Chapter 5 – A night of romance and the end of the month
The room was adorned with rose petals, or what looked like them, probably all the tea-light candles on base and a sweet smell was wafting in through the bathroom.
"Did you do all this John?"
"Guilty as charged"
"What?"
"Don't worry, I had Elizabeth do it for me when we were out"
"Come on" he led them into the bathroom to find more candles and petals with the bath filled with bubbles
"A bath miss Emmagen?"
"Yes please" she reached to undress but John wanted that honor so he kissed her before she had the chance to finish eliciting a moan from her, perfect, he thought, he began to slowly undress her and shower her body with kisses but he never got too close to anywhere sensitive because that was for later but Teyla seemed to have other ideas, returning his kisses she began to do almost anything she could to make him weaken. He managed to get them both into the bath without skipping the bath completely and he sat there washing her, leaving some of her more sensitive parts till later and she the same.
When they had been in the bath for quite some time John began to get bored, he didn't usually like baths although Teyla did he lad let her lie there for awhile, he washed her again this time going to her chest and washing her slightly more well endowed areas and paying special attention to anything that he knew would have her wanting him now. She began to moan and he got out of the bath, bringing her with him, drying her off and clearing out the bath before drying himself and leading her into the bedroom. They wasted no time getting to the bed and made love all through the night.
The next morning Teyla awoke to see John staring into her eyes, the smell of the bath was still on her body and he held her closer.
"Morning beautiful" she smiled and kidded him
"Thank you for last night" she said, he saw her ring glisten in the light and smiled
"Let's get married tonight, on the beach, at sunset, cliché but I don't care"
"What is a cliché?"
"Just something that is used a lot"
"That has never been done with my people"
"All right then, let's go talk to Elizabeth and then I'll get someone to fly you to the mainland to get ready"
"Ok" they got up, showered and changed before going off to Elizabeth to thank her and ask if they could get married tonight.
"That's a wonderful idea you two, of course you may"
"Thank you Dr. Weir" they both left, John to their quarters and Teyla to the mainland to get ready.
That afternoon
Everyone had gathered on the beach as John and Teyla took their vows that evening, Teyla wore her mother's wedding dress, a simple white dress and she had white flowers in her long dark hair. John and Aidan were wearing their dress uniforms as were everyone else military and the others wore suits or dresses, the Athosians all wore traditional clothing and they had a simple Athosian ceremony as per Teyla's request. They both had rings as per John's request and the ceremony finished almost as soon as it had finished. John barely noticed what was happening, all he saw was Teyla and the sunset. The ceremony finished and they flew off together in a 'jumper to a little area of land that had been found recently on the planet that was theirs for a week.
After the honeymoon that was spent almost solely in the bedroom and on the beach they returned home to Atlantis, Elizabeth welcomed them and left them to go and unpack. Once they had unpacked they went to go and see Dr. Beckett to get tests because they were almost half way through the month and Teyla had begun to get morning sickness. Dr. Beckett smiled when he saw them
"Hey love, how was the honeymoon?"
"Good thank you Carson" said Teyla
"Are you here for those tests?"
"Yes thanks," said John, he knew Teyla was scared of not being pregnant because she didn't want to lose her people
"Right, up on the bed then lass and we'll get started it's only a quick blood test" she sat on the bed and smiled uneasily. The test was indeed quick and they left soon after with a promise of a call as soon as the results were out.
1 week later
Teyla sat back on the same bed already knowing what she was about to be told but just getting him to tell her anyway. John stood beside her, holding her hand and Carson walked into the room.
"Well lass the tests are conclusive, you are most definitely pregnant, congratulations"
"Thank you doctor Beckett"
"Yeah thanks doc"
"No problem, now lass if you have any problem with morning sickness or any pain or anything, come back and see me"
"Thank you Doctor" she said getting off the bed and walking out of the room. When they got back to their room John kissed her deeply
"Wow, Teyla, we're having a baby" he grinned like a kid in a candy store
"Yes, we are, we should go and tell the council"
"We still have a week Teyla, don't worry about it now"
That week went all too quickly and all too soon they had to return to the mainland but this time with Dr Beckett and talk to the council. This time John went into the meeting with Teyla and Doctor Beckett who told them that she was most definitely pregnant
"Then there is no reason to banish Teyla at all," said Haling standing
"But there is still the issue of an non-Athosian man"
"What? I never knew that was a problem," said John "You let us get married"
"Yes but Teyla is the leader of our people and now you are joined you share that role"
"I will not be trying to contest Teyla's leadership, Teyla is your leader not me"
"Then it is settled"
"Not quite, there is a question of the child, the leader of the Athosians has to be raised here, by us," said an elder
"What about my culture?"
"I don't think so"
"Ok, I'll make you a deal, seeing as my child is going to be the next leader, we raise the child where we are but also in the Athosian way" There were many different opinions but there was a 51 agreement on John's idea, enough for them to keep the child until someone decided to change their mind.
A/N: I'm gonna take ideas on girl or boy or one of each, I'm leaning towards the twins but send in ideas plz!
