A/N: I'm really confused as to why everyone seems to like this story so much, considering it's kind of a backburner project… ohhhh well, not that I'm complaining, it's actually kind of flattering.

John continued pacing back and forth. His nervousness was showing easily through his calm exterior. They both knew the reason why. They both knew exactly how it had occurred, and it was their own fault they were in this situation.

He stopped. "We're not going to be able to hide this."

"I am aware of that." Teyla replied.

"I mean, I'm extremely happy… but I'm not sure what we are going to do about it."

"We still have a few weeks before I start to show."

"Athosian women are pregnant for nine months, right?"
"Yes."

"Okay… here's what we're going to do." He took a deep breath. "We're going to have to tell Weir. From there, we'll have to…" He shook his head. "I don't know what we'll do."

Elizabeth was sitting behind her desk, reading reports, when John and Teyla stepped in. She motioned for them both to sit. "John, Teyla, what can I do for you?"

John shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "We've got something we have to tell you."

"I'm not sure I'm going to like what this is going." Elizabeth sounded like she had a good idea of what they were both talking about.

John fidgeted again in his seat. "Ummm, well…"

"I am pregnant." Teyla said for him.

"And I'm going to assume that you're the father John." Elizabeth glared at him.

John turned away from Elizabeth's stare. "That would be a fair assumption."
Elizabeth flexed her hands. "I'm not sure how to deal with this."

"Neither are we." Teyla replied.

"How long have you two been together like this?"

"Longer than you need to know." John replied.

Elizabeth moved to stand near her window overlooking the gate room. "For now, let's just pretend like nothing has happened. Who else knows?"

"Just myself, Teyla, Beckett, and maybe a few of the medical staff."

"Okay. I'll ask Carson to keep this quiet for now. Teyla, you can go. I have to speak to John alone."

Teyla respectfully nodded and stepped outside the office.

"What the hell were you think John?" Elizabeth asked.

John refused to meet her stare. "Honestly, I wasn't thinking. I just love her so much."

"Then maybe you should've loved her enough not to get her pregnant. Whatever happens, Teyla is going to have to pay a hefty price, as will you."

"I'm aware of that, but I'd give anything for her. You know that." John stepped outside the office.

"Damnit John I know." Elizabeth said to herself. "That's what I'm worried about."
