For the guest who asked me if I was going to finish this story; I know that it has been a long time since I have updated this story, but my intention is to finish it. I only hope that I can finish it this time, before anymore story ideas pop into my brain.

Chapter 26: A honeymoon to remember.

The next time John awoke he found that he was alone in the bed. He could hear the shower running, so he had a pretty good idea that's where his wife was. He thought about going to join her, but decided against it, because he was quite comfortable where he was.

Looking at his watch he realised that it was 2100 hours and the restaurant downstairs would be closed, so they would have to order room service if they wanted to eat. Closing his eyes again, he thought that it may be a good time to go back to sleep, but that idea was ruined when Teyla came back into the room and started to talk to him.

"Would you like me to order room service honey and then you can stay in bed if you want to? I must admit looking at you naked in a rather large bed is quite pleasing."

"You know what would be even more pleasing Sweetie?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

"What?" She asked him with a twinkle in her eye.

"If you were naked beside me."

"I'm sorry I had to get out of bed, but I was leaking."

He looked at her with confusion, as that was the strangest thing he had ever heard. "Huh..?"

"I have not breast fed all day, so I had to express the milk."

"Oh."

"Now what would you like to eat honey?"

"I would give anything for a steak; do you think they would have anything like that on this planet?"

"I do not know, I will get you a menu and when you know what you want I will order it for you and that way you do not have to get out of bed.

Half an hour later he was still in bed, but now Teyla had joined him again and they were sharing a meal. Looking down at his plate, he saw something that resembled a steak on it and he could only hope that it tasted better than it looked.

After he had finished his meal, he sat in bed cuddling his wife and they talked for about an hour about anything they could think of. It was nice to have no interruptions from children or annoying friends. Eventually they lay back in the bed and cuddled up to each other and fell asleep again.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When Teyla awoke the next morning the sun was streaming through the windows. Looking around the room it took her a minute to realise that she was on her honeymoon. She rolled over and cuddled up to her husband who was still fast asleep beside her hoping for a repeat of what had gone on the afternoon before, when they had first arrived.

They were still naked from the day before, so she decided to just lie against his warm body cuddling him for now, since she was in no hurry to get up. All they had to do today was think about themselves and what they wanted to do; a definite rarity for them.

Laying in silence, she remembered that today was there wedding anniversary and although they had decided not to give each other gifts, they had agreed to a special celebration dinner tonight in one of the resorts finest restaurants.

She couldn't believe that a place like this existed in the Pegasus galaxy; she had heard rumours of this planet when she was a child, but she had dismissed them as she had gotten older. Why would a place like this not have been culled a long time ago, I'll have to ask Grinfo today, maybe they have some ancient technology to protect it.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her husband rolling over to face her, "Good morning Sweetie."

"Good morning honey, how did you sleep last night?"

He smiled at her with his trademark crooked grin, "that has to be the best night's sleep I've had in years."

"I could not agree more," she replied, as she leant over and kissed him intensely.

"Sweetie do you have something in mind this morning?" He asked pulling back from her.

She smiled at him seductively and started running her hands across his chest, "Only if you are interested."

She got her answer when she felt his hands on her breasts and his erection between her legs as he began to kiss her passionately. It wasn't long before she felt his lips on her breasts, so she arched her back and put her hands on the back of his head to hold him there.

"John, please do not stop what you are doing." She purred.

"Mmmm…." He replied as she felt his hands move between her legs.

She almost shot out of bed when he dipped two fingers inside her core and started to rub his thumb over her feminine nub. The feeling was intense, but she didn't stop it. She allowed him to have his fun for a few minutes and then, she tried to roll him over, so she was on top, but he resisted.

She didn't fight him any further, not wanting to put him off. She wondered if this had anything to do with what Hannah had done to him. Maybe he needed to feel in control right now.

She lay there just enjoying the incredible sensations that his lips and fingers were causing, until it eventually became too much for her.

"John, now please?" She practically begged for him to be inside of her.

And she wasn't disappointed when he slid his erection inside of her. She felt him fill her completely as he stayed still initially and then he started to move, slowly at first, but she wanted more, so she wrapped her legs around him hoping that he would go deeper. It wasn't long before she got exactly what she wanted, as he began to drive hard and deep. The deeper he plunged the closer she came to her release and it wasn't long before she went over the edge, the feeling was so intense when she did that she almost screamed. A few thrusts later, she felt him stiffen and his hardened shaft began to pulsate inside of her, as she felt the hot stream of his seed pouring into her.

