Amelia looked up to see John was walking her way and he had a try in his hand and he smiles when he sees her sitting there and she leans her head down because whenever she was around the man she would start to feel like a teenage girl again. Amelia shook her head because there was no way he would be in to someone like her

"Morning."

The sound of his deep voice pulled her out of the duty thought that was on her mind as her she looked up and let her eyes traveled over his boy as he sat down across from her and she could see he was doing the same to her and it made her feel self conscious.

"Good morning, Colonel." She said giving him a shy smile." I have not seen you much of you this past two days. You been busy?" She asked him as she took a pit out of the strawberry that was in her hand.

"MY-my aren't we being formal today aren't we Miss Blackmore." John says as he looked down to her lips as she took another bit of the strawberry. And he was mentally hitting himself for the through that he was having about her at this very moment.

"Oh, I am sorry." Amelia said as she eat the lat of the strawberry as she leans in over the table and she but a smile on her face." I should have said. Lieutenant colonel."

He gave her a wicked smile, then he laugh softly as he to leans in over the table." I` will let that on slide." He says as he let the smile faded." This time." He tells her as the stared at each other.

"Can we join you?" A voice asked.

Amelia turns her head, to see Carson and Ronon standing there with tray`s in their as they both looks between the two. Amelia cannot help but lean back in her chair when she sees the grin Ronon is giving her.

"No-no." She says as she pulls the chair beside her out for Carson to sit in.

Amelia sees Carson taking a step over to the seat but Ronon walks in front of him and sit down on the seat beside her.

"Thanks." He tells before he takes a piece of toast in to his mouth.

She looks down at the plate of food and then back up at Ronon."Where do you put all of that food?" She asked him with as she raised eyebrow at him.

"I am a growing man."

"That you are." Amelia says with a laugh.

"So when are you leaving?" Carson asked her as he puts his cup down on the table.

"You are going somewhere?" John asked.

"Yeah. Major Loren is taking me to the XY4-M25." Amelia said with a smile on her face. She looked down at her watch."Oh, I have to get going our I am going to be late."

She pushed away from the table as she picked up her tray." Sorry I need to go get ready." She tells the three men with a smile on her face a she walks away. She reaches the door, she turned to look back, and she saw he had turned to look at her. She did not know what was going on between them, but she did know she liked how it was making her feel.

John turned back when he saw her walking out of the mess hall.

"What do you think you are doing?" John asked as he turned to Ronon with an ittaried look on his face.

"What?" Ronon asked as he looked over at Sheppard as he eats some of the fruit there was left on his plate.

"Yea what is he doing? Colonel." Carson asked as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Did Sheppard tell you he has the hoots for your friend?" Ronon said as he took the last of the toast in to his mouth.

"Do you know?" Carson said as he turned in his chair to look at the colonel.

"What-I-"John didn't know what to say when he say the way Carson were looking at him." Ronon likes her to." He said pointing his finger over at Ronon.

Carson turned to look at Ronon "What is the bloody matter with you to lads?" Carson said in a iatrraid tone in his voice.

"What?" Ronon and John said at the same time.

"Amelia is a good girl and I don't need her to be scared out of the city, by the likes of you to." Carson said as he took his tray in to his hands as he got out of his chair and walked over to the table were Zelenka and McKay were sitting at.

Later that same day

Amelia was walking down the hallway, she was and tired and she had covered in mud. The only thing that was on her mind was a nice warm shower and hen a good nap was what she needed.

"Going somewhere?" A arm suddenly shot out in front of her.

She looked up to see John standing there, and she was about to say something when he turned his head and that is when she saw it, his skin had started to turn a bluish color and it looked scaly and up his neck where what looked like small spicks

"John what happened to you?" She asked him worried as she looked in to his eyes but it was not the hazel one that where staring back at her, these eyes looked more catlike.

"You been trying my patience the last two weeks, you know that?" He asked her as he looked down the hallway to make sure they were alone.

"Sorry. What?" Amelia asked him feeling confused at what he was saying.

John turned on her and she took a step back because she swears she saw lust in his eyes as he took another step closer to her and she tried to move further away from him, but her back hit the wall behind her and she stood there frozen as she looked in to his catlike eyes.

John moved closer to her, and when he saw her moving away from him, something inside of him gat a trill out of that. He traps her between his hands and the wall as he leans in to run his nose against her neck and he lets out a moan when he smells a hint of apples and vanilla.

Amelia knows she should push him away because there was something wrong with him. However, when she felt his nose running up and down her skin she couldn't help herself, it felt so good.

John smiled to himself for a few second. However, he turned his head to the side when he heard feet running down the hall.

"You mine!" John growled at her.

Before she could say anything, he sank his teeth in to the side of her neck.

Amelia`s eyes when wide when she felt his teeth bit down on her neck." What the hell are you doing"? She screamed at him as she tried to push him of her. But as she pushed at him, he pulled her closer to him as he kept on sucking and biting her neck.

"Sheppard get off her." She hears Ronon voice yelling down the hallway.

"Ronon! Get him of me." Amelia yelled as she turned to see Ronon and some of the marines running their way.

"Sheppard that this enough" Ronon yells as he pulls John of her and he pushed him to the off to the other side.

