He glared at her predatorily, then thrust the knife, towards her stomach

Teyla watched in horror as the blade descended down upon her, the tip glinting as the suns rays penetrated off of it, through the thick and blinding mist. She tried to move away, but her captor held her in a crushing iron hold. Laughing as she pulled against him. She waited for the pain to erupt through her stomach, waiting for the blade to piece the soft skin of her belly. She faintly heard weapon discharge and cracked one eye open, A red bust of energy exploded behind Nabal, his eyes went wide with surprise and pain. The knife dropped from his hand and on to the floor with a bone chilling shatter. Nabal hit the ground hard, his back still smoking from a burning hole in his shirt. Her captors laughs subsided as they stared wide eyed at there friend that now lay dead on the cold floor. He loosened his grip, as Ronon and the team stepped down from the platform in which he stood, the man that held Teyla threw her hard against the wall, breaking off in to a run and disappearing in to the depths of the thick fog that surrounded them. John kneeled down at Teyla's side as she wrapped her arms tightly round her stomach. John looked down at her with concern as the others stood nearby.

"Teyla, you ok?" John asked, torching her arm affectionately, she looked up at him and nodded.

"I am fine," he nodded.

"Lets get home, there is nothing here Teyla," he helped her to her feet, grasping her tighter as she swayed a little. Placing a comforting hand between her shoulders she nodded for him to let her stand on her own. He reluctantly let go, and together they all started for the gate.

Teyla hadn't said a word since they had started for the gate, and her silence was beginning to worry John. He knew she wasn't big on talking, but she occasionally said a word or two most of the time. Her face was but a blank expression, like a mindless drone, as they got further away from the village it got colder. And the closer they got to the gate. Sending a view worried glances her way, she could tell that something was bothering her, by the way she had her head down the entire walk back, the way her arms were constantly wrapped around her stomach, and the way even in the setting sun John could see a glistening wetness in her eyes. Tears on the verge of tumbling down her cheeks. The gate started up, a blue shimmer of light engulfing the darkness. With one final look back, the team stepped through the gate and arrived on the other side.

It was late when Teyla strode down the corridor towards her quarters, having just been in the infirmary she felt a welcomed solitude at being alone in the dark and vacant hallways. She was glad to hear that the baby was ok, after the run in with Nabal she was beginning to wonder whether she was doing the right thing, in going off world being three and a half months pregnant, she kept telling herself that she couldn't just sit around Atlantis all day and do nothing to help her people, after all, Athosian woman stay very active in the community when they are pregnant, why should she be any different. She silently walked towards the gym, not wanting to go to her quarters straight away. Flickering light glowed from the darkness of the training room. She smiled and stopped just outside the door. Candles lay scattered around the room, lighting the dark corners with a natural light. Teyla hated the artificial lights that Atlantis had and didn't know why the humans depended as much as they did. Teyla crossed her arm and stared across the room at the figure that sat in the meditative position, candles surrounded him, making his skin glow with a godly light. Teyla smiled, wanting to commit the site of him to memory. His back straitened as he sensed someone behind him, turning his head round he smiled widely as he caught site of Teyla.

"I did not mean to disturbed you." She said politely, he got to his feet and shook his head.

"No, no, no I was just finishing actually," he said with an even wider smile. Teyla couldn't help but smile back. He strode towards her, shirt in hand. Watching the way his skin glistened and glowed in the candle light did nothing to quench the burning desire she still felt for him. She set her jaw tight as she saw the necklace she had given him dangling round his neck, bouncing off his chest every time he took a step towards her, biting her lip she swallowed hard, looking up once again at his handsome face.

"Would you want me to walk you to your quarters?" he asked, his eyebrows rising slightly. Teyla nodded her head and started out the door.

It was a quiet walk back to Teyla's quarters, hushed, sweet and comfortable. The corridors were almost empty, apart from those who were unlucky enough to be put on night watch. Neither Kanaan nor Teyla had said a word since the gym. Kanaan looked worried, seeming to be deep in thought; Teyla creased her brow, deciding to break the silence.

"What's on your mind?" She asked, Kanaan's head shot up as his face softened.

