Over the next few days Mia didn't go anywhere near the transporter and could be seen lurking in the rec room and avoiding everyone. Rodney had told her off for wondering off and getting lost. Every night Mia tucked herself into bed and went to sleep. She hadn't seen Rodney in days. She was still having nightmares but the one that woke her up now had her very worried. A wraith had just killed Rodney. Sitting up and taking in gulps of air, she calmed herself down and plodded over to Rodney's bed. Poking the bed she realised he wasn't there and wanting to make sure he was ok she went to his lab. Looking in she saw that he seemed to be asleep with his head in his arms. Walking over to him she pulled on his sleeve, which caused his arm to fall next to her. Jumping back in fright she took a hold of his hand and then quickly dropped it. It was icy cold. Mia panicked and ran towards the control room hoping that Elizabeth would be in her office. As she ran past Chuck she could barely see because of her tears. Chuck noticed this and stopped her when she came running back out of Elizabeth's office.
"Mia?" he called. Mia stopped and looked at him.
"Mia what's wrong?"
"It's…its…its uncle Mer. He's cold and he's not moving." She sobbed. Chuck turned to another technician and said, "Watch the gate. I'm going to check this out." Turning back to Mia he said, "Where is he?"
"His lab." Chuck stood up and said to the technician, "Radio colonel Sheppard and tell him where we are and a medical team."
"Ok. Will do." Mia looked at Chuck and said, "Don't wake up uncle John. I don't want to get wrong again."
"Don't worry. It'll be ok. Come on." He picked her up and headed towards the lab. By the time they arrived John was already there.
"Chuck? What's up? Mia why are you up?" he asked. Mia spoke first.
"I had a nightmare. Came to find uncle Mer. He's cold."
"Ok. Chuck?"
"She came running through the control room and headed for Elizabeth's office. I stopped her and asked her what was wrong."
"Ok. Lets go in there and see McKay." As they walked in John could see that McKay wasn't moving. He walked over and touched his head. Pulling his hand back sharply. "Jesus. He is cold." He then checked for a pulse that was barely there. As he did so the med team came in.
"Lets get him on the stretcher and to the infirmary." They loaded McKay onto the stretcher and rushed off to the infirmary. Dr Keller was already waiting when Mia and John walked in. Chuck had gone back to the control room.
"How is he doc?" asked John.
"He's gonna be fine. It was his hypoglycaemia. He almost died because he hasn't eaten in a couple of days. He has to get into a routine where he has three meals a day. He should know this by now. I've connected him to an IV so he should be conscious by morning." Mia walked over to the bed and sat in the seat next to it making a solemn vow to herself that she would make sure that Rodney got his three meals a day. Starting tomorrow.
A/N: Sorry about the shortness. I'm not sure what happens if you get hypoglycaemia shock or whatever. So sorry again if its inaccurate.
