Chapter Ten 'Marry Me Part II'

Jennifer just stared in disbelief at Ronon's word. She couldn't possibly have heard him right. Why would he want to marry her? "What?" Jennifer asked causing him to smile.

Ronon could tell that he had made her nervous that moment. She looked so cute when she got nervous. "Will you marry me?" Ronon asked in a low voice.

"Are you," Jennifer stuttered. "I mean you want to," she said with tears forming. "What are you doing to me?" She asked causing him to snicker and slowly sit up.

Ronon got face to face with her and set her in between his legs as they dangled off the bed. "I want to marry you Jennifer," he said. "And I know Earth traditions are much different than from my world but I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he said smiling.

"But I have so many flaws," Jennifer said causing him to smile. "I get nervous all the time, and I am not the appealing," she said.

"First off I love you with your flaws," Ronon said stroking her face. "And I beg to differ about the appealing part," he said looking down at her.

"Ronon stop undressing me with your eyes," Jennifer said crossing her arms. Ronon pulled her arms apart and took their hands in his.

"Do you love?" Ronon asked causing her to nod. "And could you see yourself spending forever with me," he said causing her to nod. "Then why not make the leap," he said smiling.

"I can't," Jennifer said pulling away from him and he frowned.

"Why not?" Ronon asked arching his eyebrow.

"Well in my world," Jennifer said with a smirk. "A man has to get down on one knee and ask first," she said with a smile on her face and he smiled back at her. "And jewelry is involved," she said crossing his arms.

"Alright," Ronon said slowly getting off the bed and everyone turned watching. Why was the big scary Satedan getting out of his bed?

They all stood in shock along with John and Teyla as he got down on one knee. Ronon took the bracelet off his wrist and took her left hand. "Will you marry me Jennifer Keller?" He asked.

"Yes I will," Jennifer said with a smile on her face and he slipped the bracelet on. Ronon then stood up and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

Everyone cheered for them in the room and for the first time in her life Jennifer didn't mind the attention. She rested her forehead against his and then pulled him into a hug. "Now lay back down," Jennifer said causing him to snicker.

"Still ordering me around," Ronon said causing her to cross her arms.

"I am going to be your wife get use to it," Jennifer said kissing him once more. "Now lay down don't make me ask you again," she said causing him to smirk and follow orders.

The guys all huddled around Ronon as John get out of his bed to head to him. Teyla motioned her friend to walk over to her. "Hey," Jennifer said causing Teyla to smile.

"I am happy for you," Teyla said touching her hand and a swarm of girls came over. They all took turns look at the bracelet.

"I can't believe how lucky you are to be getting married to Ronon," Marie said with a smile on her face. "I am so glad you are happy," she said to her fellow doctor.

"Thanks," Jennifer said looking down at the bracelet. "For once I am too," she said smiling.

"Alright," Sam said coming into the infirmary. "Give the doctor some room to breathe," she said causing them to go back to work. "Let me see," she said looking at the bracelet.

"I have a favor to ask you both," Jennifer said looking over at Teyla. "I would like you to be my maid of honor," she said with Teyla arching her eyebrow.

"What is that?" Teyla asked confused.

"It's like a captain's right hand," Sam said with a smile. "A great honor for woman in our world," she said causing Teyla to smile brightly.

"I would be honored," Teyla said looking up at Jennifer.

"And Sam I am going to need another bridesmaid," Jennifer said causing her to shake her head.

"Oh no I don't do dresses," Sam said holding up her hands.

"Please," Jennifer said with a puppy dog's face.

"Fine," Sam said groaning. "I'll do it," she said before leaving the room. Jennifer looked back over at Ronon and then bit her lip. She was going to be a wife.

A few days later Jennifer was in her room after a long day in the infirmary. She was waiting for Ronon to get back from a mission. The door came open and a smile came on her face.

"Hey buddy," Laura Cadman said causing her smile to drop. "Oh you were hoping that I was your big bad Satedan," she said laughing at her.

"Well I miss him," Jennifer said leaning back in her chair and Laura came over to her. She set down some magazines and sat across from her. "What are these?" She asked.

"What do they look like?" Laura replied picking up one of them. "Bridal magazines," she said with a smile. "Some of the marines and Monica are going to earth and I think we should bring you back a wedding dress," she said with a smirk.

"Me and Ronon haven't even set a date," Jennifer said causing her to look up. "And what if he doesn't want a traditional wedding," she said looking down.

