After about half an hour, Jen popped through the curtain and smirked. I instantly jumped to sit up but John was far to sedate to move, I guess the shock took it out of him. "Sorry, Jen." She shook her head, "Don't be, although I think you'd have to apologize to a lot of women if they ever saw the sight of you two - there'd be many broken hearts." She joked and I blushed, scratching a hand over my head.

She stepped around the bed to John and gestured him to rollover, which he did. I moved onto the seat and carefully watched as Jen pressed at his stomach, looking for any tenderness which there was none.

"In my opinion, the pain wasn't anything to worry too much about. All the extra parts are just trying to squeeze in there and are causing some inflammation. It shouldn't be too bad from now on but at least we know how to treat it."

She looked softly over to John with a look of reassurance, "How far along is he Jen?" I asked, knowing that it was fairly important, "About eight weeks..." She looked over to me and then back at John with a more serious expression, "I don't suppose you've decided anything for definite have you?"

I stood up and took John's hand with a glint in my eye before looking over to her, "He's going through with it." I said simply and she let out a deep breath amongst a bright grin. She scooted around the bed to hug me after kissing John's cheek and squeaking out a 'congratulations'. I couldn't help but feel happy now.

She left after a few minutes of happy chit-chat, leaving John and I to bask a little. I took my position back on the bed, drawing circles on his hip bone. "I think we're going to be okay." He said with a small smile.

The morning after that night John was discharged but he didn't seem to want to leave my company much. After three days, I could sense Rodney was becoming a little annoyed. I tried to get John to talk to him but every time I did he went all quiet on me.

They were supposed to go on a mission today but Carter had given him some time to process what's going on. Major Lorne had kindly volunteered to escort the rest of the team to the planet on the schedule.

We were sat out on the balcony of John's quarters on the loungers, John in a large knitted cardigan that wrapped around his legs that were pulled up to his chest. I wouldn't have thought John would have owned such a feminine garment but it seemed to be quite valuable to him and when he wore it I couldn't help but look at him with such adoration.

The peace was disrupted by a furious Rodney, he stormed into the room all geared up and marched all the way over to John. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!? We were meant to be going on a mission but all of a sudden you've decided you don't want to go!" John sighed sadly so I piped up, "Rodney, Major Lorne is taking you, and you're still going on the mission." He spun on his heel to face me.

The glare he gave me just fueled my protectiveness, "What the hell are you doing here, Beckett?" I raised an eyebrow; he'd never been so rude to me before. His face turned to a panic, "Tell me he's not sick." He asked me, his voice about to crack. He turned back to Sheppard.

"I'm not sick Rodney." John said quietly, looking out at the ocean. "So what the hell is going on?" He asked more calmly, more scared than anything. "Rodney, go on your mission with Lorne and we'll talk when you get back, I promise." He looked like he was about to counter him but he surrendered and walked away.

Once Rodney had gone and John had relaxed again, he wandered back inside and lay on the bed. I followed him in moments later. I sat on the bed next to him and waited until he was ready to talk, he'd been like this for days apart from when we were out in public.

He turned over and pulled me down until I was lying over the top of him. He leaned up and dragged me into a kiss, pulling me close to him. "Carson." He murmured against my lips. We hadn't been close since we found out but at that moment he needed me. I needed him too.

I kissed him hard before easing off, swiping my tongue across his bottom lip until he let me in. He groaned when my teeth scraped across his lips and his back arched up. I smiled when I felt his hardness on my hip, I rocked up and his head dropped back as he moaned.

I slipped the cardigan off his shoulders, our lips staying connected as I did so. I unbuttoned his shirt and tugged it off as he did the same with mine. I kissed along his jaw and to the spot under is ear, making him moan under his breath. I moved down, placing soft kisses on his neck and chest and all the way down his abdomen.

It wasn't long before we were both naked and I had my hand wrapped around his length. He was writhing under my grip but I didn't want it to end like this.

I pulled the lube from the drawer beside the bed and prepared myself. Normally, I'd top but I think he needed me to trust him this time. I crawled over the top of him, still receiving hot wet kisses as I lowered myself onto him. I groaned at the heat but it was an amazing feeling.

He thrust up into me, managing to catch my prostate each time. The kisses got sloppier as the ecstasy grew. I could barely control myself but I managed to stroke him in time to come with me. "Carson, god I need you." He muttered out as I came on his stomach.

I tightened around him and forced him over the edge with me. I practically collapsed onto his chest and smiled when I felt him chuckle. I leaned up, pulling us apart but kissed him tenderly, letting him know just how I felt. He was much more than 'just a guy' to me. "You're beautiful, you know that?" I ducked my head as my cheeks turned pink, "Shurrup you!" I swatted him limply on his arm. He just looked at me, his eyes dark and meaningful, "I mean it…and thank you."

"Thank you for what?" I frowned slightly at him, taking my weight off him and putting it onto my forearms at either side of his torso. He gently stroked a hand across my face, "For being you. For being here." I kissed his chest gently, "I'll always be here for you, John. You should remember that from now on." He nodded quietly.

Okay, so originally when I wrote this, it was in two sections but they were super short so I've kind of meshed the two together.

Aren't they cute? I mean, I'm sure this is the kind of relationship that people dream of :)
