ShadesOfWild: *laid up in the hospital bed, fussing with the oxygen thing stuck up her nose*
x Desala x: Aiden: *driving to the SGC, worried out of his mind*
ShadesOfWild: *holds out her arm so the nurse can take her blood pressure*
x Desala x: *gets there and gets to the infirmary* Kerri?...
ShadesOfWild: Nurse: She's in the observation bay, Lieutenant. *leads him back to Kerri*
ShadesOfWild: Hey... *smiles a little*
x Desala x: Aiden: John told me what happened....why would you try to do that?? Do you know I would be just....really...really upset. *swallows a lump in his throat*
ShadesOfWild: *sighs a little, and reaches out for his hand* I didn’t try to kill myself. *very softly* I promise you, I didn’t try to kill myself.
x Desala x: Aiden: then why did you do it, Kerri?
ShadesOfWild: *swallows and looks down* You ever known that something was so wrong that you'd rather risk dying, then go through with it?
x Desala x: Aiden: I honestly don't know....what are you talking about?
ShadesOfWild: *shakes head* Long...fucked up story. *eyes well with tears* Can you just...sit with me for a little bit?
x Desala x: Aiden: *nod* *gets a chair and sits down*
ShadesOfWild: *holds his hand tightly, very carefully rolls onto her side* They took my appendix out.
x Desala x: Aiden: holy crap...
ShadesOfWild: I asked if I could have it in a jar.
x Desala x: Aiden: *blink* Why?
ShadesOfWild: *small shrug* Thought it'd be neat. 'This is my appendix. I call him Steve.'
x Desala x: Aiden: *is a bit creeped out but isn't gonna say anything* Ok....
ShadesOfWild: *small, medicated smile* They sedated me.
x Desala x: Aiden: Ah, that would explain it....where's John?
ShadesOfWild: He went home to shower and bring some clothes and stuff up here. *points to what is obviously a two way mirror* I'm under observation for like...72 hours.
x Desala x: Aiden: Oh...well at least John will be here...I'm guessing something is wrong with you two...
ShadesOfWild: *small nod* We ended up in a situation where I felt that I'd have to give up my life...not literally, I mean...to make him happy. I couldn’t live with the thought, of not going off world.
x Desala x: Aiden: Wait....why aren't you going off world.
ShadesOfWild: I am...there was just...we thought I was pregnant...
x Desala x: Aiden: But you're not....right?
ShadesOfWild: *small headshake* Warner screwed up my tests, I'm not.
x Desala x: Aiden: Oh....so what now? *is really confused by all this*
ShadesOfWild: *shrug* I don’t know. My big concern is sleep, and the crap oozing out of my stitches. And spending time with my best friend. *squeezes his hand*
x Desala x: Aiden: *squeezes back* You know....you could have come talked to me...you know I would be there for you...
ShadesOfWild: I know... *lowers eyes and mutters* But I tend to go a little bit crazy, around you. I figure its normal, to be attracted to your best friend but...I'm notorious for screwing up. I don’t wanna drag you down too..
x Desala x: Aiden: Attracted....? whoa...I thought you were just playing around when you asked if I’d sleep with you....
ShadesOfWild: *blush* I was...but I still am...attracted. *coughs*
x Desala x: Aiden: Look...the truth is....I think I'm a little attracted to you. But I think our little crush on each other will pass.
ShadesOfWild: *runs her thumb over his knuckles* I hope so. Because the last thing I need, is to get my best friend shot.
x Desala x: Aiden: Yes. I know how protective Johnny boy can get.
ShadesOfWild: *grin* I'd protect you.
x Desala x: Aiden: *laughs a little* The last thing I need is for you to get shot.
ShadesOfWild: *blush* If I can swing it...hell, I don’t even know if they'll let me go to Atlantis...but I need a 2IC.
x Desala x: Aiden: If they would let me be your 2IC, I'd gladly take the job. we'd give the Wraith hell out there. *grin*
ShadesOfWild: *beams* That...would be awesome. I'd even let you name stuff. *wink*
x Desala x: Aiden: *chuckles* Sweet.
ShadesOfWild: Except for my Jumper. Because dude. Jumpers are love.
x Desala x: Aiden: I gotta give John credit for that one. Puddle Jumper is an awesome...unlike Gate Ship. *snicker*
ShadesOfWild: *giggles* He's a pretty good guy, Major Sheppard is.
x Desala x: Aiden: *realizes he is still holding Kerri's hand, awkward lets go of it and brushes the back of his head to play it off* yes. That is why you two are good for each other...I really hope you two work this out.
ShadesOfWild: *sad smile* Me too. But I don’t know. John wants a wife. Like a stay at home, raise babies, cook and clean kind of wife. I'm just...I'm too military for that. I plan to go off world until the day I die.
x Desala x: Aiden: If he really loves you, he'll understand that.
ShadesOfWild: *sighs* But I don’t want to rob him of that life, you know?
x Desala x: Aiden: But no one is perfect....I mean, doesn't he want you to be happy too?
ShadesOfWild: *nods a little* I think so...
x Desala x: Aiden: Then you should really tell him how you feel about this.
ShadesOfWild: *sighs and reaches for his hand again, feeling secure with him there* I know...I just want things to be easy, for once. My whole life is just a string of battles. Can’t something be easy?
x Desala x: Aiden: Nothing is easy, Kerri. I wish to God it was.....but what makes this just a little easier to deal with is someone who stays with you no matter what. And I would kill for that.
