Present Day (February 16, 2009, The Viceroy):
"Good morning sunshine!" Evan says as Marie wakes. Evan's all stretched out with his arms beneath his head. "Want to order some breakfast in bed? They said their pancakes are really good."
"Sure." Marie replies, snuggling further beneath the blankets. Evan reaches over to grab the phone. "So what are you boys planning to do today? Our parties aren't until tonight."
"Not really sure." And then over the phone he says 'I'd like to order room service." And then looking through the breakfast menu he says "An order of buttermilk pancakes, The continental breakfast, eggs benedict, and two citron sparklers and two coffees." He pauses to listen. "Oh, it comes with the continental breakfast already? Okay, then just make it one. Thanks!" And then turning back to Marie he says "Maybe just walk around. Go to the casino…"
"This early in the morning?" Marie asks, getting up from the bed, naked as the day she was born. "I was thinking that we go walk around palm springs…" She says, bending down to grab their clothes which are scattered all over the room.
"Well, why don't you ladies do that," He continues, pulling her against him, her back to his front and nibbling on her shoulder. "And we just do our own thing."
"Fine…" Marie says, surrendering to his kisses, she lifts her arm behind her to pull Evan's head even closer. They fall to the floor as both their knees buckle.

Teyla wakes up when she hears a knock on the door. She finds Jamie standing there with her two sons flanking her. "Oh, Teyla, I'm so sorry, I woke you!"
"It's okay, really." Teyla tells her, smiling groggily. "Long night. Torren kept me up with all his stories. So what's up?"
"Oh, I thought that maybe the kids would like to go to the pool. It's such a nice day. You can hang out with the girls." Jamie tells her.
"But what about you?" Teyla asks.
"Oh you girls go on ahead, my boys can get into a lot of trouble." Jamie replied.
"Okay, let me just get him ready. He's been up since six anyway." Teyla says, leaving the door open for Jamie and her kids to enter. "Torren, baby, we need to get you dressed okay, you're gonna go with Aunt Jamie and her boys to the pool." She leads him to the bathroom to get him ready and on their way she gives him a set of rules. "do not talk to strangers. Don't wander off, you always have to be within Aunt Jamie's and nanny Gem's sights…"

"Wakey! Wakey!" Laura says as she lifts the corner of the blanket and sticks her head inside. "Come on sleepyhead! It's nine a.m.!" She tells Rodney.
"Ugh! Why won't you leave me alone!" Rodney moans, turning his back to her and burying his head on his pillow.
"Oh, come on! You're wasting the day away. We're about to order breakfast." Laura says scooting closer and whispering in his ear in a sing-song voice.
"Breakfast?" Rodney says, peeking out from under the covers.
"I knew that would get you up." She says with a satisfied smile, and then whipping the covers away from his body. Rodney yelps and Jennifer who just walked out of the bedroom suddenly lets out a loud snort at the sight of him. Ronon and John, who are already up, laugh at him.
Rodney sits up and yanks the sheet away from Laura, glaring at her. Laura just bats her eyelashes at him and smiles sweetly.
Jennifer steps out onto the patio, sliding the screen door shut. John, nudges at Ronon who's staring at her from over his shoulder. Ronon looks back at John. John then nods towards the menu that Ronon's holding. Ronon had forgotten that he was going to dictate to John the food that they're going to order.
When they were done ordering, Laura grabs the phone from John then dials front desk. "Could you connect me to Teyla Emmagan's Room? Thanks!" Laura says, John looks at her discreetly and then listens. "Hey Teyla, it's Laura. We just ordered room service. You wanna join us?" Then pausing. "Great. See you in a bit." She then looks over at John and smiles at him devilishly.

