Chapter Eight
John waited for the bright rays of the sun to shine. He got everything ready, but as him and Ford were going to go in search of Sabrina Seathois's head broke the surface of the water and with him Sabrina. Their eyes locked for what seemed like an eternity before Sabrina swam over to the edge of Atlantis and into John's waiting arms. It felt like home. He was her home. She couldn't imagine a more safer place than where ever he was.
"I am so very glad to see you." he said as he kissed her softly. He felt like a part of him ahd come back to him and now he was whole again. So, this is that unbrakeable type of love they talk about He thought with a soft smile as he inhale the ocean water smell from Sabrina
"I'm glad to see you as well, but you should listen to what he has to say it's important." she said as Seathois stepped up onto the edge of Atlantis. He was human as far as anyone could see. His blonde hair shone brightly in the bright sun light. He wore a pair of sapphire blue pants and no shirt. His chest was broad with muscles. He had incredible abs which a normal man would've been in the gym everyday to have.
"I come on be half of my people we need your help to fight the wraith." he informed them as he noticed the love between Jonh and Sabrina. He is the one that left the mark on her He thought as he saw the mark which was still visable slightly
"The wraith or beneath us?" Weir questioned concerned as she looked into the waters.
"Not, the same as you have fought, but different kinds. They hunt us for our life. We have been able to fight them, but they are beginning to grow more now. Our lives are at stake as well as yours because they will let the others know you are here." he said seriously" All of our lives are in danger."
"Sabrina" Jack said as he held her tightly in his arms" You really have to stop doing that."
"Trust me dad if I could I would." she said softly
Daniel came in and she went to him immediately needing to be held by her best friend.
"God, that's twice I thought I was going to lose you." he whispered against her head. He was relived to have her in his arms again.
John once again felt that ugly jealousy creep up on him again. He knew they were just friends, but he couldn't help feeling jealous at their closeness.
"My people do not trust humans, but I am their leader and they will have no choice except to listen to me." he said sternly
"Let's go into the conference room and discuss this farther." Weir said as they walked inside to the conference room.
"Before anything is said let me point out that they did attack us and nearly kill us all." McKay stated as everyone sat down.
" Let me point out to you that he also gave us power enough to reopen the stargate to earth." Sabrina pointed out.
"Yes, he did, but the fact that he saved your life is the only reason I am going to listen to him." Jack said softly
Sabrina looked over at John who looked over at her and smiled. She walked around and sat next to him.
"It is to my understanding that you have just recently came here." Seathois said
"Yes, only a few months ago." Weir confirmed
"Well, I've been here for a year." Sabrina informed him
"But you have only recently come to Atlantis." Seathois said not really asking nor did he pause for an answer he just went on." We have been fighting the sea wraith for centuries. They are not like the wraiths you fight they only thrive off of the sea life... our life. Each one of my kind are born with a special power. Mine is combined since I inherited my mother and father's powers. I heal as well as give you the power source you need to keep Atlantis running. I give you my word that we won't ever attack your people again if you help us rid our ocean of the wraith." he finished.
"It would mean to my people at risk." Weir said thoughtfully.
"But think of what it would mean if we didn't." Sabrina started" They may thrive off of their life down below, but they know we're here and they could be telling the others exactly were we are. They could come and kill us all. If we help him like he wants us to then we could be saving ourselves and getting what we need." she made sense they all knew that.
"All right we'll help you in anyway we can." Weir said as she looked over at Gen. Oniell." That is if our vistors from earth will stay alittle longer to help us out."
"You have my daughter here of I'm staying." Jack said
"And we're not leaving without him so you're stuck with us all." Carter said as she thought about what this would mean.
"Then it's settled." Weir said as they all discussed the plan to help Seathois and his people.
As they waited for night fall to come. Seathois went down below to tell his people about his plan. Some were not happy, but they were all ready to get rid of the wraith and reluctantly agreed to it. Back on the surface everyone was waiting. John went to find Sabrina needing to express his feelings he found her sitting outside on top of Atlantis.
