Chapter 2
Kannan watch as Teyla walked or more of jogged down the corridor towards the infirmary.
"How can she do this to me i am Torren father and i should be her priority" Kannan thought to himself and gave the door a hardy kick.
He almost wished Michael had succeeded in killing John Sheppard.
--
Teyla rushed down the hall towards the infirmary worry eating in her insides. She had heard a slight worry in Ronon's tone when he had radioed her. Teyla slowed down
outside of the infirmary door and steadied her breathing she did not wish to be seen like this by Ronon. She entered the infimary to see Ronon sprawled out on the
chair playing with his knife.
"Ronon how is he?" Teyla asked as she stood in front of the big man.
"Doc's says he's out of surgery i wanted to wait for you before i went in" Ronon grunted.
Teyla nodded her head and briskly walked over to Dr. Keller.
"Jennifer how is John?" She asked as she moved from foot to foot trying to stop the images from the nightmare returning to her of John's dieing body.
"This way Teyla" Dr. Keller said looking a little grave.
Ronon was right behind them following to the two women to the ICU. His anger was starting show to Teyla as he twisted the knife in his hands looking angry.
Teyla entered the infirmary and almost wanted to step back out afraid of what she might see of John. She find a sight that was tear brining towards her eyes. John
was a pale as the white sheets around him. The only part that she recognized was his black sticky hair. She stepped back into Ronon's chest as she looked at John's
prone figure. His chest was bare and both his shoulders were held in place by a shoulder immonilzer. His chest and ribs were bruisded from the kicks that he had
received from the Hybrids. His leg it raised slightly under the blanket and hit looked swollen with the bandages from outside of his leg. John had a dark bruise across
his cheek and there were dark stitches covered his forehead from getting hit several times by Michael. She saw one of his wrists were wrapped and the other had the
handcuff marks on his wrist. His cheeks were flushed and it looked like he had a fever as he moved restlessly in the bed. Teyla could not stand it anymore she quickly
walked to his beside. She made a slient promise to him. She would not let him get hurt because of her and she would take care of him.
"He is quite the fighter" Dr. Keller murmured from next to them.
"I thought we may have lost him during the surgery the broken ribs cause pretty bad internal bleeding he's still not out of the woods" Jennifer said as all three of them
looked down at the Col.
Dr. Keller walked out of the infirmary she looked very sad. "How could she be a doctor when she could hardly help her patience ?" she thought to herself as she led the way.
Teyla gently took John's sweaty hand in her and felt a large tear flow down her face and it made a loud plop as it hit the table. She felt more and more fall as she
dropped her head in her hands as she cried.
"John you will be okay" Teyla whispered as she gently pushed her fingers against his forehead.
"I am sorry" she whispered as she dropped his hand and quickly exited the room leaving Ronon alone.
"Sheppard i'll be right back" he said to his prone team leader.
He found Teyla sitting in the waiting room her hand buried in her knees. He had never seen her this emotional before as she wept in her lap. Ronon reached out his hand to
grasp Teyla's.
"Teyla its okay, its not your fault" Ronon said quietly as he reached out towards her.
Teyla pushed him away hard and looked up at him.
"It is my fault i allowed this to happen to John because of my child and the man i helped a long time ago" screamed at Ronon as she felt the guilt she had been trying
to hold in explode out of her chest.
Ronon wrapped his arm around Teyla's shoulder as she sobbed slightly into his shoulder. Ronon did not know how long they had been like that with him holding her. She
recomposed herself and wiped the tears away.
"I would like to go and check on John" she whispered and she left Ronon and walked back to John's bed and gently took his hand.
She was careful to avoid the starch white bandages around his wrist's and rubbed over his fingers. John shivered in his sleep and mumbled incoherently, as he tried to move
in his sleep. But his shoulder immobilizers prevented him from being able to move as well as his knee. His expression was pained and he kept trying to move as though he
was trying to get away from something.
"John you must get better" she whispered and felt tears run down. Teyla gently patted his hair trying to fix it and would of laughed normal out how poofy it was.
She began to sing a lullaby that her mother use to sing to her when she was younger, it was a tale of young warriors and their triumphs, to calm him in his sleep. He
relaxed slightly in to the bed as Teyla's lullaby found its way to his subconscious. But suddenleyhe started thrashing in the bed.
"Doctor Keller" she screamed as she tried to hold him down for he would not hurt himself.
--
John felt himself floating in darkness as he tried to figure out where he was. All her remembered was Michael in pain but know he felt nothing. He heard something coming
from above him, that sounding a lot like the lullaby that Teyla had to sung to him between the glass door. He wanted to find Teyla he had to see if she was okay.
He tried to open his eyes and suddenly he saw Michael trying to get him and Teyla. He felt someone grabbing his arms, he needed to fight for Teyla and Torren.
A voice interupted his worry and attempts to struggle against the grip.
"John it is me Teyla please we are save you must stay still" he heard Teyla crying and opened his eyes to see her. But Teyla's sweet voice was replaced with Michael's
wickedlaughter and Teyla's face was replaced with Michael before something grabbed both his arm and everything went black.