After Teyla has sent Torren off with Jamie she goes around the room picking up toys from the floor. The phone rings and she answers "Hello?"
"Hey Teyla, it's Laura. We just ordered room service. You wanna join us?" Laura says over the phone.
"Yes I am. Let me just take a shower. I will be there in maybe thirty minutes." Teyla answers.
"Great. See you in a bit." And then Laura hangs up.
Looking through her wardrobe, Teyla isn't sure what to wear. She's pretty sure that John is still there. She can actually hear Laura's smile over the phone. That girl is always up to something. She shakes her head and smiles and pulls out a dress.

Outside, Ronon comes up behind Jennifer quietly. "Morning." He says in almost a whisper.
Jennifer stiffens, and Ronon notices. She turns around just in time to see the pain in his eyes. "Morning, Ronon." She smiles. He smiles back, happy that she said his name. He walks forward and stands beside her.
"Sleep well?" They ask each other at the same time. Then they both smile.
Jennifer nods. "I always do after having a glass of good Zin." And then turning slightly to him, she asks "You?"
"A bit of a headache."
"Drank too much?" She asks.
"Actually, McKay was the one who drank too much." He answers.
"And did he not shut up last night?" She asked with amusement in her eyes.
"Nope. Kept talking about stars and stuff. I think I learned more about astronomy in three hours last night than I did back in highschool." Jennifer let out a giggle. He looks at her and smiles. He likes her laughter. It's not the kind of giggle you hear from airheads. It's the kind that's really pleasing to the ear. Like a mixture of a girlish giggle and a womanly chuckle.
Jennifer's face turns red when she looks up at him and finds him staring intently at her. She hears a knock on the door, so she and Ronon walk back inside through the glass sliders.
Rodney opens the door to reveal Teyla, who's already dressed in a beige sweater dress and brown boots and her hair in a bun. Rodney looks at the watch on his wrist and says "It's only nine forty-five, why are you dressed already?"
"Well good morning to you, too Rodney." Teyla says with a smile.
Walking through the door she sees John setting the table, still in sweats and a hoodie jacket, his feet bare. John turns to look at her, she blushes and turns away to look at Rodney.
She purses her lips to stop herself from smiling. Laura is behind Rodney, her arms over his shoulders, almost as if hugging him. Her beautiful red hair cascading down his shoulders and her arms. An exasperated look on his face. "McKay, you should just relax, you know." Rodney's face is a sight to look at. Pursed lips and fisted hands, standing there in a t-shirt and sweats, a fiery haired nymphet hanging all over him.
Teyla then spots Jennifer by the sliding doors. She smiles at the both of them and then sees something in Jennifer's eyes for just a moment. She brushes this off and then hugs the other woman. Ronon then pulls out chairs for all the women, but only pushes the chair Jennifer's sitting on back towards the table. He grabs the seat beside her, while John takes the one next to him. Laura pats the seat in between her and John for Rodney, giving him a come hither look. John shakes his head as he smiles at Laura's antics.
Pretty soon they're all digging in and jumping into a discussion like it's an everyday ritual for them. Discussing the upcoming events. Plans for the parties and things that they plan to do for the day. Teyla smiles when she sees Ronon discreetly placing buttered bread on Jennifer's plate. Jennifer is absently eating everything he's putting on her plate, distracted by the notebook that she's writing notes on.
To her left, Rodney is constantly picking on Laura's food, and she's actually letting him. Teyla elbows Jennifer and nods her head towards the pair. Jennifer understands what Teyla is trying to say. Apparently, Laura's teasing isn't just teasing. She's actually listening to his long and somewhat boring stories. Jennifer looks back at Teyla and smiles knowingly. Jennifer then reaches over to grab a pitcher of orange juice and pours everyone a glass. To her right, Ronon and John are sharing the sports page.
They all seem so comfortable with each other. From what Teyla had told her in the car, she already knows that she and John have been involved. But this morning, John had laughed at something Teyla had said. And teyla turned to look at him, a big smile on her face, for the first time since they all got together, he didn't turn away or wipe his smile off of his face.
They day is starting off really well.
TBC.
