As Carson when to work on Elizabeth, Fred sat down and rolled her eyes when Alex showed her leg to John. She was about to tell him what Alex was doing when she fell but couldn't before Carson came back out. "Do you think she'll even wake up?" Fred asked him.
"Aye. I think she'll be fine," Carson said before he excused himself.
"I called Bates and he's going to put a security detail on Weir's room for now. We have no idea what she's capable of, even with the alien parasite in her," Sam said.
Fred didn't want to think of Elizabeth as evil but she agreed with Sam's decision to get Bates in there. Just then, Rodney walked in and his eyes widened when he saw Laura.
"What happened?" he asked as he rushed over to her.
"Was in the sun too long," she said as Jennifer can out with three small tubes of aloe vera. She hand one to Laura and one to Fred, and kept one for herself.
"Let me help you with that," Rodney said as he took the tube and opened it.
"Me too! Owie!" Alex said while she pointed to her leg.
Fred snorted a little, amused by how much Alex was milking a small scrape on her knee. "Why don't we tell daddy what you were doing when you fell," Fred said. Alex gave her a pouty look and hid her face. "When I told her it was time to come back, she told me 'no' and tried to run off, and tripped. Isn't that right, Alex?"
"Yes," she said before she looked up at John and gave him a wide-eyed look. "Mama mean!"
Shaking her head, Fred looked over at Rodney. "See what I mean? Colors on a computer won't always do the trick. She's not even two and she's already trying to divide and conquer us," she said before she looked at John. "You aren't falling for her cuteness, are you?"
She wasn't mad if he was. After all, Alex was adorable and Fred knew there had been times when she allowed their daughter's cuteness to get to her too.