John looked straight at Amelia as he tried to get his breathing under control, but when he sees one of the marine walking over to touches her arm, he felt the growl coming from deep within him.

"Don't touch her." John growled the marine.

"What?" the young marine asked as confused as he puts his hand on her arm.

Before anyone know what is happening, john is on the man pulling him of her and he punched him up against the wall as he moves his fist to him, But a blast him on the side and he turns his head to find Ronon pointing his gun at him.

"You can`t have her." John says to Ronon as he hits the marine hard in the face before he turns to Ronon. His face filled with angry and when Ronon doesn't say anything, it only makes the anger within him grow as he walks to ours Ronon. Only to have Ronon hits him again whet the blast and it takes two more before he goes down.

"What the hell happened to him?" Amelia asked as she moved her hand up to touch her neck and she feels something stick on her fingers.

"You should come with us to the infirmary." Ronon says as he sees blood on her hand.

"Why?" Amelia asked as she rubbed her hand over her neck, but when she sees Ronon pointing to her hand she move her hand to her face, and se she sees blood all over her fingers.

Ronon tapped his finger to his earpiece." Doc, this is Ronon.

"Go ahead, Ronon." Carson replied.

"I am bringing Sheppard and Amelia to you." He told him as he nodded his head at the two marines and the picked Sheppard up and walked down the hall.

"Why are you bringing Amelia?" Carson voices asked with worry in his voice.

"Sheppard bit her." Ronon said as he put his hand on her back as they walked down the hallway.

"Am I hearing you right? He bit her?"

"Yea and it looks deep." Ronon said as he looks down at the wound on the side of her neck.

"Dear lord."

Later in the infirmary. Amelia was sitting on the bed as Carson cleaned up the mess Sheppard had done to her neck.

"There you go love." Carson told her with a smile on his face.

"Thank you Carson." Amelia said as she looked over at the bed John was laying in.

"How is he doing?" She asked as she looked away from John so she could look at Carson.

"I had to put him in a coma." Carson told her as he turn back to look at Sheppard.

"But he will be okay. Right?" Amelia asked as she got out of the bed as she walked over by his bedside and she looked down at him as she moved some of the hair away from his face.

"Why did you think he bit you?" Carson asked.

"He said, I smelled good-"Amelia looked over at Carson with wide eyes as an idea came to her. You couldn't get the eggs you need because the bugs knew you didn't belong there right?"

"Aye?" Carson told her.

"They could smell you're sent." Amelia said.

"Oh. my god. You are right!" Carson says as he turned around to look at her.

"He could walk right up to the nest and collect the eggs himself," Amelia said as she walked around the bed.

"And they wouldn't care, because he would be giving out the same pheromone as the iratus bug." Carson said as he meets her half way.

"Exactly."

"I got to tell. Dr. Weir." Carson said as he tapped his earpiece.

"Elisabeth it I Carson. We found something. Get her quick

Amelia looked up when she saw Elisabeth walking in to the infirmary.

"What do you have? Carson" Elisabeth asked him.

Carson turned to them." We-"He said as he pointed to Amelia and them himself. We think, we should let Colonel Sheppard collect the eggs himself.

"You said yourself, that colonel Sheppard is not himself and you want to let him-"

"The colonel has turned more like the iratus bug so he is producing trace of the signature pheromone"

"Wait!" Elisabeth said as she held up a hand." You saying that colonel Sheppard could walk-"
"And they wouldn't mind him one bit." Carson tells her

"Dose that no mean you have to –"
"Yes. We have to give him a dose of the inhibitor." Carson tells her.

"Sheppard wanted a fighting chance and you just gave it to him." Elisabeth said with a smile on her face.

Carson nodded his head as he when to get the inhibitor drug. A few minutes later, he administered it and stepped back to see how Sheppard would react. A few minutes' later John eyes snapped open and he looked around him with an expression of pain and angry on his face.

"John? You are in the infirmary." Elisabeth tells him.

"Sorry about the headache, Carson said." It is a side effect of the inhibitor.

"Did I hurt anyone?" John asked in concern.

"No, not seriously." Elisabeth told him.

"Did Ronon shot me?" John asked with disbelief on his face.

"You had it coming." Elisabeth tells him with a smile on her face.

"Amelia is here?" John asked.

Elisabeth looked confused at Sheppard as she saw him sniffing the air around him. "Yes?" She said as she turns to look at Amelia. "How did you know?"

"I can smell her." John said as he saw her moving out from behind Carson and he let a smile come to his face as she said her name.

"John you need to listen, because we don't have much time." Amelia says as she takes his hand in hers."The inhibitor drugs will only last and hour." Amelia tells him.

"How would you like go on a mission?" Elisabeth asked him.

John nodded his head, Carson explained about the pheromones protecting him from the bugs in the cave, and within minutes, John was draped in a hooded cloak. John turned to look at Amelia before he turned and walked out of the infirmary.

Two hours later

Amelia walked in to the infirmary to find it a bit crowded in there and she stopped when she saw Elisabeth and his teams were all standing around his bedside. She smiled to herself as she leaned in the door way as she looked over at John and when she looked up she saw Carson smiling at her and she smiled back because she knew John would be okay
