Read the comments and was about to think I was eminently weird. Then I read a few who felt kind of as I did. I loved this and I could just hug Rodney to pieces. But, this fic made me feel afraid. I think Rodney was afraid as well. He didn't associate it with fear just an uneasy feeling of needing to be near his mom and to protect Jeannie. Children have a second sense about some things and Rodney's 'spidey senses' were buzzing big time. Even in the second part, he was feeling the same uneasy signals from Teyla, but still had not associated them with a solid threat. This was superbly written and so subtle that the warm fuzzies almost, almost covered the sinister elements. Great work! Well done! Thanks for sharing. Read you later....k
