A/N: I got this idea while I was writing another story and well, it was one of those ideas that refuse to be ignored until you can deal with it. So here it is. Hope you guys like this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything or one in SGA. If I did a lot less shirts on Sheppard and Ronon.

Soldier Mom

"So, how long have you been here?" John asked the question of the newest member of Atlantis as they lay next to each other on the harsh ground of planet his team had been stranded on until morning. Ronon was across from him and Teyla was on his other side. Mckay was next to the person in question sound a sleep. No he was not sound a sleep for he was snoring quite loudly.

"I've been here for almost three weeks." Lt. Olivia Kingston stated softly as she tried to get some rest which was impossible to do.

"How long have you been a solider?" Ronon asked curiously

"Too long if you ask my commanding officer from when I was back home." she smiled at that. God how many times did he say I was done with? She wondered in amusement.

"That's the same thing my officers would've said to." John said as he thought back to the many times his commanding officers told him he'd never make it past Captain.

"I've been in the air force since I was eighteen." Lt. Kingston stated

"Wow you were just a baby when you joined." John stated as he looked over at her. She still looked too young to be in the military let alone a soldier that could shoot almost as good as Ronon.

"Yeah, but you couldn't tell me that then." she stated softly" The highlight of my day back then was getting under my commanding officers skin. I was always in trouble. I think I spent the majority of my time on my knees scrubbing..." she didn't get a chance to finish her sentence before Rodney yelped loudly getting their attention.

"What happened ?" John asked as he looked over at him

"Something bit me." he said rubbing the side of his face.

"Let me see." Lt. Kingston said as she went over to him to examine the bit.

"No, you're not a doctor I could be dying you know." Rodney protest, but Olivia wasn't listening as she shined her flash light on his face careful to avoid eye contact.

"What ever it was ran off, but it just looks like an ant bit are you allergic to them?" she asked as she took out some bit cream.

"No, but it's not an ant from earth what if it's mutated or something?" Rodney questioned

"Then you'll turn into ant man with special ant powers." Olivia joked

"Ha, ha, very funny." Rodney stated as he touched his face" Why is it slimy oh my god my skins turning into slime." he stood up now panicked as Olivia stood up with him.

"It's okay Dr. Mckay." she tried, but he wasn't listening to her

"It's not okay." he stated

"Mckay calm down and listen to her." John piped in as he too stood up.

"It's only medicine for your bite." Ronon stated as he remained sitting down.

"Oh." Rodney said as he calmed down and sat back down only this time he sat in Olivia's spot." What I'm not going back over there to get bit again."Olivia just shook her head trying to repress a smile.

"Okay now that all the excitement is done with people we need to get some rest." John stated as he sat back down.

Olivia had sat in the spot Rodney was laying next to Ronon. She sighed as she finally smiled. She liked working with Sheppard's team. Teyla and her were very close friends. Rodney for all his paranoia was very smart. John was a very good leader who often put his teams life and well being before his own. Ronon for all his quietness and unsociable behavior would risk his life in a heart beat for anyone. She settled in next to Ronon, but rest did not find her as easily as it did Rodney. She shifted in position which caused her arm to come in contact with Ronon's leg.

"Not use to sleeping on the ground." Ronon stated as he felt her arm touch his leg and saw her shift several more times before she sat up right.

"Something like that." she stated softly

"You get use to sleeping in bed after a while." Ronon informed her as he felt her settle in next to him. He tell she was cold from the shivers he felt go through her.

"It gets easier the more you do it." John said as rest seemed to avoid him too.

"Yeah I've heard that before." she said with a soft laugh as she settled back in to rest.

John getting the hint laughed too.

"You too just need to 'Make out' and get it over with." Rodney said as he thought about what Sheppard had said to him and Zelena during one of their many arguments.

"Aww, Rodney don't be jealous you know I just love smart guys compared to strong guys." Olivia teased lightly

This time Ronon let out a low chuckle.

Rodney on other hand mumble something she didn't quite here and went back to sleep.

Teyla chose to remain quite during this whole conversation. Her mind was on what she saw growing between two people who hadn't even realized it yet. She couldn't wait to see how it played out. It would be nice to see something good happen on Atlantis rather then the consisted fighting and life threatening things that often happened.
