Malin remains in front of Teyla. He barely turns his to her and softly speaks, "I'm sorry Teyla. I had no choice."
Teyla eyes narrow in confusion, "What have you done, Malin?"
Michael walks in further into the home and begins to gloat; "He had no choice, but to lure you here. Although, I am disappointed that Colonel Sheppard and the rest of your team is not here. You see Teyla, Malin was only protecting the children of his village. What humans will do to protect their children." He motions Malin to go away and looks at Teyla's enlarged stomach. "I see things have changed since I last saw you."
Teyla stares at him angrily, "What do you want Michael? Why have you brought me here?"
Michael was about to speak, but Malin interrupts, "This was not I agreed to. I did not know she was with child. Please. I beg you. Let her go." Michael's face shows his disappointment. He motions one of his creatures in and orders it to kill him.
Teyla can only watch in horror as she screams, "NO!!" Michael aims a stunner at Teyla and all goes dark.
Awhile later, Teyla slowly wakes up. She is lying on a bed. She begins to see familiar faces and one in particularly. Joy fills her heart for the first time, "Halling. It is so good to she your face." She scans the room. "All of your faces." She groans in pain as she tries to get up and Halling extends his hand to help her.
Halling smiles at her, "I see that you are with child. May I assume that you and Colonel…."
Teyla interrupts him, "It is complicated. I will explain to you later." She looks around the room. "How did you all get here? Are we underground?"
Halling nods yes and he also says that he's not sure how they got there, but that most of them had not been mistreated. Teyla and Halling were about ready to continue their conversation when the door opens. Michael comes in and takes Teyla out and locks the door behind them. He escorts her to another room. It was dark and windowless. It only had one light hanging from the ceiling and a small bed and a chair.
Fear crosses Teyla's face, "Why are you doing this Michael? Please let my people go." She tries to plead with him, but he remains silent and closes the door. She lays on the bed and cries. Her exhaustion overcomes her and she soon falls asleep.
Teyla wakes up and her bed is soaking wet. She realizes that she is in labor and her stomach starts to harden during her contraction. She begins to call out for Michael's help. He finally comes and sees that she is in pain.
"Please Michael. Please let me be with my people. There are women who can help me deliver my baby," she begs him.
Reluctantly he submits and carries her to area the houses her people. After twelve hours of labor, Teyla finally has a baby boy. They are all overjoyed for the birth of their leader's first child, but there joy is shortened when Michael returns.
A tired Teyla asks to speak to him alone. He agrees. An Athosian woman takes the baby and leaves them alone to talk. "Michael. I will make agree to do anything for you if you let my people and my child go back to Atlantis unharmed," asks Teyla. She can see the longing in his eyes.
"You would sacrifice yourself to free your people and your baby?" he questions. Teyla lowers her head and nods. "What about your child? You are willing to send it to its death instead of keeping here and take care of it?
In a low voice Teyla responds, "The people of Atlantis have means to nourish their young without having the mother involved. I trust that my child will be properly looked after." Michael tells her that he will consider it and leaves.
Teyla calls Halling over. She tells him the complicated story about her, John and the baby. She also tells him that if they are released that he is the new leader and assures him that he will be a fine. Halling is about ready to debate her offer to Michael, but she stops him. They touch foreheads and Halling nods to her in respect. He helps her to a bed and jesters to have the woman bring Teyla's son over. Teyla smiles at the infant, "Hello, Tagan Jonathan Sheppard. You behave for your father. Ok?" She nestles him next to her in the bed and they both go to sleep.
