I shouldn’t be one for jealousy.
I’ve always been top of my class at everything I did. I was picked out of thousands to have a chance at a job that many would kill for and have died for. I could even be considered the best damn doctor in two galaxies.
Sure, as I watch them walk down the hall in front of me, holding hands and laughing at something he just said, I might admit she is more athletic than me. She might be taller than me. She might even be more popular than me.
But I have a loving father and a good home here and on Earth. I had men chasing after me. I had Ronon chasing after me - a fact many of the girls on Atlantis would faint over.
But I have a man now who loves me and who understands me. Who can keep up with me as well as I can keep up with him. Who is safe and I know I can rely on not to go running into the battle rather than away from it. Sure I have my doubts sometimes about my decisions but you could even say I’ve found my kindred spirit in Rodney.
I’m on top of my career here and I have a few good, close friends who I know will laugh with me, listen to my problems and give me good advice when I need it. You could even say my life is perfect.
But, as I see them walk off together, somehow I can’t help but be jealous of Amelia Banks.
