John Sheppard was walking through the busy streets with two young boys following behind. One of boys was about six and the other about nine. The younger one had a hard time keeping his breeches up, continuously pulling them up as they walked down the street. John laughed silently to himself at the small boy; he remembered when he was a little boy like that and always pulling his breeches up because they were always to big for him. But that's when they ran into her…

"Look!" The older boy whispered slightly loud enough to the little boy so John could hear him pointing at the woman. John cleared his throat turning to the two boys…

"I can hear you…" John told the older boy, Rylin. He turned back towards her as he, Rylin, and Kaden sat down next to a fountain.

"John…why not just go talk to her?" Rylin asked him.

"It's not that simple buddy." John messed the hat on little Kaden's head up a little before he looked over at her.

She was in a long dark red dress; it had a small petticoat underneath and it covered her feet so you couldn't see her shoes. The sleeves were elbow length and had a slight ruffle trimming the bottom. He could also tell she was wearing a bodice…she always wore one, he never saw her with out one.

"Should we not get the things on our list?" Rylin suddenly spoke up.

"Yeah let's get going." He sighed out standing up as Kaden jumped onto his back.

"Kaden your breeches are falling down!" Rylin laughed loudly before John set Kaden down on his feet and help him pull his pants up. Suddenly a long, black, thick ribbon appeared in front of his face. He looked up directly into her eyes and was immediately hypnotized.

"John…are you alright?" She asked him brushing a stray dark curl out of her face.

"What? Yeah I'm fine, just helping the kid out. He keeps losing his pants!" John sighed out looking away and down at Kaden.

"Let me help." She smirked a little before kneeling down in front of Kaden. She pulled his breeches up a little, wrapped the black ribbon around his waist tightly, and then pinned it in two places to keep it connected.

"Thank you Miss Elizabeth." Kaden thanked her with a smile.

"You are most certainly welcome Kaden." She smiled brightly back at the boy and kissed his cheek before standing up straight.

"You didn't have to…" John started but stopped before he kicked a small rock with his boot and ran a hand through his messy hair.

"It's alright, I don't mind. I wanted to help." She told him with a smile as she ruffled Kaden's dark hair before he laughed a little and placed his hat back onto his head.

"Elizabeth!" A man called out…John immediately noticed Elizabeth look to the ground.

"Elizabeth what are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay home today?" It was Elizabeth Weir's fiancé…Simon Wallace. John really didn't know what his childhood friend saw in Simon. All he saw was a drunk, lying, cheating bastard.

"Katie asked me to come along with her and get things for the baby…" Elizabeth started to explain as John saw Katie Brown with her 8 month old daughter Mara talking to her husband Rodney McKay not too far away.

"I have been looking all over for you! You scared me, I could not find you. Nobody knew where you were." Simon told her firmly.

"It was nice talking to you Elizabeth…we'll see you later. The boys and I have some business to take care of and I have to get them back to their mother soon." John suddenly cut in and she looked up at him.

"You too John, hope to see you and the boys soon. Good bye Kaden, Rylin." She smiled brightly at the boys as they waved good bye to her and continue on their way.

John and the boys finally got back to the house. Their mother, Teyla, was walking out of the house to greet them. She had just a simple dark blue dress with her protruding belly.

"Mother!" Kaden cried out happily running to his mom.

"Did you both have fun with John today?" Teyla asked them as they stood before her.

"Yes…we ran into Miss Elizabeth again today." Rylin told her with a smirk on his face.

"You did! Did you speak with her? How is she doing?" Teyla asked happily, she hadn't seen Elizabeth for a while.

"Uncle John started turning red!" Rylin and Kaden started laughing as they teased their uncle.

"I did not!" John retorted back as Teyla placed a hand on her large stomach.

"Alright boys, why don't you both go inside and clean up?" Teyla smirked rubbing her belly subconsciously. They boys just smiled and took off into the house.

"I think they spend too much time around Ronon…" John sighed out as he walked up to Teyla.

"It is you also, not just their father!" She smirked at him.

"How's the little rugrat doing? Where's Talia?" John asked her happily looking down at her protruding belly as he brushed a hand against the side of it.

"He is kicking today and wide awake. Talia is inside taking a nap." Teyla smiled placing both hands on the sides of her belly.

"How do you know it's a boy?" John asked her out of curiosity.

"Because Rylin and Kaden kicked just as hard as this little one…and Talia was very different." Teyla explained to him before she let out a gasp.

"You alright? When is he due anyways?" He started getting worried.

"In a few days…and yes I will be fine." Teyla sighed out taking a few deep breaths.

"Well shouldn't Ronon be here to take care of you if you're that close?"

