A/N: I decided to do a quick chapter from Gemma's POV. I would also like to thank everyone who reviewed the last three chapters. I do not own Stargate Atlantis and all mistakes are mine.

Gemma's POV

So much has happened to me in the last few weeks.

First was my graduation from medical school. I'm now Doctor Gemma Williams. My roommate and I through a massive graduation party with all of our friends and family. Well, I invited my family, poor Cassie's adopted mom died a few years ago and sadly has no family left.

About a week later, Cassie's friends threw her another party at the base where they work. It was a surprise party, so she didn't know about it (duh). While she was there one of her friends offered her a job. She was offered to work as a doctor in the Lost City, aka Atlantis. I know, Atlantis! It actually exists. Although just not on Earth. It's located in some place called Pegasus.

Cassie called her General friend and was able to get me security clearance, so three days later we were on a real space ship flying in something called hyper space.

There's also aliens. They exist! Except they're not green, they're grey and are called Asgards. They seem to be a friendly race and everybody likes them. They have names as well. The one on the space ship is called Hermiod, and he walks around naked. I never did ask Cassie why I couldn't dress them.

Another thing I was told is that Cassie is actually an alien from a planet called Hanka. Seriously, I've been living with an alien for my entire time at med school and I never even knew it. How could she not tell me something as important as that?

Atlantis is amazing. It's huge and the interior is fantastic. Cassie and I are in rooms opposite each other. We had a really cute air force Major show us around, but unfortunately he has a girl friend and two kids.

We had to go to the infirmary to have some sort of blood test performed. One of the nurses is the cute air force Majors girlfriend. They have two adorable children. Crispin and Kiara Costello Lorne, they're twins. Kiara looks like her mother and Crispin looks like his father.

A day later we went to get the blood test results. It turns out that I have some funky mutant gene that enables me to use certain alien technology. Apparently half the people in the city have it, but only forty per cent of them have it naturally.

Cassie, being from another planet, didn't have it, so Dr Beckett gave her a drug that is supposed to deliver the missing gene to her cells. We should know in about a day or so if it worked.

Dr Elizabeth McKay, the leader of the city, gave us the week off to settle in. She also gave us standard Atlantis issue laptops, but Cassie, being a computer whiz, was able to rewire them and give them three times the maximum memory.

There was a knock of the metallic door of my quarters. "Come in," I called.

The door opened and Cassie came in dressed in a black uniform shirt and black trousers. She looked like she was a spy ready for a mission. "Hey," she said as she flopped down on my bed.

"Hey Cass," I smiled. "What's up?"

"I'm bored. I thought we could rate all the hot guys on the base," she said. Cassie is slightly boy crazy.

I rolled my eyes and pulled her off my bed. "If we did that, it would take days. Why don't we go for a walk around the city?" I suggested, already half way out the door.

Cassie followed me and we walked down the dark corridor. All of the doctors and nurses quarters are on this corridor, I think it is because they are right around the corner from the infirmary. I wonder if the scientists quarters are near the labs.

Cass and I were heading for the mess hall for lunch. We turned off from the doctors quarters corridor and stopped when we saw a small boy of about two running in front of us.

"Is that Dr Costello's son?" asked Cassie.

I shook my head. "No, Crispin is with Lorne in the gym."

I chased after the boy and picked him up. He smiled thinking it was a game. The boy looked oddly familiar, with icy blue eyes and light brown hair. He was blowing bubbles, drool dripping down his chin. He looked like the boy in the picture Dr Beckett showed us the other day.

"Come on," I said to Cassie. "I think I know who's he is."

We walked back up the corridor and knocked on the door that said 'Beckett's Room'. Dr Beckett opened the door and raised his eyebrows when he saw me carrying his child. "Tommy," he sighed.

"We found him running down the hall," I explained, handing Tommy to him.

He smiled at the child. "Laura, would you come here for a minute?" he called.

The marine that we saw in the infirmary came to stand by Dr Beckett. Her blonde hair tied back in a high ponytail. She looked at Tommy and then at her husband. "He didn't escape again did he?" she asked. He nodded.

"I'm sorry," she said. "I don't think we've been introduced. Captain Laura Beckett."

Cassie smiled, but I could tell she was miffed at the fact that Dr Beckett was married. I think they make a cute couple. They say opposites attract. How much more opposite can you get than a marine and a doctor. One's job is to end lives, the others is to save them.

"I'm Dr Gemma Williams," I said.

"Dr Cassie Fraiser."

"I'm sorry about Tommy," said Dr Beckett. "The lad has a strong ancient gene. He must have mentally opened the door with out us realising."

I smiled. "That's OK."

Captain Beckett was curious. "How did you know he was ours?"

I shrugged. "The blue eyes I guess."

I tapped Cassie's shoe with mine as if to say 'This is your chance. Say something. Make him think your cool!' but all that came out of her mouth was, "Hgyutds."

I sighed. This always happens when she's around guys she likes. The evil Lula the Alien Girl from planet Zorg takes control her body. Lula's vocabulary is fairly limited, only knowing about five or six words.

Before Lula had a chance to humiliate Cassie further, I said, "Well, best be off. See you at work Dr Beckett. Nice to meet you Captain," and then dragged Cassie away.

"Stupid Lula," she said, as she hit her head against the wall.

I put my hand against the wall to stop her from giving herself a concussion. "Next time you see a guy you like, think of George Thrower," I said.

George Thrower was a geek we went to med school with. He had these huge think glasses, braces and was covered in acne. Not the most attractive look.

Cassie smiled and nodded.

"Good," I said. "Come on, let's go to the mess hall, I'm starving."

The mess hall wasn't hard to find. We just followed the smell of eggs. At least, I think they were eggs. I hope they were eggs.

We grabbed a plate of what-I-hope-were-eggs and something that looked like potatoes and went to look for a table to sit at. The place was really crowded.

There were tables of scientist geeks, tables of military grunts, tables of doctors, but there was no room.

"There is room here," said the Voice From Behind.

We turned around and saw Dr Costello with Kiara and Crispin sitting with a woman with tanned skin, brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She was also holding a child. She was obviously the woman's daughter. The resemblance was uncanny.

"Hey guys," said Dr Costello, using Crispin's hand to wave. "There's room for two more."

Cassie and I smiled and sat down. "Hey doc," I said as I examined the 'potatoes'.

She fed Crispin some baby food and said, "Please, call me Kate. Teyla, these were the doctors I was telling you about."

The other woman smiled warmly. "It is a pleasure to meet you. I'm am Teyla Sheppard," she said. "And this is Zoey," she indicated to the child sitting on her lap.

We introduced ourselves and Kate asked Cassie to feed Kiara while she fed Crispin. Except Kiara didn't seem to like mushy pea baby food and vomited it up all over her brother a few minuets after Cassie handed her back to her mother.

It turns out that Teyla is an alien too, so she and Cassie spent what felt like hours talking about their home worlds. Teyla's was destroyed by the Wraith. I mad a mental note to find out more about them.

Apparently Teyla was also the leader of her people; they now live on the mainland somewhere on the planet.

After lunch, Teyla went back to her quarters to put Zoey down for a nap. Kate went to find Major Lorne to see if he was free to look after the twins and Cassie and I went to find out more about the Wraith.
