This is a sequel to GETTING PAST AND MOVING FORWARD.

"They hate me!" Kiara said as they entered John's room after having lunch with Teyla, Ronon and Rodney.

"No they don't!" John answered her. "They treat everyone like that" he added.

"You mean Ronon's always so quiet and Rodney so whiny and rude?" John nodded with a smirk on his face.

"I thought he was only like that when he was working" Kiara said, slumping on John's bed and laying down.

"That's McKay" John said joining her on the bed after taking off his boots. He was laying half on top of Kiara with a mischievous grin on his face, like he was expecting something.

"Don't you have to go to work?" she asked him, knowing what he wanted to do.

"What time is it?" he asked kissing her neck.

"Umm…" Damn, Kiara couldn't think straight when he did that.

"So?" he asked capturing her lip with his running a hand along her side.

"Doesn't maaa-tter" she got out as he slid a hand under her shirt. Kiara was not kissing him back fully. She ran her hands in his hair as he was lifting her shirt. John was about to remove her top when his radio cracked.

"Hey Sheppard come to my lab, I need you to activate this device." Rodney's voice sounded in his ear.

"Damn it" John cursed on Kiara's neck.

"What?" Kiara asked lifting her head.

"Rodney needs me" John answered.

"Not as much as I need you" Kiara said playfully kissing his jaw line. John responded by laying back down.

"Yoo-hoo, Colonel did you get that?" Rodney asked sounding annoyed.

"Okay, I get it!" John grumbled. He mouthed a 'sorry' to Kiara before he got up.

"You don't have to be rude." Rodney complained.

"I said I'm coming." John said, and then broke off communication. "I'm going to kill Rodney" John said getting up and putting his boots back on and leaving.

By the time John had gotten back, it was late. Kiara had fallen asleep so he just stripped to his boxers and go tin the covers. Kiara instinctively moved towards him wrapping her left arm around his waist and resting her head on his chest. John just looked at her and smiled to himself. 'Things were really going good between them; maybe this time they'd make it to getting married.' John thought.

The next four months were just perfect, in respect to their relationship. Exclude some bad guys and Wraith and everything was just fine. Kiara was walking to the mess when she ran into Cadman.

"How's you're day going?" Laura asked her.

"Alright, just stuck on translating this ancient thing. Did they have to code everything?" she asked rhetorically.

"Oh cheer up. That's why you're here. I it was so simple, you wouldn't have a job" Laura said trying to make Kiara feel better.

"Hey, so where's you're other half?" Laura questioned referring to John. For the past months they have been just short of stuck to each other. Everywhere; the mess hall, gym, as long as they are on Atlantis they're together.

"Uh, he's off world for the past two days negotiating for food." She answered. Laura laughed at this. It was so funny to see her when he wasn't around for a long time. She went insane.

"What?" Kiara asked.

"Nothing, just enjoying you sulking. How are things between you two anyways?" Laura asked.

"It's- interesting" Kiara said with a smile on her face, but Laura could tell there was something Kiara wasn't telling her. She knew her well enough. They had become very close friends over time.

"Spill it!" Laura pretty much ordered as they reached the mess.

"There nothing to spill." Kiara replied. Laura gave her an 'I'm not dumb' look then said,

"Listen, I know there's something bothering you; tell me or I'll go to Sheppard and ask him about it."

"So you'll go to you're CO and enquire about his personal life?" Kiara asked smirking at Laura.

"Yah, well I'll take my chances." Laura said as they sat down with their lunch. Laura just raised an eyebrow at Kiara.

"It's not a big thing at all, I'm just being silly" Kiara tried to assure Laura.

"It is big, if I can see something bothering you." Laura retorted.

"I'll tell you later, I'll come to your room tonight and we can talk about it." Kiara said giving in.

"Promise?" Laura asked.

"Promise." Kiara replied. They continued to eat lunch and talk about other things until they had to go back to their duties.

Eight hours later Kiara was no where closer to finding out what the ancient text mean. She knew was it meant, but not its purpose of true meaning. Kiara nearly fell out of her chair when John came in and touched her shoulder.

"Jumpy are we?" John asked; a smile plastered on his face.

"Stupid Ancients!" Kiara cursed.

"Now come on Kiki, it can't be that hard" John replied and Kiara just glared at him. "Listen why don't you take a break fro whatever it is you're doing and get some rest." He suggested kissing her cheek.

"Not now John." Kiara said pushing him away enough to stop kissing her. John gave her a strange look and said,

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, look I'm sorry, it's just I really can't figure this thing out and usually it's not so important, but there's something different about this. She quickly answered.

"You sure?" he asked not really believing her.

"Yeah, absolutely and on second thought why don't were go and 'relax'" Kiara responded. It wasn't a bid problem she was just a bid disturbed because today was the anniversary of the day she had left John. John hadn't remembered at all, in fact he didn't want to ever remember this day.

"Oh please don't have animal sex in my lab again" Rodney, stressed the again. Last time he walked in on them going at it in the storeroom.

"Relax, we were just leaving" they said in unionism.

Back in John's room, John immediately pushed Kiara up against the wall and started kissing her with blistering passion. John's tongue was pushing up against her lips. She parted her lips and her tongue began tackling John's. Kiara moaned when she felt his erection through his pants. They broke the kiss and John attacked Kiara's neck while she pulled his shirt up his chest while running her fingers along his tight muscles. John lifted his head to allow her to pull the shirt over his head. John quickly rid her of her shirt and pants. She was wearing all black underwear. He grabbed her by the thighs and lifted her and she in turn wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her to the bed and lay her down and removed the rest of his own clothing and positioned himself in between her legs.

He undid Kiara's bra and immediately licked her breast, while caressing the other with his right hand. This made Kiara moan his name while running her fingers through his hair. John couldn't wait any longer; he positioned himself and entered her slowly. He found him self going faster that he wished he would have. She started calling out his name as he went faster and harder. Each thrust with even more power than the last until she cried out. John didn't spare her; he thrust deeper before he came with his own release.

"Chaya "he moaned…