She held him tight, as their bodies quivered from the aftershocks of what they had just experienced.

"John that was incredible thank you."

"Mmmm…" he mumbled, as he slid out of her and rolled off of her.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry that I insisted on staying on top. I am still dealing with what happened to me, so thank you for being patient with me."

She kissed him on his lips, "I completely understand honey, take your time and I will wait as long as it takes."

"What would you like to do now Sweetie? Would you like to go on a walk along the beach, or go for a swim?"

"I would like to stay in bed with my husband for a bit longer; it is our anniversary and we are on our honeymoon after all."

"Well that's fine by me," He said, as he put his arms around her.

She lay in her husband's arms, wondering how she became so lucky; she was married to an incredible man, who was an incredible father to their children. These were her last thoughts as she fell asleep again.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When John awoke again Teyla had gone and the sun outside the window was high in the sky. He knew that it was probably time to get up and do something outside, or at least he should eat.

"Good afternoon honey." Teyla said as she entered to room in a pair of shorts and a tank top, which didn't leave much to the imagination.

"What shall we do now Sweetie?"

"I would like to go and have some lunch and then I would like to go for a walk on the beach."

"Well let me get dressed and we'll head downstairs. I wouldn't mind chatting to Grinfo at some point to see if he knows why the wraith haven't been here in ten generations."

"I shall go and wait for you in the lounge honey and then we can head down to lunch."

He watched her leave the room, he was the luckiest man in two galaxies to be married to such a beautiful woman and he knew it.

Half an hour later they were sitting in the outdoor café, looking over the menus when Grinfo approached them, "John, Teyla, how have you enjoyed your honeymoon so far?"

John smiled at him, "Grinfo it has been truly amazing so far and as it is our first wedding anniversary today it is definitely going to get better."

"Why are you only just having your honeymoon now?" Grinfo asked with a look that John could only describe as confusion.

Before John had a chance to reply Teyla interrupted, "Grinfo would you like to join us for lunch, or are you working?"

"Is that okay with you John?" Grinfo asked him.

"Yes it is fine by me, please sit down?" He answered with a wave of his hand indicating for Grinfo to sit down.

"I hope you do not find it is rude of me asking the question, as to why you have only just had your honeymoon."

"We have been very busy, so this is the first chance we have had to get away together," Teyla answered politely.

Now was his chance to ask him if he knew anything about the history of this planet and whether he knew why it had not been culled by the wraith.

"Grinfo, do you have any idea why the wraith haven't culled this planet for so long?"

"I have no idea, but for me it is a good place to raise my children. Hopefully one day soon we won't have to worry about the culling's on other worlds though. I hope whatever you are up to on Atlantis, it will lead to a lasting peace."

John looked at him with a look of compassion, he couldn't imagine what he had been through, "that is certainly the plan, but it may take a while and I hope that this is a place you can remain safe until that time."

Grinfo stood up and waved to them as he left. "Thank you, John, I must head back to work now, but enjoy your day and I'm sure that I will see you around the place."

Once Grinfo had left John looked at his wife, she looked absolutely beautiful sitting in the sun. He knew what he wanted to do with her, but he decided that rather than heading back to bed after lunch they should probably go for a swim.

It wasn't long before their meals arrived and they sat and enjoyed each other's company while eating sandwiches with some kind of meat that resembled turkey.

He looked at Teyla and took her hand once they had finished eating, "I think that I might like to go for a swim today Sweetie. Would you like to join me?"

"I am not sure that I can swim John, we never swam for recreation on Athos and I certainly have not started swimming since we have been on Atlantis."

John rolled his eyes at her, "Don't worry I'm sure that you will pick it up in no time. I wonder if they have such a thing as surfboards here, there seem to be some pretty sweet waves out there." He said looking out at the ocean.

Teyla pouted at him, "I hope you do not expect me to go surfing? I have seen you and Ronon doing it and I do not think that I would like it."

"Let's just get going shall we?" He suggested grabbing her hand and heading back to their room. He had every intention of getting into his bathers, but who knew what might happen.

Arriving back in their room he dug through his suitcase to find his swim shorts and went into the bathroom to get changed, leaving Teyla to get changed in the bedroom. He walked out into the lounge area to wait for Teyla and when Teyla finally emerged from the bedroom he was totally blown away by what he saw. She had a peach coloured bikini on, which certainly didn't leave anything to his imagination. He just stood there with his mouth open, not sure whether he was going to be able to keep his hands off of her.

