Jennifer never believed how she saw though that peep hole in her door, she hadn't seen the man in months…what was he doing here? Curiosity got the better of her as she decided to open the door.

"Hi," he said

"Hi," Jennifer said back.

"We need to talk," he said.

"Yeah… I think we do, come in, take a seat," Jennifer said pointing towards a small breakfast table. They both sat down and faced each other. They sat in silence, neither one of them knowing what to say.

"Look Jennifer, I wasn't the one who…."

"Made love to me?" Jennifer said Ronon just nodded 'awkward,' . "It really looked like you," she said. Jennifer was surprise at the sharpness in her tone. Ronon went on to explain about the strange entity.

"He took my form, had his way with you, manipulated me into thinking I was under a lot of stress and couldn't take it anymore,"

"Well that will make sense then," said Jennifer. Ronon looked confused "when I came back they preformed a couple of test, I was giving off a faint energy reading from uh…" Ronon just nodded and ushered her to continue. "That would explain why then,"

"Indeed." Ronon said they both smiled at him quoting their Jaffa friend. "How is Teal'c?"

"He is doing well," and they started talking, about common friends, Teyla's son, Jennifer's job, planets Ronon had been to, before they knew it, it was dark out. Jennifer and Ronon's stomachs rumbled at the same time.

"Are you hungry?" Jennifer asked

"Just a little," he replied

"Okay, I think I have some food around here somewhere." Jennifer got up and walked into the little kitchen and checked her freezer.

"Pizza ok?" she saw Ronon's brow come together for a second 'does he know what pizza is?'

"Yeah that would be great." Ronon said. 'guess he does,' she thought. Jennifer took the pizza out of the box and put it into the oven. She went into the refrigerator and got out two cans at random. She did not realized what she had picked out until she was over by Ronon to offer the drinks to him.

"Umm… would you like a beer?" she asked

"Sure," he said, Jennifer handed him one, she cracked hers open and took a swig.

"Pizza should be done in about a half an hour." Ronon cracked his beer open to and took a guzzle.

They were quiet for a moment. Jennifer tried to find a topic that she had not touched, but she had shared everything with him...it was easier to talk to him then she though it would be after all this time.

"So will you be coming back?" asked Ronon

"To Atlantis? Maybe," Jennifer asked. Silence clouded them again.

"Do you want to give us a try again?" Ronon asked. Jennifer looked Ronon straight in the eye, placed her can on the table, Ronon mirrored her action, and closed the distance between them, with a moment of courage she did not know where it came from she jumped him and she placed her arms around him, Ronon caught her around the middle and she kissed him with all the love she could give.

"So that's a yes?"

"Yes." Jennifer said. Jennifer craned her neck and kissed him again. She felt his hands grab her and she squealed

"Sorry," Ronon said, but the smile told Jennifer that he really did not mean it. Jennifer started kissing him again.

"I am glad we got this worked out," she said "I missed you so much."

"I missed you to," Ronon said.

BEEP

They both came to their senses at the sound of the beep, Ronon placed her down and Jennifer went to get the pizza out of the oven. Jennifer, heart racing from all the excitement today cut up the pizza and brought him a slice.

"Here you go," Jennifer said. Ronon took the slice and took a bite

"Yum," he said. Jennifer smiled and Ronon smiled back. Once they finished the pizza Ronon and Jennifer settled down on her couch and cuddled up together.

"You know Ronon," started Jennifer, "I feel better when I am with you, like the holes that others left in me are gone."

"Yeah I get a similar feeling," said Ronon they gave each other a smile and snuggled closer to each other. And they spent the rest of the night in each others arms.
