Teyla was laying on Ronon's chest, feeling his breath enter and leave his body. It was the rhythm of his breath that calmed her nerves, but it wasn't enough to make her fall asleep. His large arms were still wrapped around her, keeping her warm. It had been an hour since he feel asleep, but she had no luck drifting off like he had. However, the hour she spent awake let her do some thinking. She concluded that Ronon would always be there for her, but she wasn't sure how long she could be there for him. Being a leader after all, she had a duty to her people. She couldn't just abandon them and leave with Ronon - it was the same struggle she had been having for months, it was just for these brief couple of hours she pushed it in the back of her head.

Turning her head and looking up at his sleeping face made a small smile formed on her lips. He almost looked harmless when he was asleep. Now, even a bigger smile crept on her face as she imagined herself telling him he looked harmless. He would probably start freaking out; heck he probably wouldn't leave the training room for a week.

She gently removed his arms from around her waist and tried to get up. Being careful not to wake him, she placed her hands on a rock on her right and pushed herself up. Ronon grabbed her free hand making her jump in surprise. She turned around to look at him; he was half awake, half asleep with pure bedroom eyes.

"Ronon, I'm sorry..." she began out of guilt for waking him, but he interrupted her mid sentence.

"Don't leave me," he said quietly, almost too quietly. If Teyla didn't have the gift of reading his face she wouldn't have heard what he said. He lightly pulled her hand towards him, and her body followed. She sat down beside him and kissed him once again. The same tingly, warm feeling as their first kiss engulfed her.

It was undeniable that they should be together and Ronon felt foolish that he used to say that he would never fall. Teyla was the only one for him and he wouldn't let anyone harm her - even if she was a warrior and could take care of her self. He still had the need to keep her from harm.

Ronon once more wrapped his arms around her, deepening their kiss while caressing her back.

A ll of Teyla's negative thoughts disappeared and she was finally living in the moment. Maybe, she thought, it would all work out. Maybe, she thought, Ronon would come and live with her people when the time came.

Ronon felt one single tear roll down her cheek and meet their warm mouths. The salty taste seeped in between their lips.

He broke the kiss in concern, "What's wrong?"

She turned her head away from him and wiped the tear away, but it still left her cheek wet, "Nothing."

He didn't take his piercing eyes off of her. He had the same gentle, lost look he had the first time they met and talked alone in the cave.

She couldn't lie to him, "I've been thinking," she peeked up at his face, "Maybe this thing between us won't work." He was perplexed by the sudden change in her but wasn't going to let this feeling continue.

"Teyla," he gently moved her face towards his, "I'm going to follow you where ever you go." She smiled sweetly as he continued, "You can't get rid of me woman!" They both started laughing and once again she felt reassured everything would be alright.

"Thank you," she said to him, taking his hand in her own.

"Your welcome," he said, "and I'm sorry that I made you come out here when you could be warm in your room."

She smiled at her Runner, "I'd rather be here and please Ronon, you don't have to say sorry to me any longer. Also I've been thinking lets keep this thing between us a secret for a while. I don't know how the rest of the team would react."

He smiled at her, "Yeah that's going to be fun, now I can sneak into your room in the middle of the night." She smiled at him sweetly and he kissed her just as sweetly.

Breaking the kiss he was dying to ask, "So is it everything you dreamed off?" Now, Teyla was the one perplexed, "Excuse me?"

"I mean kissing me," he said semi joking, "I couldn't have imagined it better."

She flashed her white teeth once more, "Well... to tell you the truth, I never imagined kissing you." He was still smiling and trying to flirt with his eyes, as she took a deep breath, "I always imagined kissing Dr.McKay."

Ronon couldn't help but smile, "What!"

Teyla laughed loudly as Ronon hands began to tickle every single place possible looking for her secret spot.

"I can't believe you!" Ronon said between grunts and struggles of trying to get to her stomach. Teyla was trying to fight his hands off but he found her spot, right on the sides of her stomach.

"Ronon!" Teyla laughed hysterically, pleading with him to stop, but he didn't.

"Nope," he said seriously, speeding up the tickle torture, "Not until you say that you love me." Tears began to form at the corner of Teyla's eyes from the sheer amount of laughter.

"No" she blurted out but he kept repeating for her to say it.

"Okay ... okay!" she said out of breath, "I'll say it." Ronon's hands slid away from her smooth stomach.

"I..." she began hesitantly, enjoying the tortured look on his face, "I love..."

He stared at her, patiently waiting for the nerve-wreaking feeling to subside, "Love Rodney!" Teyla started to laugh hysterically again but this time her voice echoed throughout the forest. Ronon surprisingly didn't say anything back or try to tickle her again, he just stared mesmerized by her happiness.

He never thought that she could be so playful; often she was quiet and always kept to herself. However, when he pulled a smile out of her she warmed his heart. She didn't know it, but right at this moment he felt complete. Her happiness made him whole and he knew that he never wanted to lose this affect on her. Even, if in the end, she doesn't want him he would make sure that every once in a while he could make her laugh.

Teyla's laugh slowly begun to die down but Ronon's smile didn't subside.

She looked at him with a genuine smile on the break of laughter, "What?"

He just shook his head and looked down to take a hold of her hands. His smile widened and Teyla couldn't help but flash a shy smile back. They didn't say much for the rest of the night, they really had no need to. Ronon's smile seemed to say it all: he loved her.

-----------------

Sheppard sat in the lunch room eating a runny breakfast and making disgusted faces to go along with it. McKay sat across from him with the same slop on his plate.

