Later after Astra and Evan had made love, she was curled up in his arms. They'd been talking for a while though they were both exhausted; yet neither of them could sleep.
"I'm so glad you're okay," Astra said quietly.
"I guess I owe Ronon one for having his gun on stun, not kill," Evan replied softly, stroking her hair.
"We are lucky that Ronon had his gun set to stun," Astra agreed.
Evan chuckled. He rolled over and kissed her on the lips, his hands exploring her body. When his headset went off, he groaned into Astra's hair. She closed her eyes; hugging and kissing him gently.
"We can finish this later," She murmured.
"I'll see you later," Evan whispered, giving her another kiss.
Evan dressed quickly and headed down to the infirmary for duty.
"Colonel Carter," Evan said. "Reporting for duty."
"Sorry for interrupting anything, Major Lorne," Sam apologized. "Since you're the XO you had a right to know what's going on."
"You didn't interrupt anything" Evan assured her, feeling his face turn slightly pink.
"So you guys get any sleep?" Sam inquired innocently.
Evan just looked at her, remembering how she used to be at the top of the rumor mill back at the SGC.
"That's classified information," he remarked.
Sam laughed, despite what was happening. "It's good to see you two happily married after all these years, Major Lorne," Sam complimented.
"Thanks. It's been pretty tough going," Evan admitted. "So how you doing with the new job promotion to Atlantis?"
