AN: This is after the episode Quarantine. Ronon and Jennifer feelings begin to develop more and more. But will her past get in the way of them? Wait and seeā¦..
Chapter One 'S.D.'
Jennifer stood in front of her mirror just after lunch and before her next shift. She had been thinking about Ronon since the quarantine. She had seen a different side of him. A sweet side and vulnerable side. Then the almost kiss they shared before the quarantine ended. Did she see him in that light? Or was it just in the moment? What did he think about it?
Ronon did move at lunch for her and he never did that for anyone. 'Stop it,' Jennifer thought. 'It is too complicated anyway,' she said throwing down her brush.
Jennifer put up her hair before she had left her quarters. As she headed for the infirmary Ronon came into her sight. "Hey Jen," Ronon said causing her to stop.
"Hey," Jennifer said. "How is your arm?" She asked looking up at him.
"Good," Ronon said in a low voice. "But I think the bandage needs changed," he said causing her to nod.
"Follow me," Jennifer said heading ahead of him. Ronon had titled his head to the side watching her hips sway from side to side as she walked ahead of him.
'Stop it!' Ronon said to himself but he couldn't help himself. He had never looked at her this way before but ever since the quarantine he saw her in a new light. She had guts.
"Sit down," Jennifer said motioning to the first table.
"Yes ma'am," Ronon said catching her demanding tone. Jennifer got a few things out of the cabinet and then went over to him.
"Its getting better," Jennifer said after taking off the old wrap. "No infection," she said looking at the wound. Then she went to grab the knew gauze and cleaning solution.
"So Jen," Ronon said causing her to laugh. "What?" He asked with a smile.
"You never call me Jen its just weird," Jennifer said with a slight blush. Ronon lifted her chin and looked deep into her eyes.
"I figured we needed a step up in our relationship," Ronon said causing her to swallow hard.
"Relationship?" Jennifer asked biting her lip and he nodded his head. Their lips were only inches apart and his com-link went off. "You should answer that," she said with a smile.
"Yeah," Ronon said slightly groaning and she pulled away. "Yes," he said.
"I need your help down in the main room," Teyla said at the other end of the com-link.
"I'll be right there," Ronon said looking over at Jen. "Bye," he said with a smile.
"Bye," Jennifer said smiling back at him and he walked out. Ronon had come into the main room with Teyla and saw her hunching over to fix the computer.
"Where is Rodney?" Ronon asked heading over to her quickly.
"On an off world missing with John and Sam," Teyla said standing up. "So," he said. "I see you got a new bandage," she said with a smile.
"So," Ronon said looking up at her.
"Just making an observation," Teyla said. "Like this morning," she said. "You never move for anyone but you move for her," she said with a smirk.
"What are you trying to say?" Ronon asked sitting up and glaring at her.
"Nothing," Teyla said with a smile on her face. "Nothing at all," she said. "It's just cute," she said causing him to groan and the computer came back on.
"There," Ronon said handing her the tool.
"Thanks," Teyla said with a smile on her face. "Oh and Ronon," she said causing him to turn.
"What?" Ronon asked looking back at her.
"She likes lilies," Teyla said causing him to growl and then walk out. Teyla just laughed to herself and then went back to work.
Ronon had been laying on bed thinking about the quarantine, this morning, and Teyla's comment a few minutes ago. Could he have something with Jennifer? Is she interested in him? Or is it just in the moment kind of thing? Why did he care anyway? He was Ronon. He could have any woman of his pick. But it wouldn't be the same. He wanted Jennifer.
She was smart, genuine, and had a great body. 'Stop it," he thought to himself. He threw the knife had been twirling into his door.
That night at dinner he came in with his tray and he looked around. "Where is Jen?" Ronon asked causing everyone to stop eating.
"Who?" John asked with Teyla just smirking.
"The doc," Ronon said glaring at them.
"She had to do some paperwork," Teyla said softly. "She says she might not make it to dinner tonight," she said softly.
"Oh," Ronon said nodding his head and caught everyone staring. "What?" He asked.
"I just can't believe you know her name," Rodney said shaking his head.
"Of course I know her name," Ronon said wrinkling his forehead. "Why do you humans read so much into everything?" He asked looking at them.
It was around midnight when the infirmary doors came open. Jennifer looked up to see Ronon come into the room with a sandwich and drink in his hand. "Hey," she said.
"Brought you some dinner," Ronon said causing her to smile up at him.
"Thanks," Jennifer said before looking down at her paper work. "You know I thought being a doctor would be all glamour but its not," she said running her shoulders.
"Here," Ronon said setting down her food and rubbing her shoulders.
"Mmm," Jennifer moaned in delight as her knots were being dealt with. "That feels great," she said closing her eyes and he smiled to himself.
That sent his mind into the gutter. Imagining him and Jennifer in a compromising position. He shook it off and went to work on her shoulder. Just then her bra strap fell down her shoulder.
Jennifer looked up at him as he slowly slid her bra strap back home. He then kissed her shoulder and she closed her eyes. His lips felt so great on her bare skin. Ronon swept her hair to the side and went to kiss her next. That is when he saw it. A scar. It was initials. S.D.
"Jen," Ronon said causing her to close her eyes tight. She knew he had found the scar. She had been so wrapped up in the moment that she totally forgot about it.
"Yeah," Jen said looking up at him and before he asked the doors open. It was a mother with her child and she went over to them. "What is wrong?" She asked looking down at the boy.
"He's been getting sick," the woman replied.
"Okay come on," Jennifer said picking him up. "Thanks for the food," she said with a smile and went right to work.
Ronon arched his eyebrow and then headed out of the infirmary. He kept the image of those initials in his head all night. What were they? Why did she have them? Who did the belong to?
