Pictures
"Okay hold on." Teyla said as she turned around. "Use your arms to help yourself and I am going to push you back through and we will continue another way. I saw a larger spaced tunnel not long ago."
"Okay." It did not take much effort and John began to lead. They reached a corner and turned because they noticed that there was a slight wisp of fresh air coming from that direction. They got the vent opening and John turned himself around so that his feet were at the vent, and proceeded to kick it open. "At last! Fresh air!" He took in a deep breath before completely hopping out and turning back to help Teyla out.
They were on one of the many balconies in Atlantis. "Where are we?" Teyla asked as she enjoyed the view of the ocean and the fresh air that she had been longing for, for quite some time.
"Well I'm not to sure but all I know is that I'm pretty tired and I just want to stay out here for a bit." John spotted two chairs in the corner of the balcony and pulled them both out into the center so that he and Teyla could sit for a while.
After they had sat for a few minutes they had both thought it would be wise to make contact with Dr. Weir seeing as it had been over 10 hours since they had been out of contact. They proceeded to enter the doors that led to a room from the balcony.
They moved towards the doors and unlike the other doors in Atlantis, this one was not an automatic one so Teyla proceeded to open it. Surprisingly the doors were unlocked and when they had entered into a room that had to of been, the largest and the most beautiful personal corridors in Atlantis.
This room was unlike the other rooms in Atlantis. The other rooms were so dull and seemed really small, because of the dark shades that were so often used. In this room all of the walls were pure white, with dark oak hardwood flooring and a dark oak wood trim all around. The room was very well lit because above them, there were three skylights that let the sun shine in all the day or let the moon glisten in at night.
The ceiling was unusually high but there was a small spiral staircase to the left of the door they had just walked in. The staircase led up to what appeared to be a closet that was a balcony style, and it looked down on the rest of the bedroom. There was an enormously large bed that's frame and headboard was a dark wooden oak and it was covered in pure white bedspreads and pillows.
Teyla had noticed that there were pictures on a small stand beside the bed. She walked over and picked-up the frame that was holding the picture and was absolutely astonished to see what or even who was in the picture.
John noticed the look on Teyla's face and asked, "Hey Teyla, you okay there?" She just stared at the picture and decided to walk over to see what she was looking at. "Was that in here?" John asked starting to become freaked out about the whole ordeal.
Inside the frame was a picture of himself and Teyla. He had his arm around her shoulder and she had her head rested on the side of his shoulder and her arm on it as well. He was wearing dark navy blue t-shirt with yellow writing on it and she was wearing a white t-shirt with some red letters on it as well. The one detail in the picture that probably shocked both of them the most was the diamond ring Teyla was wearing on her finger, and the silver band that was on John's finger.
Teyla put the picture down and picked another up. Once again it was a picture of, she and John, only this time they were sitting down outside on the grass. John was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans and had his arms around Teyla from behind and Teyla was leaning back on him. She was wearing a pair of jeans and white t-shirt though. Once again they both had the rings on. The background was just trees and they both seemed happy. "Major I have no memory of these pictures or any of the others." Teyla sounded both worried and confused.
"Well don't feel bad 'cause neither do I." John stated as he looked around at some of the other pictures that may give them some sort of clue as to what was going on. "Follow me," he said as he headed towards the staircase.
Teyla followed him and asked, "John what are we doing?" He didn't even answer because they had reached the top of the staircase. "I have not seen these before." Teyla stated as she looked around the small but well lit area that was filled with clothes and had a large mirror as well.
"Well neither have I and I would really like to know why it would just so happen that all of these clothes look rather 'earthly' and they just so happen to look as though they are all in our sizes." He held up a shirt to himself.
Teyla looked. "You are right." She picked up a shirt that was ladies style, and did the same as John. "We should contact Dr. Weir and the others, perhaps they could be of assistance." Teyla said as she headed down the staircase.
John followed agreeing with what Teyla had just said. They had got to the door when Teyla was just about to open it; she noticed four other pictures that were framed along the wall. They were all pictures of three different weddings.
One was of Elizabeth and Rodney's; they were dancing together in it holding each other happily. They both had huge smiles on their faces and were looking at one another.
Another picture was of Aiden with a young woman that Teyla had seen in the infirmary before; they were at a rather large white cake and each had one of their hands on a knife that was cutting it.
The third picture brought the most shock to both of them. It was a picture of her and John. John had his arms around her waist and they were both smiling and filled with joy, both leaning slightly forward.
Teyla turned around and looked at him. He tore his eyes away from the picture that had caught his attention. "Teyla…" She cut of his words, when she stepped forwards and kissed him.
