Chapter 15 – A Morning to Remember

Something woke up John though what it was he didn't know. Looking towards his night stand for his radio John was surprised when he found it missing. Strange ... he always put his radio there.

John was drawn from his wondering when the person laying next to him shifted lightly in her sleep. Glancing down he saw the sleeping form of Teyla snuggled up to him. Her head rested gently on his chest, a hand on his stomach; legs tangled with his. John's arm was round her shoulders his hand resting lightly on the bare skin of Teyla's hip. John relaxed pulling her closer to him, he couldn't remember the last time he felt this happy.

Looking towards the clock he saw it was a little pass 0600, he didn't have to be on duty for another 2 hours.

For the first time in over a week John believed things where beginning to get better. The change in his and Teyla relationship could cause some problems; they were going to have a lot to talk about once this mess with Kolya was sorted.

Some people were going too look at their relationship as a disaster waiting to happen, they were going to question his judgement; his decisions.

Maybe it would be best if they kept it just between them. John had seen what happened to couples on the base, he'd seen it happen between Carson and Cadman.

People talked they always had and they always would. John couldn't remember a single day that he hadn't heard some sort of conversation along the lines of who as seeing who, this person is sleeping with that person, while she cheats on him with him (or even her).

The gossip mill on in the city was huge and completely out of control.

Maybe John was jumping the gun here. Could Teyla regret what had happened between them? OK it wasn't quite the way that John imagined it would happen, acting like a pair of horny teenagers in the middle of the corridor before ending up in his quarters for a night of wild passionate sex. He wasn't complaining but maybe things would have been better if they'd taken it a little slower.

John tucked a stray piece of hair gently behind Teyla ear as he watched her sleep. She truly was the most beautiful women John had known.

His hand which rested on her hip began to trace lazy circles on her soft skin, John noticing a small smile appear of her lips as Teyla continued to sleep.

If these were going to be his last few moments she spent in his arms John was going to enjoy every minute. Bring his hand up he traced alone the line of her jaw memorizing every single bit of detail. He ran his fingers carefully across her brow and down her noise; Teyla's skin was so soft under his touched her hair silky and smooth.

John noticed a change in her breathing knowing Teyla would soon be awake. The moment of truth was upon him, would see welcome this change in their relationship or would she believe it was all a mistake. John could only wait.

Teyla's eyes fluttered open and John watched as she took her time to get her bearings.

"Morning" John spoke softy a little worried that how Teyla may react. Her eyes lifted to meet his and John's breath caught in his throat at the beauty of the women beside him.

Teyla's hair was slightly flat of the side of her head which had been resting on his chest, her eyes still dazed with the signs of sleep.

John would give his life to spend the rest of his days waking up next to her.

A small smile appeared on Teyla's face, as she moved her hand from his stomach to lightly trace her fingers alone his jaw line. All John's worries disappeared in an instant.

"Morning" Teyla replied tilting her head till her lips lightly pressed against his in the chases of kisses, before she settle back down her head resting once again on John's chest.

"Sorry to wake you" Teyla heard John say as he continued to draw circles on her lower back; she saw the smirk on his face knowing that he was far from sorry.

Teyla couldn't believe how right it felt to wake up in John's arms, to see him smile and feel his lips on hers. This truly was the way Teyla wished she could wake up every morning.

Teyla could not remember the last time she felt so connected to a man, it was like John and herself were one, two people meant to be together.

But she was a member of his team and that could cause problems. Would she be able to go out and face the wraith knowing that at any minute the man she loved could be killed, would she be able to make the right decision if it was called for; could she trust her judgment?

Many question which they would have to address but not now, now she was just going to stay in his arms as long as possible, enjoying the feeling of security the feeling that she was where she belonged.

John's hand still remained tracing patterns on her heated skin a cheeky and mysterious smile dancing across his lips.

"You do not look that sorry." Teyla replied trying hard not to show her amusement

"Your right" John leaned down pressing a lingering kiss to her lips, Teyla felt her body heat shot up a few more degrees. "I'm not sorry at all."

Teyla felt a slight pressure on her shoulder as John gently pushed her gently on to her back, rolling himself till he rested on top. John smiled before capturing her lips in a soft but passionate kiss.

Neither knew how long they stayed that way, kissing in the soft light of the morning sun.

"I should be leaving soon," Teyla turned her head and squinted at the clock realising how late it was getting.

"There's no rush"

John slid his hands up over Teyla's hips and the curve of her waist until they reached her breasts. His fingers were spider web soft as they danced across her skin sending shivers throughout her whole body. Teyla arch her chest pushing herself closer to him, kissing him even harder.

Teyla could feel her breathing quicken at the feelings being caused by John feather soft touch. She ran her fingers alone his spine causing him to arch into her a low moan escaping his lips.

An explosion sounded in the distance as a tremor shook the walls of John quarters. Teyla and John stopped dead in their tracks all thoughts of continuing vanishing from their minds.

