John woke up from his nap. He was still thinking about what Rodney had told him the day before. What had he given which could not be so easily given back? What was so special?

When John was thinking about things, James came into the room. James once again looked at this man who was and is his parents' best friend. This man who James had heard so many good things of, was actually as good as they had said he was.

John looked up from his thoughts to see that James was there.

"What are you doing here?" John asked the young man.

"Mom and dad both said that I should probably want to go visit with you today. They didn't exactly said why, just that I should."

"Hmm, that is interesting. So what do you want to do? I don't have my physical therapy today so the whole day is free."

"I don't really know. We could always give you a tour around the city. It has changed in the years that you were out of it. I even notice the change and I have only been alive for over 14 years."

"That sounds nice. That would at least get me out of here. Though, we would probably have to check with Carson."

"Oh, I already checked with Carson. He doesn't mind, in fact he supports this little trip."

"Alright then, lets get me out of this bed and on the road," John stated.

When they got John out of the bed and into his favorite wheelchair, they were off and running. They took a tour of the city. John notice that some things were different but most were the same. One of the things that were different was that they had converted one of the spaces into a school area. John noticed that some kids were in the classroom. He looked at James and James responded in turn that some of the students including himself do independent study so they only needed to come to school only a couple times a week to learn the other things they needed to learn. They went to the mess hall for lunch and there they started to talk about life and the happenings of people.

"So how was growing up in Atlantis went for you?"

"It was fine. Mom tried to her hardest to raise me but it was easier once Rodney joined our family."

"Rodney joined your family?"

"Yeah, Rodney didn't marry my mom until I was 4. I don't remember much about my life before Rodney moved in, I just remember mom being sad. Then Rodney moved in, and mom was happier but there was still some sadness in her that she tried to hide from me."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Rodney has always been like a father to me so it was very natural of me to start calling him dad. Even if he isn't my dad, he has been like a father to me like no other could be."

"I still can't see Rodney as a father figure. Even if you tell me he was good father, I can't see it. But then again things change."

---------------------------------------

Elizabeth walked into the mess hall and noticed that John and James were talking together. She smiled at this sight. Rodney walked up behind her and noticed what she was looking at.

"Well, that is a welcome sign." Rodney stated as he put his arms around Elizabeth.

"Hmm, it is. That is a very welcome sight. James getting to know his real father is a good sign," Elizabeth said putting her hands on Rodney's.

"Yeah, this is a start for him of a new life. Hey, lets go get some food," Rodney said to his wife.

"Yeah, that would be great."
