The room was quiet, a confused silence swept through out the entire gate room. Teyla took a step small forward, disbelieve in her tanned fetchers.
"Is it really you?" She asked her voice soft as a quite whisper. He smiled and nodded his head up and down, not taking his dark brown eyes off of the Athosian in front of him. Teyla let out a little cry that resembled a whimper and pulled him in to a tight embrace. Burring her face in the mans naked chest. He in turn hugged her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head. The two heard someone clear their throat and both looked up, evidently annoyed at the interruption.
"Teyla, what did I tell you about inviting strange men home?" John joked with a sideways smirk. He looked at Kanan then looked back at Teyla.
"I am Kanan" he said. The first words he had spoken since coming through the gate. "I am a friend of Teyla's," his voice was dry but powerful and somewhat cold. "I am Athosian," At the mention of her people Teyla's eyes dropped to the floor, her jaw clenched tightly. She looked up at Kanan once more, who looked down at her.
"About our people… Are they…?" unsurprisingly she could not bring her self to finish her sentence. Everything went quiet, an awkward silence. Kanan opened his mouth to answer but stopped when he saw Keller take a step forward.
"As much as we would all want to know where and how they are, you are going to the infirmary; you look a little worse for wear." She said. Teyla looked up at him and blinked twice, finely realizing his state. His face and torso were covered in cuts and bruises, a large gash ran from his chest to his waist. He looked down himself, shaking his head in a censorious gesture.
"It is just a few scratches," he said. Keller raised a stern eyebrow, something that she had gotten off of Teyla. Teyla put a light hand on his shoulder. He looked at her, eyes deep and searching hers, then nodded. "Very well. I will go to the infirmary," he said sadly. Keller nodded and indicated the way to the infirmary.
"This way," Kanan followed, taking Teyla's hand in his and dragging her off with him. The team followed.

Kanan sat upright in bed, eying the strange solid blue liquid in front of him. Doctor McKay had called it jelly but had not said anything as to what to do with it. It smelt strange, a fruity smell but he could not bring himself to eat it. He looked up and smiled as Teyla came through the door. She herself had a smile on her face, one that reached her ears. ,

"I see doctor Keller finely got you in to bed," She said as she approached. He nodded. Teyla now stood in front of him and ran a hand down the side of his face, smiling sadly and inspecting the large cut that travailed down his cheek. He lifted his arm, covering her hand with his own. They were rough and somewhat cold, but gentle. Kanan studied her.
"You wish to ask me something?" He said. Teyla nodded.

"What happened to you?" she asked her voice barely a whisper. Kanan frowned and blinked twice, as if trying to remember what had brought the Athosians to be missing.
"I don't remember much, it happened so fast. We were attacked, by large ships of some sort; the village was being destroyed rapidly. The next think I knew, I was in some sort of dark room." Teyla listened carefully.
"And the others?" she raised; hope sinking in to her voice.

"I was alone," the Athosian leaders shoulders dropped, along with her smile and bright look in her eyes. Kanan lifted his hand and cupped her cheek.
"We will find them Teyla and right after I am out of this infirmary I will be right beside you, looking for them." Teyla smiled once again, felling a warm feeling in her heart.

"You get some rest, when you're out of here. I have something to tell you," and with that she kissed his forehead and left. Kanan watched her go then rested his head on his pillow. Sleep consumed him.

John Sheppard traipsed through the corridors, his chest felt tight and his heart felt heavy. The day seemed to have been dragging on, like time had just stopped. He was angry but most of all he was hurt. After Kanan had arrived and after seeing Teyla's attitude towards him, it had come in to light that he actually cared for Teyla more then he should. He turned a corner, coming to a stop in front of large glass doors. He stared out of the spotless windows at the occupant of the balcony. He took a deep breath then stepped outside, sliding the glass door shut behind him.
Kanan turned slowly, a smile on his face.
"Ah Colonel, I wanted to thank you for letting me stay here," John smiled in degrade at the man.
"I had nothing to do with it, believe me. It was all Teyla," Kanan's smile could not get any wider at the mention of Teyla's name. He turned again, looking over the ocean. The sun was slowly sinking below the horizon. The cut on his face had stitches and looked ten times better then it did before. The man was slightly hunched over due to the large gash on his side, but he still stood tall and proud.
"So what's your story?" John asked after a long moment, Kanan turned to look at him.

"Excuse me?" he asked politely.

"What are you amongst the Athosians? You just a simple peasant or…?" the colonel stopped there. Kanan lifted his head, both his eyes narrowing in to thin slits.
"In Athosioa we are all equal, but if you must know I am a painter," Johns eyes widened in disbelief.

"A painter. Wow I would of thought Teyla would of fallen for a guy that had a lot more experience" Kanan's lips thinned. He started to speak a tone of warning in his voice.

"I by that you mean fighting, I have a lot of experience. I just choose not to fight. Violence is never the answer." John opened his mouth to say something more, but someone clearing their throat behind him made him close it. Both men turned to see Teyla standing by the now open door. Kanan smiled and went to join her, putting both hands on her waist and brushing his lips across her forehead. She smiled up at him the looked at John.
"Ah John could I please speak with Kanan?" she asked. John nodded his head.

"Sure," but still did not move an inch. There was a silence, then Teyla said.
"Alone?" Johns smile faded a little. He rocked on his heels and clapped his hands in front of him.
"Sure," he said again, and then headed for the door. He shut it behind him and walked away. Teyla glanced back at Kanan.
"What is it you needed to tell me," Teyla smiled delightfully.

"Remember the last night I spent with you, the night we decided to take our relationship further?" Kanan nodded, plastering a seductive smile on his face.

"Yes I remember that night very well," he went in for another kiss, Teyla playfully pushed him away. "Well to put it simply I am pregnant" Kanan's mouth opened in shock but it was quickly replaced with ecstatic smile.
"I'm going to be a father?" he said, overjoyed by the fact.

"We have to celebrate, meet me at my new Quarters nine o clock," Teyla nodded happily.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world."