"What was that?" Teyla asked slightly worried. John could hear the panic in her voice and hoped that his didn't sound the same.

"I don't know."

John rolled off of Teyla and out of the bed, grabbing his boxers which had been left forgotten on the floor the night before. As he looked around for his radio he noticed Teyla move from the bed looking for her clothes.

He heard the sound of his door opening just before Teyla gasped grabbing the sheet from his bed and wrapping it around her naked body.

Ronan stood in John's door way and look of shock plastered across his face; obviously he hadn't expected John to have company. Reaching for his trousers quickly pulling them on before grabbing his shirt he suddenly noticed that Ronan wasn't alone.

Ronan held one of Kolya's men around his throat, and by the redness of the soldiers face Ronan was holding him a little too tight.

"What's going on?" John asked quickly pulling his T-shirt over his head, he watched as Teyla turned her back on the men while she pulled her own shirt on.

"Could ask you the same question!"

"Ronan" John growled

"Some kind of explosion." Ronan replied glancing over to Teyla who was just replacing her radio.

"And him?" John gestured to the Genii shoulder as he turned from the Satedan to retrieve his side arm, strapping it to his thigh.

"Caught him spying outside."

"On what?" Teyla asked the conversation suddenly grabbing her attention.

Ronan watched as two of his best friends stopped their rushing around both watching him, waiting anxiously for his answer.

"I'm guessing the two of you."

Before John had a chance to reply Elizabeth's voice sound over the radio. "Colonel Sheppard please report your position."

"What's going on Elizabeth?" he asked

"John, where have you been? You've been out of radio contact."

"Yeah well ..." John paused looking over to Teyla noticing the slightly blush rise to her cheeks. "Was a little preoccupied. Heard an exposition what's going on?"

"Not sure" Elizabeth voice sound strained "Looks like a bomb John, in one of the science labs."

"A bomb ... Kolya?"

"I don't know."

John saw out the corner of his eye Ronan thrown the Genii soldier up against the wall pulling his gun on the man. With his hand still firmly around the soldiers throat Ronan aimed his gun at his head.

"You know anything about this." the satedan growled.

"We've got at least 20 dead John, many more injured." She paused John could hear the hesitation in her voice. "The ZPM was targeted, we're lucky the whole city wasn't destroyed."

John didn't know what to do, 5 minutes ago he was in bed with Teyla now Elizabeth was telling he a bomb had exploded, people had been killed and injured; things were happening to quickly.

"John" He turned towards Teyla feeling her hand as it gently rested on his arms, a small smile graced her lips trying hard to reassure him.

"You think it was Kolya." Ronan spoke from where he held the Genii to the wall.

"One way to find out."

Ronan tightened his hand even more around the soldier throat, he started to struggle clawing at Ronan's hands trying desperately to release his grip.

"Ronan … he's not going to be able to tell us anything if he passes out!" John protested. Ronan reluctantly took notice releases his grip but only slightly.

"You want to tell us what's going on." John walked forward towards Ronan and his prisoner not expecting the man to answer. "What was the explosion?" still the Genii didn't speak. "What about why you were spying out side my room? … You going to answer my questions or am I going to have to get my friend here to tighten his grip again."

"Tell him." Ronan growled

"I'll tell you nothing!" He spat back at them

"Well then we're just have to do this the hard way." John spoke as he walked over to one of his cabinets pulling out a set of restrains, throwing them to the Satedan indicating for him to tie the Genii up. "Ronan you and me are going for Kolya."

"What about him?"

"Tie him up we'll leave him here, he might be willing to talk a little later."

Ronan pulled the Genii away from the wall turning him sharply before pushing him back hard. Yanking his arms up Ronan placed the restraints around the mans wrists a little rougher than he needed to.

"This wont work" the Genii spat "Commander Kolya will ..." but before he could finish a swift punch from Ronan knock him unconscious.

"Elizabeth what's the situation." John spoke into his radio.

"Not good John ... a whole section has been destroy, sensors and controls are down; many people are trapped ..." Elizabeth was cut short by the sound of another exposition.

"Elizabeth" John waited for her to reply but it never came. "Elizabeth" he shouted.

Teyla and Ronan stood by his side waiting, hoping that the Atlantis leader was alright. Their prayers were answered as a familiar voice sounded across the line.

"I'm ok John." her voice was strained her breathing rapid. "Control panels are exploding everywhere."

"Just hold on ... we'll be there as soon as we can."

"Hurry." and the line went dead.

"Elizabeth ... Elizabeth!" the line remained silent. "The radios are down." John told Ronan and Teyla as he turned to face them.

"Plan?"

"Teyla you head down towards the labs see if there's anything you can help with, we'll join you as soon as we can." All three of them left the room surveying the corridor. People were rushing around many in a state of shock and panic.

"Where are you going?" Teyla asked slightly confused that John and Ronan would not be going with her.

"We're going to get Kolya; I'll bet he had something to do with this." John growled anger running through his body.

Yes Kolya had something to do with this, John would bet his life on it.
