I wanted to write a story with some romance and adventure. This is the first time that I am writing this type of story, I am excited and nervous at the same time.

So please let me know what you think!!

Chapter 2

John seethed with quite rage as he waited on the outside balcony for Teyla to meet him. His hands were outstretched and his fingers clasped the railing of the balcony as he lean in slightly over the railing. The calm on the ocean water did not reflect his interior turmoil. He watched as the whitecaps slowly crashed into the sunken part of the city. He heard the doors to the balcony opened and his body tense. He turned to see face of person with the approaching footsteps with his anger under control barely.

Teyla had observed John on the balcony as she approached the balcony. When she had spoken with him a few minutes ago on the comm., he seems angry. Watching John on the balcony he seems tense. "John, you wanted to see me?" Teyla inquired.

"What is this? Sam tells me that you and Ronon are going to check out some Intel regarding the whereabouts of your people," John questioned.

"Yes, we are. I was just about to come and," responded Teyla when John interrupted her.

"I just wanted to know when you were going to tell me about your decision," John questioned dryly.

Teyla's right brow lifted at the tone in John's voice. "As I was about to say before I was interrupted, I was coming tell you of my plans. I only made the decision last night after receiving word from the away team on Planet P12 that the Genii had provided them with some information regarding the disappearance of my people," she responded.

John's lips pursed at Teyla's comment. "I would have thought that you would have come to me first after receiving the news," John questioned as he stare at her intently.

"Everything happened so fast," Teyla replied uncertain because she could sense the anger that John was trying keep under his control and she was just not in the mood to argue with him at the moment.

"I don't like the fact that you made this decision without talking with me first Teyla. Don't you think you should of talk to me first before you made this decision?" John asked.

"I am in charge of the military command here. Most importantly, you are a value member of my team!" John stated bluntly.

"I am not part of your military! Therefore, I am not bound by your military rules and regulations," Teyla replies sternly.

"John, I chose to put my faith and trust in you and you still have both and I hope I still have yours. When I chose to be a member of your team, one of the reason, I made the decision to join you was that I truly believe that you and your people were the best hope for my people. I stayed when my self and my people came under suspicion by your military, but I will not allow you or anyone on Atlantis to dictate to me how and what to do to find people,'' Teyla said firmly.

"You know it could be a trap. You know we can't trust the Genii," John said.

"I am aware of that John. But any lead regarding the disappearance of my people, I will have to check it out, no matter what the danger is! John this is something that I need to do, and if you don't understand that, then I feel, you don't know me well at all," Teyla stated.

"Teyla of course, I know you. You will be surprise how well I know you!" replied John.

Teyla looked at John incredulously after his bold statement. If that was only true, she thought. He couldn't know that her feelings for him have grown stronger, so stronger that it scares her, the depth of her longings to be with him. To have him hold her at nights and whispered in her ears that everything will be alright. That she never felt so alone, as she does now. That she afraid that she will never find the answers regarding the disappearance of her people, or the quilt she feel that somehow that because of her association with John and his people it some how contributed to her people's disappearance. That right now her heart is broken and torn and for her the only thing that matters now is to find her people and she will do what she must.

Lost in her thoughts for a moment, she hoped that John did not notice her lapse. "Well," Teyla replied what else she could have said after a statement like that. She did however notice John's seething anger still mirrored in his eyes.

"I know you as well John. Why do I feel that something else is troubling you beside me not telling you of my decision to go the planet?" she questioned.

"I don't like to be kept out of the loop when it concern my team members that all!" John groaned.

Teyla sighed. She was starting to feel like a child being reprimanded by a parent and what ever patience she had left was slowly dissipating.

"How do you expect me to feel? I find out from Sam that two of my team members are leaving to check out a lead on another planet!" he hissed.

"John, I am sorry it was not my intention not to tell you of my decision," Teyla answered. "As I stated before, I only made this decision last night," as she continued with her reply. Teyla noticed that John shifted his stance, but his eyes never left hers.

"But you spoke to Ronon about this last night?" he said accusingly.

"We were training together last night when I received word of the Intel from the control room. I mentioned the planet's name and he told me he was familiar with planet and he offered to go me. We did not have any pending mission, so I did not think it would be a problem, and you must realized that even if there was a mission, I would still go to the planet. The whereabouts of my people is at stake," Teyla said sternly.

"Teyla, you know we have been doing everything we can to try and find your people and we will continue to do everything that we can to locate them," John uttered.

"I am aware of that. But you truly don't have any idea how I feel! Not knowing if my people are dead or alive! Wondering if I was there, whether I could have done something to help them or prevent what happened to them from happening!" exclaimed Teyla as she tried to hold on to her emotions as her eyes welled up with tears.

John saw the tears formed in Teyla's eyes. He felt as though he was punched in the gut. He wanted to take her in his arms and comfort her as she did for him a couple months back. He never realized how much the disappearance of Teyla's people had affected her. He felt like such an idiot. Without thinking he raised his finger to wipe the single tear that ran down her cheek.

Which this Teyla turned and walked away, leaving John even more frustrated. Frustrated at himself, at Teyla for not seeing how much he cared, and just plain frustrated with their lives in the Pegasus Galaxy in general.

Meanwhile….. Elsewhere in Atlantis…

When Ronon joined Rodney at the breakfast's table, he had questioned Rodney if everything was alright with Sheppard. Rodney who hadn't realized John annoyance at not finding Ronon and Teyla at breakfast's table, so he casually informed Ronon as far as he knew everything was alright and that John had only questioned the whereabouts of him, Ronon and Teyla. Ronon shrugged and decided to get a plate of food for him self and joined Rodney for breakfast.
