(I do not own Stargate Atlantis. Thanks to all for reviewing!!)
John was setting an all time record of glaring at McKay.
"Stop it." Rodney sighed as he turned his back on John. He could still feel the glare of his friends eyes though.
John had been told, that the planet that was to save him was not only run over by giant creatures, it also had a time limit. For three days it was either day or night. Night was the more dangerous time and day was only a tad bit safer. So they were to sit on Atlantis until three days had passed so they could have three days of morning sun. John was ready to strangle McKay for telling them that.
Todd and Shilo walked inside the room. John still had his glaze on McKay until he noticed Shilo.
"I heard what had happened." Todd's voice brought McKay's attention from John's hatred filled eyes. Rodney really knew that Sheppard did not hate him, he was just mad.
"Well, I would rather be alive then dead, Sheppard does not think so though." McKay looked over to see John's attention drawn to Shilo. They were talking.
"Hey John." Shilo's voice had brought Sheppard out of his angry mood.
"Hello, did you hear?" John looked her over to see her wearing pants and a white shirt.
"Yes, what?" She felt odd under his graze.
"I'm just surprised to see you not wearing a dress, or something more formal." He cleared his voice nervously.
"I see. I need to ask you something."
"Go ahead." John stood up and walked towards the hallway.
"Where are you going?" Shilo sounded confused. Embarrassed Sheppard spun around and thought of an excuse.
"I…um…I am just stretching my legs, yea." John nodded his head up and down.
"Ok, anyway, I was wondering if you would like to come see my village."
"What? I thought you lived on the hives?" Sheppard looked down at her.
"Of course not. Most of us prefer to fly around the galaxy and conquering land rather than sitting on the ground. There are those select few who would rather live on a planet. Those wraith hold extra humans and that is where I grew up."
"Are we going now?"
"Yes, father needs to drop some things off and he thought it would be a good experience for you."
"Count me in." John smiled slightly.
"Good, we are leaving in a few." She spun and walked after her father.
"Sheppard, she needs to stop being around you."
"Why McKay?"
"She acts like you!"
"Is that a bad thing?" John returned his vision on McKay.
"Yes it is! One John Sheppard is bad enough. Two? The universe will be in trouble!"
"Thanks McKay, that means a lot to me." John grinned stupidly.
McKay rolled his eyes and walked away leaving Sheppard to gather his thoughts.
Several minutes later Sheppard was walking on the hive he had been living in for such a long time. Shilo was waiting for him.
"No one else is coming?" Her voice was hesitant.
"Ronon could not survive on a hive ship with wraith he could not kill. Teyla wishes to stay with her child. McKay has to stay here. He got injured in the fight with the wraith."
"I understand."
John then noticed that she had changed and was wearing a dark green dress. Before he began to speak he felt the ship shudder and take off into hyperspace.
"So, why did you change?" John was walking with her to the feeding chambers. She was hungry.
"My soon to be mate wanted me to."
John froze in the hallway as Shilo disappeared around the next corner. His mouth was wide open and he could not feel his legs. Before long he was racing after her. Graving her forearm he pulled her to a stop and forced her to turn around.
"What do you mean soon to be mate?" John's eyes where filled with anger.
"I have to have a mate John. There is no choice."
"Look, I am so confused right now. I thought you choose me!"
"You do not want me, I cannot wait around forever John. I am sorry, I must wed soon."
"Why, why now though?"
"I am almost an adult Sheppard. It is the way of the wraith. I am no choice."
John said nothing. For hours he walked around the ship. Talking to no one. Speaking only to himself. It could not be. Then the ship had stopped moving. They were there, at the settlement. John's heart snapped when he saw her with him.
Do not tell me that wraith do not have settlements on planets. I will ignore it. I wish to make some of them living on a planet, so be it. Ok that is all. Keep reviewing and you will get more. The next chapter will be more about Shilo.
