Tamara smiled as she finished the last of her notes for the day. Two years on the Destiny and she finally felt like a real doctor. TJ looked around the room and sighed as she realized her daughter was not tucked into bed beside her. She got up and went to see if she could fine Dr. Rush. She found him walking around one of the control rooms, a certain one year old girl, sound asleep on his shoulder. It was funny, Nicolas had become more of a father to her little girl than Colonel Young ever would be.

"Stop staring Tamara" Nicolas said softly "This is nothing you haven't seen before"

"True but it makes me stop every time" TJ replied

Nicolas smiled as he walked over to TJ and softly kissed her. TJ smiled as they parted and gently pulled her daughter off his shoulder and into her own arms.

"Put Lissy to bed and go to bed yourself" Nicolas said

"What time did Alyssa go down?" TJ asked

"Two hours ago. An hour after I took her from you"

"Sorry. I got caught up"

"I understand. I'll come kiss her good night"

TJ smiled as she walked to her quarters and gently laid her daughter down. The little girl stirred for a moment before falling back to sleep. TJ had just begun to lay down when she heard and sharp knock on the door. She quickly answered it and glared as she stepped past Colonel Young and moved into the hall.

"Can I help you sir?" Tamara asked sharply

"I came by to see my daughter" Everett replied

"The daughter you wanted nothing to do with when I was pregnant? Or the daughter you wouldn't hold or see as a baby? Or perhaps the daughter you refused to acknowledge when we used the communication stones and talked to General O'Neill and the IOA?"

"TJ…"

"No. You wanted nothing to do with me or her. Why should you get to be a dad now that you want to? Fatherhood isn't something to choose to do when you want."

"She's my daughter Lieutenant"
"Fine you want to see her, we will set up a schedule. But right now she is asleep and your not waking my baby girl up"

Colonel Young turned and stomped off, pushing Dr. Rush as he walked past. Nicolas looked at Tamara as he came to a stop next to her and kissed the side of her head.

"He wants to see his daughter" Tamara said softly "I told him we could set up a schedule"
"You did the right thing angel. Tamara, love it's going to be ok" Rush said as he held her

"I hope so"

"It will be. Come on. Lets get to bed and we will think about this in the morning"

TJ nodded and smile before leading Rush into her quarters and smiling as they laid down together and fell asleep quickly.
