TAG to Be All My Sins Remember'd Part Two

.

Teyla stirred awake turning further into John, her chin resting on his shoulder as she watched his profile.

"Making love isn't bad for the baby, right?" He should have thought of that before.

"Not that I am aware of."

"You never asked Keller?"

Teyla smirked at John.

"Right, what did you tell her anyway?"

"She did not ask yet, but I think I will go with Ronon's assumption."

"Huh?" John asked lifting his head to be able to look at Teyla better.

"He assumed that Kanaan was the father."

"Your friend who had the bonding thing with Maya?" he asked, wondering how Ronon had gotten that impression. "Ronon really believes that you are with Kanaan and that he …?"

"Fathered our child? Yes."

"Okay," John stretched the word, before leaning forward to place a kiss on Teyla's nose. "Good to know."

"Yes, it is."

They fell silent and John looked back at the ceiling while Teyla snuggled on his chest. They would have to get up soon.

"How did you find me anyway?" John suddenly asked, knowing she could barely have asked in the control room for his whereabouts without attracting attention.

Teyla leaned over John and grabbed the LSD she had used yesterday to show it to John.

It immediately lit up.

John's eyes went wide before a smug smile entered his face.

"Cool. How did you …"

"Find out," Teyla interrupted and John nodded.

"Last night when I was searching for you, the doors suddenly opened and closed for me without me having to use the sensors. When Rodney told me you had left the mess two hours previously to go to bed, I really started to worry as you hadn't come back here. I knew you had this." She waved the LSD. "And since the doors suddenly seemed to read my mind, I just tried it out."

"I didn't mean to scare you."

"I know you did not. We both made mistakes, but we will learn."

"Yeah, we will."

Teyla replaced the LSD back on the nightstand, before she settled back down against John.

"I think we will have to confess to Jennifer who really got you pregnant," John said after a moment, sure Keller would find out eventually that none of her people could have fathered the baby.

Teyla nodded against John's chest, after a moment she started to place kisses on the muscled plain of his stomach.

"Teyla," John warned. "You might want to stop that. As much as I would like to make love to you the whole day, I'm pretty sure someone has noticed my absence by now."

"I am sure they have," Teyla said. "But since Rodney gave me your com last night, I had a good excuse to call in sick for you earlier this morning," she announced smiling. "By the way, Jennifer said that you are to visit the infirmary if you do not feel better by the evening," she paused grinning before going on. "And Rodney said he will be busy in the lab. Ronon took over my self-defense classes, allowing me to take care of you and to clear the air as Rodney said. They will come by tonight to see if you are better, though."

John chuckled as he pulled Teyla up so her face was up to his. "There is no harm in doing … this?"

"I do not believe so. But we shall talk to Jennifer tonight, together."

"Good, because I'm planning on not leaving this bed today," he said pulling her close again to once more show her just how happy he was.

Missing scene and TAG to Spoils of War

.

"You will have to talk to her eventually," Rodney pointed out to John when he left the ready room. Though the others were already on their way to the Jumper he had thought it best to wait and talk to John.

"I did, Rodney."

"Didn't look like it, just now."

John stopped and turned to Rodney. "For the last time McKay, this is none of your business."

Rodney crossed his arms across his chest and huffed indignantly. He turned without saying another word and walked ahead.

John grumbled, getting into another fight, albeit a small one, with Teyla was bad enough, without Ronon and Rodney getting involved every time. Why in the world did she have to come to the ready room to start that discussion again?

Despite Teyla's words, they had discussed this matter more than once and had agreed to disagree. The rest was more as show for the others and her trying to get her will. Still, John was a little pissed, he knew Teyla wanted to find her people and he would help her, but he wanted her to be safe, too. This was dangerous.

For the first time being Teyla's CO was becoming a problem, luckily Carter had backed him up on his decision to take her off duty and even Keller had taken his side.

The doc had been pretty cool about the whole thing, even if she had gotten a bit pale when Teyla and he had asked her to talk in private.

Over the past weeks she and Teyla had become very good friends however, and the doc often was in Teyla's quarters when John came home. He was glad Keller was distracting Teyla from the fact that her people were missing and Teyla could talk girly stuff with her.

John waited for Rodney to take the transporter before moving on, not in the mood for another discussion. Lately, Ronon and Rodney had been very interested about how Teyla and John interacted. More than once, John had ended up with a string of well meant, but totally useless advice.

…

Rodney stepped out of the transporter, coming face to face with Ronon.

"And?" he asked the scientist.

"Next time you can talk to him," Rodney groused. "Why did I have to anyway?"

"You lost," Ronon stated smugly.

"Right, next time I choose the game. "

Ronon shrugged. "I like Rock, Paper, Scissors."

"Sure you do. You always win. Let's go, Colonel Sunshine should be here any moment. I'm not in the mood for another argument.

…

"Let's go home, Teyla," John said leaning back, looking into her eyes. He could see the pain in her eyes and felt bad as he could barely hide his happiness. They were having a boy. He was getting a son. He couldn't be more proud.

He knew they should be more careful, anyone could see them here on the balcony. But he had known that Teyla needed him. He brushed her tears from her cheeks. This had been the reason he wanted her to stay here, where she was safe, and as painful as it was for both of them it had been a lesson she had needed to learn, to understand his intentions.

He was sure they would not discuss the matter of her not being in the field again. Though he felt anything but happy he had been right. He had barely acknowledged her admitting that he had been right. He was just glad his family was healthy.

John kept his arm around Teyla's shoulders when they walked to her quarters. He quickly said an official goodnight then hurried to his own quarters. Teyla was already sitting on his bed, holding his pillow in front of her - it looked like she needed a lot of consolation tonight. Something he was glad to give.

He settled on the bed next to Teyla, pulling her into his embrace. He would hold her as long as she needed to.

"You are a good husband, John," Teyla said quietly, surprising John. She had been so quiet John had been sure she was asleep.

John gasped, wondering what to say. For some time he had pondered on that topic, but after his mess up he had been sure she never agree to marry him. Though he clearly remembered his slip telling her he was a bad husband and not boyfriend or partner practically announcing what he thought, how he felt about her. She belonged to him, as did he to her.

Teyla shifted to see John's face. He blinked at her, not knowing what to make of her words. Teyla seemed to sense his hesitation.

"I love you, John and even though we never married like I have seen in your movies, it is how I feel about you."

John gulped, before starting to smile. "I promise, Teyla, we'll get married as soon as we will get a chance to go to earth together, if you really want to?"

Teyla nodded, pulling John in for a kiss. That night they slept in John's quarters, though his bed was barely made for two, let alone three. Teyla seemed to need him as close as possible and in the small bed, he would not turn away in sleep. So he slept with his hand resting on the little bump that now adorned Teyla's till a week ago flat stomach.
