Chapter Nine 'Marry Me Part I'
Ronon looked down at the angel sleeping in his arms. He hadn't been this happy in a long time and he wasn't about to let it go. In fact he wanted to make it more permanent. On Sateda once a couple became physical it was obvious they were meant to be together. Satedan men didn't just have sex to have sex well at least not true Satedan men. But he didn't know what the customs were on earth. Would Jennifer want to marry him? Would she fear they were moving too fast in their relationship? Would he chase her off? 'God woman from earth are far more complicated,' he thought to himself. Ronon looked down to see her string in her sleep and mumbling some incoherent words. He just smiled to himself, 'but she is worth it.'
"Morning," Ronon said as her eyes fluttered open.
"Morning," Jennifer said with a smile on her face and kissed his chest lightly. Then kissed his lips gently and ran her hand down his side.
"Hmm," Ronon said shivering at her touch. "That tickles," he said causing her to laugh. "What is so funny?" He asked looking down at her.
"Nothing," Jennifer said looking up at him. "It's just the big bad runner is ticklish," she said causing him to roll them over so he hovered over her.
"That doesn't leave this room," Ronon said with a stern tone and she smirked.
"What do I get for keeping quiet?" Jennifer asked causing him to press his lips to hers. They dove under the covers again enjoying the feel of each other.
Ronon had left her room just before breakfast was to be served in the mess hall. He had to admit the girl wore him out and he needed to recharge. Jennifer had an early shift that morning in the infirmary anyway. John and Teyla were sitting at the table eating.
"Hey buddy," John said with a smile on her face. "How is the doc?" He asked with a smirk and he was smacked in the back of the head. Teyla glared at him and he rubbed the sore spot.
"I was just worried about her," John said looking over at him. "I mean you are a big guy and she is a very small women," he said causing him to flinch fearing Teyla would hit him again.
"She is fine," Ronon said in a firm voice. "And you better not joke about this to Jennifer or we are going to have problems," he said pointing over at him.
"You got it man," John said raising his hands in the air. "But you guys are still good?" He asked causing him to nod his head.
"Yeah," Ronon said with a smile. "John I wanted to ask you something," he said putting down his roll. "How do women from earth look at marriage?" He asked causing Teyla to drop her fork.
"Um marriage," John said with a shaky voice. "I uh," he stuttered sitting up. "I mean all earth women after different," he said. "Some like a fast marriage others don't," he said.
"Are you thinking of making Jennifer your wife?" Teyla asked causing him to nod his head.
"I love her," Ronon replied. "And she loves me," he said looking at his food. "I think it would be perfect," he said looking at both of them.
"You have to go about this very delicately Ronon," John said. "You don't want to scare her off but then again the doc is not like most women," he said scratching his head.
"How do I go about it without scaring her off?" Ronon asked arching his eyebrow. "I mean asking about marriage is a big thing no matter what world you are from," he said firmly.
"Let me speak with her first," Teyla said touching his hand. "And we will go from there," he said causing her to nod her head.
"That would be great Teyla," Ronon said with a genuine smile. "Thank you," he said causing her to bite down on her lip and rub her belly.
"You really love her don't you?" Teyla asked looking over at him.
"Very much," Ronon said nodding his head.
"Well if she says yes," John replied receiving a glare. "I mean when she says yes," he said correcting himself. "We will have a huge bachelor party for you," he said with a smile.
"Bachelor Party?" Ronon asked arching his eyebrow.
"Sheppard," Sam said into his intercom and he just sighed.
"I am kind of eating lunch here," John said leaning back in his seat.
"Something is going on down in the infirmary," Sam said causing them both to jump up.
"We'll be right there," John said running into the transporters with Ronon and Teyla. "I am sure she is fine big guy," he said causing him to look over at him.
The transporter stopped on the floor of the infirmary and they went running. "AHH!!" A solider yelled tackling Jennifer to the ground.
"Lueteinet Mitchell," Jennifer said struggling with the man.
"Get a sedative," Marie yelled to one of the nurses.
Mitchell went for her throat and started choking her. "You are not going to kill me," he said with anger in his eyes.
Jennifer felt herself drifting off when Mitchell was pulled off of her. She looked up to see Ronon pinning him to the wall. He began squeezing his neck cutting off his air supply. Marie ran over to both of them and sedated Mitchell. "Ronon," Jennifer coughed out.
