Note: Thanks for all the guest reviews and the encouragement! I appreciate them a lot!

A special thank you too Guest 64 and Dr. Zimmerman! You two are keeping me going on this story. :)

John paced back and forth in his room. Teyla watched him from his doorway. "Their all waiting for you."

"Maybe I'm not interested in going." John replied.

"John, this party is for you. Everyone will be attending.. Besides, Dr. Lam believes this will be a good stress reliever for everyone."

Sheppard turned to Teyla. "Then they can go and get 'unstressed' without me. Just thinking of going is making me stressed."

Teyla tilted her head, looking him over.

Sheppard continued. "Did you know they sent out memo's about the new 'O'Neill baby'?"

"I received it as well." Teyla admitted.

"Not just to the base and Atlantis no. Vala and McKay sent it out to everyone they knew.. People in area 51 got confused and sent bibs and sippy cups along with all sorts of toys and nerdy brain development stuff."

John motioned all around the room, at the boxes of items he was given.

There where teething rings, blocks, puzzles, children's learning books, and baby clothes.

Teyla caught eye of a 'Baby's First Brain Music' CD. It was the same one Rodney had given her for Torren.. She had an inkling McKay must have sent it to John as a joke but decided not too rat him out.

"And don't even get me started on the junk Vala's dad sent me to humour her. 'Celebrity Star Dust', tickets to something even I don't want to talk about and necklaces.. Seriously?!"

"Their all trying too make you feel welcome..." Teyla tried.

John sighed and shook his head, calming himself down for Teyla's sake. She didn't do anything to deserve being vented at. He motioned a hand to the boxes.
"Sorry.. Look you can have this stuff if Torren needs anything."

Teyla smiled. "Thank you John. Now... Is there any way I can convince you too come to the party? Dr. McKay, Vala and everyone else worked very hard on it for you."

"Only if you have any lemons.."

Teyla frowned and tilted her head as John started to walk out of his room. She followed. "Sorry?"

"So I can kill McKay when I get there.." He tilted his head to her. "You wouldn't happen to know if Vala is allergic to anything too?"

Teyla just smiled as they took a detour to the Alantis kitchens.
