I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
Quick Authors Note: I will just try my best to identify the two John's and Teyla's. I will probably use the 'other' to show that I am talking about the John and Teyla that just showed up and the 'real' John and Teyla to show the John and Teyla that have always been around. Sorry about any confusion.
Two whole weeks had passed and in those two weeks John and Teyla hadn't been separated. They spent every minute of every day with each other. Despite the new discovery in the south peer Elizabeth left it unexplored for the time being. She said that their priorities should still be focused on the lower levels of the city where damage may have been caused by the storm. She said that Teyla and John were free to head down to that area of the city if they liked. And that's exactly what they did.
The other Teyla, John, Elizabeth, Rodney, Aiden and Amanda were told that they were more than welcome to stay in Atlantis. Seeing, as they were rather helpful assets. They knew the city well and they strategies the Wraith used.
This was especially true for John. He knew just about every strategy the Wraith used, and also where the Ancients made their mistakes. John was second in command of the Atlantis Militia. He often used to argue with his superior but was told by his superiors that they knew what they were doing, and this war was a lot bigger than any war John had ever fought in.
Rodney had been able to actually work with Ancient scientists and they explained much about the Ancient technology to him. So if the other Rodney wasn't with Elizabeth he was with Rodney. Because the other Rodney and Elizabeth were so close to each other it really made Elizabeth and Rodney reconsider certain aspects of the Atlantis mission. The both knew they had feelings for one another but chose simply not to act on them. But now that the other Elizabeth and Rodney were around they began to spend even more time with each other.
Because the other Aiden and Amanda were around and so close to each other, Aiden decided to ask Amanda out. She gladly accepted and they had been seeing each other for the past ten days. Spending as much time as they could with one another.
The other Teyla and John were also inseparable. The real Teyla and John had officially started to date.
The real Teyla and John were headed through the gate room to get to the jumper bay when John grabbed Teyla's arm and said, "Hold on, wait. Teyla do you remember when we listened to the songs that I had on my computer the other day and there was that one song that you really liked?" She nodded with curiosity all over her face. She was wondering where he was going with this. First, this surprise visit to the Mainland, now this. He got down both of his knees and pulled a small velvet box out of his back pocket. He surprised everyone around when he started to sing as loud as he could. His voice was going all over the place as he sang the song 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing' by Aerosmith.
"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing, Watch you smile while you are sleeping, while you are far away and dreaming, I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,"
"Oh my god." Teyla was laughing and had her hands over her mouth.
John continued, "I could stay lost in this moment forever, Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure, I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep, Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing, Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do," His voice was going all over the place not staying at any type of note for more than a split second, but he still sang.
"I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing. Lying close to you feeling your heart beating, and I wondering what you are dreaming, Wondering if it's me you are seeing, Then I kiss your eyes and thank god we're together, I just want to stay with you in this moment forever, forever and ever," Singing was definitely not one of John's strong points and even John knew it, but he sang on.
"I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep, Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing, Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do, I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing, And I don't want to miss one smile, I don't want to miss one kiss, I just want to be with you right here with you, Just like this, I just want to hold you close, I feel your heart so close to mine, and just stay here in this moment, For all of the rest of time, I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep, Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing, Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do, I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing."
He stopped singing and noticed all the people that were staring at him and turned around and shouted at them. "You can stop staring at me anytime now people." And with that everyone became uncomfortable and either walked away or become very interested in what they were doing. He turned back and faced Teyla and opened the box. "Teyla Emmagan I love you to the end of the universe and beyond." He spread his arms out trying to emphasize just how much like a little kid would often do. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so please, will you give me the honour of becoming my wife?"
She nodded with tears of joys coming down her face. "Yes, yes, yes I will!" He smiled and stood up and placed the ring on her finger and pulled her into a kiss. The ring was a perfect fit.
Meanwhile the other John was walking down a hallway that seemed to go on forever. He was headed to see his Teyla in the infirmary. Since she had been awaken from stasis she didn't feel to well but apparently that was normal, Elizabeth and Amnada had also felt the same. He was so excited; if you didn't count all the time she had been in stasis it was their six-month anniversary.
He had finally arrived at the infirmary and Carson was just leaving but before he did he stopped and said, "Don't worry to much lass, she'll be alright." Carson knew that he was talking to the right John because on his forehead there was a small scar up by his hairline.
John proceeded over to see Teyla. She was awake and looked relatively well but he had to ask anyways. "Hey babe happy six-month anniversary! How you feeling?" He asked as he sat down at the end of her bed next to her.
"I am fine. You remembered?" She said and scooted over on the bed for him to lie next to her.
"Why of course I remembered. Come here." He lay next to her and wrapped his arm around her. "I'm glad your okay. Teyla I love you." John whispered to her as he kissed her forehead.
"I love you too."
After John proposed to Teyla they headed to the jumper bay still because John wanted to take Teyla to the Mainland and show her something.
"John I believe we just passed the place where the Ethosians have settled." She wondered if he even realized it.
"Don't worry Teyla. I know that. I want to show you something. You'll really like it." He just looked at her and grinned. "Here we go." They were in the right location and began to land.
They stepped out of the jumper and Teyla looked at John expectantly. "Well?" She waited.
"Turn around." He pointed to where he wanted her to turn around to and pulled a blindfold out of his back pocket and began to place it on Teyla.
"John what are you doing?" Teyla asked in shock, but did not stop him.
"Well I if I told you what we were doing and just let you waltz up to where were going it wouldn't be much of a surprise now, would it?" John finished tying on the blindfold.
"I suppose so. Now where are we going?" She just stood there waiting for a reply.
"Here, take my hand." She did as he asked. "Now follow me." And with that he led her off to the place he wanted to show her. About five minutes of walking had passed. "It's just up here now." John said enthusiastically.
"Can I take the blindfold off yet?" Teyla asked. She was really starting to wonder where they were going.
"Hold on," He wanted to wait just a minute more. "Okay stop here." He took off the blindfold.
In front of them there was a beautiful waterfall. It was not a strong one, just a small gentle fall. There were rocks all around making it easy to walk up to. "It's beautiful." She whispered.
"Want to go in?" She looked at him. What did he mean? "Follow me." He said and dropped his jacket to the ground. He started to head towards the waterfall on the rocks. Teyla was just watching though. "Oh come on now." He said.
"Alright." She said and took her jacket off as well and followed him. The reached the water fall and John grabbed her hand and they went through it so they were now under the fall. They looked back and Teyla placed her arm under it. Water splashed off her arm and she titled her arm so that it would splash onto John.
"Hey! What was that for?" HE sarcastically said. She just smiled. " Well watch this!" He mischievously grinned at her then put his arms around her and stepped back out from under the waterfall and threw her into a small pool area that was about nine feet deep. She was shocked. "HA!"
He dove in after her. "Didn't think I was just going to let you stay in her all alone and while I sat on the side here, watching you have all the fun now did you?" He grinned at her and she shook her head.
She swam up closer to him. "Of course not." She said then smiled and playfully plunged his head underwater and leaded over him while he was under water.
He didn't expect that one. He broke through the surface of the water and took a deep breath of air. They tossed water at one another for almost an hour when they realized that they should probably be heading back to Atlantis.
When they got back they realized that not much had really happened. They had briefing with Dr. Weir and the other Teyla and John in about an hour so they headed off there separate ways, so that they could go to their own corridors to shower and change. That's definitely something they knew they had to check in to, sharing a corridor. Why not? They were getting married.
