Mia woke up bright and early the following day. Rodney had been discharged and told to change his eating habits. Mia had set her alarm on her watch for half past seven so that she could shower and change before she had to wake Rodney up. She quickly showered and got dressed. She walked into the little kitchen that was in Rodney's room, he had somehow managed to get a room with a kitchen, and tapped her earpiece. It was almost eight in the morning.

"Uncle John?"

"What is it Mia?" asked John.

"Are you and everyone going offworld today?" she asked him.

"Yes. Why?" he asked puzzled.

"What time?"

"Nine. Why?" he asked again.

"Oh I just want to make sure that uncle Mer is dressed appropriately. Ok. See you later. Gotta go." She said and switched it off before John could reply. She got out Rodney's favourite cup and filled it with four spoonfuls of coffee while she boiled the kettle. Once it had finished boiling she poured the steaming water into the cup and stirred as she walked up to Rodney's bed. She sat on her knees and waved the coffee cup under his nose. Within a couple of minutes Rodney was slowly waking up. "What's that smell?" he asked groggily.

"Coffee. Come on. Up." Mia replied. Rodney grunted. Mia rolled her eyes and said, "Come on uncle Mer. You have to shower and then get your breakfast."

"What time is it?" he asked her while taking the coffee from her hand.

"Nearly ten past eight. Come on. I will start your shower. Then you'll have ten minutes to shower and five to get ready." She said getting up and heading towards the little bathroom.

"Who died and made you boss?" he muttered. Then he heard the sound of water running. She came back out and smiled.

"Hurry up. We don't want to be late."

"Alright, alright already. I'm up, I'm up. Jeez. What about my coffee? I haven't finished it yet." She just tilted her head to the side and gave him a look. Sighing loudly he said, "Fine." He walked into the kitchen and tipped the last little bits of his coffee down the sink. Mia looked at her watch, "You have five minutes to shower now uncle Mer."

"WHAT!" he screeched as he ran into the little shower. As he was showering Mia got out his offworld clothes. This included his gun holster and tac vest and placed them on the bed ready for when he came out. Mia was in the kitchen tidying when he came out of the shower. "Your clothes are all ready out. Come on. Hurry up." She whined at him. He mumbled something that she didn't quite catch and she carried on tidying. Rodney came into the little kitchen in his clothes and she said, "Finally. Breakfast now uncle Mer."

"I don't eat breakfast."

"You do now. Come on." Mia said dragging Rodney by the hand out of the door. He grumbled all the way to the mess hall, where the rest of the team were waiting. She pulled him into the line and said, "No bacon. You either have cereal or scrambled eggs, with a piece of fruit, a bottle of water and a cup of coffee." Rodney looked at her in disgust. "Don't look at me like that. That's what the lady doctor said."

"I'll be having words with her." He grumbled as he picked up a plate of scrambled egg, an apple, a bottle of water and his second cup of coffee that morning. He trudged over to the table where Ronan, John and Teyla were sitting, Mia wasn't far behind him. John noticed immediately that Rodney looked grumpy.

"Good morning sunshine!" he said cheerfully. McKay just scowled at him. "Good morning Mia."

"Good morning uncle John, aunty Teyla, uncle Ronan."

"Morning. What's with him?" asked Ronan.

"I made him get up before nine. Oh and I told him he couldn't have bacon." Replied Mia while eating her cereal. John looked on in shock.

"You got him up and told him what to eat?" he asked dumbfounded. Mia nodded. "Hm…could this be about what the doc said about him the night you found him?" Mia nodded again. McKay looked scandalised, "What was said? Mia what have you done?" Mia looked up innocently.

"Nothing uncle Mer." Rodney rounded on John, "Sheppard? What was said?" John decided to play dumb, if Mia was on a personal mission to make sure McKay got his three meals a day and make him eat more healthily he wasn't about to stand in the way. "I have no idea McKay. Sorry."

"Your all against me. I will find out you know." Rodney muttered.

"No you won't. Now shut up and finish your breakfast." Mia said. She looked at her watch and said, "Its almost nine. What time will you be back?"

"Er…we should be back by four as usual. Why?" asked John. Mia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Just curious." They all stood up to leave and Mia said, "Uncle John can I ask a favour please?"

"Yeah. You go ahead. I'll be down in a minute." He said to the other three. McKay looked between Mia and John and said, "I will find out. Mia behave." He said and she rolled her eyes before turning to John, "Could you please make sure that he eats a power bar at 11 and 3? And that he has an MRE at 1?" John looked confused before saying, "Yeah I can do that. What's all this about Mia?"

"I want him to eat properly so that I don't find him cold. I've come up with a routine so that he doesn't miss any meals. Is that bad?" she asked him. John chuckled.

"No. That's not bad. It's about time he started to look after himself. What are you going to be doing today?" he asked her.

"Dr Radek said I could help him. And then miss Elizabeth is going to teach me about dipsomething."

"Diplomacy?"

"Yes that's it. Then I'm going to start my training with your marines." She smiled widely at his reaction.

"WHAT?" he asked in shock. Mia just grinned wickedly before saying, "Have a good mission uncle John. See you back at four." She walked out of the mess and headed towards the labs. John stood there for a few more minutes before his earpiece screeched to life, "Sheppard! Where the hell are you?" demanded McKay.

"Coming." He headed out of the mess hall and ran towards the gate room with a confused look on his face.

"What?" McKay said. John shrugged and said, "Nothing. Come on lets go."