"Girl he is going to want whatever you want," Laura replied throwing the magazine done. "I seen the way he acts around you," she said smiling.

"You think?" Jennifer asked hoping her friend was right. She wanted to a traditional wedding minus the church of course.

"Yeah," Laura said nodding her head and the door came open.

"Oh sorry," Ronon said looking over at them.

"No I am fine," Laura said picking up the magazine. "We'll talk later," she said before heading out of the room. Jennifer stood up from her chair and stood in front of Ronon.

"Missed you," Ronon said causing her to smile.

"Missed you too," Jennifer said kissing him softly on the lips. Ronon deepened the kiss and lifted her off the ground. They headed over towards the bed to enjoy some alone time together.

The next morning Jennifer woke up still wrapped in Ronon's arms. "Morning," Ronon said kissing her softly.

"Morning," Jennifer said with a smile on her face. "Do we have to get up?" She asked with a groan escape her lips. Ronon just laughed at his future wife.

"Unfortunately," Ronon said with a smirk. "Hey," he said causing her to look up. "What is uh..I think John called it a bachelor party?" He asked arching his eyebrow.

"Oh," Jennifer said snickering. "It's a guys last night of fun before he gets married," she said causing him to look confused.

"Who said it's not going to be fun once we get married?" Ronon asked causing her to nod her head and smile.

"It's just assumed in my world that marriage is hell for a man," Jennifer said in a low voice. "The party consists of drinking and naked girls dancing on top of them," she said looking down.

"Why would I want that?" Ronon asked looking over at him.

"You don't?" Jennifer asked causing Ronon to smile.

"The only naked woman I want on my lap is you," Ronon said stroking her face. "I am sure I can find something else to do for that night," he said in a low voice.

"Like beating up poor innocent marines," Jennifer said arching her eyebrow.

"Maybe," Ronon said causing her to laugh. "But we have about a half hour before work starts so don't you think we should make the most of it," he said pulling her into a kiss.

"Dr. Keller," a voice said over her intercom and Ronon growled.

"Yes," Jennifer said into the intercom. "What is it?" She asked as Ronon began kissing her neck.

"The girls were wanting to talk with your about the arrangements," Monica said causing her to laugh and he groaned into her skin.

"I will be right there," Jennifer said getting out of the bed.

"I'll see you at lunch," Ronon said looking up at her.

"Sure," Jennifer said kissing him one last time and then headed to change. Ronon walked down the hall to John's room about an hour before lunch.

"What did you want?" Ronon asked stopping in his tracks. "What is this?" He asked looking over at a black suit hanging off the door.

"Your tux," John said in a low voice. "I got it shipped hear from earth last night," he said with his smile dropping. "Don't tell me your broke it off," he said looking over at him.

"No," Ronon said. "But I am not wearing that," he said shaking his head.

"Uh yes you are," John said crossing his arms. "Jennifer is going to want a traditional wedding and this is traditional," he said in a firm tone.

"I probably won't have to wear that," Ronon said looking at it with disgust. "I mean I am sure she will be fine with that," he said before walking out of the room.

"He has no clue," John said looking back at the tux. "No clue at all," he said before heading to do some last minute paper work.

"Hey ladies," John said coming over Teyla and Jennifer. "How is the hunt going?" He asked looking over at her.

"Its going," Jennifer said flipping through the book and Ronon came over.

"Oh Jennifer," John said. "I got a tux for Ronon," he said causing Ronon to glare and Jennifer to smile over at him.

"That is great," Jennifer said with a smile on her face. "One less thing we have to look for," she said causing Ronon to march over.

"I am not wearing that thing," Ronon said causing her to look up at him.

"Why not?" Jennifer asked looking up at him. "I mean you would look so great in it," she said in a low voice. "And would mean a lot to me," she said softly.

"No," Ronon said shaking his head. "Its stupid," he said causing her to close the book.

"Oh no," John said seeing Jennifer stand up.

"Jennifer please calm," Teyla said reaching out for her.

"Fine if you think its stupid," Jennifer said crossing her arms. "Then maybe this whole wedding thing is stupid," she said before walking out of the mess hall.

Ronon picked up a chair throwing it across the room and stomped out the opposite way. The room looked at each other in shock. Teyla looked over at John and he just sat back defeated.

AN: Oh no! Trouble in paradise….what is going to happen next?
