Chapter 36:
Elizabeth wasn't coping with reality as well as Jack was, while he was glad to be out of that artificial hell, Elizabeth found it to be a paradise, she was living her dreaming life, and now, it was taken from her!
She felt weak, weak for letting her body get taken control over, all because of her emotions and jealousy, she wants all this to end.
Meanwhile, John was released from the infirmary, while he was glad he was out of that place, he felt that maybe Elizabeth needs some help too, but the shrinks told him that it wasn't a good idea for him to be in eyeshot of Elizabeth, even mentioning him could set her off.
So, when he arrived at his chambers, Torren was asleep on his play mat, Teyla wasn't watching him, so he figured she was asleep herself, he scooped up his soon to be stepson, and places him gently in his crib, his next move was the bedroom, where he found Teyla she wasn't asleep at all, as a matter of fact, she was facing the window, something clutched in her hands…
"Teyla? What's wrong?" his protective instincts kicking in. She merely turned to face him, opening her hand to reveal a pregnancy test. "I am with child John.".
The silence in the room made her worry.
John, frozen on spot by the information, merely fainted. He fell backwards, a loud thud on the floor with his arms wide open, Teyla frowned, that wasn't what she was expecting to see, she had a different image in her head, but atleast he didn't panic.
Jack, was cuddled up with Sam, his face buried in her hair, he was just glad to be with the real Sam, no phonies, no copies, no nothing, the real deal, the real Sam, the real love of his life, his real soulmate. He groaned lightly as he took a whiff of her sent, boy was he turned on now! But he wants some sleep first.
During the morning run, Jack was pondering on why John seemed out of the ordinary, Ronon noticed at first too, but didn't push it, he had a good idea on why he was acting like this, so he took a chance.
"Something on your mind Sheppard?" The silence and the blush from the young Lieutenant Colonel was a good enough answer for him, Jack didn't want to guess, so he asked right away, "What's up with ye?".
"Teyla is pregnant!" John blurted out.
Ronon grabbed John and hugged him as tight as he could, Jack joined in, crushing both John and Ronon at the same time, well it wasn't Jack's fault he was like a UNSC Spartan!
(I got the idea from a comment.)
"Air!" it was Ronon who asked, not John, John didn't have the oxygen to talk, his face was already turning blue. Jack releases them from his death grip, after he apologises to them, they went back to the run.
Arriving at the mess hall, Sam caught Rodney flirting with Jennifer. She could only think of how those two seemed to get along pretty well. And she was glad that the creep will finally leave her alone.
Jack's arrival at the mess hall called on another surprise, as Rodney waved at him, Jack gave a sloppy salute in return, which made Sam wonder what she missed. She knew the two had a lot of time back on the Replicator vessels, but she didn't understand why they were acting like friends in front of her.
When he joined her, she rolled her eyes as she enjoyed her Jell-O. "So, how was it? Being inside of the matrix?". Jack only groaned, "It was HELL.".
She laughed.
