A/N: -Shivers- This is the LAASSSTT chapter –does a little happy dance- All that's left after this is the epilogue and the final author's note. Kudos go out to my reviewers: Niyanna, Anna Taure, Manic Tater, and Amaruk Wolfheart of the Wraith.
Chapter 16
The little Wraith dart returning to Atlantis was the easy part. After Carson hid Michael in his office, he let his friends out of the dart, and one by one they limped to the infirmary.
"Need. To… Call back others… From Alpha site…" Weir whispered, as Carson carried her to gurney.
"I will luv. As soon as we're ready," he replied. Weir nodded into his chest, not knowing that he spoke of himself and Michael.
I could help you, you know. Most of them must be heavy. A voice whispered into his head. Carson scowled.
Stay where you are, so once I have them all set up, we can get you somewhere safe. He retorted.
Do you think there is a safe place for the both of us? Really?
Carson weighted it silently. Yes, we will go to the Lady.
They stood at the six and final DHD. Carson had called the Alpha site to say that Atlantis was safe and they were to come soon. But before they could dial in he dialed out, and he and Michael left Atlantis. To mask their trail they gate-hopped through six different gates before they crossed over into the Lady's planet.
The Gate was on a low laying cliff near the dunes of a brackish smelling sea. Two figures came running up to them. It was the Lady and her Eighth Harem.
Carson and Michael spent three days, three whole days on the planet that had no name protected and served by the Lady, in peace. They walked along the beach, and they talked. They traded shy demure kisses that slowly but surely turned sultry.
It was the morning of the fourth day when the Lady told them that they had to choose. Weather they should stay here, and never leave the unnamed planet, or leave and never be able to return.
By the end of that day, Carson had left the unnamed planet, and Michael stayed. They vowed to each other that they would love again. With tearful goodbyes, Carson went home.
A/N2: Remember there is still the epilogue ;). As soon as I get five reviews will I put up the epilogue and final author's note.
