I promise to keep Rodney out of trouble, Carson said as Rodney shot him a look. Raising his eyebrows in response, he wrapped his arms around their wife. While he had been teasing, he knew how important it was for them to be careful. Not just for their little girls but for their unborn son and their wife too.
I love you too, John told Fred, holding her close. He didn't want to let his wife go, but finally he knew he had to, especially when Jack started complaining about all of them communicating mentally. We'll be back soon.
He saw Jack roll his eyes and snorted, shaking his head as they got up from their chairs.
"Come on. Daniel's right - let's get down to the locker room to gear up."
Heading down the tower to the locker room, the six of them suited up, John letting Paul borrow his extra flak jacket. While they were getting ready, Sam called down to let them know that the Daedalus had arrived. They needed to replace a few items and then would be ready to go.
Once they were done getting ready, they headed back up to Operations where they were teleported up to the ship. Caldwell and Weir were there to greet them.
"More Wraith?" Caldwell asked.
"Attack of the Clones more like," John said.
The other man raised his eyebrow at that. "Why don't we go to the briefing room and you can tell us all about it."
