I still don't own SGA- MGM does. 507 words….sorry.


Jennifer sat on the toilet and tried to figure out how to tell Rodney he'd stepped over the line and was driving her dangerously close to the wrong side of the sanity-insanity border. As it was he'd driven her to seek refuge in the bathroom, the only place he wouldn't dare put…

She stiffened and then looked up and started scrutinizing the walls and fixtures in the room. After several minutes of intense examination yielded nothing out of the ordinary, she relaxed again.

Jennifer sighed and placed her hand on her abdomen, running her hand back and forth over the slight curve of her stomach. She was at that stage in her pregnancy where she could feel a difference but it wasn't easily visible to others. She already dearly loved the life growing within her, even if that life was the reason Rodney had done what he'd done and ended up fraying her nerves within an inch of their lives.

Jennifer's hand stilled on her stomach as she took a deep breath and stood up. She slowly walked to the door and closed her eyes for a second, then opened them as the door slid open. She walked out into the living room of their quarters, only to come to a stop a few feet from the bathroom door when she eyed the man driving her nuts- the man she loved- standing on a chair fiddling with something on the wall.

Before she could ask what he was doing he jumped off the chair and tossed something onto the couch. A look at the object revealed it to be one of the many mini cams that Rodney had set up in their quarters. Next to it on the couch were several identical cameras.

Jennifer's eyes moved up to focus on Rodney just as he turned towards her. He came to a stop when he saw her that was so abrupt she almost laughed.

"I'm sorry," he blurted out before she could say anything. He motioned around the room with his right hand as he added somewhat unnecessarily, "About the cameras. I shouldn't have put them up. I'm sorry."

Jennifer walked towards him until she could gently wrap her arms around his neck. "There's no need to apologize, Rodney." His arms slipped around her waist and she smiled. "It was just so… uncomfortable knowing my every move was being recorded."

"Maybe I went a little nuts," he agreed. At her smirk and raised right eyebrow he had to concede, "A lot nuts. I just… I don't want to miss a thing, and with all the crap that goes on around here I…," he paused and shrugged his shoulders, "…just worry, that's all."

All of Jennifer's anxiety and frustration melted away to be replaced by an overwhelming sense of love and affection. "I love you."

"I love you," replied Rodney, and with the sort of gesture she'd become used to seeing from him, Rodney reached over with his right hand and touched her belly. "And I love you, too."
