Chapter Eleven
Jessica woke up to the faint sound of complaining. Her eyes still shut she knew the voice that was going on and on. It had to be Rodney. She slowly opened her eyes to the brightness of the lights in the infirmary. She carefully turned her head to the sound of Rodney's voice and saw him laying on a table next to her. A nurse was trying to give him a shot of some kind. His face was puffy and bright red. She looked at him strangely and then shut her eyes trying to clear her vision, but when she opened them again she saw the same thing.
"Rodney what the hell happened to you?" she asked curiously causing Rodney to jump at the sound of her voice
"You're a wake." he said as the nurse stuck him with the needle" Owe. Someone go get Col. Sheppard and Maj. Lorne." he got up to go over to her
"You shouldn't get up after getting that..." Dr. Beckett couldn't finish what he was saying cause Rodney fell to the ground." Shot it makes you weak."
"Owe." Rodney said as Dr. Beckett helped him up and back into the bed he was in.
"You had a severe allergy to something you need to rest." Dr. Beckett order.
"Is he going to be okay?" Jessica asked concerned
"He'll be fine if he rest." Dr. Beckett said as he turned his attention back to her" Now, you Lass gave us all quite a scare." he told her as he checked her over
"All I did was give birth to a baby girl." she said softly" It must have tired me out more than I expected."
"You passed out shortly after you gave birth and you started to hemorrhage. You lost a lot of blood. You've been out of it off and on for almost a week." he informed her
"Oh my god. How is the baby?" she asked as her heart rate went up a little
"Calm down lass she's great. She gave us a little scare too, but she came through it just fine. The Major was expected to bring her home today, but I think he'll make an exception in this case." he said as Lorne , John and Ronon came in.
"Hey look who wants to see you." Lorne said as he brought Faith over to Jessica.
"Aww, look how cute she is." she said as Lorne put Faith in her arms" She's got ten little fingers and ten little toes. Oh wow she's beautiful." her face was beaming as she looked down into Faith's face.
"Thanks to you she's here." Lorne said as she handed Faith back to him.
"You boys were really worried about weren't you?" she asked her face still beaming from her interaction with Faith.
"Just a little bit." John said playing it off as nothing big.
"Don't let them lie to you lass all three of them were here by your side all hours during the night." Dr. Beckett announced.
"Aww, you guys love me admit it." she teased
"I'd love to stay and agree with you, but Col. Caldwell is leaving and I have to go to get her settled in." Lorne said as he placed a kiss on her forehead and left.
"He's going to be a great father." she said as her heart felt like it swelled ten times. She wanted a baby of her own someday just not now.
"Yes, he is." john said as he and Ronon moved to be by her side
"How are you?" Ronon asked as he reached for her hand
"I'm good now that McKay is out." she said as she tightened her grip on Ronon's hand. This was a man she wanted, but she knew she had to give her self time to heal. There was just something about him that kept pulling her to him.
"Yeah, he got bit by a bug off world and well you know the rest." John said as he tried to suppress a laugh.
"Oh, yeah the first thing I hear was his voice." she said as she smiled
"I tired to tell him that there was a bug there." Ronon said in his defense.
"But he knows it all and wouldn't listen." Jessica finished for him knowing Rodney.
"Your dad wants you to go back home." John said knowing that Ronon was still unhappy about the whole thing.
"Did you tell him I'm not going back?" she questioned
"Jess your mother was very ill she's just made it through and your father is afraid of losing you." John tried to explain it to her
"So, in other words you finally decided to follow orders." Jessica spat out" Okay I'll go back, only to make sure my mom's okay then I'm coming back here and I will so kick your ass when we spare again." she promised him as she adjusted her self to a more comfortable position.
"I'll hold you to that." he said as he looked from her then to Ronon" I'm going to go." He got up kissed Jessica's cheek and walked out leaving the two alone.
"It won't be for long." she told him
"It'll be long enough." he said as he leaned closer to her and rested his forehead against hers.
"I still have time here. I have to be completely recovered and It'll take a week for the Deadalus to get back here. We have almost a month together." she reminded him
"I like your way of thinking." he said as he kissed her.
She returned his kiss basking in the heat that his kiss caused in her. She was most definitely coming back if only for this man right here in her arms kissing her lips.
