'Previously'
"I have a question for you Rach and if you want to wait tell tomorrow to decide that's fine, but I want to ask it now, so if you do you can 'sleep on it.'"
She nodded, "Ok, what is it?" She asked.
"How would you like to meet Lieutenant Ford?" He asked smiling at her and waiting for her reaction.
She looked up at him and set up a little, "You mean go to Atlantis with you?" She asked.
'and now the answer'
He smiled and nodded, "Yes that is what I mean." He said.
She squealed and jumped into his arms and he laughed, "Is that a yes?" He asked.
"Yes," She said and then pulled back, "Every since you told me about it, that time at the mall I have wanted to go and see it my self." She said
"Well your going to get to see it yourself," He told her grinning.
She grinned, "Sweet…so does Danny know about this?" She asked
"No, I decided to wait tell you agreed and then, either I an tell him or you can tell him and I'll be there with you. Whatever we can tell him later," He said and she nodded.
"But didn't you go talk to him about something while I talked to General Johnson?" She asked confused.
"Yea but that was about something else, the present I'm going to give you tomorrow." He told her grinning.
Rachel looked at the clock and then back at him, "John, it's 1 o'clock, it is tomorrow." She said grinning at him sweetly.
"You are observant aren't you," He said, "You'll get it later today when we get some sleep. You've had an exciting day, so have I. Lets get some sleep then I'll give it to you." He told her.
"Your mean but I'm not going to pass up sleep so ok." She said yawning.
He laughed and gently her pushed down on the bed and laid down next to her. She curled up next to him and he wrapped his arms around her. She snuggled into his chest and closed her eyes.
"Night princess, see you in the morning." He said smiling and kissing the top of her head before he closed his eyes also.
Next Morning
The next morning at about 10 o'clock John woke up and looked down at Rachel who had pulled away and was on her other side still fast asleep. He smiled and slowly set up and got out of the bed, he made sure that the blanket still covered her and that she was tucked in still. He then walked around to his dresser and got some jeans and a t-shirt out. He went to the bathroom and changed and then came back to check on her. She was still asleep hadn't moved.
He walked over to her and set down on the bed and kissed her forehead, "I'll be in the kitchen if you wake up." He whispered and then got back up and walked into the kitchen to start making them some breakfast. He smiled and decided he would make them her favorite, scrabbled eggs with bacon.
He set to work, getting the bacon out and starting it to cook on one burner and then getting another pan out and some eggs and putting them to cook on the other. While the eggs where cooking he got out a couple plates and some cheese, she liked cheese on her eggs. He made sure the cheese was cheddar which was her favorite kind and put it down on the plates. He then went and stirred the eggs and flipped the bacon.
A few minutes later the eggs were done and went to work fixing hers, putting them on the plate and putting the cheese on them like she liked it. He then fixed his putting the rest of the eggs on his plate and since he liked cheese on his put some on his as well. By the time he was done with the eggs, the bacon was done so he halved up the bacon so that each had the same amount.
After pouring them each some milk he went and set the plates on the table and the milk next to them. He then walked over to the TV stand where he had put her other present in a drawer and got it out and set it down next to her plate.
He stood back looking at his work and smiled. He then decided it was time to go wake Rachel up and bring her in here.
He walked in to his room and over to the bed and set down next to where she was curled up in a ball. He reached out and touched her face.
"Rachel wake up sweetheart." He said gently.
"No," She wined in her sleep.
"Come on I made your favorite breakfast and have a surprise for you, don't want you food to get cold." He told her softly rubbing her check.
She opened her eyes a little bit and looked at him, "You made me eggs with cheese and bacon?" She asked hopefully.
"Yep, cheddar cheese and bacon well done," He told her smiling at her.
She thought about it for a couple minutes and set up, "Ok pretty hungry anyways. What's the surprise?" She asked.
"You'll just have to wait and find out." He told her helping her out of the bed.
She scowled at him, "Your mean," She said.
He laughed, "If I told you what the surprise was it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. Go in there, its next to your plate, open it. Then I'll tell you what it is," He told her smiling at her.
She sighed, "Ok," She said.
"That's a girl, now come on," He said and led her into the kitchen and over to the table where the food was waiting.
"Why don't you eat first so the food won't get cold, then you can open your present." He said.
"Sounds good to me," She said and set down at her table, John helping her and scooting her chair closer to the table for her. She smiled up at him in thanks and dug in to her eggs and bacon.
