Chapter 3 – Solutions?

Teyla sighed. The negotiations had finished for now and all they had agreed on at the moment was to send Teyla back to the city and after one cycle of the moon come back with a definitive yes or no on the pregnancy. The villagers were still unsure on what to do even if she was pregnant because they thought she should have waited till after she was joined so she was going to talk to him about moving it forward. She was tired and ready to return home, she walked slowly towards the house where she was entertaining the village children and sat down wearily at the back of the room. He was going to be a wonderful father, she looked around at all the children who were entranced in his story. Jinto got up and walked over to her, he touched his forehead to hers and sat down beside her

"You are weary Teyla Emmagen"

"Yes Jinto but I am happy" he smiled and hugged her, she brought him into her lap and her became once again engrossed in the story.

While John was finishing the story he saw the exchange between Teyla and Jinto and thought what a wonderful mother she would make. He wanted to marry her as soon as he could. A few days ago he got a ring from one of the members of the community and he planned to give it to her that night. He finished the story and the children went home with a promise of another story when they came back. Teyla was talking to Jinto and his father when he came over and he put his arm around her waist and kissed her temple. When they finished talking they left, not breaking their embrace and John asked her about the negotiations

"So, what did they decide?"

"I wait for one cycle of the moon and return with Dr Beckett and he can tell them the results of the tests however some of them are convinced that I should have bonded and if I am with child I should be banished anyway"

"Then do you want to have the ceremony sooner?

"Is that possible?"

"Of course" He kissed her gently outside the jumper, he led them inside and they took off.
