The moments between death and life

As Lorne turns away he asks "Teyla, where's Ronon?Teyla shakes her head while saying "I'm sorry, John."

The look in her eyes and the shock on McKay's face told him that it was true yet, he didn't want to believe it, I mean Ronon was a survivor Damn it!. Not until he saw the body himself. However, he knew himself that it was true. He wanted to go to his fallen friend's body. Even if all he could do now was to take the body back and bury it properly according to the ways of Sateda.

He had decided that on the way back to the gate, they would swing past the hallway where it had a happened. Every step brought him closer and closer, to what he didn't think he would see happen for many more years. He was angry, angry at Wraith, angry at the fact that he wasn't there. All he could do was wonder was maybe if he'd been there then he could have stopped it, stopped the wraith killing his friend, killing a part of his family. He wished he could heal the looks of loss and shock on Teyla and McKay's faces. He forced away all this; he still had a job to do, still had to save Earth.

The ship seemed eerily quiet now, the silence was broken by a somewhat familiar groan. As a little hope rushed into him they quickened their pace, to see the reason behind the noise. He could see his hope flicker on the faces of his team, his family. They only allowed a little hope as; they still had to find a way to save earth. If Atlantis didn't make it then the only thing that could do to save Earth, was to set off the nuke. If they got caught now he would have failed everyone on Earth. His team knew that he hated to fail anyone and knew how far he would go to protect everyone. They had always respected that about him.

As they came closer to the particular hallway they could hear a familiar grumble of conversation. Ronon's voice was engaged in conversation with what could only be a wraith. Ronon grunts in pain. They move around the corner and aim their weapons at the wraith. The wraith takes fire along with his guards; they all crumple to the ground. The team rushes to Ronon's side. He saw the look of gratitude in Ronon's expression while he asks.

"How you doin', Chewie?"

Ronon groans in reply as they help him up. He can't help but feel that now the family is back together that everything is going to be ok…..
