I guess a few people didn't like chapter 10. That doesn't bother me though. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I respect people for being honest about their thoughts. There is a reason why Teyla is acting so strange but its in the near future.

Anyway, all the others who reviewed, you seemed to like it and I'm glad you did. Thanks to all who reviewed. I will try to make chapter 11 good. Please read and tell me what you think. Warning………Kavanaugh may be a little OOC in this chapter as well. I know the last chapter with him turned out fine but this one is a little different.

Teyla didn't know weather she should tell Dr. Heightmeyer about everything that was going through her head or just the nightmares that she had. She knew that Dr. Heightmeyer would help. She did the last time she went to talk to her. Millions of thoughts flooded her brain as she walked to Dr. Heightmeyer's office. She knew that she had to tell someone and she knew that Dr. Heightmeyer wasn't allowed to tell anyone about that they talk about.

Teyla hesitated for a minute when she reached Dr. Heightmeyer's door. Should I not tell John about my feelings first? I am sure he would understand. Does he not share the same feelings? She shook her head and turned around. She was about to walk away when the door behind her opened.

"Teyla." the voice called out behind her. It was Dr. Heightmeyer. Teyla slowly turned around.

"Dr. Heightmeyer." She said.

"Why don't you come on in." She said as she motioned for Teyla to follow her into her office. Dr. Heightmeyer sat down in one chair and Teyla sat in the chair that was facing her.

"So…..Dr. Beckett tells me that you haven't been acting like yourself lately." She said in a friendly voice.

"No……I have not." Teyla said in a friendly but sad tone. "There are many reasons why."

"Dr. Beckett also told me that you said something to Colonel Sheppard about having nightmares again." She said. Teyla didn't say anything……she just nodded. Dr. Herightmeyer crossed her legs and changed positions to get more comfortable. "Are they nightmares about the wraith like they were last time?" Teyla took a deep breath to get ready to tell Dr. Heightmeyer about how she was having nightmares about John being dead.

John was more than just a little pre-occupied as he made his way to the holding cell that Kavanaugh was placed in. Why was Teyla acting so strange? He knew that she was upset before because she thought he was going to die because of the artifact but why was she acting so strange now? There were so many questions that needed to be answered but he had to be patient. First thing he wanted to know was why Kavanaugh did what he did.

As he walked into the room that the holding cell was in, he actually felt a little nervous. He had been in much worse situations but he had never had one of his own people turn on him like Kavanaugh did for no reason at all……or at lease he thought.

"Hello Colonel Sheppard." Kavanaugh said in an angry tone when he saw John enter the room. John kept a calm and cool face as he walked up towards the edge of the cell. "Come to give me a lecture for what I did to you?"

"No." John said in a calm voice.

"Oh…you're going to interrogate me…..right?" He said in the same tone as before.

"I only have one question for you." John said.

"Oh yeah? And what's that?" Kavanaugh said.

"Why?" John said in a serious and slightly angry tone.

"I already told you……I'm sick of the way things are run around here." Kavanaugh said. "I though I made that perfectly clear the first time you asked me that question."

"Well, you're not gonna have to worry about that much longer because as soon as the daedalus leaves for Earth……you're gonna be on it." John said in a calm and satisfied tone. Seeing Kavanaugh leave after what happened was the most satisfying thing he could see. He didn't care what happened after he got to earth…..he was just glad that he was leaving.

John didn't feel like wasting his time with Kavanaugh any more. He turned around and walked towards the door.

"What really got me was the way Teyla reacted to the whole thing." Kavanaugh said in a cruel tone. John stopped dead in his tracks at that remark.

That son of a bitch. John was so mad he wanted to go over to him and beat the shit out of him but he knew that if he did, he would be just as bad as Kavanaugh. He had to hold his temper this time.

"Especially seeing her cry like that." Kavanaugh said.

"So what are the nightmares about if they aren't about the wraith?" Dr. Heightmeyer asked with a confused look on her face. What would she possibly have nightmares about besides the wraith? "Does this have anything to do with the artifact that Dr. McKay found?"

"It does." Teyla said in a relieved voice. She was glad that Dr. Heightmeyer had guessed what it was so she didn't have to find away to tell her.

"Why would you have nightmares about that?" Dr. Heightmeyer asked still confused about it.

"My nightmares were about what was happening to John." She said in a sad tone. "I could not do anything about it."

"Teyla, you were there and that's what counts." Dr. Heightmeyer said. She slid herself forward on her chair and leaned a little closer. "I'm sure he's thankful for that."

"I know." Teyla said with the same sad look.

"It's more than just the nightmares that are bothering you…….isn't it?" Dr. Heightmeyer asked knowing that it was something much more that was bothering her. She had nightmares in the past that were much worse and they didn't bother her nearly as bad.

