A/N: Thanks to everyone who has reviewed the last few chapters. I do not own Stargate Atlantis and all mistakes are mine. Enjoy, and please review.

I hate the night shift.

The infirmary is just so empty. Only Kate and I are on duty, it's just too quiet, it creeps me out.

Gemma goes off-world first thing tomorrow morning. She's going with Major Lorne's team to assist the people of Tirinus.

I have to admit I'm a little worried. Lorne's team never has the best of luck off-world, but Gemma is smart (sort of), I'm sure she'll be fine.

I sipped my coffee and span around in an office chair. Kate had just put Crispin and Kiara to bed; she smiled at me as she went into her office, presumably to finish some paper work.

Dr Beckett came in a few minuets later. He had a huge grin on his face that showed off those cute dimples of his.

"You look happy," I said.

"You!" his smile grew even wider.

I took another sip of coffee. "Me?"

He came and sat down in the chair opposite me and poured himself a cup of coffee. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Tell you what?" I asked, acting like I didn't already know. Yesterday Captain Beckett came into the infirmary as she was still vomiting and feeling like crap that had been crapped on (her words, not mine). Carson was attending to another patient, so I ran a few tests and told her that she was pregnant. About ten weeks along actually. She made me promise not to tell Carson.

"That my wife is pregnant?" he said, downing half the cup of coffee.

I raised an eyebrow. "There's this thing called doctor/patient confidentiality, sir. Ever heard of it?"

"Don't call me sir."

I smiled. "Congratulations, Dr Beckett. Have you told Tommy yet?" I asked.

"Please, call me Carson," he said. "We tried, but I don't think he understood. He is only two and a half."

I was about to respond when the infirmary doors whooshed open and Dr McKay walked in, holding a cloth to his bleeding hand. Carson sighed, obviously not wanting McKay to ruin his good mood. "Err, I have to go hold Laura's hair back while she throws up," he said, as he jogged out of the infirmary.

I rolled my eyes and made a mental note to get revenge on my boss later on. "What did you do now Dr McKay?" I put my cup of coffee down and led him over to one of the beds.

"Hurt my hand. What does it look like?" he snapped.

Resisting the urge to stab him with a needle I said, "How?"

"I dropped a beaker and cut my hand cleaning it up," he said, moving the cloth away to relieve a small cut.

I sighed. "It's just a scratch McKay."

He looked at me. Hmm, nice eyes, I thought. "Who are you anyway. Have we met?"

"Yes, we have. I'm Dr Fraiser, remember?"

He looked confused and scooted away from me. "What, you can't be. She's dead!"

I moved closer to him and took a closer look at his hand. "Cassie Fraiser. I'm Janet's daughter."

"Really? That's nice," he said sarcastically, wincing as I examined his injured hand. Typical McKay, he didn't even say that he was sorry that my mother is dead. Talk about being an insensitive jerk. How does his wife stand him?

I cleaned the cut and stuck a bandage on it. "Done," I said.

He looked at his hand and then at me. "And how am I meant to work like this?"

"That's not my problem, McKay."

He glared at me. "It will be when the city needs saving again and I won't be able to because I can't use my hand!"

I rolled my eyes again. "Then I guess we'll just have to rely to Zelenka and the other geeks."

Mumbling something about voodoo practising witch doctors, he got off the table and left the infirmary. I put away the rest of the bandages and went to see what Kate was up to. I knocked on her office door and waited until she unlocked it (she has the ATA gene to).

She was sitting on her desk with a cup of coffee and talking to that guy Gemma and I saw in the infirmary a few days ago. I think he said his name was Tony.

"Hey Cassie," she said.

"Hey Kate," I said, unable to take my eyes off Tony.

She got of the desk. "Cass, this my brother, Major Tony Costello. Tony this is my friend Dr Cassandra Fraiser."

Wait a minute, brother? Since when does she have a brother? She never mentioned a brother.

"Uhi," I could feel myself blush and prayed that Tony might be fluent in Zorganese.

Obviously not. "What?" he asked.

I blushed harder. "I mean, hi."

He smiled. "Hi," he said. "Tony Costello," he held out his hand.

After a few second I realised he wanted to shake hands and I introduced myself.

"I didn't know you had a brother, Kate," I said, tossing my hair back.

She looked surprised. "Really? I thought I'd mentioned him."

I shook my head. "So who's older?" I asked, leaning against the desk.

"Me," said Tony. "By three minuets."

I raised my eyebrows. "Twins?"

They both nodded. "Twins seem to run in our family," said Kate, indicating to the picture of Kiara and Crispin on her desk.

I wanted to ask if he was seeing anyone, but that would be too obvious, so I decided that I'd ask Kate later.

The three of us sat in Kate's office and talked about what we missed from Earth. Tony said that he missed his little brother while Kate said they could be in different realities and still be too close to each other. I wonder what that's about?

I said that I missed my friends at the SGC, particularly Sam.

I asked how long they'd been working with Stargate Command; they said about four years.

I looked at my watch and saw that my shift actually ended an hour ago. Gemma was leaving first thing in the morning and I wanted to see her off. I said good bye to the Costello's and left the infirmary.

I wonder what Tony thought of me? Must ask Kate tomorrow.
