Despite the late night Jennifer woke up early. Starting to get to know Colonel Sheppard from Carson's video she half expected him to have left the infirmary. However Keller couldn't have been more wrong, John was sleeping quietly in his bed. The blanket ended just below his bandaged ribs and the dog tags hung loosely around his neck. Even Ronon lay back on his bed trying to get her to believe that he too was asleep. Teyla smiled and greeted good morning. Jennifer started the day by walking her rounds and checked on all her current patients. The rest of the day went by smoothly and Keller even managed to get off the shift early after releasing the three members of Team Sheppard and Rodney seemed to take his injury quite good.
Colonel Carter had gone back to earth as soon as the situation had cleared up and that meant that Colonel Sheppard was in charge. Keller wasn't too happy about it but she had agreed to let him on light duties, although she doubted he knew what that meant. Damn, Carson had warned her but the Colonel had been so persuasive. The Scottish doctor's word echoed in her mind. "Don't be afraid to say no to him when it comes to injuries because it's your call..." She sighed, she wasn't gonna allow this, next time.
When reaching her quarters she tapped her radio. "Doctor Keller to Colonel Sheppard."
"Go ahead doc" Came the reply.
"I do hope you are resting in your quarters by now." She said, trying to sound stern. The only thing she would scare was probably a mouse.
"I am getting there."
"Colonel I believe I told you..." She paused, did he just laugh at her.
"Ah...I am sorry doc. You just reminded me of Carson." She heard him take a deep breath. "Anyway I am fine, there is nothing wrong with me, you should call Ronon, I believe he headed for the gym." He said. Keller sighed, these people they were worse than children.
After getting hold of Ronon she clicked on her computer. Carson once again appeared on the screen, this time with his coat on
"I am releasing Ronon and John while Rodney stays for a while longer for my own sanity." His eyes twinkled. "I am going to check on them later though." Keller could hear a voice in the background
"All I ask for is my computer!"
Carson looked straight into the camera ignoring the whining voice. "Doctor McKay is one of the worst patients I have ever had. On top of that he is the worst hypochondriac in two galaxies...he is annoying and he thinks he can outsmart everyone." Carson lit up. "But Rodney is my friend and a really good friend. You have to get to know him to understand him and appreciate that because he is not very good with people. He is the Head of the science department tae many scientists dislikin' when they first arrive. Rodney says exactly what's on his mind, callin' people 'idiot' or 'daft' is not something he is havin' trouble with.
"He is somewhat the opposite of John. Despite that they are really good friends, I recall a recruit once hearing Rodney calling Colonel Sheppard idiot. The recruit moved forward and asked what the colonel was going to do about it. Sheppard gave him a wicked smile and said 'It's just Rodney I don't take him seriously.'
"When Rodney comes to me it's usually nothing wrong with him, he mostly overreacts but try and be patient with him anyway. Since being a part of the team Rodney has gradually become a part in a new family that cares for him and it has changed him. He would do anything for his team, even though he would never admit that if you asked him." Carson sighed. "Rodney has his moments when he recklessly throws himself in harms way. I remember one time when he injected himself with the Wraith enzyme in order to get home and help his team. As much as I admire what he did, I hate the way he did it. He could have died the daft bugger." The Doctor's expression softened somewhat as he continued. "What I am trying to say is that Rodney, even though he is complaining and whining at times is a great and sensitive person so please take good care of him.
Keller's radio suddenly burst to life and she quickly paused the recording. "Doctor Keller I am sorry to disturb you but you wanted to be notified when Major Lorne woke up."
"Yes thank you, I will be right there." She ended the program and headed for the door.