"Ronon will be home soon, I will be fine." Teyla reassured him.

"Mommy…" A small voice called from the door way and out walked four year old Talia with her pink blankie clutched in her arms…

"Uncle John!" She suddenly cried seeing John standing next to her mother.

"Hi Talia!" John smiled brightly at the small girl as she ran over to him and jumped into his arms

"Did your brother's wake you?" Teyla asked suspiciously and Talia just nodded.

"Well I better get going. I will see you later alright?" John told them since it was getting dark out before giving Talia a hug and passing her to Teyla as he walked over to his horse, jumped on, and took off down the dirt path.

Elizabeth was sitting in their reading room in her fiancé's large house. She didn't know where Simon was at the time, something about needing to talk to a friend. Usually that involved drinking. She couldn't concentrate on her book so she finally just put it down and went outside in the back yard where there was a swing. She sat down on the swing, wrapped her slender fingers around the two ropes and slowly swung back and forth. Suddenly she heard a horse…she looked over and saw a horse go by slowly…it was John.

"Elizabeth? What are you doing out here so late?" He asked riding into the backyard, over to her, and slowly circling her on the horse.

"I couldn't sleep, and I am not tired. So I decided to come sit outside." She told him watching him circle her. She was still in the same outfit he had seen her in earlier that day.

"Where's Simon?" John teased her as he stopped in front of her.

"Probably drunk and surrounded by women." She sighed out leaning her head against one of the ropes as she gazed up at him.

"Why aren't you with him?"

"He wouldn't allow it."

"He wouldn't allow it?" John repeated disbelievingly.

"Yes…that's what I said isn't it?"

"Come on, come with me…" He smirked down at her and she looked up at him in confusion…

"I'm not so sure…" Elizabeth started but he cut her off.

"You trust me don't you?" He questioned and she nodded slowly.

"Well then come on, I just want to show you something. I'll bring you back when ever you want!" He told her happily. She slowly got up out of the swing and walked up to him as he reached a hand down to her. She cautiously took it and he hoisted her up onto the horse behind him.

"Hold on." He told her and she immediately wrapped her arms around his middle as he took off.

-x-x-x-

John finally reached his destination. He slid off the horse and turned back, placing his hands on her hips, and helping her down.

"John it's beautiful!" She gasped at the sight before her. She stood staring at the lake which glistened and sparkled under the moonlight and stars.

"I thought you might like it!" He smiled brightly as she smiled at him, before turning back to look at the lake.

"Is this where you bring all your 'admirers'?" She teased him as she started petting the horse as she stood in front of it.

"Of course it is!" He smirked making her believe he was telling the truth as he went and sat in the grass. But the real truth was that he never brought anyone there…other than himself and his horse, and now Elizabeth. It was his favorite spot…he wouldn't share it with some woman that just wanted to have a one night stand.

"How is Teyla?" Elizabeth randomly asked as she walked over and sat next to him.

"She's due in a couple days. The kids are doing great. Ronon should be back soon." John explained to her…and then they fell into silence.

"So when are you going to start popping out kids?" John suddenly asked her and she immediately looked at him with wide eyes.

"What? You don't want kids?" He asked her with a huge smile on his face.

"It's not what I want…it's what Simon wants." She told him softly realizing he was just teasing her.

"Well that's not fair. You shouldn't have to…" John started but Elizabeth cut him off…

"John you don't understand. Simon's just…" She couldn't finish.

"Simon's what? Using you to get to your father? You're father is the richest man in town 'Lizbeth. You seriously think he wants a real relationship with you?" John quickly picked up where she left off…sounding a bit harsher than he meant. She immediately looked at him in disgust.

"What? So since we've been together longer than a couple nights and we've done more than have sex like you and all your successful relationships our relationship is fake? You don't know what my life is like John, you are not there to live it or witness it! You have seen bits and pieces…not the real thing." She snapped back at him angrily standing up.

"Oh please do tell!" He replied sarcastically standing up next to her.

"I want to go home!" She cried at him as she started walking towards the horse.

"Tell me, tell me what your life is really like since it's not a big happily ever after fairytale everyone thinks it is!" He told her firmly taking a few steps toward her.

"Just take me home!" She snapped back at him turning to face him with tears filling her vision.

"Why can't you just tell me?" He cried walking up to her.

"I just want to go home!" She cried back as the tears started to fall.

"I'm sorry…okay I didn't mean for this to get this far." He apologized to her, placing his hands on her arms.

"Will you just take me home please?" She asked him softly staring at the ground

"Yeah, come on." He sighed out helping her up onto the horse before getting on and taking off for the house.
