"Hey." Ronon grabbed the railing and used it to swing himself into a sitting position next to John.
"What are you doing up here?" John didn't turn to look at Ronon, instead he keep his focus on the far tower. He didn't want anyone to see him, not like this. He'd come up here to think. To give himself time to work out what was going on. What he was feeling.
"I was lookin' for you."
"You know you can see the whole city from up here?" John said but that's not why he came up here. From here he could see the personal quarters. Teyla's quarters. It was late but her lights were still on.
"It also makes a great place to hide." Ronon had kept his tone low, dry.
Ever since Teyla had told him she was pregnant he'd come up here every night and he would just watch her window and wait until she turned out her lights. John waited for her to go to sleep before he went back to his own quarters. "Yeah well, you found me."
"Took me an hour."
John focused on his feet that dangled over the edge of the tower. He knew that Ronon had already picked up the shake in his voice, he didn't need his red eyes to confirm why he was hiding up here. "I talked to Teyla."
"How is she?"
"Fine, well Keller said she was fine." John corrected. "She agreed that she wouldn't be going on anymore missions." John turned his attention back to the lights in Teyla's quarters, "But she said that if … she said how close she came to …" He couldn't work out what to say. What words to use. "If I'd waited her son would be dead." The words finally rushed out of his mouth.
"But you didn't wait?"
"No. Yes … I don't know."
"Okay."
"I mean what am I suppose to do? One minutes she Teyla. Our Teyla and now she's … she's having a baby."
"Someone else's baby."
"That's not it." But John had to admit that might have been his problem.
"It's not?" Ronon raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know. I mean she is hugging me telling me that I was right and all I can think is." John stopped himself suddenly as he realized what he was about to say.
"You wish she wasn't pregnant."
"No." His voice was strong and firm. "But I would give anything to go back and do the last six months over again." John finally turned to Ronon. "Hell just the last few weeks."
"Maybe you should go tell Teyla that."

Not sure if this is a one-shot or if I'll continue it.
