A/N: Don't you just love it when the good guys resort to very dirty tricks to get their way?

Teyla sat alone in her quarters. She was tired of the battle for her and John to be together. She placed a hand on her belly, trying to see if she could feel anything of the child soon to be a part of her. She couldn't feel anything, but she wasn't surprised. It was far too early for anything like that to be happening.

John came bounding into her room, not bothering to knock. She was shocked to see he was grinning from ear to ear. Rodney followed in his wake. Just when she thought no one else could be coming, Cadman skipped into the room.

"Sorry to bother you Teyla." Cadman apologized.

"Yeah, she's sorry." John said rapidly. He sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms. "But I know how we can be together."

Teyla raised a quizzical eyebrow at him. "How is that?"
"We're going to blackmail Caldwell."

"What is 'blackmail'?"

"It's where we threaten to expose Caldwell's own… rather shady dealings… in order to get him to back off about the two of us."

"What is Colonel Caldwell guilty of?"

"He's been giving out some loving to a Novak!" Cadman laughed. "It's rather funny, the thought of those to together."

"And we are going to threaten to make that public knowledge, so that he will leave us alone."

"Exactly." Rodney stated. "Elegant in its simplicity."
"Indeed." Teyla allowed herself a small smile. She found the whole concept amusing.

"So what do you think?" John asked.

"I believe we should do it. I hold no respect for Colonel Caldwell, and what we are going to be doing will be harmless.

John grinned fiercely. "Exactly!" He was about to kiss her when he noticed Cadman and Rodney staring. "Private time!" John motioned for them to go.

"You mean…" Rodney didn't finish his sentence, but got up and left, pulling Cadman in his wake.

Once the door had closed, John pulled Teyla into a passionate kiss. "I love you."

Teyla didn't respond in words but pushed him back onto the bed and crawled on top of him in an almost animalistic act.

John groaned. He loved her. There wasn't much to it but that."
