"Major Lorne how are you feeling?" Keller asked softly.

"Like I have been in the tumble dryer." He said drowsily.

Jennifer smiled. "Well you have had surgery, but everything seems fine." She said reassuringly. Evan nodded slightly trying to focus on her voice. He felt her soft hand on his shoulder. "You need to get some sleep; I'll be back in the morning."

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

After a good nights sleep, Jennifer headed for the mess to have breakfast. Arriving, she spotted Teyla and went over.

"Doctor Keller." She greeted.

"Hi Teyla; how are you doing?"

"Are you checking up on me?" The Athosian asked curiously.

"Oh no, well maybe a little". Teyla studied her.

"You seem tired."

"Well it's been a lot lately but don't worry I will be fine." Jennifer said switching subject. "So I better get going, perhaps I see you later?"

"Yes." Teyla said, suspiciously eyeing the doctor.

Jennifer walked up to Sheppard's office fairly confident he would be there. She knocked on the doorframe, folding her arms and gave him the sternest expression she could muster.

"Remember light duties?" The Colonel smiled, looking up from his computer. "I haven't forgotten, besides you don't need to worry about it because I am turning Atlantis over to Colonel Carter when she arrives through the stargate."

Jennifer watched him carefully. "It's true than that Colonel Carter is the new leader of the expedition?"

Sheppard once again took his eyes off the screen. "Yeah but she needed to take care of certain things back home first. You know finish and rearranging some projects." He smiled at her. "So who's the lucky one?" He asked.

"I don't understand?"

"Who won the betting?"

Now it was Keller's turn to smile. "I have no idea what you are talking about colonel."

"Of course not doctor."

Doctor Keller arrived at the infirmary a little later than expected but was pleased to know that Major Lorne had been lucid and was on the mend.

She was surprised to see Ronon standing in the doorway. Keller hadn't figured him out yet; sometimes he scared her. Jennifer briefly thought about Carson. What would he say about Ronon? She went forward with a gentle smile on her face.

"Ronon; is something wrong?"

"I was just wondering if you have something for this damn headache." Jennifer stared at him. She never expected to hear that from the strong Satedan. "Doctor?" He asked softly, he even sounded concerned.

"Oh, of course." She went over to a locker taking out a bottle of pills. "I remember telling you to take it easy otherwise your body will not recuperate."

"Okay, thanks doc." He said taking the bottle before exiting the room.

1900 hours

Jennifer sat on her bed with the computer in front of her. She was about to start the programme for what was it? She settled for a couple of nights. She had to see more, it was like an addiction. The smiling Scotsman appeared as happy as ever.

"I have just talked tae Teyla. You gotta love Teyla, she is a gentle and caring woman. When we first arrived in the Pegasus galaxy, it was quite a turbulent time; anyway Major Sheppard brought the Athosians with him back to Atlantis while on a mission to find a shelter for all of us. Oh dear we were in trouble, I gotta tell ye. Before arriving here was a lovely time, no Wraith lurking in the shadows. Teyla is a wonderful person, one of the kindest people I have met. She is the leader of her people, and she is used tae the life here in Pegasus. She can kick everyone's ass when it comes to training." Carson smiled.

"I have seen her fight and let's just say, I am glad we are on the same side. Teyla has Wraith DNA and has the capability tae fly and, sometimes, access Wraith ships; although Rodney on occasions calls her Xena, Teyla is smart. She is the only one smart enough to follow my medical advice. She stays in bed until I say so and she is always grateful for my help. Carson's expression hardened. "Teyla can help ye tae talk some sense into the rest of the team and if ye trust her, ye will have a loyal friend for the rest of yer stay in Atlantis." A voice echoed in the infirmary. "Doctor Beckett please report to the gateroom." He looked at the camera. "I am sorry I have tae go."

"Good night then." Keller said to the black screen.
