Chapter twenty-nine

Waking up the next morning, Natalie was confused – for one she was completely naked and secondly she was sleeping in a room that was most definitely not her's. Shaking her head to wake herself up Natalie sat up in bed and tried to remember what happened the night before, it was her birthday she knew that. Looking besides her Natalie soon remembered what had happened the night before and where exactly she was; she and Ronon had spent the night together in his room. They touched, felt and experienced every part of each others bodies as they could – they didn't just have sex, they showed each other exactly how they felt about one and another without the need to say anything.

With a big grin on her face Natalie laid back down on the bed besides Ronon and was just about to fall back asleep when she felt a very familiar had begin to draw design's on her back, glancing behind her Natalie stared at Ronon who was looking down at her with a playful smirk.

"Hey you," Natalie said with a smile on her face.

Ronon grinned back at her, "Though you were gonna just get up and leave when you woke up at first," he said looking at her intently.

Natalie shook her head at that, "I was just a tad bit confused at where I was for a second," she answered him.

"Not confused now?" Ronon asked as he started to gently kiss from her sternum up her neck and on her shoulder's.

"No," Natalie said to him shaking her head. "I know exactly where I am." she said and grabbed him by his face and pulled him up towards her so that she could kiss him properly. "I don't have anywhere that I would rather be." she said to him and rested her head on his very muscled and very naked chest and looked up at him.

Ronon glanced down at her, "Not that I'd let you go anywhere anyways." he said to her.

At that Natalie smiled, but gave a sheepish smile when her stomach growled. "Well you might have to let me go so that we can go to the mess hall, I'm starving after that exciting night."

Ronon sat up when she said that which forced Natalie to straddle him, forcing their naked lower bodied to be closely pressed together. "Or we could stay here, have some fun in bed." he suggested.

"No," Natalie said shaking her head. "No Ronon, I would love to really but food, I need food before we can have anymore sex. Seriously, you're going to sex me to death." she told him and got up and off of the bed.

He smirked, "Well can't let that happen now can we." he said as he got off of the bed and went to go and get dressed.

"RONON!" Natalie said to him.

He turned and looked at her, "What?" he asked.

"I don't have any clothes to wear," Natalie said with a sigh, looking at him as if he should know what's wrong.

"Whats wrong with your clothes from last night?" Ronon asked her.

"I can't go down to the mess hall in the same clothes I wore last night." she told him as a matter of a factly. "We're stopping by my room first thing." she said and grudgingly put her clothes from the night before on.

Leaving Ronon's room Natalie immediately made her way towards her room so that she could quickly stop and change out of her dressy clothes; she changed into a pair of faded and worn in pants and one of her New Athos style shirt. Once dressed Natalie and Ronon headed down to the mess hall, surprisingly there weren't that many people in there when they arrived – three or four people at the most.

"You up for sparring later?" Ronon asked once he and Natalie had sat down at one of the tables to eat.

Natalie looked up at him with a serious consideration look on her face, "Well I don't know, the last time we planned on sparring you totally canceled on me and was basically gone the whole day without a word. Feel's like it was just yesterday," she said thoughtfully and then looked up at Ronon. "Wait...it was yesterday."

Ronon rolled his eyes at that, "I thought we were over that Natalie," he said looking at her.

"We are," Natalie said with a smile. "I was just messing with you." she told him.

He gave her a half smile, "So after lunch? Me, you, sparring?" he asked.

"Sure," Natalie said with a grin. "I'd more then love to kick your ass." she told him with a wink.

Ronon gave a deep laugh at that, "You girlie, won't be able to kick my ass." he said to her shaking his head.

Natalie shrugged, "I can try." she told him as she took a bite of her food.

Not too much longer after that more people started to come into the mess hall; people were just getting up for the day, some taking breaks from working on whatever projects that they were assigned to do and some just coming to have some breakfast. Keller and Emilia were some of the few people who were coming in for some breakfast, Emilia at the moment looked like she has barely been awake for five minutes.

Emilia and Keller joined Natalie and Ronon's table and began to do small talk while eating some breakfast, Ronon wasn't saying anything just leaning back in his chair with one of his hands resting on her thigh rubbing up and down sensually.

"So any idea on when Lorne is coming back from Earth?" Natalie asked looking at Emilia. "As much as I love being the leader of the group and whatnot I'd rather not be, because let's face it I hate being the leader and negotiator at the same time as being the defenses. Not exactly the easiest thing to do." she said to them with an annoyed look as she viciously stabbed at some of the food on her plate.

That comment made Emilia laugh, "Haven't got a clue but I do know that we are lucky as hell for getting away without being killed the last time we went on a mission," she stated, but she didn't notice Natalie subtly shaking her head, signaling her to stop talking.

Ronon looked livid about finding out that Natalie was in danger, he turned towards Natalie and looked at her warningly. "What last time?"

Natalie ignored him for a moment and turned towards Emilia and glared, Emilia gave her an apologetic look. Turning back towards Ronon Natalie sighed, "It was nothing big, the last time me, Emi the blabber mouth here and Gibson went off world we may have almost gotten killed just a tad bit." she said and motioned to just how small of a possibility that they almost got killed was.

"You nearly got killed?" Ronon stated, it was obvious from hims posture that he was angry as hell.

"I didn't get killed or anything," Natalie said in defense of herself. "Nothing that Emilia, myself and Gibson couldn't handle." she told him.

Ronon shook his head and breathed in deeply, "You nearly got killed and didn't tell me." he said angrily.

