Sorry this one's another short chapter, but to those who have been asking about Lorne, he returns in the next chapter! Please review!
"How is Eryn?" Teyla asked Carson, who emerged, followed by Ronon, from the tent in which the pregnant woman lay. He looked concerned.
"Well, I've discovered why she was in so much pain." The doctor replied in a serious voice. Teyla gave him a questioning look. "She's going into labour. I'd expect her to give birth within the next day or so. The pain she was experiencing was the start of her contractions."
"That is wonderful news." Teyla said. "What happens now?"
"Well," Carson said, "I'm going to need some extra kit brought from the lab. I need to determine exactly when we'll have a new wee baby on our hands. I'm just off to radio back and see if Colonel Sheppard can fly over the rest of my gear."
"May I be of any assistance?" Teyla asked anxiously. "Eryn is a good friend."
"Well, it's her first baby, so she'll probably be a wee bit scared. I think the best thing you can do love, is be there to give her some reassurance." Carson said, smiling.
"Of course. Please, let me know if I can be of any more help." Teyla said, returning the smile.
"Aye, love. I'll be back in a few minutes." He said, patting Teyla on the arm and nodding at Ronon, before turning and walking back towards the Jumper.
