Laura had been getting irritable for the last couple of months and was snapping at everyone. She had scared Mia so much that Mia was now living with McKay…again. Evan walked into the lab and stood there. Laura was now massive and she could barely get close to her desk. Evan cleared his throat. Laura turned on him, "What?" she demanded.

"Have you thought that maybe you should now be resting instead of making assistants cry?" Laura looked around, "I don't see any crying assistants. Do you?" she demanded.

"That's because they are all hiding from you. Most of them are now avoiding the lab. Also they keep coming up to me demanding that I make you leave the lab and not come back until you've had the twins."

"Well what do you think?" Laura asked him, then added, "Answer carefully if you know what's good for you." Evan just looked at her and then left the doorway. "Where the hell are you going!" Laura shouted after him. Evan heard her screaming after him but ignored her and headed towards the infirmary. He was really hoping it wouldn't have resorted to this but he had no choice. People were beginning to think that Laura and Rodney had swapped personalities. It was frightening. Lorne walked through the infirmary doors to see Sheppard sitting on a bed nursing a sore knee. "What happened to you sir?" Lorne asked him. Sheppard winced and said, "Teyla." Lorne nodded and said, "Ah." Teyla was also very cranky and hormonal but at least Laura was easier to deal with she wasn't lethal with sticks…yet. Lorne walked to Beckett's office door and knocked.

"Colonel? Is everything alright?" Beckett asked him. Lorne shook his head, "No."

"What is it lad?"

"Laura."

"Hormonal is she?" asked Beckett trying his hardest not to laugh.

"HORMONAL?" Lorne bellowed suddenly, "There's crying assistants…again. People think that her and McKay have swapped personalities. Hell even McKay is scared of her! Do something!" he begged the doctor.

"Alright. It appears I have two people to visit." Just then Sheppard said from the doorway, "Best take reinforcements and Ronan. Just in case." Lorne nodded in agreement. Beckett looked at them and said, "Are you two offering?" Lorne looked at Sheppard and Sheppard looked at Lorne and they both turned to Beckett and said, "HELL NO!"

Beckett had been looking for the girls for around an hour when he finally found them in the mess hall. They were sitting near the windows laughing. Beckett swallowed and walked over to the women. "Laura. Teyla. How are you both feeling?" he asked suddenly nervous. He knew what both women were capable of. Teyla looked at Laura and Laura just nodded.

"We are both fine Dr Beckett. Shouldn't we be?" she asked sweetly. Teyla doing anything sweetly just wasn't normal. "Well I've been hearing things lately that the two of you are…how can I put this? A little temperamental?" he said and backed away slightly. This just made the girls laugh harder. He was starting to lose patience now. "What's so bloody funny?" he demanded, he turned to Teyla, "I've got your husband in my infirmary nursing a sore knee." He turned to Laura, "And I've got assistants on the verge of a nervous breakdown, not to mention a very frightened husband asking for help. Also in the infirmary." Laura just started to laugh and then looked at Carson before stopping and saying, "We're sorry Carson. Honest. But you have to understand those husbands you feel so sorry for have for the past six months have been like overbearing parents. So last month we decided to get a little bit hormonal in the hopes that they would you know…leave us alone." Laura looked sheepish and turned away under his stare.

"You did this for some peace?" he asked incredulously. Teyla then said, "Yes. Its also working." Laura nodded in agreement. Beckett sighed and said, "Alright. You are right. But they are only worried about you. However I won't say anything. But you've got them in a right state. At least you're both due at the end of the month. God help us." He smiled at both of the women and left them to it. He had to admit at least to himself that it was an ingenious plan although he would never admit it to them of course.

Laura was practically screaming the infirmary down. Beckett had found her a couple of weeks earlier and had told her that they would be inducing her. When she had asked why she had been told that it was just because she was having twins. She had told Evan and he had gone into overdrive following her everywhere. Which Teyla had found very amusing. Now she was squeezing Evan's hand so hard she felt the bones crush in her grasp. This was nothing compared to the pain that she herself was going through but at least she had something to do. A couple of hours later Laura had given birth to two twin boys. They had already decided on the names Phil and Jack. Laura was fast asleep when everyone had come in to see how things were going and Lorne was nursing a very sore hand. A week later Teyla gave birth to a bouncing baby boy named Joey Tagan.

A/N: In the next chapter I'm gonna skip a few years so that I can avoid the baby and toddler years. Thanks for sticking with me. Very sorry about the slow updates.
