Summary: Teyla wants to know why Rodney is always afraid he's going to die


1. Fear of Dying

Teyla often wondered why Dr. McKay was always so fearful that he would die
whenever the team was caught in a bad situation. One afternoon Teyla decided to ask
him, she found him is lab.

"May I ask you something?" Teyla asked.

"Sure" Rodney said.

"Why do you fear death?" Teyla asked.

"When I was five I nearly died drowning in the family pool" Rodney admitted as he worked on some ancient looking device.

"Stop Fearing and start living" Teyla smiled

"I'll try" Rodney smiled at his friend. "Thanks"

"Your Welcome" Teyla smiled.
