Title: Courtship (part 4 I think)
Pairing: McShep
Rating: G-PG
Summary: Poppa and Dad talk.
After a long walk to the infirmary and an even longer talk with Carson, I go to see my Poppa. I walk into his room and to my surprise, he’s awake. He lights up when he sees me. I stand there frozen looking at him, the IV's and the monitors keeping track of his heartbeat.
“Jamisters, come give your old man a hug,” he said sliding up against the pillows on his bed. I walk slowly and sit where he left me some room on the bed, wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my own face in his neck near his pulse, feeling his heartbeat. It’s very reassuring. I feel tears start to roll down my cheek then fall to Poppa's maroon scrub top. Poppa moves me so he can see my face.
“Oh... I'm ok Jamie, I’m still here,” he whispers and then hugs me tightly. We sit there hugging while I cry and Poppa comforts. We both look up at the sound of the curtain being pulled back and Dad walking in.
“Jamie, give me and you Dad a few minutes please,” Poppa asked letting me go. I wipe lingering tears off my cheek with the back of my hand and get off the bed. I walk out into the infirmary while Dad closes the curtain and then I move to move closer to the curtain so I can hear. There is silence for a moment and then I hear Dad walking and sitting on the bed. The mattress squeaks. Dad is sitting where I had just sat.
"This is why I wanted a lab position,” I hear my Dad quietly say. "I... We almost lost you,” he continues. Silence echoed for a moment.
“I know and I'm sorry Rodney but I’m head military. There’s nothing I can do here in Atlantis except go on missions and protect,” replied Poppa.
“I understand that John, but YOU could HAVE BEEN KILLED,” Dad says in a loud voice.
“You think I don’t know that Rodney!? I think about it every time I step through the gate. I think about Jamie, how this could be the last time, and I think of you…” Poppa clears his throat. “I still love you Rodney and no, not post-divorce friendship love. I mean I'm still in love with you. Close you mouth Rodney… Is it that hard to believe?” questions Poppa.
Silence, then the sound of face sucking.
'Lovely.' I think. I turn to walk away and walk right in to Carson, who had a smirk on his face.
“Come on, I’ve got some cookies in my office,” he said putting his hand on my back and leading away.
TBC.
