One month later
“Honey, could you get that please? I’m afraid the pasta will boil over if I leave it alone for too long.”
Elizabeth closed the book she’d been reading and heaved herself off the couch. “Sure thing, sweetie.”
As she opened the door, she was startled for a fraction of a second by the three soldiers in front of it. The first one was a man she hadn’t seen since her marriage.
“Cam, it’s been too long.” She gave him a careful smile as scenarios of why they could possibly be here played through her mind.
“Dr. Weir.” He greeted her stiffly. “You are being recalled to the SGC immediately.”
Her eyes opened wide. “Excuse me?”
“I saved the pasta!” Came the joyous outburst from somewhere inside the house. Both Elizabeth and Cam looked inside the house to see John come to them with a grin on his face. “No pasta has managed to defeat John Sheppard yet.” His grin turned into a frown though when he saw the three Airmen in front of his door. “Cameron Mitchell? What brings you and your friends to our humble abode?”
“Dr. Weir is being recalled to the SGC immediately.”
“Excuse me?”
Cam couldn’t hide a small grin at their mirrored reaction. They really were a perfect match right now. Their slightly defensive stance was almost exactly the same too.
“What happened?” She asked.
“You will be briefed at the SGC.”
“Cam, cut the crap and tell us what’s going on.” John shot at him angrily.
The other man let out a sigh. “Can I come in?”
“Of course.” Elizabeth answered and motioned him inside.
“Stay.” Cam barked to the two other soldiers. They stood at attention and John slammed the door shut once Cam had entered.
“Spill it.” John said the moment the door had clicked in its lock.
“Sorry for the façade, guys, had to keep it up for those two. General Van Der Bild send them along as watchdogs.”
“General Van Der Bild?” John questioned.
Cam nodded. “A lot has happened in the year and a half you two have been away. He has taken over from General O’Neill and I can tell you that he’s an absolute pain in the ass. I’m quite sure I’m going to get reprimanded for talking to you like this when it was stated specifically that you would only get briefed at the SGC.”
“Sjeez.”
“What has happened that you need me for?” Elizabeth asked.
Cam sighed. “Something happened on Atlantis. We’re not exactly sure what as there are communication problems but from what I’ve heard, McKay said that Woolsey is completely inadequate to handle it and that they need you back in charge. Apparently there’s an old ally who wasn’t so happy to see you’re not in charge anymore and they instantly turned into an enemy, causing massive havoc.”
“Do you have any idea who it was?” John asked, mentally going over all their allies and who would be capable of doing this. For now only the Genii came to mind, but they had known of their departure. Ladon had seemed positively crushed by it.
Cam shook his head. “Not a clue. We lost communications before McKay could share that intel. Now the Deadalus is leaving in two days and we need you on it.”
“Hang on. She’s giving birth in less than three months and I don’t want her to be in an active warzone when that happens.”
Elizabeth was both touched and annoyed by John’s concern. “I’ll be fine John and besides, you’ll be there to watch my back right.”
“Right, I’m not leaving you out of my sight.”
“Euhm…” Cam cleared his throat. “Sorry to spoil your fun, but Van Der Bild clearly specified that only Elizabeth was allowed to return.”
“What?” John’s eyes shot daggers towards Cam.
“Easy, John. He’s only the messenger.” She put a hand on his shoulder and that seemed to calm him down instantly.
“Look, Cam, John gave up his life in Atlantis and his career in the Air Force to be with me. I’m not leaving him again.”
“Elizabeth.”
Cam was again amazed by the easy communication between them. They looked at each other for a few silent moments and then nodded so barely noticeable that he would have missed it if he’d blinked.
“John… I can’t…”
“Our friends need you. I’ll be here waiting for you.”
“I don’t want to do this without you.”
He looked at her intently for a moment.
“I want to go too, honey. But it can’t be done and we can’t refuse our friends help.”
“It can be done, John.” Resolve settled in her eyes as she turned to Cam. “I’m sorry to do this to you, Cam, but you can go back to that Van der Bild guy and tell him I’m not leaving for Atlantis without my husband.”
Cam gave her a small grin. “Wasn’t expecting anything else to be honest. I’ll give him a call inside the car. He’ll probably chew my nose off for talking to you, but I can take him.”
“Thank you.” Elizabeth said in all earnest.
The man nodded and stepped out of the house.
From the moment the door was closed again, John turned back to Elizabeth.
“Lizbeth…”
“John.”
He let out a sigh.
“Our friends will understand John. I’m six months pregnant and I don’t want to go gallivanting across the universe without my husband by my side. I left you once… I’m not leaving you again.”
He gave her a small smile and then wrapped his arms around her. “Last time hurt like hell because I never told you how I felt about you. Now it will still feel like a part of my heart is ripped away, but it won’t be so bad, because I know you love me too and because I can now call you my wife instead of just my best friend.”
He held her a bit away from him so he could look her in the eye. “If Cam comes back in with the news that they’ll only allow you back, then take it. Please. Go and save our friends. They never gave up fighting for us, you know.”
She nodded. “I know.” And pulled him into another hug. “I just can’t imagine giving birth to our son without you by my side. I can’t imagine raising him without you.”
“You’ll do just fine.” He assured her. “And our friends will take care of you. Carson will act all mother-henly. Teyla and Lorne will fight over babysitting rights. Ronon will be acting all over protective. I wouldn’t expect too much from McKay although he could still surprise you.”
She couldn’t help but smile. “I’m quite sure I can count on them all… but doing it without you just feels so… off.”
“I know.” He whispered and pulled her even closer to him.
“Honey, could you get that please? I’m afraid the pasta will boil over if I leave it alone for too long.”
Elizabeth closed the book she’d been reading and heaved herself off the couch. “Sure thing, sweetie.”
