Síobhan was surprised how good it actually felt to be back in her office and in a way she also felt like she was home. When she had been pulled for the mission back on Earth. she had left everything the way it was and to her surprise it had all been left the way it was. Expect for the movement of pictures with one or two personal items everything was still the way she left it, to her knowledge the room had been out of use while she was gone. She could still hardly believe she had experienced all that had happened in such a short period.
As she waited for her first appointment she opened her pink box next to the door and began to place her pictures and personal belongings inside it. She liked have pictures of family dotted around the room, she'd spend a lot of time in this room and she felt it helped her patients relax all so by seen she was a human.
As she sat in her chair a nurse gave a single knock to her door and entered with a cup of tea placing it on her desk. With a single thank you the nurse was gone as quick as she had entered. This would be among her final check ups on the city before she was reassigned to the Sun Tzu.

Ensigne de Vassieu, Premiere Classe Marguriete Lefebvre, simply known as Lt. Maggie Lefebvre, was first in line to see the doctor. The idiot males were NOT doing her much justice, and maybe, just MAYBE, a female was the ticket. One could HOPE, anyway.

She knocked, and entered as the woman signaled. She entered, her blonde head held high with the confidence (and a bit of vanity, because hey, she COULD) that she felt, always. It took a LOT to shake Maggie, and even being almost set afire in the freakin' Tazmanian outback wasn't quite enough. Now, though, she was seeking validation-she was STILL upset at Dr. West and his suggestion that she don't run. He simply didn't understand the amount of WORK it took to maintain HER body at her age. Maggie knew she was getting older; while she didn't mind the aging part so much, she DID mind the toll gravity took on her body, as well as the tolls of the hard living she preferred. Besides, her prescription for birth control was about up, and since she was still in the prime of her best years, and she fully intended to NEVER have a child, and most CERTAINLY not HERE. As fun and gleeful as it would be to break THAT rule, it would still result in an actual INFANT and that was never good. Maggie was allergic to children.

Hello, Doctor Kells. Lt. Maggie Lefebvre. Thank you for seeing me today. Maggie didn't wait for the woman to go; she just settled herself on the exam table, and hoped that there wouldn't be a ladies' exam, because her cute panties were in the wash. A couple of weeks ago, I saw Dr. West for calf pain-he thinks I am running too much. I'd like YOUR opionion. Also, I need more birth control. I don't imagine ANY governement would be too pleased for me to be with child out here. Maggie had no idea what this woman had heard, but Maggie was sure she'd heard SOMETHING about Maggie's penchant for sleeping around. A

Síobhan lifted her head as Lt. Maggie Lefebvre entered the room before hitting a button on her pad that showed Lt. Maggie Lefebvre medical report. This was a patient she had been ask to see for some time now but with Stargate life things had not gone as planned. It took a second, but file came up with some interesting information and some from Dr West whom seemed to gave a negative approach on her. On the other side of the coin Dr Harrison seemed to think she needed a woman's touch. Síobhan gave a smile as there eyes mate while also taking a gulp of her tea before they began to speak.

" Hello, Doctor Kells.. Thank you for seeing me today.

"Its ok , I'm only sorry I couldn't see you sooner and from what I see you have already paid us a list."

Maggie settled in, and got herself together. It would probably be a fast appointment, but she didn't know how through Dr. Kells liked to be. Maggie was just glad that she wasn't dealing with that idiot Dr. West, or the headshrinker. That guy was so not hot.

Its ok , I'm only sorry I couldn't see you sooner and from what I see you have already paid us a list. Maggie nodded. Another Brit?! Or maybe she was Irish-Maggie didn't know, and didn't care, actually. OK first thing first lets do a recheck on that leg. When did this pain in you calf first happen and have you still got it. Maggie sighed.

Well, it started off and on when I was in my 20's. But lately, it's sprouted up again. I notice it when I run more than a few miles in one day, and especially if I run every day for several days a week. She let out a sigh. Dr. West didn't seem to understand that I HAVE to run to maintain my figure-it changes for women as we get older. It's not as easy as it was when I was a teenager, you know? And I DO eat. I just...I have issues with finding things on the planet that agree with me. But when I do, I make sure I eat enough. She was feeling a little defensive, but maybe Siobhan could understand a little. It's not like she could eat what she did before and excercise less, and still maintain her size-2 body. It just did not add up.

So what's this I hear you and Dr West not getting on ? Maggie nodded.

Americans annoy me, what can I say?

Síobhan listened carefully to the sound of her voice noting the increase in tension in her voice, the last thing Síobhan wanted to do was increase this tension and so she softened her voice. She hit her pad bringing up a number of files, Síobhan's fingers ran across the screen working through a number of files, thankfully they had been translated.



