"One day I'm going to steal this one away from you," Cam is pointing at Sheppard, bottle of beer in hand, his arm slung around Teyla's shoulders.

John just smiles his quiet smile as he flips the burgers on the grill. "Yeah you keep thinking that."

Cam is talking to Teyla when he says, "When you make detective, you come on over to Homicide."

She laughs as she moves away from him and grabs a plate for John. "Thank you, however, we are a team and shall remain that way."

Rodney starts to grumble about how he's "starving" and tells John to hurry it up, while Amelia and Laura call her over to the pool.

They leave separately but end up together at John's apartment. "You know," John says. "You should take Cam up on his offer, after the undercover job."

She feels hurt. "You really believe that to be the best decision?"

"I don't want you to. You're great at your job, one of the best we have." He grabs her waist and pulls her close. "It would be like trading a star player for a mediocre one."

"Then why should I transfer?"

"Come on, Teyla. I know that's what you want." He kisses her, then. "Besides, once you're off my team I'm technically no longer your boss."

She wraps her arms around his waist and looks up at him. "I think I could get used to that."

"Good." He sighs. "I can't wait until the undercover case is closed."

"I have not left yet," she reminds him.

"Doesn't matter, it's already been too long."
