A lullaby woke him up next. The voice was Teyla’s, but the song was, this time, a familiar one.

“Singing Christmas carols now?” John asked as he opened his eyes.

Teyla smiled warmly. “John, I’m glad you woke up in time.”

She stepped aside and raised his bed slightly for him to have full sight at the infirmary. The whole place was beautifully decorated with Christmas theme, with a big tree and everything.

John raised an eyebrow at his team standing in the middle of the infirmary, snickering at the red hat on Ronon’s head. “Santa Ronon?”

Rodney sighed. “He must be still high up on meds.”

John couldn’t avoid the grin. “You did all this while I slept?”

“We were quiet.” Ronon shrugged. “Rodney only dropped one ball.” He shouldered Rodney’s arm.

“That wasn’t my fault! You made me lose my balance!”

“You were fifteen inches away from the floor, McKay.”

Rodney crossed his arms. “Fifteen inches is high enough to lose one’s balance.”

John rolled his eyes. “I’m sure it is.”

“Anyway…” Rodney flourished his hand. “We have food and presents and everything that is required to have a good Christmas party.”

“Really?” John perked up as he felt his stomach empty.

“Yes, We got something that tastes like chicken, something that looks like nuts, bread, cake…”

John was almost drooling by the time Teyla interrupted.

“Unfortunately, Jennifer insisted that you have this, John.”

John sniffed the bowl in Teyla’s hand and thought it smelled like… well, he wasn’t sure. “Soup?”

“She also said the bread and nuts are okay, but you can only have a little of each. She is afraid you will get sick with anything stronger.”

John nodded and looked up. He grinned at seeing Ronon forcing a hat to Rodney’s head, both struggling for a while before Ronon finally won.

“It’s okay,” John said. “Christmas isn’t about food anyway.”

It’s about family.

But... but... I just posted this prompt!! That was amazingly fast work :)
And aw, John doesn't remember getting sick. How could that have happened? :)
English is my second language and I've never posted fic before but I'll try to muster up some courage to post something here.

Thanks so much again, this was amazing!!!

This was really sweet. I loved the imagery of fever-induced shapes and colors of his team upon waking. This was lovely and warm :D

Thanks. I wanted to do something different than telling about the smells of the infirmary.

Loved the way John faded in and out for a while and the way his team was always there for him. I'm such a sucker for great team stories!!
