Ch1
Today was supposed to be fun for everyone. Col. Carter had ordered that the next two days were mandatory days off. It was the one year anniversary of their defeat of the wraith. Everyone was excited tonight they were going to have a big party. Lt. Col. John Sheppard was sitting in the mess hall with the rest of his team. As they were finishing up their eating McKay and Ronon Dex were arguing over something. He honestly wasn't paying them any attention. He was watching Teyla help her two year old son eat Torren. To him it was a beautiful sight. When the call came over the P.A. system it shattered his little dream world.
"All security personnel report to the gate room. Unauthorized wormhole activation."
Rodney and Ronan were already on their feet. John looked at them then at Teyla.
"Take Torren back to your quarters. Guys follow me." at their nods they left the mess hall.
When the team arrived at the control room they went directly to Sam. She and Major Lorne were having a whispered discussion. John walked up to them and was shocked at what he heard.
"I'm telling you Colonel. It's Sheppard's team I.D.C. Specifically Teyla's."
"Lower the shield. It could be one of her people. Security personnel on stand by until I give the order." she replied.
They sent the okay as the guards took their positions around the gate. Everyone watched in anticipation. The event horizon shimmer as a body began to appear followed closely by another. What shocked them was that both of them were children. One was a dark skinned boy about fourteen the other was a pale girl about eleven.
Once the gate had closed Sam gave the order to stand down. Sam, John, Rodney and Ronan all came out to see the new arrivals. Both children were dressed in leather pants with a cloak hiding the rest of their bodies. The boy was slightly tall and had a muscular frame for a boy his age. The girl was covered up mostly by her cloak but it didn't disguise her beauty. Her dark brown hair was done in many small braids that wrapped around the crown of her head. She had a willowy build and alabaster skin with deep aqua eyes. When she saw the team approach she hid behind the boy.
"Little Flower, we are safe now. There is no need to hide." he said with a smile over his shoulder. When she shook her head and stayed behind him he pulled her around and tucked her under his arm. She had a death grip on the doll in her arms.
Sam came around the mountain of men to talk to the children. She crouched down so that she was at their height. She plastered a bright smile on her face before addressing the boy.
"Hello there. I'm Sam. Can you tell me who you are and how you got that device?"
"I can not say. First I need to know what day it is?" he said in a formal manner.
"It is the fifth sun of the fifth moon. Do you seek of shelter?" Teyla replied who had just arrived and heard the boys' question.
"Then you already know to whom I belong, for my name has already been chosen and I have already been born. But she is still unnamed. So I will not answer for it could unravel things to come." he said in a commanding voice shocking the adults.
"We are children of the future. We were the only ones to survive an attack upon our home. We were given the code by you Col. Carter. That is all I can say at this time."
As soon as the last words left his mouth he collapsed. When he hit the floor everyone's minds were assaulted by a cry of true fear. As the medical team rushed to the boy everyone say the girl begin to shake him. She had big fat tears rolling down her face. When the medical team tried to touch him they were thrown across the room. A shimmering force field appeared around the children. The girl was protecting them. Ronon was the one who approached them. He sat down next to the girl.
"Little Flower, the healers will not hurt him. But they need to be able to reach him to fix him. We will take you with him. So that neither of you is without the other. Will you lower the force field please?"
To everyone's shock the field dropped and the girl leapt into Ronon's just sat there his eyes as big as dinner plates. The medics were finally able to reach the boy and put him on a stretcher. Everyone gasped at what they saw. There was a large puddle of blood on the floor were the boy had been. They got him on and rushed him to the infirmary calling for the doc on the way. The girl cried harder when he was no longer in the room. The sound of her cries knocked Ronon out of his shock.
"We are going Little Flower. Try not to cry. You will be with him soon." Ronon told her as stood up with her in his arms.
When he walked to the transporter Teyla saw that she had dropped her doll when she had leapt at Ronon. It was a doll from Earth. Teyla kept it knowing that the girl would want it soon. Sam and the team began to follow Ronon to the infirmary. What the girl said next shocked everyone to their core.
"Please save Torren, He is the only one left, I can't lose him too! Please daddy!"
All of their minds swimming with questions. The most important of them all, who was the girl's mother and how did they get here.