"Sabrina we need to talk." he said softly as she turned and smiled at him.
"I love you Maj. John Sheppard." she blurted out without hesitation
"I was going to say it first." He said as he kissed her softly
"You still didn't say it." she smiled at him
"I love you Dr. Sabrina O'Neill and I don't want to lose you ever." he said as they kissed deeply.
"This fight could mean losing a lot of people." she said as she turned her back to him to gaze at the setting sun.
"I won't lose you nor will you lose me." he said hugging her from behind.
"We will fight and hopefully have a permeant why back and forth which would mean we could go home if we wanted to." she said " God, I haven't been home in so long." she leaned back into him as Daniel came up to them
"It's time you guys." he said grimly
John and Sabrina said no more they walked down the stairs.
"Okay this is what's going to happen. We're going in to fight no one is going to be left behind for them to feed off of. Seathois and his people are off limits." O'Neill said to all on board his ship.
They hadn't been underwater for no more than ten minutes when they wraith surrounded them. The power blinked off and on and everyone could fell the ship being pulled down toward the bottom. They fired at them killing most that were on the ship, but the few that hung on Seathois took care of them. It seemed like forever and just when they thought it would be over a stray wraith came from no where and grabbed Paloria. Her eyes locked with Seathois's as the wraith attempted to drain her of her life.
It was Sabrina that had stopped it. She managed to get out of the ship she was in and swam up behind the wraith shooting it and freeing Paloria in the process. The wraith floated to the bottom of the ocean floor. Paloria looked over at Sabrina who's face even under the water was pale. She had been injured and she reached for Paloria, but then stopped. Paloria grabbed her and took her to the ship where her people were at.
"Sabrina!" John yelled as he went to her.
"Seathois can save her." Paloria said softly as they went on board the ship.
"Let me see her." Seathois said as he went over to her. He placed his hands over her injury on her chest.
Bright lights formed around them and Seathois saw love She loved Daniel, but she was in love with John Sheppord. He smiled as she opened her eyes. He moved so John could be at her side.
"Did we win?" she asked softly
"This time we did." Seathois said from behind John.
"Yes, we did." he said
"Good." she said softly
After the fight everyone returned to Atlantis Seathois and his people promised to be friendly as long as no one would hunt them. Promises were made on each side and deals were made. SG-1 prepared to go back to earth. Sabrina and her dad were talking about her returning.
"We are still needed here there are more wraiths thriving off of the human life here and I can not go while they are still here." she said softly
"I knew you would say that." he said as he hugged her" You are so much like your mother."
"Tell her I'm okay and that I love her." she said as a few tears went down her cheeks.
"I love you kiddo." he said as he kissed her head
"I love you too dad." she said then walked with him to the gate room
Daniel came up to her and pulled her aside
"You have been the only woman in my life that I have ever really felt so comfortable with if he doesn't treat you right just come home and I'll make sure he pays for hurting you." he vowed as he kissed her cheek
"Thanks Danny." she said feeling like she wanted to cry.
Carter came up to her next, but didn't say anything right away
"Take care of my dad. He really likes you. And I know you like him as more than just a friend. The two of you should be together no what regulation say." she said to a shocked Samantha
"Um, wow." she said as she smiled" I will do my best to take care of him."
Sabrina watched as he father, Daniel, and Samantha walked to the star gate
"Hey, Major take care of my daughter or I'll come back just to kick your ass." Jack said as they went through the star gate
John was standing behind Sabrina with his arms wrapped around her.
"I will always take care of you." he said with his chin on her shoulder.
"You could've went home with everyone else." she said softly
"Not, without." he said as she turned to face him.
"I'm glad you didn't." she said as they shared a kiss.
The gate to earth was opened and accessible on either side, but everyone that was already here stayed because they knew they still had to fight. To protect Atlantis and their own home. For now though they had peace until the sun rose tomorrow no one really worried about anything except sleeping.
