Two in the Bed
“Dr. Fraiser?”
Janet looked up from her paperwork to see Lieutenant Carmichael, the new nurse, standing in her office doorway. “Yes, lieutenant?”
He fidgeted, then said, “I’m really sorry, ma’am, I didn’t mean to be distracted, but one of the patients has left the infirmary without permission!”
“What?” said Janet.
That wasn’t right- SG-1 was still off-world, Sergeant Siler had been released that afternoon, Major Marks was still on heavy painkillers, and…
“Ah,” she said. “Nobody’s missing, lieutenant. Come with me.”
Janet swept past him out into the ward, the six-foot-tall nurse hurrying to keep up, and pulled aside a curtain.
“Doctor Flannigan-?” Carmichael began. “Oh.”
Levi was still asleep, his sprained wrist balanced carefully on his stomach, but Gryff had climbed into the bed beside him, twisted close in a way that was definitely not good for her bruised ribs.
“Hey,” Janet said, softly, and put one hand at the small of the redhead’s back to straighten her torso. “You can stay, but only if you behave.”
“Oh, okay,” Gryff muttered sleepily, allowing Janet to rearrange her. “We can go home tomorrow, right?”
“If you’re good,” said Janet. She tugged the curtain closed again, and turned to the startled nurse. “Carmichael.”
“They’re not…?” he asked, awkwardly.
The doctor smiled. “You’ll learn, lieutenant, that SG teams are very close. Gryff- Captain Gryffydd- is notorious for sneaking in with any of her teammates. Unless she or they are badly hurt, it’s really just best to let them be.”
“I…” the younger man said, glancing back at the bed. “Really?”
“SG-22 are… unique,” said Janet, and went back to her paperwork.
