A/N: Hey guys and gals, just so you know, I don't want to make it seem like I hate the Athosians, but I needed a conflict otherwise it's not interesting… right? Here's chapter 15.

"When are our children due?" Teyla asked Carson.

Carson rested his hand on the examination table. "It's hard to say exactly, but I'd guess they should be here in five months or so. You should start showing obvious physical signs of pregnancy very soon, if you haven't already?"

John smiled, briefly squeezing Teyla's arm. "Can we go?"

Carson smiled. "Of course, be sure to call me if you need anything."
"Thank you Doctor Beckett." Teyla said courteously.

John steered her out into the hall, keeping his arm around her. He glanced down at her and remembered everything. Their first kiss had been on a lonely balcony. For some reason, neither of them had been surprised. They'd simply smiled and kissed again. He slowly allowed the memory to envelop him, bring a smile to his face.

"What is your world like Major?" Teyla had asked.

"Honestly, I've never really thought of it like that. Guess I took it for granted." He'd replied, using the voice he only used with her alone. It was his quiet, sincere voice, without any trace of mockery or sarcasm. "It's got huge forests, large cities filled with people, huge mountains, deserts of sand and snow."

"It sounds truly wonderful." Teyla's eyes had been closed, as if she was imagining the world he was describing.

John thought for moment. "I never really thought about it like that, until you asked."

Teyla opened her eyes, gazing intently at him. "Some day I wish to see your world, if you will take me?"

"As soon as I can, I plan to take you to see my world." He flashed her his most boyish grin. "But I can wait."

"Do you not want to return to your world?" She asked, never braking eye contact.

John realized they were standing very close. "I do, but there's something here in Atlantis I'd never leave without."

"What is it?"

John dropped his eyes, avoiding her gaze. "You."

Teyla didn't respond, but rested her hands on his shoulders. Spurred on by some subconscious desire, he slowly wrapped his arms around her, hoping there wasn't some bizarre Athosian custom as to how to do this. He lowered his head and their lips met in their first kiss.

John didn't let the kiss last long. He back away just enough so see her entire face. He smiled. Then she smiled back and they met again, this time drawing it out so they could fully enjoy it.

"John." Teyla said, trying to get his attention.

John shook his head. "Sorry, was just remembering what started this."

"You mean our first kiss?"

John swore he was blushing. "Yeah. It's something I'll never forget."

Teyla nodded. "I will always remember it in my heart."

John guided her into their room. He sat down on the bed next to her, drawing her into his arms again. Then he kissed her. "I love you Teyla." He said.

"And I love you." Teyla replied.

He wasn't going to bring up the topic of the Athosian customs related to twins. He didn't want to ruin this moment. Right now, all they had to worry about was each other and their coming children. John Sheppard couldn't of been happier and he knew that Teyla couldn't be either.
