Chapter 13

"What do you want now?" John sighed.

"You'll find out when she arrives."

"Who?"

"You'll see," the redhead turned and left, leaving them in silence.

John turned to face the others. "When who arrives?" he asked, looking between all the children.

"She won't so don't worry," James replied as he closed his eyes, "dad meets her later."

"What's your name?" Carson turned to look at the woman who had been brought back with Keayna.

"Almie," she replied smiling, "and yours?"

"Carson," he replied as he came over and sat next to her.

Helen got off of Keayna and sat in between her parents. After a few moments of listening to them talking John turned to Maigan.

"I need to know what we're up against," he told her quietly.

"A wall," she replied smiling.

"As in to get out of here," he stated as he tried not to smile.

"Oh, that. As far as I can tell there's only one Eldar here, the rest are the run of the mill Steve's."

"Steve's?"

"Hoffans, he died etc etc etc."

"You named them all Steve?"

"Well I couldn't go and name them all, I got the names Murray, Fred, Bob, Freddie, Gemma… and then I got stuck."

"When she grows up," Teyla stated smiling, "you are looking after her, and I'll look after Ava."

"But what if I don't wanna look after Maigan?"

"Then I'll get Rodney to look after her."

"Good point," John replied quickly, "I'll keep her."

"Nice to know I'm loved so much," Maigan muttered.

"We love you really," Ava came over and hugged her sister.

"Yeah," John added as he hugged her as well, "and I don't even know you yet. So, leaving?"

The two of them moved back to give Maigan move room.

"Jump the guards," Maigan replied.

A few minutes later two Wraith came over and the cell door opened. The two of them went over to Teyla and dragged her out. Once they were gone John turned to his daughter.

"I thought we were going to jump the guards," he stated.

"Why, mum's safe."

"The Wraith have just taken Teyla and they're probably going to kill her!" John stated, his voice getting louder.

"Those two were Celeron and Nolan, they're two of the Halves!" Maigan shouted back.

"So why have they taken only her?"

"There's too many of us to move in one go!"

"Nice of you to tell me!"

"I didn't know they were coming to help!"

"I thought you knew what happened!"

"It didn't happen when we were told! Being here has changed things!"

A silence settled over the whole cell. Everyone had turned to look at John and Maigan. Rodney looked down to see Andrew sitting on his burring his face. Rodney put his arms around him as Elizabeth lent her head against his shoulder.

"Maigan, come here," Almie broke the silence.

Maigan tried getting up. As Ava moved to help her Maigan batted away her hand. Maigan slowly walked over and sat next to Almie.

"You need to calm down," Almie told her quietly, "shouting won't accomplish anything."

"It'll make me feel better," Maigan muttered.

"Other than that," Almie smiled slightly.

"She's right," Carson added, "now why don't you apologise?"

Maigan just stared at him with a 'you-must-be-joking' look while the other children tried to stop smiles forming.

"Take it she takes after John in apologising," Elizabeth whispered, causing Rodney to smile.

"Don't ever send them on a negotiation mission together."

"Wasn't planning to."

"This is my motto," Maigan explained, "shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more then once everyone's dead, try to ask some questions. Ava is the people person. She can apologise."

"But she didn't do anything," Rodney spoke up.

"Does the word 'twin' mean anything to you?" Maigan turned to stare at him.

"Leave him alone," Elizabeth said as she raised her head.

"Why?"

"Because I asked you to."

"Don't mummy, she'll just get angry again. She likes daddy really," Andrew put his hand on Elizabeth's shoulder.

"No matter how many times I've heard that now, I'm never going to get used to it," Rodney muttered.

"What?"

"Mummy and daddy," Rodney turned to look at Elizabeth.

"And he still has to be born," John added.

"You're not helping," Rodney told him.

"Can I help?" Lucy asked looking at him.

"Not really."

A few moments later Teyla was dragged back to the cell by two Wraith. They threw her at John and quickly moved and took Maigan back with them.

"I thought the two that took her were good guys," John looked round at everyone as Keayna scrambled over to check the Athosian leader.

"She was shot with their new one guys," Keayna looked around.

"How many do they have now?" James asked.

"Four," Andrew answered, "blue, red, green and purple."

"Purple?"

"Her right palm."

Keayna raised Teyla's hand and looked at the palm; it was faintly coloured purple.

Maigan was breathing heavily, swaying slightly on her feet. After seeing Celeron and Nolan lying dead she grabbed Nolan's knife and attack the other Wraith in the room, leaving only the Eldar. The Eldar said something in her own language before Maigan threw the knife at her, embedding it in the Eldar chest. She turned to be greeted by a red Wraith pulse hitting her.

A Wraith grabbed her arm and started dragging her back to the cell, followed by thirteen other Wraith. Once they'd arrived at the cell the thirteen Wraith went in, standing one in front of each of the prisoners except for Teyla. Helen wriggled closer to Carson as Andrew closed his eyes and buried his face on Rondey's shoulder. Aiden pulled Alex and Lucy closer to him.

"What…" John began.

He didn't finish as soon as he spoke the Wraith raised their weapons in perfect timing together and fired. A Wraith then grabbed the person they shot and dragged them out, away from the cell. The Wraith who had Maigan went in and dragged Teyla a long as well, bringing up the rear of the line.

Sgt. Bates looked at the scene before him. The Wraith had appeared in the gate room and dumped their prisoners before crying out together and leaving. The medical staff who were on standby waited a few moments, looking up at Bates.

"Go help," he ordered, once he'd found his voice.

The medical staff quickly started over and placing them people on gurney's before rushing them back to the infirmary.

A few hours later Sgt. Bates walked into the infirmary and over to the temporary head doctor.

"How are they doing?" he asked.

"Not good," she replied, "see for yourself."

Bates looked over. All the children were transparent.