--
Dr. Keller and two other nurses rushed in as John tried to fight against Teyla's grip as he struggled and opened his fever filled eyes.
"Teyla, Torren don't hurt them" he groaned as he struggled
Teyla felt sick to her stomach, he thought that they were not save and he had to save them.
"John it is me Teyla please we are save you must stay still" she cried as she gripped his muscled chest with her hand's trying not to touch his shoulders.
The two nurses held her legs down as he struggled. Dr. Keller had rushed away to get some morphine to put John to sleep and stop him from hurting himself.
"T'lya" he cried as he looked at her.
"Yes" John, Teyla cried happily as he stopped struggling for a minute a nurse had quickly secured a restraint on his wrist and his chest.
"No" Teyla cried but it was to John began to panic like a panicked animal.
"Michael" he whispered as he began to struggled again tugging at the one restraint on his left wrist.
Dr. Keller rushed in with the morphine shot and stuck it into his I.V. and John began to relax in his sleep. Teyla gently rubbed his sweaty forehead as he stopped shaking.
The other nurse finsihed restraining his right hand, Teyla tried to ignore the black restrains, it did not feel right to see John tied down like this.
"Dr. Keller i believe that he has hurt his shoulder further" Teyla said as she looked at the torn shoulder immobilizer that lay loosely on his shoulder.
"Yes your right Teyla" Dr. Keller said and she gently fastened the shoulder immobilizer around his shoulder after re pulling it around his shoulder.
John did not even move which worried Teyla and she trubbed his arm as he shivered with fever.
"Don't worry Teyla he is just heavily sedated so he does not injured himself" Dr. Keller said trying to assure Teyla as she looked at Teyla's worried expression.
--
Teyla had been in the infimary most of her week and only returned to her quarters to care for Torren. John fever had risen and he seemed to be more and more restless but
would not wake from his slumber. Dr. Keller grew worried each day that she saw him grow steadily and steadier feverish. Teyla walked into the infirmary to notice an oxygen
mask securley fastened across his face. She read his book, War and Peace, that she had found in his room when she had gone in to look for something familiar of John's that
would make her feel better. Teyla was reading it and looked up for a second to notice pain- filled hazel eyes looking up at her. Teyla quickly grabbed his hand and shouted
for Dr. Keller and turned back to John. He looked slightly dazed and afraid he may panick again so she stroked his sweaty forehead, he moved towards he touch and relaxed
slightly into the bed. Dr. Keller was there within seconds of Teyla's call and rushed forwards towards the Col.
"Col. Sheppard can you tell me if you feel any pain? "Dr. Keller asked.
John opened his mouth and his voice came out muffled from underneath his oxygen mask.
"I'm good" was his whispered reply.
John had never seen those two words make the two women smiled so much.
"I'm going to get you some lunch for your I.V. Col. Sheppard it will be good for you" Dr. Keller said as she stepped from the room. TEyla gently pulled up the blanket to his
chest and looked down with a loving expression.
"Is Torren save?" he asked breathlessly as he looked up at her slightly confused by the way Teyla looked at him.
"Yes John" she whispered as she gently massaged his sweaty forehead.
John settled against his pillows and drifted off to sleep. Teyla kept rubbing his forehead as Dr. Keller walked in. Teyla held her finger to her lip to silence the comment of Dr.
Keller's lips as she was about to speak.
"I believe he is asleep" she whispered gently to Dr. Keller.
Dr. Keller nodded in understanding towards Teyla and quickly hooked the IV up.
"Teyla 10 more minutes and then I want you to go and sleep" Dr. Keller said gently looking at the dark shadows under her eyes and her tired features.
"Will he be okay?" Teyla asked looking down lovingly at John as she stroked his forehead.
"He is woken up, so that is a good sign, so its seems like he will be okay" Dr. Keller said and smiled at Teyla, she quickly fixed his oxygen mask and checked his vitals.
"Teyla i was serious you need to check on Torren, and vistit with Kannan" Dr. Keller said from her office door as she walked in.
Teyla nodded her head, know that she knew John was getting better, she became more and more tired. She clutched his hand and gave it one last squeeze before gently
leaning down and kissing his sweaty forehead. She walked from the room towards her quarter's to check on Torren and Kannan.
A dark shadow emerged from in front of his infimary bed and Kannan was reflected in the moonlight, he looked angry as he overlooked the sick man.
"I will not kill you yet John Sheppard, but Teyla and you will pay and Teyla will see that your are not so invincible" Kannan said angrily.
He stepped back to his shadow's and headed towards his and hers quarters.
Teyla entered her quarters and gently cradled Torren to her as she brushed his hair out of his face.
"Shhh...you are safe Torren" she whispered and a little hand reached up to her shoulder.
"Jon" was a little cry and Teyla knew he wanted to see John.
"Not tonight Torren, John is alright" Teyla whispered as she gently put him back in his cradle.
"Teyla?" Kannan asked as he entered.
"Yes i am just tired" Teyla said and she laid down in her bed.
Kannan watched her and picked up Torren.
"Soon you will be mine and only mine" he whispered as he held the baby in the moonlight.
