A/N Okay I was driving home a couple days ago and all of a sudden a plot bunny came running across the street and right into my car I got home and started this and finished it the next day, typed it up yesterday and had it betaed today. It is really an excuse to have fluff I hope you enjoy it.
Epilog
Ronon and Jennifer had been together for a few months now, ever since Jennifer had been hurt while off world. Things between them were great. They talked, they laughed and they could sit together quietly and just enjoy each other's company. Teyla, John and even Rodney were happy for the two of them. All three could see how happy the two were together.
Of course, Ronon and Jennifer still had their fights. The two of them were too stubborn to not have their fights. They were usually short, and a lot of the time, the two could not even remember what had started it.
Over the last week, Ronon had been doing a lot of thinking. He thought about life on Sateda, his life as a Runner and his life since coming to Atlantis; both before and after he and Jennifer started their relationship. It had been last night, after Jennifer fell asleep, that he had come to a realization. As he watched her sleep, her deep even breathing and the feel of her body so close to his he; felt a peace he had forgotten he could feel. In that moment he knew what he had to do and one way or another he was sure that his life would never again be the same. Walking into the Infirmary and seeing her working, he knew he was doing the right thing.
"I am almost done, and then we can go." Jennifer said, knowing as soon as Ronon had stepped into her office.
Ronon walked to the side of her chair and waited while she turned off her laptop. When she was done she turned in her chair to look up at him, and he bent over to give her a kiss.
"Hello." Ronon said.
"Hello."
"You ready to go eat?" Ronon asked, holding out his hand to help Jennifer to her feet.
"Yup, let's go. I didn't get much lunch today so I am starving." Jennifer told him as they headed out of the Infirmary.
The two walked hand in hand through the halls both enjoying the closeness of the other.
"Hey, the mess hall isn't this way. Where are we going?" Jennifer asked.
"I thought we could have dinner in my quarters tonight."
"Oh you did, did you?" Jennifer said with a smirk.
When they got to his quarters, Ronon waved his hand over the door sensor. Once the door began to slide open, he looked over at Jennifer, waiting for her reaction. He smiled when he saw her eyes go big and heard the small gasp she let out as she saw the transformation his quarters had undergone.
As they walked in, Jennifer noticed it looked like Ronon had turned his quarters into a forest glade. There were potted trees all around the walls; so many that you could barely see the wall behind them. The branches were across the ceiling, and wrapped around all of these he had rope lights. There was a large vase full of flowers that Jennifer was sure she had never seen on the table that was at the foot of his bed. Every inch of the floor was covered in petals. Jennifer had no idea how he had done all of this. He must have been working all day on this.
"Ronon how did you…when did you?" Jennifer stumbled as she made a slow circle in place looking again at the room.
"I just wanted to do something special. Do you like it?" Ronon asked.
"Like it? Ronon, it is a paradise in here, I love it. It is the great outdoors without the bugs." Jennifer said, swinging herself into Ronon's arms.
Ronon quickly reacted and held her to him, carrying her to the bed where he sat her down with her back against the headboard. He kissed her forehead and walked around to the other side of the bed where he laid down and crossed his leg to face her. Reaching behind him to his nightstand, he grabbed a tray that was laden with a variety of small pieces of fruit.
"When did you plan all of this?"
"I thought about it last night."
"Last night? You have been busy all day then. Who helped?"
"No one. I wanted to do all of this alone. All I did was get Sheppard to take me to the mainland and asked to borrow the potted stuff from the scientist. Now eat." Ronon said, holding a piece of fruit to her mouth.
Jennifer closed her eyes as she bite into the fruit Ronon had placed in her mouth. She softly hummed as she let the sweet tangy taste of the unknown purple fruit dance across her tongue. Once she swallowed the bite in her mouth and opened her eyes, Ronon was ready with another piece of fruit. The pattern continued this way until Jennifer was full and the tray was empty.
"I didn't see you have any; aren't you hungry?" Jennifer wondered.
"I ate before I came to get you." Ronon told her, turning and putting the tray back on his nightstand. He then sat with his back on the headboard with his legs in front of him and wrapped his arm around Jennifer. She scooted closer to him and put her head on his shoulder.
"Not that I am complaining, but what brought all of this on?"
"I know I don't say it often, but I wanted to make sure you know how much I care, how much I love you." Ronon said, placing a kiss on the top of her head.
"Of course I know how you feel about me. I still don't know how I got so lucky to have you." She told him, placing a kiss on his chest.
Ronon had been a Runner for 7 years, he was a trained warrior, he fought even while in pain, and yet he couldn't seem to get the courage up to tell this amazing woman how he felt about her.
"I am lucky, but I still don't know how to tell you everything I want to say." Ronon told her, taking the arm not around Jennifer and grabbing the small remote that was resting on his nightstand.
"Ronon, you show me all the time. I told you I know how you feel." Jennifer said, looking up at Ronon.
"Today though, I don't think it is enough." he told her, bending his head to kiss her softly. As he pulled away from her, he pushed the button on the remote.
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
Ronon had known that the song would say exactly what he wanted to tell her. He had heard the song a little over a week ago while going through her play lists hoping to find songs that could help him tell her how he felt. He had never imagined finding one that fit so perfectly. He watched her face as the song finished and he knew that she understood.
"That is what I wanted to tell you, that and so much more. Jennifer, I love you. I love waking up and having you beside me. The nights when we are not together I don't sleep well. I wake up, you are not beside me, and I count the minutes until I see you again. I never thought I would ever feel this way after Sateda. I don't know Earth customs on this, but I want to be bonded, married to you, if you want me."
Jennifer threw her arms around Ronon's neck and hugged him all the while raining kisses on his face and neck before kissing him hard on the mouth.
"Yes!…Yes!…Yes! I would love to marry you! Earth customs, Satedan customs or both. I love you Ronon." Jennifer said, once they pulled apart to get some much-needed air.
Ronon laughed as he held Jennifer closer to him pulling her on his lap. It seemed that his life was perfect.