" You have nothing to prove, I understand were your coming from and I can help." Síobhan slightly dipped her head and smiled hoping the warm grin would help.



With a sip of her tea Síobhan went back to speaking



" From what it looks like and sounds. Well the pain in the Calf's is normal after training, everyone gets it and yours are just taken longer to heal from more than likely to a number of factors. It's basically micro tears in the muscle and the body normal heals it with protein. That's why we need you on a balanced training routine and diet. Your body is getting use to a new environment and foods. But some of these food may not be providing what the body needs. This is soming which I may have to address with all military personal. Am I right in saying you turn to your fitness when problems arise in your life and that is when the pain starts ?"

Maggie was a veritable mess most days. Oh, sure, OUTWARDLY she was a Polaroid of perfection-a carefully, purposely coiffed, perfumed, walking, talking object of desire, but she meant inside. Inside, Maggie was not sexy; she was confused. She generally lacked self-confidence-likely due to a life spent pleasing men. She pretended to like it-she liked the PHYSICAL parts, because who didn't?-but she hated the mornings after. The partings, the goodbyes. Maggie WANTED a permanent thing; a guy not afraid to try, and try and KEEP trying until she got it. She wanted, deep down, the whole ideal-an epic romance, a big white wedding, and a country home in Provence (or somewhere, really) with a couple of dogs. MAYBE a kid, though she could barely keep a pet fish alive, let alone another person.

But Siobhan seemed to understand.

You have nothing to prove, I understand were your coming from and I can help... Maggie looked at the woman suspiciously, but she calmed a bit. Maybe she COULD help Maggie. From what it looks like and sounds. Well the pain in the Calf's is normal after training, everyone gets it and yours are just taken longer to heal from more than likely to a number of factors.

Maggie sighed, but nodded.

Yes...running is the only thing I find much joy in these days. My physical appearance is important to me. If that is vain or shallow, OK, but it is. Maggie wouldn't elaborate on that unless Kells asked her. Maggie didn't want to see the psychologist again until it was time to.

Síobhan knew all to well that some peoples injury's were just beyond her reach, that didn't mean she was going to give up and let this woman fall in to the cracks. Dr Harrison had asked her to see Maggie and he must of had reasons why. The last thing Síobhan wanted to do was scare her of, she wanted her to take the steps and she would be there to help her back on her way or that's what she hoped. Keeping her tone soft she kept speaking.

" What I want to do is set you up with one of my nurse's for tomorrow, we'll give your legs a looking over with this scanner thing and hopefully I'll have an x-ray at the end. I'm also going to set you up with Private Connor from British military, he's was a PT before the military and he's been keeping the civilians fit. If they get over weight or under they throw him in and he puts things right. You'll only see once a week and when he's happy with your fitness and diet he'll see you less. This is going to be slow, with no quick fix and last thing you want is to be sent home with a Calf injury. Because if not cared for properly if could become worse. " Placing her hands together and elbows on the desk Síobhan leaned in, raising her head by just a inch and getting ready to move the conversion on.


" Can I be honest with you Maggie? " Síobhan was watching her words and for the first time spoke her name hoping it would help build a connection " I think your here for more than just your leg and tablets. You have had this pain for some time now, so more than likely you're use to it and tablets you can order of the nurse at the desk."
Síobhan went quiet, to give Maggie the time for her words to sink in. " As humans we crave attention, from simple talking or full blown interaction from friends and family. We all do in are own way. What I'm trying to say is, I won't judge you and I won't let this conversation leave this room if you wish speak. I think there's a bigger pain that I'd like to help with. "

Maggie listened as Dr. Kells started. She was going to give this woman a CHANCE. Maggie didn't have many other options; she didn't want to be sent home for medical reasons (because being sent home for behaviorial problems was perferable), nor did she want to spend any precious flirting time in the Infirmary, being forced to spend time with the idiot male doctors and that strange alien. No thanks.

What I want to do is set you up with one of my nurse's for tomorrow, we'll give your legs a looking over with this scanner thing and hopefully I'll have an x-ray at the end. I'm also going to set you up with Private Connor from British military, he's was a PT before the military and he's been keeping the civilians fit.

This is going to be slow, with no quick fix and last thing you want is to be sent home with a Calf injury. Because if not cared for properly if could become worse. Maggie nodded. That sounded OK-she could still exercise AND follow a medical program. Plus a male PT was always up her alley.

That...sounds reasonable, Dr. Kells. Maggie would TRY it, anyway. Maggie always tried something at least once.

