"Do we have to?" Fred asked with a small laugh. She rather liked lounging around, naked, with her husband. But she knew Jennifer and Ronon wouldn't appreciate them answering the door without clothes on. "And, I love you, too, John." After giving him a deep kiss, Fred slipped out of the bed and put her pajamas on just in time for Jennifer to show up with Alex.
After Jennifer agreed to watch Alex for them the following day, she left. Fred and John gave Alex a bath and then settled her in her crib for the night before going to bed themselves.
The following morning, the three of them woke up and got ready for the day. After packing Alex's diaper bag, Fred and John headed down to the dining hall to eat breakfast. The mood at the table seemed a little grim and Fred felt bad for John and Rodney both. Neither of them could've known what they were doing.
Once Alex was settled with Jennifer, Fred walked to the lab with Rodney so they could grab their tablets and scanners. They then went down to the armory room and Fred grabbed her vest and P-90 (John had taught her how to shoot one a few months before). And once everyone was geared up, they walked down to the shuttle bay.
"John," Fred said as she fell in beside him. She reached down and squeezed his hand. "Just remember you didn't know so don't blame yourself, okay?" She could almost sense something coming off him but it was hard to tell.
When they got to the puddle jumper, Fred chewed on her bottom lip and looked at her husband. "Want me to drive?" she asked.
