Consolation
Teyla woke suddenly, cold sweat on her body. She had once again dreamt of the Wraith. She lay there for another hour and could not close her eyes without thinking about the Wraith. She then remembered what John had told her just before they went into their own corridors that night. "If you have another nightmare and you can't get back to sleep, I'm right here for you." She knew for a fact he had meant what he had said to her. She tried once more to close her eyes but couldn't so it. She quickly got up in her flannel pajama pants and cotton tank top and opened her door that led to the hallway. She quietly knocked on the door and loudly whispered, "Major." She tried again. "Major!" She waited, "John!" She opened the door. "Definitely not a light sleeper when it is not necessary." She said to herself. She crept over to his bed and shook him a bit, to wake him.
He was lying there snoring slightly sound asleep in a pair of black boxers. "Hmm, five more minutes." He mumbled into his pillow as he rolled over.
Teyla shook her head. "It's me." He knew it was her, just by the sound of her voice, and pushed over a bit for her. Even though they were only small twin beds they'd fit. He patted his hand down twice beside him gesturing her to lie down. She lifted up the covers a bit to get under them. How he could just sleep in those on top of the blankets was beyond her. She was freezing. "You're crazy, it's freezing in here." She took his pillow and pulled it out from under his head, to tease him.
"We're supposed to share that." He complained but did not move his head as he said so. "Give me some blankets too." He said as he started to pull on them.
Teyla turned over to face him. "Stop hogging the bed then." She smiled and gave him some blankets. He pulled the covers over himself and moved closer to her.
He opened his eyes and looked into hers as the moonlight from the window shined into them. "Have another bad dream?" He asked as he stroked her cheek. She nodded and he gently leaned forward and kissed her head. "Come here." He said as he pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her.
She gently stroked her fingers through the hair on his chest. "Thank-you." She said and nuzzled her head into his neck.
He gently stroked her back and kissed her head again. "You can go to sleep now, I'm here for you. I promise." He smiled and closed his eyes as she sighed and relaxed more and gently dozed off herself.