"You going to eat that?" the scientist asked while eyeing his friend's plate. John didn't answer he just slid his plate of food over to him. Rodney began to ravage the food while John looked on with disgust.

"How can you eat that Rodney?" Sheppard's eyes widened as Rodney stuffed a spoon full of food into his mouth. Some of his meal dripped from the side of his lips as he looked up at Sheppard with guilt.

"Well," McKay began to explain with a full mouth, "I told you I could eat Frozen Dinners without heating them. What makes you think I can't eat this?"

Sheppard's eyes widened, "Maybe you should see Carson later on today." McKay narrowed his eyebrows at Sheppard's statement but shrugged it off and continued to pile food into his mouth.

-----------------------

Around six in the morning, Sheppard and McKay set out to find Teyla. Weir stood with Sheppard in front of the gate reassuring him, "Don't worry John!"

He sighed, "I just hope I can find her this time before night fall."

"Well, don't blame yourself; after all, you did spend hours looking for her! You had no choice John; it was way too dark to search yesterday." Elizabeth place one hand on her lovers arm and gave him a playful smirk. John was somewhat comforted by her smile, but continued putting too much blame so he couldn't completely erase the guilty feeling.

He flashed her a quick smile, "Your getting to be the best at this whole comfort talk."

Weir smiled proudly and stood up a little bit taller, "Really?"

Johns smile snapped off his face, "No."

"Heeyyyy!" Elizabeth squealed in objection and punched him lightly in the arm.

---------------------------------------

The smell of food seduced Teyla's eyes open. It was early in the morning and the sun was shining perfect morning rays.

"Good Morning," Ronon's deep voice made her smile and open her eyes even wider.

"Good Morning," she answered back dreamily.

She sat up and tried to smooth her hair back in place but didn't really feel the need to make herself look better. She already felt gorgeous and the reason was Ronon. She hadn't woken up this happy in a long time and Ronon thought she was especially glowing this morning.

They ate their breakfast in silence but never stopped giving each other flirtatious looks. It wasn't until they heard distant voices that they spoke.

"Why does that sound so familiar?" Teyla asked redundantly while eyeing Ronon who had the same suspicious look on his face. The voice got closer and closer but it was still too incoherent to understand.

"It must be Colonel Sheppard," Teyla indicated, "We have to reveal ourselves Ronon, he will never find us here."

"Well that was the plan," Ronon said playfully sparking Teyla's responsibility chip.

He sighed, "Alright," he picked up his things and stuffed them in his knapsack. Teyla quickly helped him and before they knew it, they were all set to leave.

--------------------------

John Sheppard and Rodney McKay thought they were searching for the impossible.

"You know I really wanted to sleep in this morning!" Rodney whined, "Do you realize it's Saturday?"

John rolled his eyes, "You know I really didn't want to hear your whining this morning especially since today has been declared A Break from Rodney day!"

"What!" Rodney looked insulated but he still kept his nose high in the air.

"Yeah it's a national holiday! You didn't know!" Sheppard said seriously. Picking on Rodney was actually one of the highlights of his day. That was of course apart from talking to Elizabeth. Rodney rolled his eyes, "That's not possible, the President loves me!" he said in a snobbish tone.

"Wait! You've met the President?" Sheppard stopped in his tracks and turned to his proud friend.

"Well . . ." Rodney began, chin high up, "No . . . but I'm sure he would have loved me if he met me!" Sheppard sighed and mumbled something under his breath in regards to Rodney's "big head".

A ruffle of noise came from a large bush on the left of the duo. Rodney was about to speak but Sheppard put up his hand against it. Sheppard pointed his rifle at the moving bush, ready to fire at anything that looked like a threat. However, to his surprise and delight Teyla stepped through it.

"Colonel!" she smiled and walked up to the two men brushing off her clothing and straightening out her hair.

"Teyla?" Rodney in disbelief, tried to make sure that she wasn't a hallucination.

Teyla smiled, "Yes Rodney."

"Are you kidding me!" Rodney blurted, "We were worried like crazy and you were completely fine the whole time!"

Teyla was about to say something but Ronon pushed out of the same bush as she did, making all three of them look his way.

Ronon looked up at the trio staring at him; Rodney and Sheppard were at this point completely shocked.

"Wow Elizabeth was right!" John was dumbfounded but Ronon, who was carrying a large knapsack, looked rather uncomfortable.

"Ahem," Ronon cleared his throat and in his deep voice said hi to the men. Sheppard shook his head, snapping back into reality, "Wait sooo . . . I'm not the hero this time!" Ronon approached the group and the stood extremely close to Teyla.

John took notice of it, "Oh well, Teyla great detective work, you found our man!" Teyla looked at Ronon perplexed and then looked back at Sheppard, "Detective work Sir?"

"I'll tell you about it later, oooh and sorry about leaving you behind you know I would never do that . . ."

Teyla cut him off, "It is quite alright, if you would have stayed you wouldn't have found me. It was quite dark and I know you must have searched until you dropped from exhaustion."

"Well a phone call would've been nice," he said under his breath.

"Excuse me?" Teyla asked while smiling at him innocently.

"Ooh nothing, let just go home!" Sheppard said whole heartedly, "So Ronon buddy, what the hell happened? You know you scared the shit out of...er..Rodney!"

"Heyyy!" Rodney protested but Ronon placed his hand on his shoulder and smiled.

"Aw thanks McKay, I didn't think you cared," Ronon said followed by slapping Rodney on the back, almost knocking him to the ground.

Sheppard and Teyla laughed as they headed back home but not before Ronon grabbed Teyla's hand gave it a gentle squeeze.
