Summary: A desert adventure has Dr Ellie Harrison dancing with a stranger to save not only her own life but the lives of the people she cares for the most.


The infirmary began to finally clear as one by one Dr Beckett gave everyone a clean bill of health and they all headed for the briefing room.

Ellie hung back though, making sure Lorne didn't notice as she turned to the Beckett.

"Could you do me a favour?", she asked and Beckett eyed her.

"Depends what it is lass?", he replied although a smile hovered on his mouth as he looked at her.

"The blood you just took from me, could you do a pregnancy test for me?", Ellie asked and Beckett raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes of course. Come back after the briefing and I'll have the result for you".

"Thanks", Ellie said rushing toward the door just as Lorne re-entered to see where she'd got to.

"Everything ok?", he asked and she nodded.

"Yes…fine", she replied, grinning at him and Lorne returned her smile, eager to get the briefing over with.

He wasn't on his own with that thought.

As they all gathered around the table in the briefing room with Dr Weir, Lyssa couldn't help staring at Sheppard from where she sat opposite him.

She had already squared it with Ronon that he would pick up Connor along with Hope and watch him for a while whilst she was alone with Sheppard and she couldn't wait for Weir to end the meeting.

Lyssa's foot made it's way to Sheppard's leg under the table and she watched as his eyes flew to hers as it inched higher and higher and she slid further down in her seat so that she could reach his groin area.

Lorne, who was usually very on the ball in briefings, found that his mind was wandering as well as his hand and he slid it up Ellie's thigh underneath the hem of her dress.

From the corner of his eye he saw her shift slightly in her seat and he bit back a smile as he inched his hand a little higher and moved it along her inner thigh, making her squirm a little more.

Finally, Weir dismissed them and they all made a mad dash for the doorway, fleeing in different directions.

Lorne grabbed Ellie's hand and went to pull her toward the level changer but she stopped him.

"I just need to get something from the lab…..meet me in my room".

"Don't be long", he said and she smiled as they parted company.

Lyssa grabbed Sheppard's hand as they exited the room and he looked at her.

"So…….", he said, knowing that she wanted to talk but also knowing he wanted to make love to her so badly that he was aching.

"Let's go back to our room", Lyssa said, pulling him along and they just caught the level changer before Lorne shut the doors.

Lorne left them when they reached Ellie's door and they carried on to their room, neither speaking until their doors were shut behind them.

Lyssa opened her mouth to say something but her words were muffled as Sheppard kissed her, his hands encircling her waist and pulling her closer in against his hard body.

When he finally wrenched his mouth from hers she gasped for air, then groaned as his lips moved to her neck, his mouth driving her crazy and she caressed his shoulders lovingly and pulled at his T-shirt.

He let go of her long enough to pull it over his head and then he grabbed her again.

"John……about mmnn….Carly…….", Lyssa tried but Sheppard covered her mouth again with his, stopping any talk yet again.

When they came up for air, Sheppard unzipped Lyssa's top, his hands delving inside to cup her breasts and Lyssa groaned as he flicked his thumbs across her nipples.

"John….you have to let me tell you about how sorry……", she stopped abruptly as Sheppard's mouth covered one nipple and he bit gently upon it causing her mouth to make a perfect O shape.

He smiled against her skin, pleased that he had been able to shut her up yet again.

He straightened and wrapped an arm around her waist.

He manoeuvred her back toward the bed and lowered her backwards onto it and she clung onto him, her arms around his neck.

"John…..", she tried one last time but he shook his head at her.

"The only thing I want to hear from you is the date that our wedding is going to take place. Anything else doesn't matter", he told her and Lyssa's eyes misted over unexpectedly.

"I love you", she murmured and Sheppard kissed her forehead tenderly.

"I love you too", he replied.

After that, all tenderness faded into the background as they tore at one another's clothes and it wasn't long before Sheppard was nestled in between Lyssa's thighs.

Sheppard pushed his body into Lyssa's, each slow, measured thrust was just a little deeper than the one before and Lyssa let out a soft sensual purr and moved her hands down his back to grip his firm buttocks.

With a groan, Sheppard lowered his chest to feel the mounds of her breasts, firm and naked against him.

As it had always been when she and Sheppard made love, Lyssa's orgasm came out of nowhere and she gasped and moaned into his ear, her finger nails digging into his buttocks making him thrust against her even harder as he continued on loving her.

Eventually Sheppard couldn't wait any longer and as he felt and heard Lyssa explode again beneath him, he gave in to his own bodies' needs and let himself enjoy his own release.

Eventually he collapsed, half on top of her, half on the bed beside her and Lyssa turned her head to smile at him lazily.

"So…..a date for the wedding…….", she murmured.

OOoOO

Ellie left the infirmary and quickly made her way to her room where she knew Lorne would be waiting.

She opened the door and stepped inside.

She was greeted by the sight of Lorne's uniform and boots on the floor by the bed and the sound of the shower running.

She moved into her bathroom, her heart beating wildly as she saw him taking a shower and she had a perfect view of his naked behind.

She could tell he hadn't heard her because he didn't turn around and she watched, smiling as he began to hum a tune, rather badly.

She began unbuttoning her dress and was just sliding it from her shoulders when Lorne turned and spotted her.

He watched as she removed the rest of her clothes and then he opened the shower door and pulled her inside.

As the hot water rained down upon them, Ellie wrapped her arms around Lorne's neck and tilted her face up to his.

His mouth met hers gently at first, teasing her with light kisses before deepening, his tongue twirling with hers.

Ellie groaned and pressed against him as he slid his hands down her back and cupped the cheeks of her bottom, pulling her in tight against him so that his erection was pressed against her stomach.

Ellie pressed herself closer still, crushing her breasts against his chest as he gripped one of her thighs and raised it, hooking it over his lean hip so that he could slide his fingers against her moist opening.

"Evan….", Ellie moaned against his mouth, gasping as he suddenly moved and picked her up.

He braced her back against the shower wall and thrust into her in one easy movement, totally robbing Ellie of the ability to speak as she was overwhelmed by the sensation of being filled by him so thoroughly.

She held onto his shoulders and wrapped her legs around him as he continued to thrust against her, his mouth kissing her neck and face as she began to moan and sob.

Lorne groaned and he gritted his teeth as he felt his own pleasure begin to build but he would not let go until Ellie had.

A few more thrusts sent stars racing before Ellie's eyes and as she cried out, Lorne thrust even harder into her to bring about his own climax.

They clung to each other for a few moments and then Lorne gently eased her off of him and set her back onto the floor of the shower.

They quickly got clean and dried off, then got into bed.

"I have something to tell you", Ellie said as she snuggled close to him and Lorne looked down at her head as he replied,

"Okay", in a rather suspicious tone that made Ellie smile.

"I am pregnant", she said, listening to Lorne's heartbeat quicken in his chest.

Suddenly she found herself flat on her back with Lorne hovering above her.

"Why didn't you tell me before we……..I could have hurt the baby….I would've been gentler", he said in a rush, his voice full of concern but Ellie merely smiled and reached up to touch his face.

"But I didn't want you to be gentle", she said huskily and Lorne smiled, turning his face into the palm of her hand and kissing it.

"I'm going to be a dad", he said, lowering his mouth to hers as she nodded.

"Yes…you are", she replied eventually.

"I love you", Lorne said, pulling her close again and Ellie sighed happily.

"I love you too".