"You did not see him in as much pain as I did." Teyla said. "I could not bear to see him like that and if you loved him as much as I do, you would……" Her voice trailed off as she realized what she had said. She closed her eyes and mentally scolded herself for the direction that she had unintentionally led the conversation into.

"I see." Dr. Heightmeyer said in a calm and even tone. Suddenly all the pieces fit together and she knew what was going on. Teyla had feelings for him and seeing him in pain bothered her more then she led people to believe.

"Teyla…..have you told Colonel Sheppard about these feelings?" She asked Teyla in the same tone of voice as before. Teyla just shook her head. Dr. Heightmeyer smirked slightly at her. "Maybe if you tell him about these feelings, you might feel better."

"I cannot tell him." Teyla said with a regretful look on her face.

"Are you afraid that if you tell him it will complicate things?" She asked. There was no answer out of Teyla's mouth which prompted Dr. Heightmeyer to continue. "I think you being the way you have been the past few days is complicating things more then if you actually told him how you feel."

Teyla ran her hand through her hand through her hair with confusion. "I believe that he will understand but I am afraid that his feelings may differ from my own."

"Well……there is only one way to find out." Dr. Heightmeyer said.

When Weir walked into the room where Kavanaugh's holding cell was, she couldn't believe her eyes. Just after she walked into the room, she saw Kavanaugh pinned up against the wall by John with a a gun pointed at his face.

"Colonel Sheppard…..what are you doing?" She said in a rather loud tone.

"What's the matter Colonel Sheppard? Did I strike a nerve with you?" Kavanaugh said in almost a whisper.

"You've crossed the line this time." John said with more hate in his voice then Weir had ever heard.

"Colonel Sheppard…" Weir said again to get his attention an hopefully get him to put the gun down.

"I'm done dealing with him…….He's gone too far this time." John said in the same tone of voice.

Weir couldn't think of anything else to tell him to get him to put the gun down. She didn't understand this sudden shift in mood. He seemed like he was in such a good mood before and now he was ready to shoot one of the expedition members. Regardless of what happened, Kavanaugh didn't deserve to be shot.

Suddenly the door opened. Teyla walked in the door and over to Weir. "Dr. Weir…..may I……" Her sentence trailed off and her gaze shifted from Weir to John who was still pointing a gun at Kavanaugh. "John?" She said in a soft voice that was too soft for John to hear.

"Speaking of the devil." Kavanaugh said. John didn't move a muscle to see what he was talking about.

Teyla took a deep breath and slowly started walking towards John.

"Come on…..shoot me." Kavanaugh said in a taunting voice. "You know you want to."

John held him tighter against the wall. "Don't tempt me Kavanaugh……..because I'm not afraid screwing up my career. I've already done it once so it wouldn't bother me one bit. You're looking at the end of your career and the beginning of a prison sentence."

"My career, amounted to almost nothing here anyway." Kavanaugh said in a resentful voice. "Prison might actually be a step up from this place."

"John." Teyla said as she put one hand on his shoulder. He turned hid head towards her after hearing her voice. "Do not do this John."

"Teyla…..what are you doing here?" John said still not taking his aim off Kavanaugh.

"John…..please." Teyla said. She out the other hand on top of the gun that was still aimed at Kavanaugh and began to slowly push it down. "You cannot do this."

With the gun now pointed down at the floor but Kavanaugh was still being pinned to the wall, John sighed in frustration and his grip on Kavanaugh slowly loosened up. Once John had completely let go of him, Kavanaugh just stayed there against the wall as Teyla walked with John out of the cell.

"Colonel……I need to have a word with you in my office." Weir said in a stern voice. John looked at Weir, then at Teyla, and then back at Weir. He nodded and followed Weir out the door with Teyla not too far behind.

After getting out of the room, John and Weir went one way and Teyla went another way.

XXXXXXXXXX

"What the hell was that about?" Weir said in a sharp tone purposely not holding back so John would know how angry she was. He didn't answer….he just glared at her. "I asked you a question Colonel."

"I had my reasons." John said without breaking his glare.

"You had your reasons?" Weir asked. "Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?"

"Look……you didn't hear what he said to me." John said in an irritated tone. Weir lifted an eyebrow in invitation for him to continue. "He did this all on purpose."

"I know that already." Weir said still unsatisfied with the answer she got.

"Not only was he trying to get to me…….but he was trying to get to Teyla as well." John said in the same irritated tone.

"Teyla?" She said quite puzzled about the statement. "Why would he want to get to Teyla?"

John got up from his seat and walked to the door. "Because he knew that I'd react to it." Weir was about to ask another question when John walked out of her office without so much as a glance back at her.

There you have it. Chapter 11. You got to see a little bit of Shep's temper. Little bit more emotional stuff from Teyla and her finally admitting that she has feelings for Shep. I think I'm going to have more Shep/Teyla (Sheyla) moments in the next chapter. I'm not sure. Not quite sure where I'm going with the rest of the story so it might be a while before I update again.

To be continued…..