ShadesOfWild: *softly* You couldn’t get rid of me if you killed me. *sigh* I know it’s not the same...but I've got your six, you know? Even John can’t come between us. I swear to you.
x Desala x: Aiden: I know we'll always be friends...but I was talking about a girlfriend...but I’m not in a rush, really. when that special someone comes, I'll know.
ShadesOfWild: Definitely. She'll turn your world on its ear. *grins* Maybe you'll find you a nice alien girl.
x Desala x: Aiden: mmmm...maybe. Who knows? *shrug*
ShadesOfWild: She'll be blue. And have mad alien sex skills. *crinkles nose and laughs*
x Desala x: Aiden: Blue? I'm more partial to pink myself. *chuckles*
ShadesOfWild: Aww! Eww, bad mental image of a giant walking vagina. *slaps a hand over her eyes*
x Desala x: Aiden: *busts out laughing* you're so weird!
ShadesOfWild: *giggling madly* You started it, talking about pink girls!
x Desala x: Aiden: But I was SO not thinking of pink vaginas!
ShadesOfWild: *can hardly breathe* You...don’t like pink vaginas?
x Desala x: Aiden: I never said THAT. *wink* But I was just laughing about how off the wall that was. I was kidding about the pink part, anyway. blue is a nice color.
ShadesOfWild: *finally manages to contain herself* You're going to make me bust my stitches, man. *smiles a little* You're a lifesaver, you know that?
x Desala x: Aiden: Oooo, I'm sorry, I don't want to do that...*makes a face* Heh...yeah, I try. *small smile*
ShadesOfWild: So...hypothetically speaking, if we were trying to get you a ...lover... *grin* Who would you base as someone you're attracted to...hypothetically, of course.
x Desala x: Aiden: Well, she...or he, really doesn't matter....*clears throat* ...would be intelligent, funny, likes to have fun...easy going. Yup. *nod*
ShadesOfWild: What about...physically? Would they look like....John? *teasing*
x Desala x: Aiden: Doesn't matter...but hey, it'd be nice.
x Desala x: Aiden: *quickly* I'm not talking exactly about John, but someone as good looking as him.
ShadesOfWild: *nodnod, so not jealous, loves Aiden too much* Amen to that. He's a cute little bastard. But you're sexy as hell, yourself. What about...Sergeant Bates?
x Desala x: Aiden: oooo...no. I think I’ll pass on him. He's a bit of an ass.
ShadesOfWild: Good soldier, though. *nods* You want civi, or military?
x Desala x: Aiden: Doesn't matter, just as long as the military doesn't outrank me.
ShadesOfWild: *eyebrow raise* No way...I thought everybody had CO syndrome.
x Desala x: Aiden: Not me, especially if John's MY CO.
ShadesOfWild: Cheater. *grins* What about Dr. Beckett?
x Desala x: Aiden: Hmm...he's good looking...and I'm a sucker for accents, but last I heard, Teyla wants to be with him. She'd kick my ass if I try to make a move on him.
ShadesOfWild: Colonel Carter? *curious to see his reaction*
x Desala x: Aiden: Oh no! *laugh* She's too much of a control freak for me....although that would be a hell of a turn on in the bedroom...but no.
ShadesOfWild: Maybe you could just seduce her... *eyebrow wiggle, grins*
x Desala x: Aiden: No, I don't do casual, it's not me...that's why I never got with Lucia....*sigh*
ShadesOfWild: She means a lot to you, huh?
x Desala x: Aiden:....She does. Even though we'll never get together, she's a good friend.
ShadesOfWild: *takes his hand and kisses his palm* Girls are morons.
x Desala x: Aiden: *blushes madly at her palm kiss* Not you.
ShadesOfWild: Oh man, I am Queen of the Morons. *grins a little* But that’s ok, at least I realize it.
x Desala x: Aiden: Kerri...stop putting yourself down. you're not a moron. Ok?
ShadesOfWild: *pouts a little* Fine, fine. *cant help but smile* Thanks...for everything.
x Desala x: Aiden: No problem. *squeezes her hand*
ShadesOfWild: Doctor Heightmeyer? *wont give up on this*
x Desala x: Aiden: Um...no. She's a shrink. She's gonna try to analyze me all the time, I know how she thinks.
ShadesOfWild: *crinkles nose* Shrinks are bad. What about Stackhouse?
x Desala x: aiden: Stackhouse....maybe. but Grodin was his lover, and he died in the satellite explosion when the Wraith attacked, so he may not want to get into another relationship so soon.
ShadesOfWild: *nods a little* Everett? *shakes head* I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I wouldn’t wish Noah Everett on anyone.
x Desala x: Aiden: *sigh* woof! thank god, I wouldn't either.
ShadesOfWild: *giggles into her hands* How about...I don’t know, man...I still think Bates digs you.
x Desala x: Aiden: Heh...who knows? If he stops being a complete jerk, maybe I'll consider him.
ShadesOfWild: I don’t think he's a bad guy. You have to give him credit, for being brave enough to face John, because he thought John was wrong. *knows how scary Shep can be*
x Desala x: Aiden: Yeah, he's got nerve alright...
ShadesOfWild: It’s not a bad thing. Not all of the time. And trust me, you get two passionate people...and make up sex is...wow.
x Desala x: Aiden: Hehe. I bet. *grin*
ShadesOfWild: I'm serious though. Just...be aware next time you're in the room with him. He gives you the Look.
x Desala x: Aiden: OK....I'll think about it. Fair?
ShadesOfWild: *nodnod* that’s all I ask. *wants to play matchmaker, omfg*
