As John got his wife to the Jumper she was in and out of wakefulness, the sooner he got her to home, the better. John couldn't help but think of how she could still be living after a fight like that. As he flew the jumper into the air he told his daughter, "Keep us level, I'm going to do what I can to keep your mother alive." He then went back to the back part of the jumper and begain to work as best he could.

Teyla felt someone near, even in the blackness of nither death nor life, not knowing what else to do she drifted in the blackness, Like a lost lamb alone in the thick woods, Teyla thought she heard a voice, but who's? Calling her name, the voice sounded familar. Turning to look she spotted a light in the blackness, and started moving towards it. The voice was that of her father. "Teyla, my daughter. You must hold on, you have one that loves you, you have a child of your own, you must stay with them." He said, the light fading.

Teyla tried to stay up with the fading light, "No" she said moving forwards, she was so close, but then the truth was, she was too far, or was she?

John's work paid off, as the Jumper sailed over the east coast of the USA he took back control and radioed down to the SGC, "This is Sheppard, we have injuries, might want to keep the Infirmary open. Get Beckett!" John was worried for his wife. Sometimes even a little bit of blood was OK, but still. Teyla had lost way too much to even be breathing.

"Infirmary is being readied, what happened back there?" Jack asked coming onto the radio, "we didn't get anything from you guys, and couldn't get an answer from the base, why?"

"It's a long story sir, but to make it simple, the Ori were waiting for us with a old friend of Teyla's. They're dead now, though Teyla also fought a Prior as well. The old guy though didn't make it" John said

"What do you mean? Prior guys hanging around on Earth already!" Jack asked.

"Like I said sir, long story." John said, "just have the infirmary ready!"

"Right." the radio went quiet.

Soon as John landed the medics took over, within minutes Teyla was in the Infirmary getting fixed up, John of course was dragged out of the room along with his daughter from Teyla, the pair of them though watched everything from the observation window. John paced as Kiro watched everything, both of them hoping Teyla would live though it.

"Do you think Mother will make it?" Kiro asked looking to John, as he stared right at the face of his wife. Seeing her father like this was not good, if her mother died again, would be too much, an Kiro knew it. "What if she were Ascend again?"

"That's not gonna happen." John said turning away from watching Teyla to look to his daughter, "Not if I can help it." He turned back to watching the medics work on the woman in the bed, She'd been through too much, John was amazed that she was still alive after it all.

Jack showed up, along with Weir and Rodney, "So, how'd it go?" Jack asked with something of a smirk on his face, He caught the look John threw at him, "That bad huh?" John nodded, "Thought so, Which is why I thought some news might cheer you up."

"What do you mean? Teyla's gonna live? You know this this soon?" John asked looking to Jack, then to Weir and Mckay, "Doctor, Mckay" John said seeing them, "tell me you have good news from home that we can get the superbowl live in the gateroom this year?"

"Sadly that is not the case, thought it is a good thought." Weir said, sitting in a chair, "You might want to know about your new ship General." She said, she smiled when she saw the look John threw her way, "I know everything, General O'Niell told me, so did the president."

"Put it on the six oclock news what's going on?" John asked seeming to for get his daughter was right there, only she was watching her mother, like her father was, "What's this news you think'll cheer me up?"

"Michael ring a bell?" Rodney asked.

"What about him? did he go on a crazy crusade again in Pegasus?" John asked.

"Sorta." Rodney said.

"Sorta?" John and Jack asked.

"It is not easy to explain, but the point is, Dear old Mike went back to the Wraith, and he took with him the information of our new ship, The Wraith's Bane. From what we got from both the Daedalus and Apllo, He's getting the Wraith ready for one hell of a war." Rodney said.

"Which is why we need to talk over your new ship and how to fit it in." Weir cut in, "We only have three ships, the Apllo, the Daedalus, and the Wraith's Bane."

"And three ships, means..." John prodded.

"That's bad for a dozen different reasons" Rodney said, "look Mike left us when he got the chance, and he gave the Wraith enough info not to just be let back in to the caste, but also get them to come here. To Earth."

"Like you say Rodney, that's bad for a dozen different reasons. So what do we do? Hide the planet?" John asked leaning on the rail to look towards Weir, Jack and Rodney, "And Elizabeth, call me Sheppard or John, just because i'm a general does not mean new formality around me."

"Well, first thing's first, you need to eat something, and Teyla wont be going anywhere." Jack said, "Yiou both look starved, so what say some food be made ey?" Jack then had to step out of the observation room as Beckett arrived, "any news Doc?"

"Aye, We have Teyla in stable condition, but there is still much work to be done, in the sense that Teyla had gone against a Prior of the Ori and won." Beckett said.

"Cut to the chase doc, when's Teyla gonna be outta here and back with me?" John asked, getting to the point.

"At the rate of work to be done she had bled more then what we have to repair. So, far as I can tell, possibly within the next seven hours she'll be back on her feet ready to fight." Carson said.

"You are sure?" John asked, he didn't want his wfie to die again, there was no way he'd like that to happen.

"Aye, fairly sure, after all she did Ascend, So far all we know she is healing herself." Carson said, "if you'll exsuce me I think i'd better get back to work."

"Yes thanks for the news." John called after him, he looked towards Weir and Rodney, "OK gang, soon as Teyla is on her feet, we take a full tour of my ship."

"That sounds good to me. Rodney?" Weir said looking towards Rodney, who was drawing on a pad of paper, making all sorts of notes in a really crazying langauge that not even John could understand, nor Kiro.

"Hmm? Oh right, soon as Teyla is on her feet and well enough for combat so to speak, I don't see why not." Rodney said almost walking into a doorframe he and his pad were going to be the death of Weir.
