Chapter Five 'Awkward Moment'
Jennifer had been ordered to stay in bed until her wounds healed. Though, that didn't stop her from trying to get out of her room. She made sure her bandage was clean, got dressed, and was about to head out. Since Carson was out on a mission she shouldn't have anyone nagging her to go back to bed. She opened the door and standing there was Ronon. "Hi," Jennifer said with an innocent smile.
"Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" Ronon asked causing her to fiddle with her fingers.
"I was just going to go get something to eat," Jennifer said lying through her teeth. She was really going to the infirmary to catch up on some paper work. Anything would be better than lying in bed.
"Well I brought you some," Ronon said staring at the tray in his hand.
"I see you have," Jennifer said with her arms crossed and he motioned her to turn around. She glared at him and then went back to her bed.
"Look I hate having to stay and do nothing," Ronon said. "But the doc said your wound is almost healed enough to get to work," he said causing her to sigh.
"I know I am just so bored," Jennifer said playing with the fabric on her blanket. "I mean it wasn't even really that bad," she said causing him to snicker.
"You had an arrow sticking out of your stomach," Ronon said sarcastically. "How is that not bad?" He asked causing her to shrug. "And how is it that you can break the rules and others can't?" He asked causing her to look up at him.
"Because I am doctor and I say so," Jennifer said causing him to laugh at her. "Well," she said looking at him. "You can go now I promise not to leave my room," she said smiling.
"I am good here," Ronon said. "Besides you are the only one besides Teyla and Sheppard that doesn't get on my nerves and they are busy," he said taking on of her grapes.
"Okay," Jennifer said. "Pop in a movie," she said motioning to the television.
"What one?" Ronon asked getting up from the bed.
"Doesn't matter," Jennifer said shrugging her shoulders and he went searching through. He picked a horror flick for them to watch.
Ronon was reading the description of the movie. "So Michael Myers is the killer?" He asked causing her to nod her head.
"There is like six more movies after this one," Jennifer said as she pushed play on the remote.
"Let's see if it as good as the box says," Ronon said setting down the case. Jennifer had ate her lunch while watching the movie sharing some of her fruit with him.
Ronon looked over half way through the movie and noticed she had fallen asleep. He smiled down at her and covered her with the blanket on the bed. He turned off the television, picked up the tray, and headed out of the room. Jennifer woke up a few hours later.
Teyla heard her door make a beep. "Come in," Teyla said still meditating on the bed.
"Hey," Jennifer said with a smile on her face. "How are you feeling?" She asked sitting on the chair across the bed. She sat Indian style on her bed and arched her eyebrow.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Teyla asked with a small smile on her face.
"I am fine," Jennifer said. "They said I could go back to work tomorrow," she said smiling.
"That is wonderful," Teyla said looking over at her. "I can see how much it irritates you to have to just sit around doing nothing," she said feeling the same way.
"Is that why you haven't told the others you're pregnant?" Jennifer asked. "Because you fear that they will keep you from the missions," she said causing her to nod.
"I just don't want to be treated any different," Teyla said as Jennifer touched her hand.
"The thing is you have changed," Jennifer replied. "You are carrying a life inside of you not only to have to think about you but your child as well," she said firmly.
"I suppose you are right," Teyla said nodding her head slowly. "So," she said. "A more pressing matter," she said causing Jennifer to arch her eyebrow. "I saw Ronon come out of your room this afternoon," she said leaving Jennifer to roll her eyes.
"It was nothing," Jennifer said. "I guess John had ask him to check up on me and then he brought me some food from the cafeteria then we watched a movie," she said. "Well I fell asleep before it was over," she said laughing slightly.
"So are you and Ronon?" Teyla asked suggestively.
"Oh no," Jennifer said shaking her head. "I mean we are friends and he is good looking but," she said stopping to think. "I don't know I never thought of Ronon that way," she said.
"And now?" Teyla asked causing her to sigh.
"Now you have confused me," Jennifer said crossing her arms and leaning back in the chair.
"My apologies," Teyla said laughing and received a glare.
"I am going to for a walk," Jennifer said standing up. "Would you like to join me?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"No I think I am going head to bed," Teyla said causing her to nod.
"See you tomorrow," Jennifer said waving her goodbye and then leaving the room. It was pretty late and the halls were almost completely empty.
Jennifer walked past the sparing room seeing Ronon in their practicing. She leaned against the door watched him swing the staff around. After her was done she began clapping. "Glad you enjoyed the show," Ronon said with a smirk on his face.
"You are not that bad," Jennifer said with her arms crossed.
"You want to do some sparring?" Ronon asked tossing a staff at her and she caught it.
"My brother wouldn't be happy with that," Jennifer said with a smile.
"Good thing he is asleep," Ronon said getting into a fighting stance and she did the same. "So," he said circling Jennifer. "Why did you learn to fight?" He asked.
Jennifer to a swing at him but he blocked it," Because some guy stuck a gun in my face," she said swinging again. "And tried to stick something some place else," she said causing him to clock her attack again.
"Sorry," Ronon said for bringing up a bad memory.
"I am fine," Jennifer said hitting him across the arm and then in the stomach. "Ha ha," she said causing him to growl.
"Okay no holding back," Ronon said causing her to nod before charging at her. They both got an even good amount of hits in but his experience took her down.
Ronon pinned her to the ground and they stayed their catching their breath. "Not bad," he said looking down at her.
"You win," Jennifer said looking up at him.
"What do I win?" Ronon asked gazing down at her lips.
"What do you want?" Jennifer asked looking into his eyes and down at his lips. Ronon lowered his face down to hers and their lips touched.
Ronon let go over her wrist and she placed her hands against his face. He deepened the kiss by sliding his tongue across her bottom lip and she allowed him access. He ran his hand along the side of her body and she ran hers through his hair. She let a moan escape her mouth and then he pulled her closer to him.
Jennifer had never felt this way about someone it was such an intense passion. Ronon had never kissed anyone since he lost Melena. Was he doing the right thing? It sure did feel right. A loud crackling sound came through Jennifer's head set.
"Dr. Keller," Carson said on the other end.
They pulled apart and Ronon awkwardly got off of her. "Yes Dr. Beckett," she said into the head piece.
"I just finished my paper work," Carson replied. "I can check your wound now," he said causing her to look over at Ronon and he just looked away.
"Sure," Jennifer said standing up. "Um," she said looking down at him. "Bye," she said before heading out and he slammed his fist into the ground.
Jennifer had gotten a clean bill of health and would start work tomorrow. She couldn't stop thinking about her kiss with Ronon. It was so intense and full of passion. After it ended it was just awkward. She didn't want that in her team dynamic. Her door made a noise.
"Coming!" Jennifer said coming to the door and opening it. It was Ronon.
"Hey," Ronon said in a low voice.
"Hi," Jennifer said looking down at him.
"Sorry about earlier," Ronon said causing her to nod.
"So you didn't want to kiss me?" Jennifer asked causing his eyes to spring up.
"No I did but it's just we worked together," Ronon said lying through his teeth. The truth was he was conflicted. He wanted her but then there was Melena.
"Its fine," Jennifer said feeling a bit rejected but wasn't going to let it show. "Besides my brother would kill you," she said causing them to both to laugh a little.
"So we are cool?" Ronon asked knowing that was a common term for people from earth.
"Yeah," Jennifer said. "But I am going to head to bed so," she said with him backing up.
"See you tomorrow," Ronon said before walking away and she closed the door. Jennifer never liked the feeling of rejection but it was best this way.