"Let him go man," John said gripping his arm. "He's down," he said softly but he didn't let go.
"Jennifer needs you Ronon," Teyla said with a firm stare and he looked at Jennifer. She was still on the floor trying to regain her composure.
Ronon dropped the man to the ground and a few soldiers dragged him to isolation. "Are you okay?" He asked checking her neck and running his hands along her face.
"I am fine," Jennifer said smiling up at him.
"What the hell was that?" John asked looking down at her.
"I don't know," Jennifer said as Ronon helped her up. "I was tending to his wounds and then all of a sudden he got angry," he said in a firm tone.
"John," Sam said coming into the room. "Report," she replied firmly.
"Apparently Leuitent Mitchell went a little nutty," John said looking back at the doctor. Sam saw the bruises on her neck.
"You should get some rest," Sam said causing her to roll her eyes.
"I am fine," Jennifer said in a firm tone. "I just need to get back to work," she said. "Something is seriously wrong with him and I need to run a scan," she said causing Ronon to growl.
"You think that is such a wise idea since he tried to kill you," Ronon said causing her to sigh and look up at him.
"If it would make you feel better you can come with me," Jennifer said heading to get the scanner prepared for transport.
"Fine," Ronon said causing John to snicker. "What?" he asked glaring at him.
"Nothing," John said raising his hands up in the air. "But me and Teyla better go with you just in case Ronon tries to kill him," he said arching his eyebrow.
"I would appreciate that," Jennifer said slightly laughing. "Ronon," she said causing him to come over to her. "Help me move this please," she said with a smile.
"Okay," Ronon said pushing the scanner out of the room for her. John just laughed and Teyla smacked him in the back of head.
"OW!!" John said rubbing his head and Sam just shook hers. Mitchell was still laying on a cot in the isolation still heavily sedated.
"Hold on," Ronon said stopping her from going in and he pushed him the machine. "Okay," he said taking her hand in his and leading her in.
"What should we do Jennifer?" Teyla asked arching her eyebrow.
"Nothing," Jennifer said shaking her head. "Just stand there in case he wakes," she said causing them to nod.
Jennifer set up the scanner over him and made sure he was lying flat. She started the scanner and stood back for a minute. Just as she was turning it off and ready to leave he grabbed her. Ronon jumped up immediately and twisted his arm. "Whoa Ronon," John said hearing Mitchell scream.
"Don't touch her," Ronon said glaring down at him but then felt a sense of calm. She touched his arm and looked deep into his eyes. "I think I sprained it," he said causing her to nod.
"What is going on?" Mitchell asked through the pain.
"You tried to kill me," Jennifer said going to her medical bag.
"No I would never," Mitchell said shaking his head.
"You don't remember doing it?" Teyla asked coming over to him.
"Why would I hurt the doc?" Mitchell asked looking over at them. "She has always been great with me and my team," he said smiling over at her.
"Well you did," Ronon said glaring at him.
"And for now you are going to have to stay here," John said causing him to nod.
"I understand," Mitchell said looking over to her. "I am sorry," he said softly.
"Forget it," Jennifer replied. "I will find out what is wrong with you," she said before heading out of the isolation room.
They got back into the infirmary taking a look at the scanner. "Nothing is wrong," Marie said looking them over once more.
"Wait," Jennifer said spotting something. "A rash," she said looking at the scan of his chest.
"We need all the marines from Mitchell's team in here now," Marie said in a firm tone. John paged Sam who called all of them to the infirmary.
"We should leave," Teyla said touching John's arm.
"No," Jennifer said in a firm tone. "We don't know if this is contagious or not," she said in a firm tone. "I need you all to get in a gown now!" She said heading to the other doctors.
Rodney was working on figuring out an antidote for this disease. The rash had gone from bad to worse in a matter of minutes. Everyone was becoming more irritated by the minute. "How are you going over here?" Jennifer asked Rodney though the intercom.
"I am working as hard as I can," Rodney said. "You this isn't easy," he said arching his eyebrow.
"SHUT UP!!" Teyla yelled out as one of the nurses.
"Teyla," Jennifer said coming over to her. "What is going on?" She asked arching her eyebrow.
"This bitch is trying to kill my baby," Teyla said glaring over at her.
"Hey," Jennifer said causing her to shot her head over to her. "I will not let anyone kill your baby do you understand me," she said firmly. "But you need to calm down," she said.
"Fine," Teyla said glaring back at the nurse. "But get her away from me," she said firmly.
