A/N Sorry it took so long to get this up I was not sure on how to end it. But here it is. THe Final Chapter :D I hope you like it and it this one is unbetaed so any mistakes are mine and mine alone.

Chapter 4

Atlantis had been back in the Pegasus galaxy for a month now. Things were back to normal. There were missions to go on, people to help and wraith to fight.

I can't hide the way I feel about you anymore

I can't hold the hurt inside,

Keep the pain out of my eyes anymore

Why did she hear music? The last thing Jennifer remembered was being on a mission with Major Lorne and his team. They were on their way back to the gate when it had activated. She remembered Lorne yelling to take cover, and then nothing.

She felt cold, sore and heavy. She wanted to grab for something to cover herself with, but she couldn't seem to move. She felt a warm gentle pressure on her hand. Who ever it was maybe they could help. She tried to squeeze her hand to let who ever it was know that she was there.

There was a voice but she couldn't grab hold of it. It started to fade away back to black.

--------------------

Ronon had been surprised when she squeezed his hand, but almost immediately he recovered.

"I felt that Jennifer. Do it again come on. I know you are strong enough to recover from this. You are stronger than you know, but I know you are just believe it."

Ronon continued to quietly encourage her as the music played. He kept his hand in hers hoping that the music he had playing would help her now like it had so many months ago on Earth.

You're not alone, together we stand

I'll be by your side, you know I'll take you hand

When it gets cold and it feels like the end

There's no place to go, you know I wont give in

No I wont give in

She wanted to talk to him, she wanted to tell him he was wrong. She struggled to swim to the surface of the inky black that surrounded her. She tried to speak to him but got nothing more than a faint moan.

"Jennifer? Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand again if you can."

Jennifer could feel the darkness closing in again, but she fought against it. She squeezed his hand hoping to hold on to what something that might keep her from slipping away again.

"See there you go. Come on open your eyes."

---------

Jennifer felt lighter more aware of where she was. She was aware of pressure across her legs just below her knees, and the feel of something solid against her leg at her knee. She could feel the warmth of the hand that was still holding hers, but there was no voice talking to her now. There was only the steady electronic beat of a heart monitor, and the ever continuing music that still played.

Like a ship with no harbor like a bird with no wings

Like a fish out of water a dreamer without a dream

I have learned about losing I could lose most anything

Opening her eyes slowly she blinked away the pain as her eyes adjusted to the subdued lighting. The first thing she noticed was the person that was asleep in a chair using part of her bed as a pillow. Ronon had his left arm laying across her legs just below her knees, his head resting by her knee and his right hand holding her left hand.

She gently pulled her hand from his and brushed a stray tendril of hair from his forehead. She was surprised at how much different he looked while asleep. He looked so peaceful and younger. He stirred awake at her soft touch and their eyes met instantly.

"Hey" he said softly.

"Hey. How long was I…"

"About 2 days." He told her.

"That long? I didn't realize. I heard you at times where you here the whole time?" Jennifer couldn't imagine that he would sit there all that time she was sure he had better things to do.

"I was worried about you."

Jennifer was surprised by not only his answer but the look in his eyes when he said it. The emotion she saw swirling there was breathtaking. She told him that she was interested in someone else because he was always this strong intimidating person. She had feared that Ronon had lived his life fighting the wraith and losing everything to them had mad him hard, unable to be gentle. Suddenly she realized that she had been running from herself and not him. She had not listened to that little voice in her head that told her he was not that kind of person. She had seen him worried over team members and she knew that he would never do anything that would seriously hurt anyone on the base, and somehow she had let her own doubts turn her away from him. More than that she was afraid of loosing herself in him that he would become so much a part of world that she would just fade into the background.

"I'm sorry." She told him, and when he opened his mouth to speak she stopped him with a wave of her hand. "I am so sorry about what I said months ago. I was running from myself and in the process I hurt you, for that I am truly sorry. I am sure it doesn't mean much now, but I had to say it."

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

It's the one who wont be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying

That never learns to mend.

"What are you saying?" Ronon wanted to hear the words, he needed to know that she was saying what he believed she was.

"I am saying that I should never have pushed you away. I was scared of what could be. I thought that you would become so important to me that nothing else would matter, but truth is you are, and have been, important to me for a while now. I would love to be able to take back what I said then."

Ronon had heard enough. She was right he was hurt when she told him she was interested in someone else but through the months that followed how he felt for her had not changed. Sure he was angry at first and he had wanted to hurt her emotionally as much as she had hurt him. So he had gone out with Amelia a few times, but when the dates where over he felt like he had betrayed Jennifer. If she wanted to start over than that is exactly what he would do.

"Jennifer I would not deny you anything." Ronon told her scooting closer to the head of the bed.

"Lass you are awake. Ronon I told you to tell me when she woke up." Carson said as he came into the room interrupting the moment the two had been sharing.

"Yeah I was getting to that."

"How are ya feeling? Ya gave us all a bit of a worry. The Big Man here never left your side, and he made John show him how to get ya a bit o' music."

"Right now I feel great." Jennifer said locking eyes with Ronon.

Looking in your eyes

Seeing all I need

Everything you are is everything to me

These are the moments

I know heaven must exist

Carson looked at the two for a second before leaving without another word. He also made sure that they were left undisturbed. He knew that both of them had feelings for the other but for whatever reason they had not taken that last step. He was going to make sure that, for a few hours, the two could have sometime alone before the whole city found out.
