Title: Family and Home

Notes and summary: see part one
Ronon stood in the cockpit of the jumper staring out at the empty ship bay. The lights continued to flicker and with the ship's fluxuating gravity the few ships that were there were straining in their docking rings. It looked like one of Sheppard's pinball games.
Radek's fingers flew over the co-pilot's console. "I have weakened it a bit. But the dampening field is still operating. You might only have one way communication."
Dex nodded and activated the ear piece. "Sheppard, if you can hear me Zelinka and I are at the jumper. We're going to try to even the odds from this end."
Radek looked down at his hands and took a deep breath. "Let us see what we can do."
B'Rok laughed as he ran a hand across the buttons on his wrist band.
"The Ancients did not fair well, Colonel. Why would we take help from a failed race? A fallen enemy?"
"In case you didn't notice you're not doing so hot yourself."John began as he heard Ronon's statement over the com."You're stranded in space and surrounded. It's time to help your people and leave the ego at the door."
Rodney cringed as he watched B'Rok waiting for the inevitable he knew was coming. Especially with John giving the ultimatum. You never gave the bad guy an ultimatum. Even when you have the upper hand.
Pegasus 101.
B'Rok smiled and reached to take Melanie from his colleague. "We have what we need."
"Oh no."McKay whispered.
Rodney made a move to stop Sheppard. The hall wasn't slanting so much so McKay's footing was a bit more secure.
Unfortunately so was Sheppard's.
McKay knew it would be a typical Sheppard hero move.
Kamikaze style this time.
Anything to save Melanie.
To save his family.
"Sheppard, don't!"Rodney shouted knowing it was some kind of trap.
Before he could move the hall plunged once more into darkness and then shimmered green. Taking advantage of the distraction John raised his right fist and hit B'Rok square in the jaw sending the alien sprawling.
The other K'aare moved to assist their leader but Rodney stepped in and hit the closest solider taking his weapon.
Melanie instantly stopped crying when John scooped her up and held her close.
"Owwww."McKay complained as he shook pain out of his right hand while aiming the gun with the other.
"Watch them."Sheppard ordered. "I'm going to check on Lorne."
"Sheppard."Ronon's deep voice crackled over the com.
John smiled. "Got you loud and clear, Chewie."
"Zelinka was able put a freeze on the weapons and communications. The dampening field has also been disabled."
"Good work, Radek."Sheppard complimented. "If you can reach the Daedalus tell them we're going to need a Med team."
"I will let them know, Colonel."
"Acknowledged."Sheppard replied as he knelt down next to SGA-2.
John leaned over Evan and felt for a pulse. He let out a sigh of relief when he found a strong one.
"Radek, let Daedalus know that SGA-2 appears to be only stunned. Pulse is strong and breathing is normal."
"That is good news,"Zelinka replied. "I will pass it along."
"Yes it is."John commented as he looked at Evan's still form.
Recognizing Evan Melanie reached a tiny hand toward Lorne's tact vest.
John smiled as he caught her hand. "He'll be okay, Princess. Promise."
"Can we go home now?"Rodney asked. "I'm starved not to mention caffeine withdrawal."
John grinned."Yes, McKay we're all going home.".