"Okay come on," Jennifer said motioning the nurse away from Teyla. Ronon sat up on the hospital bed and headed out of the infirmary.
"Ronon," Jennifer said going after him. "Ronon," she said following him.
"What is going on?" Sam asked only to be thrown across the hall by Ronon. Jennifer rushed over to Sam checking her pulse.
"RONON!!!" Jennifer yelled out to him. "Medical team to the hall outside the infirmary Sam may have some internal injuries," she said heading after Ronon.
Ronon went up into the control room to open the gate to Sateda. He tossed a few guys out of the way when Lorne came up holding a gun. "Don't make me shoot you," Lorne said firmly.
"Lorne wait!" Jennifer yelled coming up the stairs. "Ronon please come back to the infirmary with me," she said coming to him.
"There are wraith that need to be killed," Ronon said punching the address on the stargate. "I have to take care of them," he said with anger in his eyes.
"But I need you here," Jennifer said causing him to look down. "I need you to protect me from anyone who gets out of control," she said hoping it would reach him.
"Why?" Ronon asked. "I mean you're not even worth the sweat," he said snickering to himself and she looked down. "Awe did I make you cry?" he asked cruelly.
"Do it," Jennifer said looking past Ronon and another marine stunned him. "Come on we got to get him back to the infirmary," she said firmly.
"Hey," Lorne said gripping her shoulders. "He didn't mean it," he said softly.
"I know," Jennifer said going to her ear piece. "Rodney I need that antidote now," she said in a firm tone.
"I am almost done," Rodney said typing swiftly on his computer. "I got it meet me in the infirmary," he said with a huge satisfied grin.
Jennifer had met up with Rodney in the infirmary along with Marie. They made batches of the antidote and gave it to all the sick. "How long till we see results?" Rodney asked.
"We don't know," Jennifer said. "All we got to do is wait," she said softly. "Great job for someone isn't a doctor," she said patting him on the back.
"Uh thanks," Rodney said with a smile and then headed out of the infirmary.
Ronon woke up a few hours later with Jennifer beside him checking his vitals. "Jennifer," Ronon said groaning a bit.
"Hey," Jennifer said looking down at him. "We got the cure," she said. "Everyone is going to be just fine," she said firmly.
"That is great," Ronon said sitting up in his bed and she pushed him back.
"But you still have to stay overnight," Jennifer said in a firm tone and Ronon grunted. She headed over to Teyla to find her apologizing to the nurse.
"How is my baby?" Teyla asked looking at Jennifer.
"Perfectly fine," Jennifer said in a firm tone. "But I will check again in a few hours," she said causing her to nod her head. "Now just rest up," she said rubbing her arm.
Lorne came over to Ronon making sure he was okay from being stunned. "Hey," Loren said looking down at him.
"Hey," Ronon said sitting up in her bed a little.
"No hard feelings against my marine for stunning you," Lorne said with a crocked smile and he just laughed.
"No," Ronon said. "I would have done the same thing," he said nodding his head.
"Have are you and the doc?" Lorne asked looking over at Jennifer.
"What do you mean?" Ronon asked arching his eyebrow.
"She didn't tell you," Lorne said causing Ronon to shake his head. "Oh no," he said looking over at Jennifer knowing she would be upset with him.
"Tell me Lorne," Ronon said glaring at him and Lorne couldn't say no.
"Um you kind of told her she wasn't worth protecting," Lorne said causing Ronon's glare to turn to an expression of regret.
"Thanks Lorne," Ronon said looking over at Jennifer. Lorne nodded then walked out of the infirmary to go speak with Sam. "Jennifer," he said causing her to look up.
Jennifer walked over to him quickly, "Is something wrong?" She asked looking at him with some concern and he grabbed her hand.
"I am so sorry for what I said to you," Ronon said causing her to arch her eyebrow. "Lorne told me," he said seeing a glare. "Don't be mad you should have told me anyway," he said firmly.
"Look I know you didn't mean it," Jennifer said touching his face. "So I didn't think it was worth talking about," she said as he kissed her palm.
"I would die for you," Ronon said causing her to smile.
"And I you," Jennifer said with a smile. "But I really should get to work," she said starting to walk away and he stopped her.
"Marry me," Ronon said causing her to look at him in shock.
Did he just say that? Did he just ask her to marry him? Did she want to marry anyone? Jennifer stood there thinking these questions over and over again.
