Todd and the queen remained in their quarters for awhile, interrupted in their discussions about how things went with Woolsey and the others by a marine opening the door and delivering the good news. Rogue would be all right.

It was a relief for both of them, but Todd more so of course. Now that that worry was over, and Atlantis had been brought up to date on what happened, he decided it was best he be flown back to the hive so that he could take his turn in hibernation for a week. He really didn't like the idea of leaving the queen alone, but this couldn't be put off much longer. His exhaustion was beginning to tell.

He talked with the queen awhile more, telling her what ought to happen while he was away from her. Rogue would be her consort as it was likely she'd be out of the hospital before he was out of the pod.

A little convincing of their guards to let them see Rogue, they were taken to the hospital.

Dinner was just being brought in for the patients and while Beckett knew what was wrong with her, he'd insisted on keeping Rogue over one night to monitor. The doctor was surprised by the visit but allowed the pair to talk to his newest patient.

"Rogue love, you have visitors." he smiled, Todd and the queen following him to her bedside.
