Chapter 17

Teyla had taken to being a constant vigil for John, Maigan and Ava. She sat with John on one side of her and the twins on the other. Those who had woken were all back on their regular duties around Atlantis, apart from SGA-1. The other children had been given a couple of spare rooms to use, the boys in one and girls in the other.

Lucy walked over towards Teyla, dragging her bear by one arm along the floor. She stood next to Teyla and looked up at her. After a few moments Teyla looked down at the girl. She smiled slightly and picked Lucy up, sitting the little girls on her knee.

"Are you okay?" Lucy broke the silence.

"I am just worried about Major Sheppard."

"Are Ava and Maigan going to wake up soon?" she asked hopefully.

"I do not know."

"You should eat something."

"I do not want to leave them."

"What if I stay?" Lucy looked up, "I could call for help if something happens and then you can eat something then come back here. Or I could bring you something."

"I will find something to eat later."

"That's what John said and then he never did," Lucy crossed her arms.

"Then would you mind bringing me something small?"

"Okay," Lucy smiled before climbing down, "look after Teddy."

Teyla looked down at the bear and a small smiled appeared on her face. She sat the bear on the table next to John's bed before looking back up at him.

"Mum?"

Teyla stood up and took Maigan's hand. "It is alright," she told the girl, "the others have all woken."

"Everyone?" Maigan whispered.

"Not everyone, John and Ava have still to wake."

"Where…"

"Ava is on your left. We were given back."

"It worked then," Maigan muttered to herself, smiling slightly.

"Have they woken yet?" Carson asked as he came over.

"Hi Carson," Maigan spoke quietly.

"Maigan has," Teyla told him, "Major Sheppard and Ava have not."

"According to Dr. Ferris, Maigan waking is a good sign. Have you eaten yet?"

"Here you go!" Lucy declared, as she seemed to suddenly appear next to Carson, holding a small bowl of jelly and a spoon.

"Thank you," Teyla took the offered items and sat down again, beginning to eat.

"Do I have to stay here?" Maigan asked, starting to feel back to normal.

"You're awake!" Lucy declared happily.

"Yeah, I'm awake," she smiled at the younger girl.

"I suppose you could leave, though don't do too much for now," Carson agreed as he disconnected the heart monitor from her.

"Thanks," she muttered as she carefully got up.

Lucy grabbed her hand and started leading her out of the infirmary to the rooms they'd been given to use.

"Maigan," James stated as she came in with Lucy, "is… is Ava…"

"Not yet," Maigan answered quietly, "neither has dad."

James and Keayna were both sitting in the girl's room. Lucy led Maigan over to a chair next to Keayna.

"About the rats," Maigan turned tot he other girl, "I have a feeling Ava's gonna wake soon, then dad should as well so…"

"I'll go talk to Rodney while you get dressed," Keayna stated before getting up and leaving the room.

"You think she's gonna wake soon?" James repeated.

Maigan nodded slowly. "Well, we are twins."

James got up and quickly left the room with Lucy close behind.

"Why are you doing this?"

"It's just that what with everything that's happened, I figured people would need cheering up and having a wedding is the perfect excuse to throw a party to make everyone happy," Maigan explained to the Athosians.

"Why are you asking us?"

"Ava and I will be Teyla's daughters."

"Will be?" Hailing broke the silence.

"We've travelled back in time somehow, and before we go back to our time it seemed like a nice idea for Ava and James to get married here."

"Maigan," Keayna called as she came over, "Ava and John have just woken up. Apparently John's first words were 'can we have that party now?'."

"We can have it ready for tomorrow," Hailing told her.

"Thank you," Maigan bowed her head slightly before leaving with Keayna.

"It all set?"

"They can have it ready for tomorrow."

"Where the hell have you been?" Ava demanded as the two girls walked into the infirmary.

"I like you too," Maigan walked over to her sister and hugged her.

"Can we have that party yet or not?" John broke the silence that had descended.

"Think you can survive until tomorrow?" Maigan broke the hug and turned to him.

"Definitely," he thought for a moment, "where will the party be?"

"On the mainland," Maigan smiled slightly, "remember you suggested them getting married here?"

John nodded.

"Well, they will be."

"You mean…" Ava faltered.

"I changed the future Ava," Maigan said as she revealed her right shoulder, there was no mark there at all, "we'll all be different now."

Ava closed her eyes as she felt the tears form. Maigan smiled as her own tears formed and she once again hugged her sister.

"Did I miss something?" Aiden motioned to the two girls as he came in.

"Maigan has altered their future, Ava is happy about it," Teyla explained.

"We get to have a party," John randomly stated.

"Why?" Aiden visibly perked up at the mention of the word 'party'.

"James and Ava are gonna get hitched tomorrow before they go back," John turned to James, "do we have to do anything?"

"Maigan will explain it all tomorrow."

"But…"

"Athosian weddings take place in the evening," Teyla explained, "it is easier to see any shooting stars at that time."

"Stars?"

"They are a sign of a long and happy marriage."

"All you have to do is sit in the family places," Maigan was now sitting next to her sister, "nothing to strenuous for your intellects to manage."

"Hey," John complained after a few moments, gaining a small laugh from Teyla.

"I am sorry," Teyla smiled.

"What colour are the rats?" Maigan turned to Keayna.

"Sea rats?"

"Oh yeah," Maigan said as if everything now made sense.

"Sea rats, do I even wanna know?" John looked between the two girls.

Right, here's Chapter 17. I will be spending two weeks in Cornwall from Saturday with only my memory stick (think of it as loads of floppy disks mushed together) and my dad's laptop with no access to the internet. There for I will attempt to write the final couple of chapters (including the wedding) and the post them once I'm back. Hope you can all survive two weeks with any more from me. See you soon.
