A/N- Last chapter!

ch. 7 Meant to Be

John walked determinedly into the infirmary. He was alone. Only one or two nurses stood around. He walked over to Terras' bed.

"John? What's going on? Where's everyone else?" She asked. John looked at her sadly.

"Terras, Rodney came up with a plan." Terras sat up.

"Really?" Unknown to Terras but known to John, Amar listened.

"Yeah. But um... we have to uh..." John paused for drama. He was a very good actor and let fake tears well up in his eyes.

"What is it?" Terras was not liking the sound of this.

"In order to get Amar out of you, we have to kill you. Not permanently. Just stop your heart for a minute. Then we would restart it."

"What?" Terras looked at him, terrified. "John, I can't do that. How could you ask that of me?" Amar mentally growled.

'No! They will not remove me! I won't let them!' Terras' eyes widened.

"What's wrong Terras?" John asked. Terras' breath caught in her throat. Unlike the feeling of Amar taking over her, this was a feeling of a heavy burden being lifted. But it shocked her to the point that she couldn't breathe.

A blue mist left Terras' body and traveled the three feet to John's. Even though John understood what was happening, he jerked back a little when the mist came his way. It entered his body and he fell back over the chair, unconscience.

"No! John!" Terras called before she too fell unconscience.

Twenty minutes later

Rodney bolted into the infirmary after he had set up the Wraith dart dematerializer. John stood by Terras' bed looking down at her. He was trying as hard as he could not to think about the plan. If he did, Amar would hear it. Fortunately, she was too weak from jumping bodies to take control of him.

John almost couldn't describe what it felt like. It tired him out. That was for sure. He pretended not to understand why he felt like this or why that blue mist went into him. Amar tried not to make her presence known so as to lead him into a false sense of security. John went over what he was supposed to say in his mind without actually thinking about it.

"Colonel?" Rodney asked, pretending to not know what was going on.

"She's unconscience Rodney. Will it still work?" Rodney looked over Terras.

"I think so. We'll just have to see." Rodney looked over at John's uneasyness. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know. I was sitting here telling Terras what was going to happen and this blue mist left Terras' body and went into mine. Then I blacked out." Rodney looked at him concerned.

"Really? Well I hate to sound rash but we need to worry about Terras first. Then we'll have Carson look you over."

"Yeah okay. Is everything ready?"

"Yeah. I thought Terras would be awake so I told Zelinka to bring it in after Carson did... you know."

"Yeah. Where is Carson?"

"He's on his way. He had to charge the paddles before coming."

"Okay. Good. Well that's not neccessary now."

"Well, if she wakes up..."

"Yeah." Right then, Carson came into thw infirmary with the paddles fully charged.

"Are you ready?" He asked, nervously looking between the two men.

"Yeah." Rodney answered. As they rehearsed, John sank into a chair with his hands clutching his head.

"Colonel? What's wrong?" Carson asked.

"My head. It hurts so much."

"Okay. Get up on the bed." Carson ordered. John obeyed and layed down. Carson put his stethescope in his ears and lifted up John's shirt, pretending to hear his heart. Then quick as lightning, he grabbed the charged paddles and stopped his heart. Rodney signaled out to Zelinka to bring in the dart dematerializer. He was followed by Teyla, Ronon, and Elizabeth.

"He really should be standing in an open space. Could we at least put him on the floor?" Zelinka asked. Rodney and Carson lifted him up and put him in the middle of the floor.

"Stand back." Zelinka ordered. Terras was starting to awake and saw John lying on the floor.

"Oh my God! John! Amar is in him!" Teyla rushed over to comfort her.

"Shh. Terras it's okay. He will be fine." They all watched as John was beamed into the dematerializer. Zelinka reconfigured the computer to rematerialize him. His hand paused over the enter button.

"What are you waiting for?" Terras screamed. Zelinka wasted no more time in rematerializing John. Two figures were beamed out, John and a Wraith. They were both 'dead'. Carson ran over to John's lifeless body and restarted his heart with the paddles. He listened to John's heart with the stethoscope that was still around his neck. There was a beat. A faint one, but at least it was there.

"I think he's going to be okay." Carson announced. The nurses that happened to be in the room at the time,lifted John back onto the bed while Carson restarted Amar's heart.

