Searching for wayward wives and playing moving service...I got three PhDs for this?

Rodney was halfway to the group room when he realized it was late morning and she wasn't likely to be there. Easily solved. He tapped his comm.

"MacGregor, this is McKay. Where are you?"

Rodney smiled at Rachel. "I'm glad I make you feel safe." He kissed her forehead gently.

His eyes light up when she tells him where the hand device is. "Really? Oh wow!" Rodney winces. "Er...sorry. But. Well. They wouldn't let me play with the goa'uld tech at Area 51. Except the Stargate and naquada generators.

"Okay, I'm not arguing. I just want to make sure you're okay and certain that you want to come." Rodney nodded when she turned down the offer to stay with them. "Well, you can always use my private room. I don't mind. I usually sleep in the group suite anyway. Only keep the private room for when Caldwell comes. He's twitchy about the new regs still."

Her hand in his, the feel of their rings clinking softly, does something for him he never thought it would. He has a wife and she loves him and he loves her and it's so unbelievable that a woman could do this to him. "No, no. Store it in my private rooms. In fact, consider them yours if or until you find a new set of rooms."

He tries not to show how excited the thought of finding ZPMs makes him, but he's sure it shows. "Good. That's good. ZedPMs are always good."

A thought comes to her. "Don't... Don't take anything apart just yet, though. We might be able to use it to get Ba'al. In fact... we should get together with John and some of the others to figure that out." Her eyes went cold for a second. "We should get him while we can still surprise him."

It's sweet, his offer of his rooms. It proves how much he does love and trust her, to stay among his private items that he keeps to himself... "Thank you. I'll do that. It's not as far to carry things anyway, then. I don't have much I need." She squeezed his hand a little tighter. "If... If you see that blue dress... I want it destroyed. I don't care how, please..."

Rae listens to Rodney comm Carson to meet them at the rooms with some boxes and a cart. She bumps shoulders with him as they walk and he gets excited about the ZedPMs. Surely she can find something to thrill him, get some use out of what that thing did to her. "I'll start reading soon." Her eyes went wide and she stops for a moment, turning to him. "I... You don't have to do anything with whatever I find, Rodney. It's not like what she planned, I... No false leads... I just want to *use* whatever she did to me for *something* good..."

He reassures her he knows the difference, and they continue towards the place she used to call home.
