Chapter 4

Helen and Carson had to keep the hatered act going for 5 more days before it was rumbled by none other than Dr Weir. Helen had finished quite late one evening and as always gone to check up on Paige. When she'd entered the infirmary she'd found it completely deserted for once, not a nurse in sight, so after saying a quick hello to her friend had gone looking for Carson, knowing he'd bearound no matter what. She'd found him seconds later sorting out supplies on the far side of the infirmary. Slowly she'd crept up on him and grabbed his arse; soon they were in each others arms, getting very carried away thus they were caught in a full blown snogging session when Elizabeth had come into the infirmary looking for something for her headache. When she hadn't spotted Carson straight away she'd gone over to the supply shelves looking for aspirin but what she found were the two doctors sprawled on one of the infirmary beds with Carson laying on top of Helen kissing her as if his life depended on it.

"Her hum" she coughed causing Carson to jump about ten feet in the air and fall on the floor

"What's going on here?" Elizabeth asked trying to sound angry but the sight of a dishevelled Carson sitting on the floor and Helen trying to help him up was almost too much.

"Dr Weir I can explain" Helen started, still trying to let Carson to stand

"Never mind that, just how long has this been going on?" Elizabeth asked trying not the laugh

"A little over a week" Carson replied finally getting to his feet, while straightening out his clothes

Elizabeth was quiet for a second "So the whole I hate you thing was all an act?"

"Yes"

"Why?" was all Elizabeth could think of to say

"It was my idea Dr Weir. I overhead you checking in with Teyla and I was angry, especially when I found out Dr McKay was also involved too, so when Carson and I did get together I persuaded him to go along with the idea that I hated him in order to teach everyone a lesson that they shouldn't interfere.We would have gotten together on our own eventually, it would have just taken a little longer"

"Hey Rodney owes me $20 now" Elizabeth muttered to herself

"What!" Carson asked

"Nothing it's just Rodney bet me that you guys wouldn't get together like we planned but now this changes everything I win" Elizabeth said seeming very happy with herself

Helen turned to Dr Weir saying "Well we knew we'd get found out sooner or later but it would have been nice to tell people and not get caught"

"Hey I'm not going to say a word, all I'll say is that you are together and have been since the main land. I can't wait to see Rodney's face. Well I'll leave you two alone, see you tomorrow." Elizabeth said before turning and exiting the infirmary

"Oh my god how embarrassing to be caught was bad enough but by Dr Weir" Helen sighed after she'd gone, wrapping her arms around Carson's waist

"Hey as you said we knew we'd get found out eventually. At least we can be around each other now without you having to act as if you can't stand me, that's got to be worth it?"

"Of course it is, but Dr Weir god, I know, I know I'm venting I'll stop. Anyway now our little secret is out how about you stay at mine tonight?"

"I'd like that but I still have some work to finish here then I'll be over"

"Ok" Helen replied bringing her lips to his in a slow, sensual kiss "Don't be too long" she whispered as they parted before shedetangled herself fromhim and walked out of the infirmary swinging her hips seductively.

Carson was finished finally and looked at his watch, 12:30, it was late, very late Helen wasn't going to be happy with him. He'd taken a lot longer than he thought, but when he arrived at her quarters and entered, he found her curled up asleep in a chair by the window. Gently he picked her up, moving her over to the bed and laying her down, before covering her with the blanket. Once that was done he watched her sleep for a few moment before striping down to his t-shirt and boxers then climbed into bed, snuggling against her till they were spooned together, shortly after this falling asleep himself.

Helen woke up the next morning feeling cosy and warm and upon opening her eyes understood why, she was laying on her side snuggled up to the sleeping form of Atlantis' chief medical officer. Smiling to herself she rose up on one elbow and watched him for a few seconds before leaning over to place small kisses on his neck, causing him to stir in his sleep and pull her closer. When he didn't wake Helen began to trail her kisses up his neck and across his face moving toward his lips, this produced a mutter that sounded like "That's nice"

"Morning" she whispered against his lips before kissing him long and slow. As the kiss deepened, Helen manoeuvred herself so she ended up lying on top of Carson. When the need for air became urgent she pushed herself up on her hands and looked down at him seeing her still had his eyes closed but had a big grin on his face

"Did you put me to bed doctor?" she asked playfully

Carson slowly opened his eyes to look at her before replying "Aye lass, you were curled up in that big chair by the window when I arrived and I thought you'd be more comfortable in bed"

"I agree, the bed is more comfortable especially when it comes with it's own snuggable heater" she said as she wriggled against him

Carson moaned slightly, grabbing her hips stopping them from moving "Stop that or this snuggable heater is going to go super critical"

"What if that's the idea" Helen said before wriggling again

This time Carson wrapped his arms around her then before she knew it he'd flipped them so he was now on top. "Well if that's the idea then who am I to argue"

And he proceeded to kiss her neck causing her to moan as he found the sensive spot behind her ear making her tip her head back giving him better access.

Helen could hear chiming but couldn't figure out where it was coming from then she heard someone calling her name.

"Dr McCoy, Dr McCoy are you there? It's Nurse Peters"

Helen opened her eyes and looked at the clock, it was her day off why was someone knocking on her door at 11am

"Coming" she shouted getting out of bed, grabbing Carson's t-shirt from the floor

"What is it lass?" he asked as she moved toward the door

"Don't know" she yawned back

Helen opened the door to find a petite woman standing there looking at her "Yes" she said still half asleep trying to understand why there was a nurse standing at her door

"Sorry to disturb you doctor, but it's Paige!"

"What about her, is she ok, what's happened"

"Nothing she's awake"

"What!" she yelped

"She's awake and asking for you. I tried calling Dr Beckett but he's not responding so I came here"

So excited about Paige and forgetting that only Dr Weir knew about them, Helen turned back toward the bed and yelled "Carson, Paige is awake ,Paige is awake"

When she turned back to Nurse Peters she saw a very shocked young woman looking back as she put it all together. Realising she'd just let the cat out of the bag Helen calmly said "Thank you Sophie. Carson and I will come down to the infirmary as soon as we can." And with that she moved her hand over thesensor causing the door to slide closed

Carson looked up at her as she came over to the bed "You realise it's going to be all over the city in a matter of hours, soon everyone is going to know we're together" he said sitting up reaching for her

"Yeah I know, but I was too excited about Paige to care besides at least this way we don't have to tell everyone ourselves" she smiled at him "Come on get dressed, you need to get down to the infirmary and check on Paige and I need to tell her what she's missed"