The look that crossed her face was priceless and he could only describe it as one of bewilderment, "John what is wrong, do you not like my swimsuit?"

"No there's nothing wrong, except for the fact that if we don't head to the beach now I might be forced to peal it off of you and we both know what will happen then."

The look of relief on her face was evident, "so maybe we should head to the beach now and then you can help me get it off later?" She suggested with a raised eyebrow.

Before he had a chance to change his mind, he grabbed her hand and a couple of towels and rushed down to the beach.

"Ouch!" Teyla screeched the minute she stepped on the sand, "John my feet are burning."

"Keep running sweetie, the quicker we get in the water the quicker our feet will cool off."

"John, I do not want to. I am happy to sit up here and watch you swim."

"Please sweetie. I don't know if I can swim without you with me?" He said using his best puppy dog eyes.

He stood staring at her, with pleading in his eyes and he was happy when she sighed and gave in, "alright John, I will come in the water with you for a little while and then I will come up and sit on the grass under one of those enormous umbrellas and drink cocktails."

"I think I'll join you, but first we'll swim," He said grabbing her hand and running across the beach.

It wasn't long before he reached the ocean and dipped his toes in the water and it was icy cold, but he tried not to react, because Teyla hadn't put her feet in the water as yet. "Come on Sweetie, it's absolutely beautiful."

He held her hand and watched as she dipped her toe in the water and she squealed again, obviously realising how cold it was. Smiling, he picked her up and carried her further into the water.

"John what are you doing," she asked with fear in her voice?

"I'm just about to help you get in the water."

"No John, please let me get into the water myself?"

The smile on his face grew larger, as he contemplated what he was going to do next. In the end he decided that he wasn't going to dump her in the water, so he just lowered her slowly down into the water, so she was standing on her feet next to him.

"John I am glad that you did not throw me in the water otherwise I would have been very angry with you."

He put on his best puppy dog look and pleading eyes, "really Sweetie, how could you possibly be angry with this face?"

He was shocked when she pushed him over and just before he went under, he saw an evil grin cross her face. The water was cool and refreshing and despite the shock he was happy to be under the water. Holding his breath he decided to stay under the water for as long as possible.

Eventually a sound above the water caught his attention and he thought that it sounded like Teyla calling his name; he stayed under the water for a little longer, until the voice started to panic.

Jumping up out of the water he heard Teyla calling his name and looking for him, "John where are you? Please be okay?"

"Sweetie, I'm alright," he said grabbing her arm.

She looked at him with an intense glare, "please do not ever do that to me again. I was afraid that you were drowning."

"Sweetie, I'm sorry, but I thought you knew that I could hold my breath for a really long time."

"Yes now that you mention it, I seem to remember times when you had to hold your breath, on various space stations, when the air was sucked out of them. Anyone else probably would have suffocated, but not you."

He'd had enough of the conversation, so he decided to change the subject, "Why don't you put your head under the water Sweetie?"

"No John, I am quite happy to just stand and watch you swim in the water for a while longer and then I would like to try one of those fruity cocktail drinks."

"Alright, it's your loss." He told her before diving under the water again.

For the next hour they enjoyed the water, he spent most of his time swimming around under the water and Teyla just moved around slowly getting everything, but her head wet. Eventually they decided to get out and head over to the grassed area and sit by the bar drinking what passed for cocktails on this world.

Finding a large unoccupied beach umbrella he laid his towel out and did the same for Teyla, "What would you like to drink?" He asked her helping her settle down on the towel.

"I think I would like something fruity and refreshing."

"Okay Sweetie, you just lay there and I'll be back in a few minutes."

Fifteen minutes later after much deliberation at the bar, he arrived back at their beach umbrella with two drinks which tasted like a mixture of pineapple, coconut and champagne, with plenty of ice. "I hope you like this, but I thought that it sounded nice." He told her handing her a drink.

"Mmmm…refreshing and fruity just like I asked, thankyou honey. I think I will drink this and curl up for an afternoon nap with my handsome husband." She suggested with a twinkle in her eye.

"You'll get no argument with me Sweetie."

They sat in silence enjoying their cocktails, before they lay down on their towels and cuddled up to each other. John lay awake for a long time just watching Teyla while she slept, since Teyla gazing was one of his favourite activities. It wasn't long before he felt his eyelids drooping and feeling happy and content with the world for the moment, he fell into a deep sleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When Teyla awoke the sun was low on the horizon, she knew that they had a dinner reservation, but it wasn't until later that evening, so she decided to snuggle up to her husband and enjoy the sunset. She looked out at the ocean and saw that the sun was beginning to set, it was really very beautiful. There were fluffy white clouds on the horizon and the sky was a pale pink and became a deep crimson near the horizon, the bright orange ball of fire bobbed on the horizon, before finally disappearing and plunging the world into an eerie grey light which would be replaced by darkness in a short amount of time. Despite the greyness of dusk the world around her was alive with sights and sounds and she was happy to be enjoying the evening with the man she loved.

