stopped for a minute, "Your dismissed guys, meet us in the commissary for lunch." He said.
They nodded, "Ok," they all said and smiled at Rachel.
Rachel smiled back at them shyly and then they walked off in different directions. John smiled and then gently started pulling Rachel up the stairs and towards Dr. Weir.
When they got to were Dr. Weir was John stopped and turned to Rachel and gently pushed her towards Dr. Weir.
"Rachel, I want you to meet the Woman that is in charge, Dr. Elizabeth Weir. Elizabeth this is Captain Rachel Jackson." He introduced them.
Rachel smiled, "Nice to meet you ma'm. Thank you for letting me come." She said softly.
John looked down at Rachel with his eyebrow up, "You just meet her," He said.
"So, I wanted to thank her." She said,
"You never talk that much when you first meet someone." He said.
Elizabeth laughed, "John, leave her alone," She said, "And it's nice to meet you to Captain, you can call me Elizabeth," She said.
Rachel smiled, "Ok." She said
John laughed, "There is the response I'm use to." He said.
Elizabeth laughed, "Why don't you go show her where she's staying." She said.
"That sounds like a good idea." He said.
Rachel looked at him with big blue eyes, "I'm not staying with you?" She asked nervously.
John saw the fear in her eyes, "Yes sweetie, you're staying with me, and I'm not going to make you stay in a separate room. We got a bed in my quarters, set up next to mine. I'm just going to show you where it is." He said.
Rachel looked down, "Oh I feel like an idiot," She said softly.
John smiled and wrapped an arm around her, "Come on Rach," He said softly, deciding to talk to her in privacy in the quarters.
She nodded and let him lead her to the quarters. She was off in her own little world when he stopped and opened a door, "here we are," He said and gently pushed her in.
She came out of her thoughts and looked around the huge room. There was a huge bed next to the wall on the right, then some regular furniture at the wall to the left. She was in awe, the room was amazing, and she liked it even more when she saw the bay window, with a window set in and squealed.
John smiled, "Go over there Rach, that set is huge, you could probably sleep on it." He said.
She ran over to it and got on it and he smiled, happy to see her smiling, he knew she would like the window; she loved bay windows with the seats.
She looked at him, "This thing is huge," She said.
"I told you it was," He said and she smiled at him.
"I take it you like the room?" He asked
She nodded, "It's awesome." She said.
He smiled, "I thought you would like it. When we first got here and found the zpms and new we could stay, we started looking at the quarters, and fighting over the ones we really wanted. Well everyone else was, I wasn't. This was the first room I came into, and when I saw that window, I clamed this room before anyone else could. Everyone knew I really wanted this one and just left me alone with it. Elizabeth came in later and asked me why I didn't look at any others and I told her about how you love bay windows with the seats, and that this one reminded me of you. She didn't ask anything else, and everyone left it alone. There are better quarters, I know that, but I like this one because I knew you would." He told her.
She smiled at him softly, "You picked this one cause of me?" She asked
He smiled at her and walked over to her and set down in front of her and took her hands, "Yea, it reminded me of you," He said, "Then when we found the other zpm that let us come home to earth and I came and found out you were transferring to the SGC I couldn't wait to get you here," He said. "Not just because of this window, but because I wanted you to see Atlantis," He said
She smiled, "And when you got me here, I made an idiot out of my self the first few minutes after I got here," She said softly.
"No you didn't, Elizabeth knows you don't like being by yourself in a new place." He told her squeezing her hands.
"She does?" She asked
"Yes, I told her before you came," He told her, "She understands," He said to her gently.
She smiled softly, "do you think they like me?" She asked.
"Yes, and once they get to know you better, they'll love you," He said, reaching up and brushing some hair out of her face.
"You really think so?" She asked softly.
"Yes, I know so," He said gently and rubbed her check with his thumb.
She gave him a real smile and looked out the window, "It's so beautiful," She said.
He smiled, "Yea it is," He said but not staring at the ocean, instead he was staring at her.
She turned her head and looked back at him, "John?" She asked
"Yes baby?" He answered
"What were you talking about?" She asked
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I was talking about the ocean," She said.
He smiled at her, "Well while I agree with you on that, I was actually talking about you," He said.
She blushed and looked down at her hands. He smiled and reached out and pulled her face up, "I mean it," He said.
She smiled at him, "I know," She said, "Thank you,"
"Your welcome," he said and moved closer to her, "I don't get to tell you enough," He said, "But I think your beautiful, cute, Adorable, sweet, precious," He listed and then laughed, "I would keep going, but it would take your entire stay here." He
Said.
She smiled at him sweetly and scooted over to him and leaned against his chest wrapping her arms around him. He smiled at her and wrapped his arms around her and held her for a while.
They cuddled for a while until it was time to go meet the team in the commissary. He looked at his watch, sighed and rubbed her arm to get her attention because she had fallen asleep and he didn't want to scare her.
"Rachel come on sweetie," He said
She moved and raised her head up and looked at him, "What?" She asked
"Time to go meet the team in the commissary," He said.
She smiled, "ok," She said surprisingly excited about it.
John raised his eyebrow and smiled, "You're not nervous?" He asked her
She smiled at him, "Yea I am, but I've met them and they seem nice. I want to get to know them," She said, "But that doesn't mean I'm not scared out of my mind about it." She finished.
He smiled, "I'm glad you want to go, and don't worry, I'll be with you the whole time, unless I need to do something, but right now I don't, so I'll be with you." He promised, "And there is nothing to be scared of, they are all great people. McKay can be annoying as hell sometimes, just tell him to shut up and you should be fine. Fords quite most of the time, but always wants to be doing something, and Tayla is great, as long as you don't piss her off, she's really sweet and laid back, and is great to spare with. You should ask her to spare with you sometime, you could be pretty good friends." He said.
She smiled, that had made her fell less scared about it, "Thanks, I'll remember that," She said.
"Your welcome," He said kissing her nose, "Ready to go now?" He asked
She nodded, "yes," She said.
"Ok, then let's go," He said helping her up.
She nodded and followed him out of the room, and to the commissary, willing herself not to be so nervous.
Ok that's it, I know it's short but the next one will be longer, I promise. I hope it won't take so long to update, but I'm trying to update all my fics. Please review and tell me what you think, and I'll do my best to update as soon as I can. Talk to you soon, Liz.