Maggie was prepared to hop down and go off on her merry way to not do anything until Captain Miller MADE her, when Dr. Kells went on.

Can I be honest with you Maggie?...I think your here for more than just your leg and tablets. You have had this pain for some time now, so more than likely you're use to it and tablets you can order of the nurse at the desk. As humans we crave attention, from simple talking or full blown interaction from friends and family. We all do in are own way. What I'm trying to say is, I won't judge you and I won't let this conversation leave this room if you wish speak. I think there's a bigger pain that I'd like to help with. Maggie's first inclination was to tell Siobhan to leave the headshrinking to Dr. Harrison. But she calmed herself; Maggie didn't have much of an anger problem, and so it was a passing thought. She sighed, and raised the hem of her camisole slightly, revealing the leftovers of her tryst with Captain Jones. They'd both been REALLY into it, and she had the marks to prove it; he did, as well. She let it down again, and then sighed once more.

I am not sure what you mean, Doctor Kells, but I can take a stab at it. I think we both know that I have a reputation around here, and as much as I try to pretend that it doesn't bother me, the fact is that it DOES matter when they all talk. I don't know why they think I can't hear it-SEE IT-when they look at me. It's judgement. But they don't judge the guys, do they?! No. I am the only one blamed for it, and for what? For doing something that every person on the planet does? So I like sex, Dr. I don't see why that's a problem. I am careful, and safe, and it's always on MY terms. If I am not harming anyone, and my work is still getting done, who cares what I do in my free time? Maggie stopped. That was more than she'd intended to say. It had been awhile since Maggie had had another female to confide in; she couldn't talk to Eastlyn, and Ahrima didn't understand, and none of the other women were particularly friendly. Most women disliked her, and Maggie knew why, of course, but it wasn't totally her fault. She'd been taught from very young that she was pretty, and the only thing that she would ever be was an object. Her father had treated her that way-the pretty daughter to show off, the French wife on his arm. Her mother, TRYING the best, had been young when she was born, and had only known to teach Maggie what she'd been taught-that French women do not get fat, old, or grey.

Síobhan just sat there and listened to what Maggie had to say. This story was nothing knew to her, she had heard it before and watched different out comes before from women. When Maggie finished speaking Síobhan just sat there for a minute think of the right response. The truth was she had heard a lot of Maggie's reputation, but she had all so heard of some of the males too and many other secrets too.

" I'm going tell you story now," Síobhan broke eye contact for a second before make it again in some way feeling a shamed of what she was about to say." My grades were dropping in school and so my parents decided to send me to boarding school. Trust me if I ever have kids that will be one place I won't send them for sure. Finally she raised her head as her fingers fiddled with her cup. " Irish school girls can be the worst, they can be like vultures on the weak ones and teacher just pretending nothing is happening so they don't get involved. It can be hell Maggie, Anyway it was a month in and the others were throwing the insults at me as always because of my common accent then to put it nice words. Words don't just hit you, they dig in and eat at you. Well that's what I think, well that day after some lovely words and spitballs at me the teacher pulled me a side to say the one thing I'd never forget. Your not fighting that's why they pick on you, do you want to spend the rest of the year in fear the teacher said, she knew i didn't want to be there and that advice i never forgot. Your already looking to go home so what makes the difference if you teach them a lesson. Do it next time in class she said. Same girl again next time in class, this time I picked up my chair and threw it at her and hit her in the head. The teacher convinced the principal to only give me detention for two weeks for doing it but it was worth it, a lot of my problems stopped for awhile as they became scared of me. What ever way Maggie you live your life is your choice, you protect yourself so I don't care to put it lightly. There's male heads I'm look for. But your letting this reputation take over and it's only a matter of time before it eats at you, " Síobhan pauses to take a sip of her tea before continuing. " I know my problem its not like yours but your the only one who can stop them and what have you got to lose."

Maggie settled back, her arms crossed, but her face inscrutable.

I'm going tell you story now...My grades were dropping in school and so my parents decided to send me to boarding school. Trust me if I ever have kids that will be one place I won't send them for sure. Maggie knew about THAT; she'd been sent to an entirely different COUNTRY when she became a "problem." Why didn't her parents just pay for therapy? It's not like it couldn't have come out of her trust fund. Yeah, she'd have been upset, but she wouldn't be a mess NOW.

Maggie's first inclination was to simply leave. It was what she'd done with Dr. West and Dr. Harrison. But then, nothing had changed. So maybe she better listen. At least Dr. Kells was trying to be nice about it. Maggie thought for several moments, the silence filled with emotions, mostly on Maggie's side. She replied after a bit.