John stirred beside her and she looked down at him, hoping that he would awaken soon. As much as she was enjoying the time alone, she would much rather John was awake to enjoy it with her.

"What's happening," he asked looking up at her?

"John it is good to see you awake, you have just missed the most beautiful sunset."

John smirked at her, "I've seen lots of sunsets in my life and I'm sure I'll see many more."

She just glared at him, "no matter how many times I see a sunset, it is just as beautiful as the first time I saw one and I will never get tired of looking at them."

"I know what you mean Sweetie and couldn't agree with you more, but right now we need to go and get ready for dinner."

She raised her eyebrow, smirked at him and whispered in his ear, "Are you sure we have to get ready right now?"

She almost laughed as his eyes opened wide, "what did you have in mind Sweetie?"

She leant in and kissed him passionately and she was happy that he kissed back just as passionately. Running her hands through his hair she moved her mouth over to his ear and nibbled on it, making him laugh.

"Maybe we should head back to our room and have a shower. I can help you wash your back if you need me to." He suggested with a twinkle in his eye.

She decided to take matters into her own hand and grabbed his hand and her towel and dragged him back to their room. The minute she was inside she took her bikini off and headed to the shower hoping that John would follow.

She turned the water on and stood under the spray, enjoying the water rushing over her body. It wasn't long before John joined her and started soaping her hair and body, she started to purr when his lips met the ticklish spot on her neck and his hands started massaging her chest. She sighed as one of his hands continued to massage her breast, while the other moved down between her legs, when he dipped his figure into her core she started purring even louder and when he dipped another finger in, she felt a bolt of heat shoot right through her body.

"Please John don't stop," she begged, as he continued to move his fingers in and out of her core. It wasn't long before she felt the first shudders of her release and John started to pick up the pace with his fingers, finally she went over the edge and she felt John rubbing his hands up and down her back in a soothing manner.

Once she had settled down a little, she turned to John and started rubbing her hands up and down his chest, "John I believe you need to be washed."

She soaped her hands and started washing his body, when she reached his manhood he moaned loudly and his hands started to rub her breasts again. "Teyla I have someplace else I'd like to finish this off."

Once they had turned the water off and dried themselves off, John led her into the bedroom and she laid her on her back. He crawled the last few feet to hover over her naked body and the smile which he gave her was the most gorgeous smile.

"What are you thinking John?" Teyla asked, as she saw him smirk.

I'm thinking how incredibly beautiful you are and how I would like to kiss every inch of your body."

Teyla stretched her hands above her head showing John every curve of her body, before she whispered, "I do not have a problem with that at all."

Now there was a groan coming from John's throat and he lowered his head to carry out his suggestion.

He began at her neck and she was whimpering within seconds when he hit the spot on her neck that he knew sent her into shivers. But he didn't linger there long because there was so much of her body cover; he ran his lips up and down her arms and then shifted his gaze and lips to her chest. His lips sent her wild as he continued to work his way up and down her body.

Finally when she couldn't stand it any longer she parted her legs and practically begged him to enter her and it wasn't long before he accepted her invitation and slid his erection inside of her, she gasped at how full he made her feel and she wrapped her legs around him to keep him still. But it wasn't that long before he started to move and when he did he started to thrust fast and deep and it was the most incredible feeling she'd ever experienced. It wasn't long before she felt her release approaching and she matched his rhythm and within seconds she went over the edge, which sent John into a frenzy, he started to thrust harder and deeper until it was clear to her that he had gone over the edge as well.

She lay underneath him breathing hard. Making love with John was always one of the most incredible feelings of her life and she never wanted to be apart, so she was disappointed when he pulled out of her and lay beside her.

"What would you like to do now Sweetie," he asked breathing hard beside her?

"How about we have dinner in our apartment Honey." She suggested, snuggling closer to him.

"I couldn't agree more, Sweetie, but first I would like to take a nap."

"Sure Honey I could not agree more," she said closing her eyes.

She lay still listening to John's breathing evening out and before she knew it her eyes were drooping and she soon fell asleep.

TBC…
