When Fred whispered in John's ear, he found himself immediately warming up, especially given the tone of her voice. Of course, those thoughts immediately veered off course as Alex called for their attention. While Fred get her out of her chair, John glanced over at Carter, seeing she was still on her call, her brow furrowing.
Before anyone could ask what was going on when she finished, she explained and invited Fred to go with her. John kissed her after taking Alex from her. He took Alex's little arm in his hand and waved it. "Bye, Mommy."
After they were gone, Ronon and Jennifer took Alex and headed out with her and Callie back to their quarters.
"Want to go check out the Game?" Rodney asked after Laura left since she was on the evening shift in Operations.
"Are you going to show off that stupid statue again?"
He seemed to think about this for a moment. "All right, I won't."
"Okay. But just for a little while. I want to meet Fred when she and Carter get back."
