A/N: Sorry I have not updated in a long time, but real life took over for a while. In between, my boyfriend, my job, and finding out that I'm going to be a mother for the first time my life just got busy. I hope you like this chapter I'll try not to make it to confusing, but it's got a twist in it.

Disclaimer: I still don't own any one or thing in SGA.

Chapter Twelve

Jessica's eyes opened to a dim lite room. Her shoulder felt like it was on fire. For a moment she was confused as to where she was. Then it hit her. She was dreaming about being rescued. None of what she thought was real ever happened. This meant that she and John were still on the wraith ship. Fear crept up her spine as the reality of it set in. She sat up painfully and saw John sitting next to the cot she was laying on. He had a gash on his forehead and he looked like he had been through hell and back. As she adjusted herself John woke up and looked at her. Their eyes met for a brief second. Her heart fluttered a little.

"Easy we almost lost you." he said as he helped her up just to touch her was like coming home all over again.

"I had this dream that we were saved and I found out I was going to be a surrogate mom for Maj. Lorne." she took a sharp in take of breath as pain hit her hard." Then me and Ronon started to get closer to each other and you let them order you into forcing me to go back home because my mom got sick." she finished as she now sat fully up. She hoped they were rescued soon because then she could anaylise her feelings for John.

"Well, obviously none of that has happened." he said as he sat on the cot next to her. He thought she was dead when they brought her in here and now to know that she was alive was like a big wash of relief.

"Damn wraith why can't they just leave us a lone" she said frustrated as she put her head carefully on John's shoulder. It was nice and comforting.

"Because we're food for them." John said off handedly" I didn't know that you were attracted to Ronon" he felt a little jealous, but dismissed it.

"Aww, John are you jealous of him?" she teased trying to forget her pain

"Should I be?" he questioned as she lifted her head

"Not unless you have serious feelings for me." she said wondering if the pull she felt was the same pull that he felt too

"I've always loved you and always will, but we're friends now." he said trying to hide his feelings" If you and Ronon have a chance at something you should go for it." even though it hurt him to say that he knew it was the right thing. She deserved to be happy and if that was with Ronon then he had no choice, but to step down.

"Yeah friends is good."she said as stood up with John's help

"Yeah it is." he agreed reluctantly

"I mean we wouldn't want anything to get in between our working relationship." she said trying to hit a nerve somewhere inside of him that would allow him to say how he really feels.

"Right." he said as he gave her a curious gaze.

A moments of awkward silence lay between them as neither one wanted to keep up the charade, but didn't want to express their feelings before the other did.

"Knife." he heard Jessica's voice say to him

"What?" he asked thrown off guard for a second

"If you give me a knife or something I can get us out of here." she explained

"You've been hanging around Ronon too much." he said as he handed her a knife

"Okay just aim and throw." she threw the knife and hit her target the doors opened freeing her and John.

"Nice work." he said as he got in front of her.

"Thanks." she said as she smiled

As they made their way down the corridor they encounter a few wraith that were easily taken out. John tossed her a gun as he took one for his self. They made their way to the hangers, but encountered more wraith. Jessica ran out of ammo then John ran out, but before they were taken again by the wraith they were beamed off the ship. They were on the deadalus.

"Well, Col. Sheppard you seem to always be in trouble this time you've almost killed an innocent person."Col. Caldwell said sternly

"No, you're not blaming him for this. If he hadn't saved my life by risking his own I would be dead by now." Jessica said as she glared at Col. Caldwell

"Well, you shouldn't have been put in that type of situation to begin with." he stated firmly

Before she could say anything John grab her and they walked to another part of the ship before she went off on Caldwell and made things worse than they needed to be.

"You can't seriously be letting him get away with blaming you for all this." she demanded

"No, I'm not, but don't let him get to you. I'll handle this." he said.

"Okay, fine." she said as she stormed off away from him.

John closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. This woman was more frustrating than any man he's ever trained.