Six hours later

John woke up in the infirmary the next morning. Terras was sitting up in the bed to his left wearing her normal clothes. Ronon sat on Terras' left, talking to her softly. Teyla slept in a chair next to John's bed.

Terras noticed John was awake and smiled at him. The first true smile she had given in a long time.

"How are you John?" She asked.

"I'm okay. I feel a little relieved though. I mean, when Amar was in my brain, I felt like I had no privacy."

"I know what you mean. Thank you John. For doing that for me. And I hate you say this. But I'm really glad Ronon didn't do it and you did." She smiled sweetly at Ronon who smiled back, understanding what she meant. John, however, didn't.

"Huh?"

"I probably would've given the plan away while trying to kill the Wraith while it was in my mind." Ronon answered for Terras.

"Oh. Yes. I wouldn't've be surprised if you had. That reminds me, where is Amar?"

"She's in the holding cell." Terras said. At the sound of voices, Teyla woke up and rubbed her eyes.

"John, you're awake. How do you feel?"

"I'm okay, you know, considering I just died." Teyla smiled at his joke. John looked over Teyla's head to Terras who was smiling and raising her eybrows as if saying, ask her. Teyla beat him to it.

"John, would you like to get some lunch after Dr. Beckett releases you? He said you should be okay to go by lunch time." John looked at Terras who was prompting him to say yes. Teyla saw John looking and turned around. As Teyla looked, Terras quickly dropped her hands and smiled innocently. Teyla just shook her head and turned back to John. Ronon and Terras snickered behind her back.

"Yeah. That sounds good. I'd love to." They smile at each other. John looked back at Terras who smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. John just rolled his eyes. Terras heard footsteps and quickly pulled the covers up to her chin to hide the fact that she was wearing her regular clothes.

Carson entered the infirmary. "How are you Colonel?" He asked, coming over to check his vitals.

"Just peachy." Carson finished with John and moved on to Terras.

"And what's this? Covers pulled up to your chin? What's going on?" Terras put on all her charms.

"It's really cold in here, Dr. Beckett. Is there anything you can do to make it warmer?" Carson went over to a thermostat and turned it up. It immediately started to get warmer.

"There you go. I'll be back to check on you in an hour." He looked at Terras as he said that and left.

"What was that about?" John asked. Terras just threw off the covers to reveal her shoes that were on her feet. She got out of bed and looked at herself in a compact mirror she had pulled out of her pocket. Seeing that everything was okay, she put it away.

"Well I guess we'll be seeing you in an hour." Terras said and she and Ronon walked out of the infirmary, hand in hand.

"What are we going to do about those two?" Ronon asked as they walked down the hall.

"We're definately going to need to take drastic measures." Terras said in mock seriousness.

"Yes we will." Ronon led her out onto a balcony. Terras let go of his hand and leaned on the rail.

"I love it here. God I wish I could live here. It's so perfect." Ronon joined her at the rail.

"Well why can't you? You and Sheppard are friends so I'm sure he'll talk to Dr. Weir about it."

"Yes but Ronon, I couldn't live here. What would I do? You're on John's team so you have a purpose here. I would feel like I was imposing."

"You could always earn your stay." A voice said behind them. They whipped around to see Elizabeth standing there. "I hear they're looking for a new psychiatrist. Just something you should think about." Terras and Ronon exchanged a horrified glance. "Oh don't worry. I won't tell Carson you left." They let go of a breath they hadn't realized they were holding.

"Thank you Dr. Weir. But are you serious? You would let me live here if I became your psychiatrist?" Elizabeth smiled.

"Absolutely. John tells me you're excelent at understanding peoples feelings." Terras beamed.

"Thank you. Yes of course. I accept." Terras smiled at Ronon.

"Good. Well I'll just leave you to it then." With one last smile, she left the balcony.

"Oh this is wonderful. It's like it was meant to be." Terras wrapped her arms tightly around Ronon's neck.

"You're right. It was meant to be that Sheppard and McKay just happened to go to the planet you were on. Now I'm not one to believe in fate, but that was definately meant to be." Ronon stared down into Terras' eyes. Slowly he leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips. Terras pulled back and smiled.

"Definitely meant to be. I love you." Ronon smiled back.

"I love you too." He replied and kissed her again.
