Author's Summary:
Rodney McKay is brilliant enough to do this math: One night plus four months, times n for the weight gain, equals one fetus. And onward. Abicierum -- to give up, not to surrender.
Why This Must Be Read:
An interesting take on the usual 'what did you touch?' or 'aliens made them do it' tropes to get Rodney pregnant. It's all hand-waving and kinda-magical. So, just roll with it.
Rodney is pregnant and won't admit to who the other parent is and the references to 'self pollination' are funny. He's not totally sure but as you read on, he kinda suspects. And the reader knows before Rodney admits it to himself. (But the betting pool is fun!)
But then what do you do with a baby on Atlantis? Is it safe? What should Rodney do once he 'delivers' the baby? Even Rodney doesn't know what he should do.
It's an interesting solution where all of our favorite but emotionally repressed boyz have to actually use their words.
Cy_chase presents a good Keller here as a proper doctor, and a fun Ronon who is all about babies... it's a nicely done story and if you're a fan of mpreg, this is well worth checking out!
No one sees it coming; Rodney just gradually balloons over the course of several months. It's annoying, because his favourite pants no longer fit, then people start giving him funny looks. "Stress," he snaps when Zelenka looks at him the wrong way. "Stress, because I work with a bunch of rock-eating maniacs with no sense of decorum or self-preservation."
"We are only concerned for your health, Rodney," Zelenka drawls back, eyes fixed on his work. Rodney scratches a newly formed stretch mark under his ribcage and glares at the roof. It isn't that he's stopped working out-- although missions have dwindled for the last few months, he still spends a great deal of time running for his life and dodging deadly projectiles like a gazelle or a big-horned sheep. He even still does some sessions with Teyla, although they make his legs hurt from the arch of his foot all the way to his mangled kneecaps.
He gains five more pounds while picking at salads and glaring resentfully at his peers, and then goes to Keller. "I have a tumour," he announces. "Or a tapeworm. My high pain threshold may have prevented me from noticing its growth, but it's significantly hindering my mobility and health now. I feel faint."
He does, actually, for once, and sits hard on a medical bed to make his point. The world clenches before his eyes and he takes a shuddery breath. "Rodney?" she asks, the right sympathetic tone in her voice even though her eyes are doubtful.
"I may also be dying," he snaps.
