Fred gritted in pain as she tried to override the medical alarms. Her finger was throbbing in pain and blood was starting to drip onto the keypad. She was about to throw the tablet at Rodney when John suddenly showed up. "Rodney tripped over a cart and fell on the floor. He overreacted and hit the emergency button. I'm trying to turn it off," she said.
"I'll do it," Carson said as Jennifer and him came in. "I assume Rodney hasn't told you the codes yet." He shut them off and looked down at Rodney. "What happened?"
"I broke my back!" Rodney exclaimed.
Fred shook her head and went to stand by John. "I didn't do it this time," she said before she looked down at her hand. She wrinkled her nose a little. "I got a splinter, though."
With a soft sigh, she looked at John and gave him a small smile. "I'm sorry about earlier. I just got a little freaked out. I mean, I want to have a baby and I always have...it's just I didn't think I'd be having one out in the middle of space. My mind went into overdrive with everything. You know how I get when I'm upset. I start to think about all the scientific stuff. Sorry."
Fred looked up and saw that Jennifer was standing there, staring at them. "You're pregnant?" she asked.
"I think so. Callie said I was," Fred said before she reached down with her good hand and took John's into it. "I should probably take a test."
Jennifer nodded and led the two of them to medical. After Fred had given her a sample, Jennifer pulled the splinter out and bandaged it. She then went to check on the test.
"I'm going to be so glad to get out of here tomorrow and have a few days off," Fred sighed as she leaned against John, while waiting for Jennifer to return.
