A/N: A couple things that may or may not be of importance.
Some of you will have noticed the last Story in the Chronicles was 24 and this is 26, that's because there is at least one partially written story that takes place between then and now, if not two. It's been approximately a six months to a year since Tegan and Janet moved and things are going really well. Tegan hasn't been majorly injured or sick, and her team hasn't been captured by Goa'ulds. Now that being said, we know that Tegan's life couldn't be entirely peaceful for a whole year... so there's a little incident that occurred, but the details aren't important to this story. If you don't want spoilers for the unposted story then just skip ahead to the Prologue.
Randall Kiser, Tegan's father is dead.
Margaret Scully, Dana's mom is renting out Janet's old house and although she doesn't really know what goes on inside the mountain she knows it's dangerous.
The Tegan Chronicles
Intuition and Lies
Prologue
Janet cleared her throat as she watched the maître d' approach. "You've got company."
Tegan turned her head in the direction of Janet's glare, a smile spread across her lips. "Greg!"
"Tegan," He greeted as she stood and pulled her into a tight hug. When he released her, he looked at her dinner companion noting her cool expression. "Dr. Fraiser, sorry to interrupt your dinner, but I'm only in town for one night."
"How'd you know where to find us?" Tegan sat back down as the maître d' returned with an extra chair.
"Yes please tell." Janet fought the urge to roll her eyes.
"I stopped by the house, well actually you're old place and of course you don't live there anymore so I went to Janet's house and luckily Dana was there, because her mom wasn't going to tell me anything. Dana told me she thought you two were going out tonight, and called Cassie who confirmed your whereabouts."
"So you're just here for one night?" Tegan spoke to keep Janet from unleashing the dragon inside.
"I'm on my way to a medical conference in Arizona, but I made sure I got an overnight layover here."
"What's so important?" Janet's voice lacked the animation of Tegan's.
Greg took a deep breath and let it out in a burst. "I'm getting married."
Tegan's smile grew as Janet's expression relaxed slightly. "I'm so happy for you."
"Really?"
"Of course."
If he'd wanted a similar reaction to the last time he broke the same news to her, he wasn't going to get it. He smiled. "Good. I have a huge favor to ask."
"Ok?" She continued to train her attention on him.
"I'd like you to sing at the wedding."
"Seriously?"
"Of course."
"When is it?"
"In two months."
Tegan looked at Janet and Greg looked between the two women.
"You're both invited, of course."
Janet gave a slight nod. She couldn't tell Tegan no if she wanted to, not that she did.
"I'll have to check my mission schedule and put in for leave, but I think I'll be able to do it."
"Excuse me." Janet stood and glanced toward the restroom and back at Tegan before retreating.
"So? Who is she?"
"A woman I met in Atlanta."
"Another doctor?" Tegan knew he didn't go on vacations, but that'd probably change once he had a wife to insist on it.
"No." He shook his head. "I was at a conference though when I met her."
"So give me the juicy details."
"She plays piano in a club."
"As in 'play me a song Mr. Piano man'?" Tegan grinned.
"As a matter of fact, yes."
"Is she any good?"
He blushed momentarily.
"I meant on the piano." Tegan rolled her eyes.
"Yes. And I knew what you meant."
"Uh huh, dirty mind."
"Is she ok with this?" He referred to Janet.
"Yeah, it's just we've been looking forward to a quite night out, just the two of us, since the move." It wasn't like they hadn't had time alone, but it was the first night they'd gone out with reservations and dressed to the nines.
"And I interrupted."
"It's ok." Tegan reached out and touched his hand. "I'm sure she understands."
"I hope so." He sighed as Tegan's phone rang.
"I'm sorry, I have to take this call." She depressed the answer button. "Kiser." There was a long silence before she spoke again. "I'll be there in about fifteen to twenty minutes."
"Gotta go?" Greg asked as she stood up.
"Yeah." She waited as he mimicked her. "Could you let Janet know and give her a lift home?"
"Sure thing." He flashed his pearly whites again.
"Thanks Greg. I'm really happy for you." She smiled and leaned in her lips pursed and aiming for his right check. He turned his head capturing her lips with his.
Janet walked out of the bathroom in time to see Tegan and Greg's lips lock. Tegan's half lidded eyes shot wide open and she lifted her hands to his biceps to push away.
Tegan blushed deeply. Even though their tongues had never touched and the kiss was brief it was still shocking that he'd go there. "You should save that for your fiancé."
Greg grinned his goofy little grin letting Tegan know the kiss had been intentional.
"Janet." Tegan looked between her and Greg, suddenly feeling guilty despite having done nothing wrong. "I just got called in, but Greg will give you a ride home if you don't mind."
"No, I don't." Janet eyed him. "Guess I get stuck with the bill."
"No," Greg interjected before Tegan could respond leaving her with her mouth opening and closing like a mute puppet. "I've got dinner. It's the least I can do for barging in."
"Thanks." Tegan leaned in and kissed Janet before whispering, "Love you."
"Do you love her?" Janet clicked her seat belt as Greg started the rental car.
"Who?"
It was a good question and caused Janet to pause. "Your fiancé."
The obvious answer would be yes, and most people about to get married would have answered the question already, without hesitation. Finally he said, "Yeah, I uh – I'm getting married."
Janet shook her head, as if that was an answer.
"We're compatible. She's funny. We have some common ground. Of course I love her."
"Are you trying to convince yourself?"
"No, I'm not. It's just she's not," He sighed. "Tegan."
Tegan slid silently under the covers.
"I thought you forgot to call."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
"You didn't." Janet spoke into the darkness.
"It wasn't a mission. I would have called, but I didn't plan to stay. SG8 brought back a creature from their latest mission, and by the time I got to base it was dead. I went to check on something and one thing led to another."
"And you ended up doing the entire necropsy?"
"Yeah."
Even in the dark Janet could tell her eyes were downcast. "It's ok, just give me a call next time after the debriefing so I don't worry."
"I will, I promise." She leaned over and kissed Janet much more passionately than the kiss that had transpired between her and Greg.
