Day 14
The next morning was very busy. Torren woke early so John got up with him and left Teyla to sleep. John started to pack up some of their things and Torren followed him around helping. Soon John had nearly everything packed away and Teyla woke up. John had a few things packed for the pool and as soon as Teyla was dressed, they left to get some breakfast. The three of them ate a good sized breakfast and then returned to the swimming pool.
"Fsh." Torren said when he saw the pool.
"We'll go into the water in a while." John assured as they set their things down.
"Fsh." Torren repeated and clapped his hands.
"There are no fish in the pool." Teyla said confused as they sat down.
"He's just excited about the water." John grinned "I'll have to bring him to the pier more often when we get back. There will be lots of fish."
"Yes he will enjoy that." Teyla replied as she smiled at her son who was playing with his aeroplane.
After half an hour of sitting quietly Torren started getting bored and was trying to get to the pool.
"Alright we get the message." John laughed as he picked the little boy up and brought him back to Teyla. "You ready to go for a swim."
"Yes of course." Teyla replied
The three of them got changed and walked down the steps into the water. Torren happily splashed around in the water as John held him. The family had a great time in the pool swimming and splashing. They were just getting out when they saw Dave, Amanda, Jack and Sam arrive with their bags.
"Hey guys." John greeted as Teyla smiled her greeting. "Let us get dried and then we can go."
"Sure." Jack agreed and they waited while John and Teyla gathered their things. When they were ready they went to the room and dumped their bags and waited for John, Teyla and Torren to shower.
"This room is really fantastic." Amanda said as she looked around. "We should stay here the next time we come here."
"It really is nice." Sam agreed. "It's a nice family room."
"Hopefully next time we will need one." Jack said with a grin.
A few minutes later John returned to the room with Torren in his arms.
"Teyla will just be out in just another minute." John said as he sat Torren on the floor.
Teyla joined them a few minutes later and the group went to the mall nearby. They spent an hour or more shopping and then went to a restaurant for some lunch. They had a very enjoyable lunch and afterwards returned to the hotel. Teyla put Torren down for a nap while they packed up their things. He had only been sleeping for half an hour when it was time to go. John gently woke him up and got him ready.
John had called for two taxis and they were waiting for them after they checked out of the hotel. The trip to the airport was quick but Torren was cranky because he was tired. When they got to the airport, they quickly checked in and then when to the lounge to relax until the flight was called. John was playing with Torren trying to keep him quiet. Eventually their flight was called and they boarded and took their seats.
"I'm sorry that the honeymoon is over but right now I can't wait to get home." John said as he bounced Torren in his arms.
"I know what you mean." Jack agreed "Can't wait to get back."
"Yeah." Dave agreed as they announced take off.
As soon as they were in the air, John put his seat back and Torren lay on his chest. Soon they were both fast asleep. The others didn't comment on it and let them sleep. John woke a few times but when he saw Torren was still asleep he went back to sleep. They both when the pilot announced they were landing. As soon as the plane touched down John handed Torren over to Teyla so that he could grab the bags they had with them. Soon they were off the plane and collecting their luggage.
"This is it, the end of the honeymoon." Jack sighed. "Back to real life."
"Yeah." Sam sighed in agreement.
Let's go see if the cars are there and we can have some dinner before you have to head back." Dave suggested and the others nodded in agreement. A limo was waiting outside for them and they all pilled in. The journey back to Dave and Amanda's house was very quiet. Everyone was upset at the thought of being back and lost in their own thoughts. Dave rang ahead and dinner was nearly ready by the time they arrived. John brought Torren upstairs and changed his diaper before joining the others at the table. Torren was put in the highchair and John started feeding him while the dinner was served. They all tucked in and ate their fill all reluctant to finish. When they had finished desert it was time for John, Teyla, Torren, Jack and Sam to leave. Jack rang Stargate command and was advised that the Daedalus was standing ready.
Dave and Amanda hugged everyone goodbye before they were engulfed in the white light. Jack and Sam were transported to Washington and the others were transported back to Atlantis.
"Colonel, Teyla." Keller gasped as they landed in the infirmary. "You're back."
"Ah yeah." John replied "I thought we were going to the gate room."
"Woolsey asked Colonel Caldwell to drop you straight here so all of you can be checked over."
"Oh great." John sighed but sat on the nearest bed with Torren in his arms. "Do what you have too."
Teyla took Torren out of John's arm so that he could be examined and Jennifer quickly started her work. She tutted when she saw the gunshot wound and the story behind it. After taking some blood, she gave him a clean bill of health and then started Teyla's exam. After her blood test she too was pronounced healthy. Lastly Torren was examined and when that was done they returned to their room.
"Our Honeymoon is really over." Teyla sighed as she collapsed onto the couch after putting Torren down.
"Yeah it is." John agreed with a sigh as Torren started whinging. "I think it's time for bed."
"Yes." Teyla agreed "It has been a long day."
They both got up again and together got Torren bathed and changed for bed. They both put him into his crib and kissed him goodnight. They were both so tired that they too decided to go to bed. They stripped out of their clothes and climbed into bed and snuggled together closely.
"Tomorrow will be start or our real life as a married couple as a proper family." John said tiredly.
"Yes." Teyla agreed "It will be a wonderful life together. But we still have to have the Athosian ceremony. We will have it as soon as we return."
"I love you Teyla." John replied
"And I you." Teyla added and after a passionate kiss they went to sleep.
A/n: Thank you so much for the reviews. This was going to be the last chapter but I have been asked to write a chapter with the group returning home. I have writing this chapter but I don't know when I'll have it finished and get it up.
