Teyla Sheppard

Teyla smiled at the women of the O'Neill family. She had met Sam but none of the other's, she kneeled down so that the little girls who Sam called Mary and Rebecca could look at Torren. They watched him for a minute but soon grew bored as he is sleeping and left to go play, the blond girl Cassandra followed them.

Sam and Isleen stayed to speak with her asking questions about her and Torren so they could get to know her better.

Teyla felt saddened for a moment when she mentioned Ke'nan but then John wrapped his arms around her and Torren and she smiled. John may not be Torren's biological father but Teyla knows that he loves the little boy as if he was his own.

As she looks down at their son she hopes, much as John does that now that all of Earth knows about the Stargate that Atlantis can come back home where she belongs. Teyla would come to, Pegasus had been her home for so long but John and Torren were her home now. She and Torren were the last of the Athosian's the other's had all been killed. Her people were dead but they would live on in her and her son who would be taught about them one day.

Teyla smiles as she is pulled over to the table to sit down. Everyone is called back to sit and eat. It nothing like the somber Athosian feasts that used to be or the slightly more cheerful ones held after they meant the Lantean expedition, but its loud and happy; children laughing and parents talking and everyone eating. Teyla thinking she might have finally found a home that no one could take from her.
