That hurt. That hurt a lot.

But. Yeah.

[saldemonium]

I'm glad I was able to write something sufficiently angsty. But yeah, it hurt me, too. Poor boys.

*whimper*

[saldemonium]

*patpats* I know. But they're so fun to torture. ;)

Owww. Also, Katie never heard of birth control? Accident or deliberate, she's in for nothing but pain. Relationships founded on forcing someone into something, whether it's coercion or through their own idea of duty, don't have good odds. How is Rodney going to look at her, and worse, their child, after the first time someone dies in Atlantis and he knows, knows, it wouldn't have happened if he'd still been there?

Great story.

What she said. You said what I felt but you were eloquent about it. I just went - Nooooo ;)

[saldemonium]

Yeah, it's not a good situation for /anyone/ involved. Poor John and Rodney, but poor Katie too.

Oh God, poor Rodney and John!!

[saldemonium]

I know! *pets them* Thanks for commenting. =)

Oh, ow! Owie owie owie. 'Tis true, you never know what you've got till it's gone - and I can't help but wonder just how good a husband/father Rodney will make, obsessing over what he could have had with John.

[saldemonium]

And we know how Rodney obsesses over things. Poor boys.
