Well after many suggestions to carry this on I came up with a final chapter because the last one kind of left you all hanging. So here it. The actual ending to till death do us part. Hope you enjoy.

Please leave a review

Teyla wrapped the blanket more tightly around her self, snuggling more deeply in to her pillow. It had been a week since the funeral and she had not once left her quarters. Ronon had kindly brought her some food and tried to coax her out more then a few times but she just thanked him profoundly and closed the door. Holding the necklace she had bout for Kanaan tightly in her hand, she closed her eyes, wishing that somehow the heartache would stop. She sniffed, she had never been known to cry but with the man she loved gone and possibly her people she did not find the point in holding back tears any longer. Salty tears stained her pillow, as she rubbed her slightly protruding belly. She sobbed in to her pillow, shaky gasps for breath, racking her small body, making her tremble. It was not long until the Athosian shed her last tear for the night, and drifted off to sleep, one hand still resting on her belly and the other, clutching tightly at the only thing she had left of the man she loved.

Jennifer had decided that the galaxy was fair to no one. Evil beings such as Wraith, Replicators, murders and rapists made the world unclean. The time on the planet, alone with the man that had managed to incapacitate Ronon had been the worst few moments of her life. Every time she closed her eyes she could see his face, staring down at her through the dirt and grime that covered his skin. His face, betraying no emotion, except the lustful look in his eyes. His teeth, all rotten, brown and falling out, almost as if trying to show his true personality. Jennifer had busied herself with whatever she could find, trying to forget about what the man would have done to her if he had not been distracted. She thought about the past events and what had lead up to them, then she thought about Teyla. The Athosian had been locked up in her room, ever since she came back from her home world, ever since she had said goodbye to Kanaan. Herself as well as a few others had brought her food, tried to talk her into coming out of her room, but none prevailed. When Teyla had her mind set, she stuck to it, but that is what scared the doctor. Teyla was not really in the right frame of mind, and the constant not eating was harming the baby, Teyla of coarse knew this and ate whatever she was given. Ronon, John, Herself and even Rodney tried to keep up with her strange cravings, broccoli smothered in chocolate sauce, blue Jelly with mash potato and other such things that the doctor could not imagine eating together. She leaned back on her chair and blew a few bits of stray hair from her face. If it weren't for Teyla, Doctor Keller would probably be dead, the flesh peeled from her bone by the Boli kai. She often found herself wondering what would have happened, if the Athosian warrior had not been there. Teyla had helped her through a rough time; it was up to Jennifer, to return the favour.

The chime of the door was what woke Teyla from her restless slumber, it was getting dark out side, through her window, Teyla could see the last glance of the sun sinking beneath the sea. Their was a high wind outside, she could tell by the whistle it brought to her ears. She looked at her clock. 6pm. Hearing the door chime call her again, she sighed and got up sloppily, half dragging her self across the small room. Running her hand over the control panel the door opened and she was surprised to see Jennifer Keller standing patiently outside, a try of food in her hands. As the door slid open the other woman looked up and smiled widely.

"Hey Teyla," she said cheerfully, Teyla squinted, her eyes still adjusting to the light in the corridor.

"Doctor Keller," she gritted grimly. Jen handed Teyla the tray.
"They didn't have any mash, so I just brought you some Jell-O" she said with a small girlish giggle. Teyla forced a smile, not really wanting to see anyone.

"How very kind of you," she said her tone flat.

"You sure you don't want to come to the mess, they might have put a new batch of mash out," Teyla eyes the doctor and shook her head.

"I am positive, thank you," she said, and then the door slid shut. The leader looked at the brown tray she had in her hands, and then set it down on her bed. A plate of wobbling jelly met her eyes, along with a steaming cup of tea and a piece of white paper. Teyla frowned and picked it up, placing the small sheet between her forefinger and thumb. Three words were written neatly in the centre.

'You're not alone.'

Doctor McKay sat at a table by the window, looking out over the ocean and at the black waters below. He could faintly see the sparkle of the waves as the glimmer of the moons gazed down upon them. He could faintly hear the low murmuring of conversation around him and the sounds of cutlery hitting plates. He turned his head to see both John and Ronon approach him, each with a try piled with food. He himself was not very hungry, and rolled his eyes as his two friends joined him for dinner.

"Hey McKay," Ronon said through a mouthful of carrots, McKay smiled slightly, disgusted at the Satedan's table manners.

"What's up with you?" John asked, he was polite enough to speak before shovelling food in to his mouth.

"Nothing I am just tired," the scientist replied. He looked out of the window again, and the table fell silent. Uncomfortably silent.

"Hey have any of you guys talked to…." He looked up, his eyes and mouth widening in unison. "Teyla…" it took a moment for John to realize Rodney was staring over his shoulder. He and the Setadan turned, their expressions miming Rodney's. Teyla stood behind them, her hands shoved in her pockets her eyes averted to the floor.

"Hey stranger," John greeted with a warm smile. Teyla looked up at them slightly.

"Can I join you?" she stuttered.

"Since when do you have to ask," Sheppard said, and inclined his head to the empty seat beside him. Teyla smiled and made her way to the table, seeming unsure of herself. She plopped her self down in the metal seat, her hands resting on her stomach.

"So figured out a name yet?" Rodney asked with a smile.

"What?" Teyla asked confusion clear on her fetchers.

"The little one," the scientist pointed towards her expanding waistline.

"You know, Rodney's a great name for a kid," he said proudly, Ronon chuckled beside him and put a gentle hand on Teyla's arm.

"Just as long as you don't call him Meredith" Teyla smiled widely at the comment and it was only then she realized that as long as she had friends, she was never alone.