John smiled back at her and set down in the chair next to her and followed her lead in starting to eat. A few minutes later they were both done and she was staring at the little package wondering what it was. He smiled and stood up, he picked up his plate and then hers and took them to the kitchen. He came back a few seconds later and found her taking a sip of her milk still staring at the present. He laughed and walked over there to her and set back down. He reached over and took the milk cup away from her and replaced it with the present.
"You can open it now Rachel," He said smiling at her.
She smiled at him and took the paper of the present and saw that it was a little jewelry box. She looked at him and smiled, then opened it up to see a silver ring with writing on it that said 'Atlantis Princess,' that was in red letters. She looked at him and smiled, "Is this…what…I…" She said.
He smiled, "It's not an engagement ring, it's a promise ring…well I'm using it as a promise ring. I found it one day when I was exploring around the land. I asked around and no one objected to me using it, so if you accept it's a promise ring to you. A promise that I won't leave you and one day when we're ready I'll ask you to marry me." He said.
She smiled and looked at the ring, "It's beautiful."
He smiled and reached out and took the box and picked the ring out of it, he then reached out and took her left hand and put it on her.
"Yea it is, and so are you," He said smiling, "Its for my princess, promise not to take it off unless your at the sgc or on a mission?" He asked her.
She smiled at him, "Yea I promise."
He smiled, "Good," He said and then pulled her out of her chair and into his lap so he could hug her.
A few minutes later Rachel thought of something, "John?"
"What sweetie?" he asked.
"When am I going to Atlantis?" She asked.
He sighed, "Well I only came back to give you the ring and ask you if you'd like to go. It'll have to be the next time I come back cause I'm about to go on a dangerous mission."
"Oh," She said, "how long?"
"How long will the mission be?" He asked.
"Yea," She said.
"At least three weeks, at most a six." He told her knowing this was breaking her heart.
"That long?" She asked.
"Yea, Hammond told me that your scheduled to go on a couple missions, so you won't be bored." He told her.
"Yea, that's good." She said.
"Rachel, are you ok?" He asked
"Yea," She said.
"Look at me," He told her gently.
She looked up at him with tears in her eyes that weren't falling and he felt horrible, "Hey don't cry baby, your going to get to come and stay for a long time. But it's going to have to be after this mission. I know you want to go now, but this mission is to dangerous. I want you to have some time at Atlantis and know what's going on before I taking on a mission like this, if I ever take you on one like this." He told her rubbing her face.
She nodded, "Ok," She said.
"You ok now, no more crying?" He asked
"I wasn't crying," She said sarcastically.
"Ok good your going to be ok." He said laughing.
She laughed, "So what now?"
"Well Danny told me that you wanted an apartment of your own, and he said that he knew that there is an apartment opened in his building, and there a couple opened in this one. I thought we would get dressed and look to see if you like any of them. Then when you find one, well go shopping for you some furniture." He told her and she smiled.
"I can't afford a apartment and furniture," She said.
"You pay for the apartment, I'll get you your furniture." He told her.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yep," He told her kissing her check.
She smiled broadly at him and laid her head back on his shoulder, "Ok," She said.
"Good, you want to look at the ones her or the ones in Daniels?" He asked.
"Here first," She said.
"Ok, then why don't we go get dressed and head out," He said.
"Ok," She said but stayed were she was.
He laughed, "Rachel, your going to have to get up so that we can get started."
"I know," She said and then stood up. She walked into his room and opened the drawer that she knew had some of her clothes in it.
She pulled out her black with orange long sleeve shirt, and a pair of blue jeans. She went into the bathroom and changed, came back and found her snickers and put them on. A few minutes later she was completely ready and waiting for John, who came out a couple minutes later. She stood up and walked towards him and smiled, he was wearing the same shirt as she was, they had gotten them at the same time, and a pair of jeans.
"Your wearing he same shirt," She said as she got to him.
"Well I saw what you got out or your drawer and decided to get mine out," He said, "You sure are cute in that shirt."
She grinned at him and hugged him and he kissed her on the top of her head. He then pulled her back and gave her a kiss that quickly got more passionate.
When they pulled back for a lack of oxygen he smiled down at her, "Ready to go find you a apartment?"
"Yes," She said.
"Good then let's go," He said.
She nodded and he guided her out of the apartment grabbing his keys before they went out the door and closing it behind him. He then locked the door and continued to led her.
