Reading Time: 27 MinutesPART THREE The party seemed out of place but neither John nor Rodney had it in them to deny the rest of the family the time especially when Sebastian seemed to get a little more excited as each guest arrived. John had no clue why there were five different kinds of cake and Sean blamed ‘the women’ and wouldn’t say which ones exactly. There was a stunning amount of food, beer, and people in his house and he found himself moving from group to group with McKay talking to them. “When did this become our life?” Rodney asked as they extracted themselves from a group of scientists from Area 51 and started towards the freaking President of the United States who was chatting with the Prime Minister of Canada and Sebastian. “The President is in our house.” “I know,” John said with a sigh as he pressed his hand against the small of McKay’s back and urged him across the room. “It’s insane. Good afternoon, sirs, I hope you’re enjoying the party.” “Always a pleasure to be in Colorado, John,” Henry Hayes said with a little laugh. “Your son is an amazing asset to have—he’s caught me and Jean up on all of the gossip about the majority of the people in this room. I think he’s smarter than the man I have in charge of the CIA.” “Of course he is,” Rodney muttered. “And don’t even think about trying to recruit him.” He held out his…

But, hey, these words are mine so don’t steal them and say they are yours. * * * * – The day John Sheppard had walked back into his life remained one of the best in his life. It had been several weeks after the Atlantis expedition had returned to Earth and Rodney hadn’t seen half the personnel that had survived in person. They’d been sequestered, protected from the political maneuverings of the IOA. Jack O’Neill had been vicious and unapologetic in his defense and sheltering of them—both the military and civilian personnel. Debriefings had been careful, controlled, and rigidly monitored by seasoned SGC personnel and hostility from the IOA had been met with stalling tactics on a level few on Earth had ever seen. Colonel John Sheppard had emerged from the process as the…

Reading Time: 36 MinutesPART TWO “NO! Don’t! Don’t touch me!” Patrick Sheppard jerked awake in an instant, decades of military training making him reach for his gun without hesitation. He was in the hall way seconds later, facing a few of security personnel and his son, David.

Sebastian also has a safe word he can call…