I suppose you have a point, Dr. Kells. But...what do I do NOW?! I have no real job here; Captain Miller gives me busy work, and sometimes I fill in at the Gate Room, but my skill is as a pilot. No one will let me fly. I am losing my mind. I am BORED. I don't think anyone knows this, but I graduated fifth in my class from the Sorbonne. The third best school in Europe. I am no genius, but I know what I know. What I know is international relations. That's somehow morphed into PHYSICAL relations, but those two things are all I like-flying planes and threatening Presidents. Maybe I SHOULD see Harrison again; I have no female friends, my best friend died when we were teenagers, and my boyfriend went MIA in Kuwait last month. I am a pilot without a plane, an Ensign de Vassieau without a ship, a butterfly with no wings. What do I DO? Then, Maggie did something she hadn't in about ten years-she felt herself start to cry.

Síobhan sat back in her seat as Maggie finally began to open up to her. Síobhan found herself finding out more than she had first expected about Maggie and this Síobhan realised this porcelain doll was fragile after all. As beautiful as she was this doll had cracks from pain. When she mentioned her boyfriend went MIA in Kuwait things began to fall in to place, including the details about no ship or plane.

" And than the males you try to befriend think you want something else, beside Dr Harrison is there no one here you can talk too. " Síobhan just looked at her for a second waiting for words to come to her, she would offer herself but duty was calling her else where.

" Falling back down to an Ensign with also all that has happened to you can really hit you hard, but you know what I see? "

Síobhan was surprised how much she was beginning to feel for Maggie and all her loss, normal she'd put up the iron front and send them with a punch on there way not wanting to befriend those who could die. Like a butterfly with no wings.

" Its easy to live in the past and even easier to live in future. But its even harder to live in the present when the deck is against you. But they say the French are consider to be among the best warriors. Well what I see is one of then and she just needs to hang in there a little long. Because your still here and when here you have a Doctor who will have an open door when needed. " Síobhan had many questions but knew not to push her in case it sent her away.".

As Dr. Kells wrapped up, Maggie WAS feeling better.

And than the males you try to befriend think you want something else, beside Dr Harrison is there no one here you can talk too? Maggie nodded lightly.

Maybe one of the scientists. But no, not really. You and Dr. Harrison, perhaps. MAYBE Captain Miller. But my own CO hates me, and Ahrima...the alien one, I like her immensely, but she doesn't understand human emotions...but you're right. The rest just want to sleep with me. Not that I don't understand WHY, but it is difficult to work with them sometimes. She sighed, but dabbed at her face with a Kleenex; she could NOT let anyone else see her cry.

Falling back down to an Ensign with also all that has happened to you can really hit you hard, but you know what I see?...Its easy to live in the past and even easier to live in future. But its even harder to live in the present when the deck is against you. But they say the French are consider to be among the best warriors. Well what I see is one of then and she just needs to hang in there a little long. Because your still here and when here you have a Doctor who will have an open door when needed Maggie smiled then, and stood up, carefully, making sure to not irritate her calves-she should probably lay off the heels for awhile, too, but at least Kells didn't mention THAT. She knew what she had to do now.

Thank you, Dr. Kells. Will you please let Dr. Harrison know I would appreciate his time, and let Captain Miller know I will be a few moments late? I would appreciate it...and I will be here on Tuesday next for PT. Thank you. Maybe I will just swim for a few days, and weights only. Maggie avoided the heavier things, but she knew now what was to happen-Maggie needed a makeover, but this time...she was going to make over her SOUL. It was time to be like her mother, and take her life into her own hands.

Maggie was feeling better. Emotions spun, but she had a plan, at least.

We'll take it slow Maggie, what ever way is best for you. I'll talk to Dr Harrison personal that you'd like to see him and as for are conversation. Well that stays in the room...Wipe yours eyes my dear before you leave and just so were straight, Private Connors is not, So I'd wear something comfortable when you meet him Maggie laughed, but nodded. She didn't mind; her old RIO was gay, too, and she preferred that. She didn't NEED to show off-there was nothing to compete with or for. Maggie wasn't one of those people who thought she could change someone's mind; she understood that someone's sexuality wasn't a choice.

Sure thing, Dr. Kells. And...thanks again. Maggie took one of the tissues, did her best to repair her eye makeup, and then carefully let herself out. In the hall way, she ran into Achilles, and she smiled. Just the guy she'd WANTED to see. Well, it was serendipitous how things worked, wasn't it?! She smiled at the man, and made a plan to see him at lunch. If she were gonna be serious about change, she needed something longer term. Then, she went to her quarters and changed into an actual uniform, put her hair back in a tight bun, and hightailed it Kelly's office...Now, if only someone gave her the CHANCE to prove herself.
