Note: Do you know that feeing? You know the one I'm talking about. The one where you have no reason for writing. I have no idea why I have this feeling, I just have to write this. I don't even know where it's going. Bare with me.
John came onto the balcony. He lent against the railing. She was gone and there was nothing he could do about. He'd lost her. She wasn't coming back. None of them were coming back. Because of the Genii. So now, he watched, waiting, but for what, he didn't know. He just knew that he would always be waiting. For the time they were reunited. If they'd be reunited.
The door to the balcony opened. Elizabeth stood at the doorway. She didn't know what she expected. She knew he wouldn't be here. She wiped a tear from her eye. A hand placed itself on her shoulder. It was Aiden.
"Elizabeth, the Puddle Jumper is ready."
She nodded.
"I'll be right there."
Aiden nodded and left her, she took one last look out to the balcony before leaving.
She entered the Puddle Jumper and it flew high above the ocean. He wanted his ashes committed to the ocean, the ocean he loved so much. He wanted Elizabeth to spread his ashes there. He made her promise, she'd honour that promise.
The Jumper lost acceleration and dropped just over the water. The back of the Jumper opened. Elizabeth walked over to the back and carefully opened the vase; she spread his ashes, slightly crying as she did. Aiden placed his arms around her. Elizabeth looked to her side. Rodney was gently holding Teyla as she cried. He was trying to hide his own tears but failing. Elizabeth relaxed into Aiden's arms. She'd been strong since it happened. She couldn't be strong anymore.
John was still stood on the balcony. Still waiting for a sign, he didn't know what sign but he knew he know it when he saw it. John heard a noise. He turned, he saw her. His sign. His Elizabeth. She just walked right through him. That's when he realised. When she passed through him and lent on the balcony crying. That's when he knew.
Fin…
I really hope that made sense. For the record, John is a ghost. He's dead. Just an idea, while reading this (If you have it) listen to 'Sacrifice' from Buffy episode 'The Gift'. It might just me but I just think this song works well with it.