"Those men on the planet, the ones that tried to kill you, I am confused as to why." Teyla looked away from him, her jaw clenching tightly.

"I have just recently lost a few people, people I would be glad to call my family. I just want to find out who is responsible and if that means fighting for my life to find them… then so be it," she finished, finely lifting her head to look at him. He gazed back at her.

"That's really sweet." Teyla smiled, turning her back to the door of her quarters when they arrived. Another silence.

"So I will see you tomorrow," she said, he nodded.

"Sure," he answered. Teyla smiled awkwardly the turned to go through the door, closing it behind her.

Atlantis corridors were dark, shadows lingered in corners, threatening to jump out at anyone that passed. The moon that hung in the night sky was dim and weak, seeming to be dangling by a thread. The city was asleep.

Teyla's sleep was restless, constant tossing and turning wrapped her up in an annoying tangle of hot and sweaty sheets. Her forehead creased persistently as if, dreaming. Images if the night her and Kanaan had spent together played in her mind, making her heart ach with a cold, stinging pain.

Running through the forest with predatory speed, Kanaan and Teyla couldn't help but laugh as they both got drenched from the pouring rain. It had started out a pleasant night, the stars high in the sky, gazing down on the cold lands of new Athos. Kanaan and Teyla had decided to take a small picnic in to the woods, just the two of them, alone together. Little did they know that the weather would decide to turn on them. They hadn't even made it to the second course yet; when the rain started to come, its tiny droplets of water making the lake that once stood still in-front of them ripple manically. After a while of jumping over logs, avoiding getting tangled in the vines that hung from the trees and fighting off annoying flesh eating bugs, they had come to a tiny wooden shack, one that had been built for shelter after a long night of hunting, quickly taking refuge under the roof of the small dwelling. After Kanaan fought against the wind to close the door, he lifted a large plank of wood and placed it snugly against the door. He turned round and smiled as Teyla dried her self off with the picnic blanket, once dry she let it drop to the floor, along with her damp jacket. Strong hands wrapped around her waist and she turned round, gazing up at Kanaan and then nestled her head on his chest, she felt his hands tighten around her. Kanaan cleared his throat, staring across the room and seeing a bed that lay comfortably at the far end of the hut. Covered in skins, furs and other such fabrics.

"One bed… two of us" he said, feeling Teyla smile in to his chest. She looked up at him, her eyes wide and seducing.

"We are both adults, we can share" She said, a cheeky grin marrying her lips. He smiled back. For a moment they stood still, basking in the warmth of each others arms, a felling of safety making its way in to watch on of their hearts. Kanaan inched closer and closer, until their lips met, in a soft, gentle kiss.

Teyla opened her eyes upon hearing her name being called over her radio. She yawned loudly and reached for her headset, cursing the person that had pulled her from her dream. Grabbing the radio she pressed the talk button.

"This is Teyla," she said angrily. Rolling her eyes she told her self to be calm.

"Can you please report to the briefing room?"

"I will be there soon," she sighed, then set her radio aside. Throwing the covers aside and trotting in to the bathroom she quickly washed, changed and set out towards the briefing room. Soon she found herself in front of the briefing room door, watching as it slid open to reveal the small amount of people inside.

"You called?" she asked, the room went quiet. She looked at every occupant of the room with worried eyes.

"What?" Samantha Carter stood from her seat, clearing her throat.

"We have recently had some Intel about the whereabouts of your people," She said, at Teyla's hopeful look she smiled.

"We received it two days ago." The Athosians face dropped.

"Two days," She said flatly. "And you waited in till NOW to tell me!!" she shouted, her anger increasing considerably.

"Teyla calm down, we were busy with other things. And…"

"Busy with other things?" she laughed mockingly. "Figures, every time it is right for you, you are going to help find them, but every time you got something better to do, their yesterdays problem!" her patience was long since broken by this time.

"Tell me one thing Colonel Cater. Did you not tell me because you wanted to give me some space… or because they are not from your world", Teyla stated. The room, once again was hushed. She looked at each person in the room, staring in to their ashamed faces. She sniggered unpleasantly at them. Then turned to leave.
