Chapter 6 – Morning sickness

A/N: Sorry it has taken so long I have been away and my holiday was recently cancelled cuz my dad was in hospital, everything will be back up and running asap!

John and Teyla returned home with a great weight lifted from their shoulders, they weren't going to lose their child to the Athosians and Teyla was still their leader.

"Thank you John"

"What for?"

"Doing all this for me"

"It's nothing baby" he walked over to her and wrapped an arm around her "Come on, let's go for a walk," they walked around the city and onto the balcony they had eaten at the night before getting married. "How are you feeling?"

"Not too bad today"

"That's good" he said kissing her temple, the sun began to set and he turned her to face him "I love you" he kissed her deeply and as they pulled apart she looked deeply into his eyes and replied

"I love you to" they kissed again and walked down into the commissary. After dinner they took another walk around the city, as they weren't ready to return to their room, they found a different balcony in a deserted section of the city and looked out over the city on one side and the ocean on the other.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Pretty good, I think it's getting better"

"Really? That's great" Teyla nodded in answer and they fell into a comfortable silence they stood there for quite sometime before John yawned

"I think you should go to bed" she turned them around and stopped "you remember what I said earlier?"

"That you were much better"

"Mmm"

"What about it?"

"My answer has changed" her voice was fading and she fainted

"Teyla!" he lifted her up and ran to the nearest transporter, not wanting to take the time to walk there. By the time he reached the infirmary it had been ten minutes and she still hadn't woken up.

"What's wrong laddie?" Asked Carson

"She just fainted, we were off in a deserted part of the city on a balcony and she was fine then all of a sudden she wasn't"

"All right put her on the bed" he said indicating to a free bed, John laid her down on the bed and a lot of nurses following Carson swarmed around her, pushing a worried John out of the way.

Ten minutes later Dr Beckett came out of the infirmary to talk to John

"What's Wrong? Is she Ok?"

"She's going to be fine, it's exhaustion, and you have to make sure she gets enough rest. When a woman is pregnant it takes a lot of getting used to so she needs a lot of rest and you should expect some morning sickness too, it's all part of the process."

"Ok, can I see her?"

"As long as you don't wake her up, she's fast asleep"

" 'Kay" John went and sat beside her, taking her hand in his, watching her sleep soundly. About ten minutes later she stirred

"John?"

"Yes Baby?"

"What happened?"

"You passed out on the balcony, you're in the infirmary, everything is all right"

"Ok" she sat up gently and lent against her pillows

"Do you feel any better?"

"A little I still feel sick though"

"Do you want to come back to the room?"

"Yes please" John went and got Carson who checked her over and allowed her to return to the room

Teyla slept soundly that night and after a good rest felt much better than she had the night before but not up to her normal self. At around 1 a.m. she woke up feeling sick, lying there to try and dispel the nausea, John rolled over in bed, rocking her enough to make her rush to the bathroom. John woke a few minutes later, hearing retching in the bathroom, he got up and knowing it was Teyla rushed to her side. He held back her hair and rubbed her back. She lent back and he helped her back to bed, then he went and flushed the toilet and got her a glass of water, walking back to the room, he saw her asleep and put the water beside her on the little table.

Later

Teyla woke feeling better and looking into John's eyes

"Feeling better?"

"Mmm, much thanks" he kissed her gently and sat up

"Do you feel like food yet?"

"No, maybe later"

"Okay," he kissed her gently "I'm gonna have a shower, just rest OK?"

"OK" she lay down and watched him go into their bathroom and soon fell asleep again. Teyla slept till well after 10 that day and when she awoke John was reading in their room with a piece of toast for her

"Toast?" he said holding up the plate, she nodded and he brought it over with some water, she ate a bit and took a sip before smiling

"Thank you"

"My pleasure," he kissed her forehead and picked up his book again "Finish your toast, you haven't eaten since last night" Teyla complied and when she had finished she got out of bed and went to the shower. She came out changed and sat on the arm of John's chair

"War and Peace?" she asked

"Yes, it really isn't as interesting as I thought it would be but it isn't too bad, it's something to read"

"Come on," she said holding out her hand to John he took it, marked his place in the book and followed her, she took him to the place they had been the night she fainted and they sat on a balcony looking out to the water "I thought our stay here was prematurely cut off so I thought we could come back today" He kissed her gently

"Good Idea, I'm glad you feel better, you gave me quite a scare last night"

"I'm sorry"

"I'm just glad you are all right"

"Dr. Beckett gave me some medication, I think he called it pre-natal medication, he said it should help a little" John kissed her gently and wrapped an arm around her waist and his other hand on her stomach, the pulled apart and her hand went to his. Their child, growing inside her.
