When John started to laugh, Fred found herself giggling too. She felt a little bad for Rodney but he just didn't know when to shut up. He just kept talking. Nodding at Carson, she took the pills. Now that she thought about it, she was feeling a little tired and had a headache. She then looked over at John and smiled. "I am a little hungry," she said. "Bye Doctor McKay and Doctor Beckett."
"Bye and get plenty of rest," Carson called after them.
As they arrived in the dining hall, Fred saw Jennifer sitting by herself. She couldn't allow her friend to eat alone, so she invited her to sit with John and her. Jennifer was a little nervous about going on the mission the next day but said she was excited at the same time. Soon Teyla joined them and by the time they were finished with their meal, Fred was exhausted and wanted to go back to her room. After telling Teyla and Jennifer goodbye, she walked with John back to the living area. When they came to her door, she leaned against it and looked around.
"Do you have to go back to your own quarters or can you stay the night?" Fred quietly asked. She didn't know what the protocol would be now that they were on Atlantis. She'd spent every night with him since meeting him and she didn't think she could sleep without him by her side. "I'll understand if you have to."
