Chapter 3

A couple days later, John and Ronon were sparring in the gym when an incident occurred that send them to the infirmay to see Dr. Keller. They were now on their way to the infirmary to have Dr. Keller take care of a wound on Ronon's arm.

Ronon looking at John with a watchful eye, "Hey, so what is going on between you and Teyla?"

John feigning ignorance, "What ya mean?"

"There is something going on between you and Teyla," Ronon replied accusingly.

"Buddy, I think you are imaging things."

"I don't think so…ever since we got back from the mission a couple of days ago, whenever you and Teyla are in the same room - the both of you act really strange. You guys tried to avoiding looking at one another. That is something that you guys don't normally do."

"I …I really don't what you are implying buddy. There is nothing going on between me and Teyla. We are not arguing or anything like that if that what you mean."

Ronon looked at John suspiciously for a moment and smirked, "Whatever man."

John rolled his eyes at Ronon. He knew Ronon didn't believe him. What may have happened between him and Teyla – was not something he wanted to discuss with his teammate and friend at the moment. He was still trying to deal with it himself.

John felt grateful that Ronon was willing to let it go for now and not pursue the topic of this conversation any further, he sighed with relief. Gone unnoticed by John was a knowing smile Ronon gave him as they entered the infirmary.

Ronon knew something was going on between his two friends and John's denial of it was the biggest lie of all because he has seen the way John and Teyla were with each other. It was obvious to him that John and Teyla had deep feelings for each other even if they did not know it themselves or they were too blind to see.

And he has been waiting and wondering for sometime now when the two of them will open their eyes and finally admit the truth to themselves and to each other. Maybe the time has finally arrived, he thought. Something definitely happened between John and Teyla on that ship. That he was sure of.

"Hey, doc! We need your assistance."

Dr. Jennifer Keller turned around upon hearing John's voice. "Not again," she said flustered.

She looked at John and then at Ronon shaking her head. Ronon was holding a white small cloth to his right arm. The white cloth was bloodied by the wound on his arm. Since her short time here on Atlantis, it had long become a common occurrence for either the Colonel or Ronon to come to her office after one of their sparring matches.

"Bring him over here, please." Pointing toward an empty bed as the two grinning faces greeted her exasperated expression.

In her quarters, Teyla was sitting on top of her bed, her eyes closed, legs crossed, arms resting on her thighs, meditating. But her thoughts were of John. Teyla knew it was crazy. Her avoidance of John for the past two days wasn't solving anything. She didn't know what to think or how to feel. She knew what was in her heart. But it was John's heart that was a mystery to her.

She thought she saw something in John's eyes. The sound at her door startled her out of her thoughts. She scurried off her bed to open the doors to her quarters. Teyla was taken aback when she saw the person that was on the other side of her door.

"Can I come in?"

"Ah,...I."

"I think we need to talk about what happen between us…you know back on the ship," John offered as he stood with his brow furrowed and lips pursed.

Teyla looking at John questioningly for a moment, "John, nothing happened between us," Teyla replied warily.

"I think that is the problem don't you!"

Teyla's brow arched.

The closing of Teyla's door signaled the changing of hers and John relationship.

The End.
