"Hey! Those are mine!" Rodney protested as Fred stuck her hand in his candy bowl, and took several red jelly beans. "Cait got them for me!"
"I know," Fred said before she popped one in her mouth, and chewed. "She told me you were having cravings. So when's your baby due?"
Radek, who was sitting across from them, snorted. However, when Rodney glared at him, the other man quickly ducked his head, and went back to what he was doing.
"It's not my fault, you know," Rodney pointed out before he looked down at his laptop. He typed a few things, then looked at Fred again. "The exact same thing could be happening to John right now."
"Not likely," Fred muttered before she took some more jelly beans, laughing when Rodney let out a small whine. "He's too much of a man."
Rodney burst out laughing, and continued to do so even though Fred was giving him a death glare. "John's whipped. You bat your eyelashes, and he runs over to you like a lost puppy," Rodney snorted.
With a small growl, Fred balled up her fist and hit Rodney in the arm. "He doesn't act like a puppy," she said.
"Hey! Don't hit me!" Rodney said, looking as if he was going to cry. "It hurts."
"All right," Radek said as he closed his laptop. "I'm getting out of here before the two of you try to kill each other like you did yesterday. I'll meet you in the Gate room in a bit for the upgrade."
"Bye, Radek," Fred said before she took some more jelly beans.
With a huff, Rodney grabbed his candy and moved to the other side of the table. The two of them had just gotten settled when Sam came in with the disk. Rodney rolled his eyes, and muttered something under his breath as Fred took the disk from her.
"Thanks," she said. "So how is Doctor Beckett doing?"
