John stormed through the door of his quarters, wishing he could slam the door shut behind him. He collapsed on to his bed, sighing in to the pillow. Sweat ran down his face, from the jog he had done after encountering Kanan on the balcony. His heard pounded against his chest as his breath came put fast and drained. He slipped off his bed and went in to the bathroom running the water to the cold tap. He splashed some water over his face and looked at himself in the mirror. The water trickled down his face and dropped off his chin. He dried it with a towel; feeling anger and hate consuming him. The without warning he put his fist through the mirror. It nosily shattered, sending tiny shards of glass flying in every direction. In to the basin, on to the floor, in to his hand. He glanced at his hand that now dripped with blood, and headed for the door of his quarters then to the infirmary.

Storming down the corridor he passed a few scientists and marines, scaring each of them as he strode by. You could tell he was angry by the look on his face, and by the aggressive pounding of his footsteps against the cold hard floor. He turned a corner, colliding with someone who came his way. He grunted a sorry and looked to see if the person was alright and to his surprise, Teyla stood in front of him. She looked up and smiled.
"Normally people walk around, but you could be different and walk through me." She joked and against his will, Sheppard smiled. He bit down hard on his lip and rubbed the back of his head.
"Where you going so late?" she asked John. He lifted his bleeding hand and showed her.
"Infirmary," the tone in his voice was cold, her mouth and eyes widened as she took him the bloody state of his hand.
"What happened?" she asked reaching for his hand, but he instantly pulled it away.
"What do you care any was same question to you, what are you doing up at this time?" Teyla frowned then shook her head.
"Kanan wanted to see me, are you ok?"
"I'm great." He said then pushed passed her, "Have fun with Kanan," he called coldly down the corridor. Teyla felt hurt and confused as she stood there, alone in the nearly deserted corridors. Then started for Kanans quarters.

Teyla came to the door of Kanan's quarters, stopping short of knocking. Stuck on the front of the door, hung a single red rose and note writing on parchment paper. She carefully took the rose off from the door and put it to her nose, taking in its sweet and flowery scent. She then read the note holding it between her fingers as if it were something delicate and fragile. On the stained paper were two little words, written carefully in the middle of the page. 'Come in"

' Teyla pushed the door and it opened smoothly. The room was dark and clothed in the faint glimmer of the candle light, candles which lay positioned round the room; rose petals lay scattered across the floor, tables and bed. Teyla smiled to herself. Kanan sneaked up behind her, wrapping both hands round her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. She looked down at him, eyebrow raised as he smiled clumsily up at her. She turned round and hugged him. The looked round the room.
"What's all this for?

"Well I was hoping you would welcome me home," he said cheekily, Teyla smiled and held him tighter. He went in for a kiss, Teyla turned her head away. Kanan frowned.
"What is the matter?" she sighed, shacking her head.

"I miss them, our people," she spoke, Kanan nodded his head.
"Me to," he looked at his love, her head bowed low in a ashamed and sad gesture, "We will find them Teyla, and if I know you, if this is what you want you will not stop until you get it," his arms wrapped around her tightly, her face buried in his chest. A muffled sob came from her.

"I am so sorry," He heard her say. His head shot up as he looked down at her.
"For what?" Teyla tried hard to hold back tears as she faced him.
"For everything, this never would have happened, if I had just stayed with you, with the Athosians," her head dropped. Kanan sighed and lifted her chin. "Teyla it's not your fault. None of this is. You came to stay in Atlantis because you wanted to help us like no other leader could. You gave us a safe home, gave us more then just a fighting chance, you gave us a new life." Teyla looked at him, a single tear escaping her eye. "No one blames you Teyla," his mouth neared hers as he leaned forwards, pressing his lips against hers. She closed her eyes and deepened the kiss. It seemed like hours before they finely pulled apart.

"I promise you that we will find them, I will never forget the look on your face when you saw me come through the gate, I made a promise to you then and I intend to keep it," they both sat down on the bed, Teyla yawning tiredly. Kanan still had his arms wrapped round her as the lay together, looking out at the stars in the clear night sky. It didn't take long for Teyla to get to sleep, felling safe and comfortable in her lovers arms, soon after Kanan joined her in slumber.

When Kanan woke he woke alone, with nothing but a screaming of the alarm clock for company. He reached over to turn it off, wincing as a sharp pain went up his side. it was midday. A note lay neatly folded on the pillow next to him, it was Teyla's writing, he could tell, as she had gotten in to the habit of dotting her I's with little hearts. He opened it up and his eyes skimmed across the black delicately written words on the small page.

Went to breakfast, did not want to wake you"

Love Teyla

Xx

He smiled to himself, and forced himself to get up. Getting changed quickly he headed for the mess hall, after seeing Teyla was not there he started for the only place he thought she would spend her free hours. The gym. The door slid open to revel a brightly lit room, it was empty but one person was there and it was not the person he was looking for. Kanan cleared his throat and walked deeper in to the room. Ronon tuned round and smiled faintly.

"Have you seen Teyla anywhere?"" the Athosian asked, Ronon shook his had, throwing the towel he had been using to dry his face with to one of the side benches.

"You must be Kanan," Ronon questioned grumpily. Kanan smiled proudly and bowed his head respectfully.
"That I am,"

"Teyla talks a lot about you; you couldn't believe how happy she was when you came through the gate. It was the first smile I had seen on her face in months," Kanan looked sad for a moment, felling guilty for being part of Teyla's pain. Kanan picked up some fighting sticks from the wall and twirled them round in his hands. All of a sudden Ronon was standing right in front of Kanan, their sizes..

"She loves you, so you better treat her right; her heart doesn't need to be broken again," Ronon grunted then all of a sudden came up with his own fighting sticks, intending to bring them down on Kanan's head, Kanan was quick and blocked the attack, twirling and blocking another one the was aimed toward his groin.

"I could never hurt Teyla." Kanan shouted. Ronon's face neared his, there noses almost touching, he had a look of distrust and anger on his face. "Why not?" he said as he pushed away from Kanan, coming down with another blow, the Athosian twirled away from it. "You have hurt her enough already." Something in Kanan snapped as Ronon came in with another blow; Kanan's sticks went for his head and with brute force slammed his him the floor. Ronon looked up at the man that now stood over him, felling a wet substance making its way down his head. The sadatans hand went to his temple and his fingers came back bloody.

" It haunts me that you can even think of me hurting Teyla, every time I look at her I feel saddened, cause she has lost so much and now her people, I know she will stop at nothing to get them back and I will be right beside her. Do I make my self clear Ronon Dex?" he didn't get an answer and feeling the battle was won headed for the door, leaving Ronon alone and angry in the middle of the room.
