"Nice pajamas," John drawled as they both leaned on the railing that ran along the window, looking down at Evan in the isolation room.
Astra gave him a funny look and refocused back on Evan. "You know you look like a naughty school boy in there, Ev," she said, slightly amused.
"Ew," John said looking at her. "Keep whatever kinky thoughts you two have to yourself. It was bad enough I caught the pair of you necking in the hallway the other day," John said, shuddering at the memory.
"We weren't necking, sir," Evan protested, blushing.
"It sure looked like it to me," John disagreed.
"It was our day off," Astra reminded him.
"Still necking in the hallways," John teased. "You need to stop doing that where other people can see you."
"You're just jealous. Not that you don't have an infinite number of alien babes to chase you, Kirk," Astra retorted.
"Hey!" John exclaimed indigently.
Evan looked up at them with concern and worry across his face.
"I'm just glad no one was hurt," his eyebrows raised. "I haven't sleep walked since I was ten."
Dr. Keller had entered the observation with Sam and Teyla.
"Can I go see him?" Astra queried Dr. Keller.
"Probably not for a while," Sam answered.
"Have you been having any nightmares, Dr. Owen?" Dr. Keller inquired.
"Yes," Astra admitted, surprised.
"What were they about?" Dr. Keller inquired.
"Ba'al," Astra answered.
"Well, that would make sense," Sam said thoughtfully. Sam remembered when Astra had been captured by Ba'al and made Host to his Queen. Lorne had been badly injured and spent some time in the infirmary and Jack had gone mad with worry over Astra's disappearance. It was then they had learned that Astra was his daughter from an earlier marriage. He never elaborated more on that bit about his past.
"Ba'al?" Dr. Keller said confused.
"Dr. Owen was a Host to Ba'al's Queen for over eighteen months," Sam explained.
"I'm still trying to familiarize myself with all the staff and personnel on Base," Dr. Keller explained. "Was Colonel Sheppard part of those dreams?"
"Yes," Astra confirmed confused.
"Why am I in everyone's dreams and not having nightmares of my own?" John asked.
"Can I please go see, Major Lorne?" Astra queried again.
"I'm afraid not. We're going to keep Major Lorne in isolation till we know the entity has left his body. I'm sorry, Dr. Owen. We need to think about the safety of the personnel on Base," Sam said.
"Than I'll go over there and talk with Lorne via the computer screen," Astra said, walking over to the computer screen, sat down in the chair and started talking to Evan in French.
John turned to see Dr. Heidi Brandtner walk into the room. Heidi sat down next to Astra and conversed with her friend and Lorne. The woman was Astra"s long time friend from the SGC, another linguist and archaeologist √both were Australian. Heidi was tall with long dark hair and brown eyes. Even after a couple of years dating and living together he still found her beautiful and sexy.
"Well, she is your girlfriend," John thought smiling at her.
