2007
John was getting ready for the mission, a simple trading mission to Belkan, "I just hope things work out this time around." he mubled to himself, so far things had gone pretty well, Kana was dead, killed by Michaels creatures for betraying him, working on his own, John hated the guy for what he did to Teyla, but then the child went missing shortly after he was born. John tried to not think about it. It was bad enough that Teyla was at the madmans mercy for well over a month.
But things were different now, he and Teyla were engaged to be married, and this trading trip would also be the one to which the ceremony would take place, and he knew things would be OK right from the start of the day.
But, knowing John and his never undercontrol gene, things snowballed right from the start, shortly after the wedding and return to Atlantis the team was called to Earth because of a problem inside the SGC and they need both John and Teylas help in finding out the trouble.
John and Teyla went one way, while Ronon and Rodney went the other, "I don't see how we are going to find what we need to find in this place, it is a maze." Rodney was once more complaining, "Sheppard, what are we looking for again?"
"A Asrak, a killer, it already killed Walter." John said into his radio to answer Rodney.
"Oh well, that's good to know." Rodney mumbled.
John peeked around a corner, looking towards where the jumper bay was, he didn't see anyone.
But Teyla did. "John" she cired out and opened fire on the killer, who fired his own weapon at the pair, Teyla dove and opulled John to the ground, as did she so she was hit in the side and crashed into the ground, hard. The Asrak ran off fast as he could.
"Teyla" John said softly going to his injured wife, he rolled her over, the color had drained from her face as she fought against the blackness, "Teyla stay with me please! Not now!" John said all but crying.
"I'm... sorry... John." Teyla said as she breathed her last, John had no idea how long he was in that position over Teyla. She was gone, there was nothing he could do for her.
John then sent in his resignation, and it was accepted, he then took a few things from Rodney's lab before leaving, the Files he took where the same files that Janus was told to destroy, only he didn't, and John knew what he was about to do was crazy, but he wanted Teyla, and he would do anything to get her back.
