Chapter Eleven 'I'll Be There'

Jennifer gathered the sheets up around her chest and looked up at her brother. Ronon scooted closer to her knowing she was worried. "Look John," he said causing John to raise his hand.

"Get your clothes and get out!" John yelled over at Ronon.

"Don't tell him to get out," Jennifer said glaring at her brother. "I want him here," she said in a firm tone.

"You don't know what you want," John said looking over at Ronon. "I can't believe you did this with my sister," he said looking at him in disgust.

"I am a big girl," Jennifer said looking over at him.

"No one is talking to you," John yelled out at her and she flinched.

"Don't talk to her like that," Ronon said causing John to snicker at him.

"We have to talk," John said looking over at her sister. "It's about dad," he said causing her face to drop from anger to worry.

"What about him?" Jennifer asked causing John to look over at Ronon. "You should go," he said causing him to nod his head.

"I will be back," Ronon said grabbing his clothes, getting dressed, and leaving the room. John glared at Ronon as he passed. "I care about her," he said before he left the room.

"What were you thinking?" John asked looking over at her.

"I am thinking that I care about him," Jennifer said softly. "I am thinking that he makes me feel special and I am going to keep seeing him," she said causing him to sigh.

"We'll deal with that later," John said firmly. "Right now I need to tell you something," he said sitting down on the bed with her.

"What?" Jennifer asked getting worried and he touched her free hand.

"He's gone," John said causing her to shaking her head.

"What do you mean he's gone?" Jennifer asked with tears in her eyes.

"He passed away," John said causing her to shake her head and he held her close. They had packed their bags and went to the gate.

Ronon and Teyla came over to them as the gate began to open. "I am sorry," Ronon said looking at the both of them.

"Thanks," John said looking away from him.

"I'll see you when I get back," Jennifer said hugging Ronon and John just rolled his eyes. "Take care of that baby," she said looking over at Teyla.

"Always," Teyla said with a smile on her face and they turned to the gate. "Okay," she said turning to Ronon once they had gone through. "What happened?" She asked.

"Lunch," Ronon said causing her to nod her head and they went to the cafeteria. After getting their food they sat down at a far table.

"Well?" Teyla asked waiting for a response.

"John caught me and Jennifer in bed," Ronon said causing her to look in shock. "And he isn't too happy about it," he said causing he to nod her head.

"He's very protective of her," Teyla said in a low voice and he snickered.

"But I think he would know me better than to think I would hurt her," Ronon said clenching his fist together and she touched his hand.

"Just give him time I am sure he will come around," Teyla said in a low voice. "Now are you going to eat that?" She asked him pointing to the blue jello.

John and Jennifer had come up to their father's old home. A bunch of people were walking around the property and taking with one another. "Are you okay?" John asked causing her to brush a tear away.

"Yeah," Jennifer said getting out of the car and a man handed over to him. "Its Kevin," she said causing him to nod.

"Hello brother," Kevin said looking over at John. "Jennifer," he said softly. "I didn't think you would make it," he said causing him to nod.

"Well I did," John said causing Kevin to place his hand in his pocket.

"Look we need to talk," Kevin said in a low voice. "About the will," he said softly. "If you guys are here for money," he said causing Jennifer to glare.

"How dare you talk to my brother like that?" Jennifer asked charging at him and John grabbed a hold of her arm.

"I am your brother to remember," Kevin said glaring over at him.

"You were never my brother," Jennifer said glaring over at him. "I am going to see daddy," she said walking away from them.

Kevin watched her walk away and then turned back to John. "She is still a spite fire," he said causing John to nod his head.

"I don't care about money," John said in a low voice. "You can have all of it," she said in a low voice. "I am just here for dad," he said walking away from him.

Jennifer was looking down at her father in the casket when John walked in the door. "Hey," he said coming over to her. "Sorry about Kevin," he said causing her to nod.

"I miss him," Jennifer said touching her dad's face.

"Yeah," John said nodding his head. "I do to," he said causing her to tear up. "Hey," he said holding her close to him.

"I never got to say goodbye," Jennifer said causing him to nod his head. They went inside the house and started looking through photos.

"Oh look at that," John said looking at one of the picture.

"Yeah," Jennifer said laughing. "He loved flying planes and building them," she said. "I loved it too," she said with a smile on her face.

"Remember when we went to the park," John said softly. "And you crash the plane into the water," he said causing her to laugh.

"I was so scared he was going to be mad at me," Jennifer said softly. "But he just picked me up and pretended that I was the plane," she said just as Kevin walked into the room.

"Hey," Kevin said in a low voice. "I wanted to apologize," he said softly. "Dad wouldn't want us to fight," he said causing both of them to nod.

"Come over here," Jennifer said softly. "We were looking at some pictures," she said causing Kevin to sit on the other side of Jennifer.

"Take a look at John on the potty," Kevin said causing both her and him to laugh.

"I was tired," John said causing them to laugh even harder. No matter how made they got they would always be there for another.