Keller and Emilia both looked at each other and then looked at Ronon and Natalie, neither were willing to interrupt the fight that was going on but nor did they want to leave the table and not see the outcome of the fight. It was like watching a car crash, you just can't look away from it.

Natalie sighed and played with the food that was on her tray, "Yeah Ronon I didn't tell you that I nearly got killed on my last mission, sorry I didn't but for one I didn't want you to overreact like you're doing right now." she told him with a pointed look. "And two, I didn't even get hurt so no harm done. Besides it's not like you tell me every time you get hurt or nearly killed do you Ronon Dex?" she questioned him. "I have to find out what happens on your missions from Teyla, not you but Teyla because you don't think you should tell me if you got hurt or were in danger."

When she said that Ronon huffed in annoyance at her and glared slightly, he knew in the back of his mind that she was right. "I worry about you, I don't want anything to happen to you." he said quickly and glanced over at Keller and Emilia, daring them to say anything about acting so unlike himself.

"I know," Natalie said giving Ronon a gentle smile. "I worry about you too Ronon but you know I can take care of myself, you've seen me fight before." she told him, in response all she got was a grunt from him which made her sigh at him. "Look Ronon, if you want to know more about my missions I'll tell you but you need to do the same you know. You can't just expect me to tell you things when you won't do the same." she said and crossed her arms and looked at him meaningfully.

Ronon stared at her for a few moments before he nodded, "Okay," he stated.

"Awesome," Natalie said and then went back to her food.

A few minutes later John came up to the table that Ronon and the girls were sitting at, "Hey girls," he said with a smile and then turned ot look at Ronon. "We gotta go, have a mission to do." he said to him.

Ronon stood up but didn't follow John who made his way out of the mess hall, instead Ronon stared at Natalie for a few moments before he suddenly left without a word intending on getting ready to go off world.

"Doesn't that bother you at all?" Keller asked staring at Natalie.

"Does what bother me?" Natalie asked looking at her two friends.

Emilia gave Natalie an odd look, "Ronon, not saying good bye or anything at all when he leaves," she said to her.

At that Natalie smiled and shook her head, "Nope, not really. I know what most of his looks mean, so he's talking to me and telling me something without really saying anything." she said to them. "Besides I know he will be fine, he's a fighter." she said confidently.

"Since he's gone now and everything," Emilia said with a smirk and looked at Natalie. "How did last night go? What happened, what did you guys do?" she asked looking at Natalie expectantly. "Come on dish."

Natalie gave her an innocent look, "Nothing happened, what are you talking about." she said to her with a hidden smirk.

"Oh come on," Keller said to her with a look. "Something definitely happened last night, we can tell from the grin that has been on your face for most of breakfast." she said and pinched Natalie's cheek.

That made Natalie give Keller an annoyed look and push her hand away from her face, "So something may have happened between me and Ronon last night." she said to them.

"Soooo," Emilia said leaning forward a bit. "How was the sex?" she asked bluntly.

Keller gave Emilia a look, "Don't you think you should ask that in a less public area?" she asked/stated.

Hearing that Emilia looked at Keller and then at Natalie before nodding her head in agreement, "Right, come on let's go." she said and grabbed Natalie's hand and walked out of the mess hall, leaving their trays where they were at. Keller shook her head at Emilia's excitement and stood up and threw away their trays and then followed the two.

"So?" Emilia said looking at Natalie expectantly, she ended up dragging Natalie and Keller to the reading room where no one really went to very often.

Natalie gave her a look, "So...what?" she asked as she flopped down into one of the chairs, her legs hanging off of one of the arms of the chair.

Emilia sighed, "Come on, tell us how was your night? More importantly how was the sex with your manly beast?" she asked wit ha waggle of her eye brows.

"The dinner was great," Natalie said with a smile. "He made me a true Satedan meal, from what the mainland had at least. Have no idea what it was that he made me but it tasted amazing. I would so eat it again. No questions asked." she said.

"What else?" Keller asked.

"Well," Natalie said. "Once we finished eating he gave me my gifts. He gave me a new jacket since my last one died when we were dealing with Altozia." she said with a cringe on her face at the memory of the man that tortured her. "He also gave me a bracelet that's made out of wraith bone." she said and held up her wrist that had said bracelet on it.

Both Emilia and Keller looked at the bracelet with odd faces, "It's, nice." Keller said not sure how to respond to that, Keller wasn't into having a bracelet made by her significant other out of wraith that he had killed it was just a little too morbid for her.

"What about the sex?" Emilia asked impatiently.

"It was great, perfect, better than any I've ever had before and felt more satisfied then I have by any of my other relationships that had worked up to the physical level." Natalie said and smiled serenely.

Keller looked at Natalie and then at Emilia, "She's a definitely goner."

"Oh yeah," Emilia said dragging the sentence out and nodding in agreement.

"Shut up, when you two get boyfriends you'll be in the same boat as me." Natalie said and then smirked at Emilia. "Though I think Emilia is close to that point right now with a certain Evan Lorne."

Keller laughed at that, "I think this calls for another girls night." she said and looked between Natalie and Emilia.

Natalie nodded in agreement, "Yeah but lets wait until Teyla gets back that way she can get in on the fun." she said to them.

Soon after that Keller was called back to the infirmary, there was a problem going on with one of her patients. Since Natalie and Emilia didn't have any missions to go on in the next couple of days they decided to go and work out in the gym for a while, it's one of the few things that there is to pass the time not to mention the few things that there are to do on Atlantis gets boring after a while.
