Chapter Ten

A few days later Nebula recovered with strict orders from John, Elizabeth, Caldwell and Cameron to get plenty of rest and eat three times a day. Today she was sitting with Cameron on one of the balconies of Atlantis. She was staring out into the beautiful ocean before them.

"I want you to know that coming here was an enlightening experience for me." she started out

"How so?" he asked curious as to what she would say

"I've realized that as much history as me and John have together..." she paused trying to think of something to explain her next words." I love you Cameron. You are my other half." she finally let it out.

"I love you too." he said as he took her face in his hands and kissed her deeply

"I have missed you so much." she said softly against his lips

"I've missed you to." he said as he pulled her to his body.

"I'm coming home with you." she stated

"I came here to bring you home." he said with a soft laugh

"My old feelings for John started to come back, but seeing you brought me out of my past and back to where I belong." she smiled up at him"Does Sheppard return this?" he asked as he saw John talking with Elizabeth Weir."Never mind I got my answer right there."

"He has a big thing for her, but I think because of this they chose not to express it so openly." She said softly as she snuggled into him

"Yeah, it won't be like that with us." he said

"Good, because I don't think I could do that." she said as she smiled at him again.

"You keep smiling at me like that and I'm going to take you somewhere to show you how much I have missed you." He had this gleam in his eyes like a child on Christmas.

"Hmm, I might like that." she said as she snuggled into his embrace.

He just laughed alittle which she could feel.

Serenity and Ronon had made a pact to always be honest with each other. John and Elizabeth were working things out. None of them knew what happened to the bo and arrow for it disappeared without a trace. Nebula said her goodbyes and left with SG1 as they went back with the Daedalus.

"Are you okay?" John asked Serenity who walked into the Gym with him

"Yeah, I mean I'm going to miss her, but at least she's happy?" she said as Ronon knocked a guy to the ground.

She watched Ronon intensely. Mmm he looks great all sweaty. I'm going to have to help him shower when he's done.

"Serenity did you hear me?" John broke through her thoughts

"Um, no I was distracted." she said as Ronon smiled at her she smiled back

"If you can keep him distracted when I'm sparing with him that would help me out a lot." John whispered to her

"Yeah I could do that." she said" But then Elizabeth wouldn't have to give you a message or anything."

"Right." he laughed and went to spar with Ronon.

Serenity watched her two favorite men throw each other around and smiled to herself. Her sister was gone, but she'd see her next month. The man she once loved was in love with her sister and even though it should be awkward it wasn't. She actually talked to Cameron while he was here.

Flash Back

"Cameron can we talk?" she asked as she approached him in the gym

"Sure." he said as he looked over at her God she was still beautiful" How's Nebula?"

"She's resting." she said softly He's still so good looking" I thought you should know that I'm happy for you and Nebula."

He looked at her for a long time

"It's hard to see the man I once loved with all my heart be with my sister, but I met someone else who takes my breath away." she said softly

"I didn't know how to tell you." he said" We were good together, but we both know that it wouldn't have worked out."

"We're too much a like." she said softly

"Yes, we are." he said as he threw some sticks at her" come on show me what you've learned"

"I don't want to hurt you." she teased

"You mean you don't want to get hurt." he countered

They spared for hours before it ended with him wining.

"You're better than before." he commented

"I've been practicing with John, Teyla, and Ronon knocks me around a lot." she said as they walked out

End Of Flash Back

"Hey you ready?" Ronon asked as he walked up to her

"Sure." she said as she smiled at him" don't ever let things get hum drum between us."

"Never." he said as he kissed her swiftly

"Get a room you two." John jokes as Ronon smirks at him

"Is that an order?" he tosses at him as Serenity wraps her arms around his waist and laughs into his chest

"Do you really need me to give you an order in this?" John raises a brow.

"Um, no, he doesn't" Serenity said as she giggled

Ronon takes her hand and the two walk out.

"He likes you." Ronon said plainly

"Of course he does. I like him too." she said as they walked out on to a balcony that over looked the ocean. It was secluded and no one would interrupt them.

Ronon says nothing as he kisses her passionately. She returns his kiss as the warm sea breeze caresses her skin. This was her home. Her safety was in his arms. Whatever tomorrow held would still be there tomorrow.
