A/N: Sorry it took so long to update this, but I just got my internet service back on. I hope you guys like these last few chapters. I liked writing this story and loved the feedback. I am planning on writing another SGA story, but after I finish up some of my other stories I have here that I haven't written on in a LONG time. Anyhow enjoy these last two chapters.

Chapter Seven

"Sir we don't have enough diving supplies what little we have is what Dr. McKay copied from Sabrina's tank she has." Ford said as he and the major stood at the water's edge.

"Then I'll go alone if I'm not back in an hour you send someone else." he said as he turned to go into the water he saw a hug black shiny stick floating toward the edge of Atlantis." what the hell is that?"

"I'm not sure sir, but we've been seeing them a lot." Ford said as he looked the stick creature.

"Maj. Sheppard Dr. Weir and Gen. O'Neill need to speak with you." Daniel said as he got their attention

"It'll have to wait." he said as he prepared to dive into the water to save Sabrina.

"No, it can't it's important." he insisted as he paused to wait for John's response. When he looked like he was going to disobey and go ahead he went on." If you want to save Sabrina's life then you come in here and listen."

"Fine, I'm coming." he said as he stormed inside

"Maj. Sheppard you nor anyone else can go under the sea." Weir said before John could say a word

"Why the hell not? Sabrina is injured and could very well die down there." he snapped out as he thought about Sabrina and all she has been through. If she makes it back alive I swear I'll tell her everything I need to tell her even I love you. He vowed only to his self.

"Because the creatures that have been swimming around Atlantis are dangerous." Weir said in a serious tone

"Dangerous how?" Sheppard asked thinking of Sabrina's well being as well as that of his men.

"They are letting out toxic energy if we got into the water now we'll die before we make it an inch below the water's surface." Daniel informed them as he too thought of Sabrina and wonder if she was still alive.

"But Sabrina's in that water." he said suddenly stricken with the thought of losing her.

"I'm just as worried, but chances are Seathios has her and he'll protect her." Jack said more so to himself than to John. How many times do I have to lose her before I really get a chance to know her?

"So, we're just suppose to sit here and hope that this merman doesn't kill her." John bit out.

"Maj. Sheppard I trust that Seathios will not hurt her. From what she said of him he protected her against those that would hurt her." Weird said hoping to ease his worry.

"I know she's told me the same. I just don't feel comfortable with her down there and not knowing how she is." he said as he walked out of the room

"He's taking this hard." Teyla said to no one in particular then she walked out to find John.

He was standing on the balcony that Sabrina had fallen from. The look on his face was so sad that Teyla's throat got choked up with emotion

"Teyla I don't need anyone to hold my hand." he said not looking at her.

"Then I wont hold your hand I'll just sit here and wait for you to talk." she said calmly

"You know this may sound nuts, but I love her." he said after about five minutes of silence

"If you did not love her this wouldn't be so hard for you." Teyla said softly

"I can see a future with her. When she lost our baby it killed me not to be there for her but she wouldn't let me near her for so long." his voice held a deep sadness in it.

"She's a strong woman she'll be okay." Teyla said reassuringly

"From your lips to whatever god is here ears." he said as she gave him a look, but he shook his head.

Sabrina woke up from her nap to a woman with black hair that had tiny emeralds through out it. The woman was staring at her with a curiosity that reminded her of a child. She slowly sat up and the woman carefully back away a little.

"Don't be frightened I won't hurt you." Sabrina said softly" My name's Sabrina. What's yours?"

"Dimanisa. You have a mark on your neck does that mean you are very important where you come from?" she asked pointing to the mark on Sabrina's neck.

"Oh, um, that..." Sabrina started to blush a little as she realized that the woman was referring to the mark from John." It's a mark that the man I love left on me." She didn't know how to explain it to her so just said" I'm important to him."

"Oh, what is it like up there on the surface?" she asked as she moved to sit down with Sabrina

"It's nice, but to be honest here is so much more beautiful. you don't have to face the wraith everyday." she said

"We do face the wraith they are the black serpents that come out at night. They are not like your wraith on the surface because they feed off of our life. Humans would hunt us for sport because they fear what we are. They hunt us for food." she said softly

"I did not know there was more than one kind of wraith. I have a lot to learn about this place." she said as she placed a hand on her head.

"You are in love with a man on the surface?" she asked curiously as she grew more comfortable with Sabrina.

"Yes, I am very much." she said with honesty

"What's it like?" she asked an excited look in her eyes.

"Dimanisa have you never been in love?" she asked curiously

"It is not permitted for me to fall in love." she said with sadness

"Why not everyone deserves to fall in love."she said softly Feeling sorry for her to never be able to really love someone of her own free will. It was a truly sad thing.

"Because I have not yet come of age to fall in love and when I do my love is all ready picked out for me." she said honestly

"How can someone else pick out your love. Your heart picks who you love not other people." she said confused

"My father has picked my husband I will marry him when I have come of age. Is that not what you do on the surface?" she asked curious

"Me personally I don't let someone else chose who I am to love. I follow my heart." she said as she placed her hand over her heart

"Do your people not banish you for that?" she asked her brows forming a soft crease

"No, because we have free will to do as we please with in reason." she confessed as she looked at the young woman who was probably around her age if not younger.

"I want to live on the surface with you so that I can chose my husband as well." she said softly as she reached out and grabbed Sabrina's hand.

"Dimanisa I'm afraid that you wouldn't survive on the surface just like I couldn't survive here for long without needing to go to the surface." she said regrettably

"Then I shall tell my father I want to chose my husband like you have." she said as she got up and left a shocked Sabrina alone. Oh man what have I done? she asked her self once she was alone. All she wanted was to be in John's arms again. She'd give just about anything to be with him.
