Chapter Two 'A Lie to Protect'

Teyla came into the infirmary for her monthly check up. She would be having her baby soon and didn't want to take any chances. Especially with the work that she does. "Hey Jen," Teyla said with a smile on her face.

"Hey," Jennifer said with a smile. "Get changed and we will start the exam," she said heading over to get some gloves.

Teyla changed into her gown and then went to sit on one of the beds. "So," Teyla said. "How have things been?" She asked. "We haven't really talked lately," she said softly.

Teyla was always nice to her and made her feel extremely welcome. "Not much," Jennifer said coming over to her. "Just," she said but stopped.

"What?" Teyla asked causing her to look up.

Teyla and Sam were the only ones who knew the truth about her real life. "I uh," Jennifer said taking a deep breath. "Ronon found my scar," she said softly.

"Oh god," Teyla said looking at her with sympathy. She knew that Jennifer was very private about her life. John didn't even know her true history. "What did you tell him?" She asked.

"Nothing," Jennifer said. "A patient came in and he just left," she said. 'I hope he forgot," she said looking down.

"I have seen the scar," Teyla said. "He is not going to forget," she said. "Maybe you should just tell everyone about your past," she said causing her to shake her head.

"I can't I am not ready," Jennifer said causing her to nod.

"Okay," Teyla said touching her face. "Lets just get back to my baby huh," she said with a smile and she smile back.

"Thanks Teyla," Jennifer said before beginning her exam. About an hour later. "Well everything is perfect," she said softly. "Your baby is healthy and so are you," she said. "In a month or so we will have a new bundle of joy to the team," she said smiling.

"I am just so nervous," Teyla said putting her clothes back on. "What if I am a bad mom?" She asked causing Jennifer to come to her.

"Trust me your heart is to pure to be a terrible mother," Jennifer said. "And I know about terrible mothers remember," she said causing her to nod.

"What are you going to do about Ronon?" Teyla asked causing her to sigh.

"I don't know," Jennifer said. "I will think of something," she said softly.

"So," Teyla said grabbing her jacket. "How did he find the scar anyway?" She asked with a smile causing her friend to look back.

"Bye Teyla," Jennifer said causing her to laugh.

"Bye," Teyla said before walking out of the room. Jennifer decided to take her lunch break with a run through the woods. She finished some more paper work before heading to change.

Teyla was in the cafeteria eating alone when Ronon came over to her. "Hey," Ronon said causing her to look up.

"Hello," Teyla said before taking a bite of her food. He just sat there in silence and she arched her eyebrow. "Is there something you needed?" She asked.

"Jennifer," Ronon said out right.

"Well," Teyla said slightly laughing. "I can't help you with that," she said.

"Not what I meant," Ronon said slightly glaring at her. "I meant I want to ask you something about her since you guys talk and stuff," he said causing her to put down her fork.

"What do you want to know?" Teyla asked. "And remember I won't break any confidence," she said holding up her finger and he nodded.

"A scar," Ronon said softly. "On the back of her neck," he said. "It has the initials S.D.," he said causing her to look down. "What are they?" He asked. "I can see you know," he said.

"I do," Teyla said. "But that is something you are going to have to ask her," she said causing him to nod. "I think I saw her head out for a run," she said.

"Thanks," Ronon said standing up from the table.

"Hey," Teyla said causing him to turn back. "How did you find that scar anyway?" She asked causing him to groan and then walk away. She just laughed before going back to eating.

Jennifer was doing her usual stretches not noticing that she was being admired. "You know I never notice before but the doc is hot," a technician said.

"Yeah but she is so meek," another technician said with a scrunched look on his face. "She wouldn't be that much fun," he said with his arms crossed.

"Trust me once I get her bent over a table," the technician replied. "She won't be meek anymore," he said laughing with his buddy.

"Hey," Ronon said hearing the entire conversation.

"Ronon," technician replied. "Take a look at the view," he said nodding his head.

"Yeah," Ronon said before pinning him to the wall. "She is a good friend of mind so I suggest you keep those kinds of thoughts to yourself understand and show some respect," he said.

"Y-Yes Ronon," the technician replied in fear. Ronon let him go and they both took off down the hall. Ronon went over to her slowly and admired the view himself.

"Nice view," Ronon said causing her to look up at him from a bent over position.

"Don't get use to it," Jennifer said causing him to laugh.

"Um," Ronon said softly. "Can I ask you something?" He asked.

"The scar," Jennifer said sitting down on the floor and he sat with her.

"Yes," Ronon said causing her to sigh.

"Um," Jennifer looked over at him. "A past relationship," she said lying through her teeth.

"Oh," Ronon said nodding his head. "Didn't end well?" He asked.

"No," Jennifer said. "He was very abusive," she said softly. "So I ended but unfortunately I have a memory of him still," she said. "I was a stupid young girl," she said.

"You are never stupid," Ronon said touching the side of her face. Jennifer knew she couldn't tell him her secret. She knew once she did he would run away from her. She didn't want that.

"Well," Jennifer said standing. "I better get on that run," she said.

"Want some company?" Ronon asked causing her to smile.

"I would like that," Jennifer said walking out the door with him in tow. They had been running for about a couple of hours.

They had stopped in back in the sparring room. Both of them collapsed onto the ground and laughed a little. "You cheated," Ronon said referring to their race.

"I can't help it that your judgment is clouded by my appearance," Jennifer said gloating about her image which she never did until she met Ronon.

"That is true," Ronon said rolling over so that he was hovering her. Jennifer looked deep into his eyes as he ran his hand over her face.

Ronon lowered down eyeing her lips the entire time. As they were about to kiss once again her com-link went off. "This is Jennifer," she replied causing Ronon to groan.

"Doc," a female voice said on the other end. "We are overloading with patients we could use some help," she said.

"I will be right there," Jennifer said getting up off the floor. "Well," she said looking down at him. "Thanks for the run," she said before heading back to the infirmary.

It was true she did lie to Ronon today. But it was a lie to protect him. To protect herself.
