Summary: It's an anniversary...
Spoilers: Set in the future, so no, don't think so.
A/N: I like pink. I really do but we threw the dice and it choose pink. Sorry *hides*
John's steps slowed down as he neared her office. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he watched Elizabeth, the woman to whom he had been married for ten years, sorting through a mountain of PDAs.
The smile faded a little as he remembered their tenth anniversary. Everything had been perfect but then... He sighed and tugged at his shirt.
Cautionly he stepped inside and knocked on the doorframe.
"Doctor?"
Elizabeth looked up. "General? Can I help you?" Her eyes slowly moved his body up and down, until they met his. She raised an eyebrow.
John shuffled on his feet, her look making him nervous. "I..." He cleared his throat and straightened up. "Ma'am, I'm here to escort you."
The eyebrow rose higher and John had no other chance but to use the full power of the Sheppard smile. She stood up and walked up to him, all the while looking him in the eyes.
"And to where do you plan to escort me?"
John's grin widened as he saw the twinkle in her eyes.
"To your party. Ma'am."
Elizabeth reached out and caressed his chest. "No pink?"
"No pink."
She patted his arm as she linked her hands. "Except you shirt. Should teach you a lesson, John." The full force of the famous Elizabeth grin hit him and he could only chuckle.
"It did, Ma'am. Never again a pink anniversary."
He sneaked an arm around her middle and snatched her out of her office, down to the party. Even if he had to wear a pink shirt, he was still the luckiest man in Atlantis because for one full minute now was he married eleven years to his beautiful and wonderful wife, Dr. Elizabeth Sheppard.
"Happy Anniversary, honey."
