Chapter Seven 'Telling the Team'
They met up in Sam's office that next afternoon. Teyla came on the other side of Jennifer with a reassuring smile on her face. Sam sat down across from her and smiled at her as well. John and Rodney just sat there waiting. "Its okay," Ronon whispered in her ear.
"Um…." Jennifer said looking down. "I lied to you guys for awhile," she said. "My life wasn't great it wasn't just school and here," he said.
"Where else did you go?" Rodney asked causing Sam to glare at him. "Sorry," he said.
"When I was fifteen me and my younger sister were kidnapped," Jennifer began. "Sold into sex trade and lived that life for two years," she said with tears filling her eyes. "That is if you can call it a life," he said.
"What?" John asked sitting up straight. "Who?" He asked with anger in his eyes.
"They were Russian," Jennifer said. "I have scar with the initials S.D.," she said. "That was their clan the Slavik Domain," he said. "They believe in a kind of chaotic from of society," he said.
"Like Hitler?" Rodney asked causing her to nod.
"Who got you out?" John asked causing her to look over at Sam.
"That is the other part," Jennifer said. "The Russian's who had stole the Stargate," she said causing them to nod. "Some of them were part of the sex trade," he said.
"We figured they were planning on taking the girls and other merchandise to other galaxy to be sold into trade," Sam said causing them to look in shock.
"You knew this whole time?" John asked looking over at Teyla.
"I had to have someone to talk to," Jennifer said. "She was passed my room when I was having a nightmare and Sam came me permission to tell her everything," she said.
"No offense but why not us?" Rodney asked.
"Because you're a man," Jennifer said. "I figured you would look at me differently," she said causing him to look down.
"No we won't have," John said. "Are these guys put away?" He asked.
"The girls identified most of them," Sam said nodding. "But some are still out there," she said looking over at her. "But we haven't given up hope," she said.
"Where is your sister?" Rodney asked.
"Dead," Jennifer said causing him to look at her sympathetically. "I just thought you all should know so that way there is no more secrets," he said.
"I am glad you did," John said. "And Jennifer if I could have been there," he said.
"I know," Jennifer said nodding her head slowly.
"Well," John said. "I say we take the day off," he said. "Go to the main land do a little swimming," he said looking over at Sam.
"That sounds fine," Sam said. "Have a nice day," she said. "I will have someone take over your shift for you," she said causing Jennifer to smile.
"Now I will get a chance to try on that swimsuit you sent for me," Teyla said with a smile on her face and Jennifer smiled back.
"Are you okay?" Ronon asked looking at her and she stared back at him.
"I will be," Jennifer said. "Now come on let's get going," she said standing up. Ronon grabbed her hand and their fingers linked.
Sam just smiled at the team she had come to know and love. Even Rodney. She went back to work and let them enjoy the day off. They got to the main land a few moments later.
Ronon watched as Jennifer slipped off her shirt and her shorts. "Wow," Rodney said causing him to growl. "Sorry," he said backing away.
"Ronon come here," Jennifer said motioning him over to the water.
"What?" Ronon asked causing her to smile over at Teyla. They both used all their strength to push him into the water but were pulled in as well.
All of them were laughing as John and Rodney came over. They were both pulled in by Ronon.
"You can't do that to someone," Rodney complained.
"Oh come Rodney it's all it good fun," John said splashing Teyla. Jennifer moved over to Ronon and he wrapped his arm around her.
"Oh come on," Rodney said turning away from Ronon and Jennifer kissing.
"I think it's sweet," Teyla said with a smile on her face.
"I think we are done here guys," John said looking at Teyla and Rodney. "Why don't we go watch a movie or something?" He asked causing Teyla to smile.
"I think that would be a lovely idea John," Teyla said heading out of the water.
"Oh come on we just got here," Rodney whined.
"Come on Rodney," John said leading them out of the water.
"John is really nice guy," Jennifer said placing her forehead against Ronon's.
"Yes he is," Ronon said smiling back at her. "How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Better now that it's out," Jennifer said. "And that the reaction I was expecting I didn't get," she said causing him to brush her wet hair back.
"We are your family we would never judge you," Ronon said kissing her again. They enjoyed their time together out in the water before going back to Atlantis.
"So," John said looking over at Ronon from the table.
"So what?" Ronon asked arching his eyebrow.
"How was it?" John asked causing Teyla to roll their eyes.
"That is none of your business John," Teyla said in a firm voice.
"I was just striking up conversation," John said causing Ronon to laugh a little.
"Hey," Jennifer said coming over to them and sitting next to Ronon. John looked at her and she arched her eyebrow. "What are you staring at?" She asked.
"Nothing," John said going back to his food.
"Okay," Jennifer said eating her food as well.
