Chapter 3

Beckett was in his work rooms for most of the day and well into the night. That day their had been 3 broken bones, two cases of the flu, a cold, need for a pregnancy test and Rodney's semi daily visit. He had set the bones, isolated the flu, and prescribed orange juice to the cold. The pregnancy test turned out positive, so the woman jumped up and down shouting; she was saying something about needing to talk to Weir. He barely noticed.

After shooing off McKay, Beckett worked on his Wraith G-nome project, with the affiliate projects for the Wraith 'cure'. He worked long into the night. He didn't even notice when his assistant left some food for his dinner.

And then he was alone. It took him a minute to realize it, but looking he really was completely alone. Grinning from ear to ear, he set in his MP3 player in his speakers, set it on random and let it play. The first song was one for Angels and Airwaves, even though it was a little more techno then he liked, he still enjoyed it. It wasn't long for him to start singing along to the music under his breath, and dance a little as he worked.

It wasn't till he nearly ran into Zalenka that he realized what he was doing.

"Good God Carson! Watch what your doing!" Radek caught the vial of pure anti- Wraith virus before it hit the ground.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Carson took the vial from him and set it in a slot of a holder. "What can I do for you Radek?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing Carson." The Russian raised a knowing eyebrow.

"What are you on about?"

"Carson, something is wrong. You're not sleeping enough, if at all. You're so involved with your work that your girlfriend broke up with you and you didn't care. You haven't yelled at Rodney in weeks," he picked up the untouched plate of food. "And you're not eating!" The Russian raised his eyebrow again.

"I'm fine, really," Carson said as he turned away form his friend.

Radek sat in one of the stools with a plop. "Well I'm afraid that is not good enough Dr. Beckett. I won't leave till you tell me what's on you mind." His gaze soften a little. "All of us are worried about you."

The doctor sat in front his friend. "Fine, I'll talk, but you are not aloud to tell anyone." Zalenka nodded. Beckett took a deep breath.

"I'm bi."

Zalenka looked confused. "I am unfamiliar with that term."

"It means that I like the lasses and the lads."

"Oh."

Carson started to stand. "Maybe this was a bad idea."

Zalenka placed a hand on Carson's shoulder forcing him back down.

"I promised I wouldn't tell. And I really don't care about your prefaces. If you most know I like Rodney's company better than Ms. Carter's" He winked.

It was Carson's turn to simile. With a deep breath he told Zalenka everything. Michael, the dreams, how it felt when Michael entered his thoughts—everything.

Before Zalenka had time to say anything, the city's internal alarm went off. The two looked at each other and ran for the gate room.

They got to the gate room, skidding to a halt. They were the first ones there. Zalenka ran over the displays quickly. His face went from shock to horror. Weir, Sheppard, and McKay ran into the room.

"Rodney look at this," ordered Zalenka. McKay looked at the display, then back up at Zalenka.

"This can't be right," McKay whispered hoarsely.

"Rodney, when have the both of us been wrong?"

Weir cut in. "What the hell is happening?"

Radek turned to her. "Another Hive is headed to Atlantis."

"So we gas the ship with the virus and drop them of somewhere," said Sheppard.

"That is where you wrong Colonel Sheppard," snapped McKay. He had his laptop open on the consul. "That ship," he pointed to the display. "Is the same ship that fired on us when we were destroying the Wraith camp!"

A/N: Oy vey! That was long . But I'm going to HAWAII so I'm going to give you the new chapter now sweet right? Please read and review.

NEXT TIME- Ja'tent is on to Michael about Beckett and a meeting of the minds on the Wraith Ship.
