AN: This is the first time I've attempted a Teyla centered fic, but I wanted to give it a shot.
One shot. It's Teyla/OC, Teyla/Ford, but mostly Teyla/Ronon. :-P She loved three men in her life. Please R&R!

...Lessons of Love...
She loved three men in her life.Caiman had been her childhood friend. He taught her how to fight. The first night she beat him they kissed. They had a whirlwind courtship--they lived with the Wraith hovering over their heads, their was no time for dallying. Each day, each moment was precious. Theirs was a dangerous world.
Three months before they were to be hand fasted he was taken. She wept for two nights, but her father had been taken as well and the people looked to her to lead them. She could not afford to grieve for long.
He taught her strength and courage.
She met Aiden Ford when his team came to her world. They were a different people with different cultures. He was a year younger than her. They did not care. Sheppard teased them both, McKay remained oblivious. Dr. Weir took her aside and let her know there would be no conflict-of-interest issues if they decided to act. They both denied their feelings.
When they heard the wraith were coming, Aiden took her aside and kissed her. "I love you," he whispered. "In case anything happens I want you to know."
She smiled, told him she loved him as well, shook off the ominous feeling. When he disappeared through the Stargate Sheppard grieved for his friend, but she grieved for what could have been.
He taught her innocence and trust.
Ronon Dex kidnapped her and John. He was part-bitter, part-animal, part-hatred. He rarely showed his emotions, she was often appalled by his actions. They were complete opposites. They couldn't keep their eyes off each other.
They sparred often. He was stronger, she was quicker. The first time she knocked him to the ground and he did not bounce up she hovered, checking to see if he was all right. He pulled her down and kissed her.
She lost him for a month when he was kidnapped and tortured. She and the others rescued him, as she could not rescue Caiman, could not help Ford. His head lay in her lap on the jumper ride home.
They taught each other commitment.
They taught each other love.
