Epilogue
Change POV: Evan Lorne
I walked into the ballroom we found years ago looking out on the dance floor. I smiled upon seeing there in the middle the four couples that had become the legendary leaders of Atlantis.
Dancing to a slow song in each other's arms they are almost magical.
Everyone knows the story of General Sheppard who switched his citizenship to Canadian so he could be with Dr. McKay and had gone back to Earth to bring Dr. McKay back home to Atlantis. They are married now and have a small daughter name Marissa who they rescued from a culling of which she was the only survivor.
Beside them is Lt. Colonel Ford who also switched his citizenship years ago so he could still serve and be with his now husband Dr. Beckett.
Near them is Specialist Ronon Dex and his wife Teyla Emmagan-Dex. Both of them have always been close the only Pegasus natives to be on an SG team in the early years and on the flagship team at that. They have two boys who are older than Marissa. Merrick and Roan are very protective of Marissa just as their parents are of her fathers.
The final couple dancing out in the middle of the floor is the former Dr Elizabeth Weir and her husband Dr. Radek Zelenka. Their twin daughters Terra and Tanner are around the same age as Marissa and the three of them are the best of friends.
Everyone will always know the names of the eight people who raised Atlantis from the ocean and kept her alive all these years. They the rulers of the city the governor and her husband the second in command of the Atlantean science department, the Atlantean military commander and his husband the Commander of the Atlantean Science Department, the second in command of the Atlantean Military Contingent and his husband the Chief Atlantean Medical Officer, and the former runner and his wife the leaders of the Athosian mainland. The Pegasus Galaxy lives in peace these days thanks to the work of those that came to this galaxy all those years ago.
