John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
I'm assuming that you're joking when you don't know what Guinness is, lol. Yeah, someone asked him what his favourite drink was during the questions and by the end of the photo session he had quite a collection of Guinness
I've been trying to get to know my would be photo editor program thingie. I'm sorry, I have no idea how to make it into a thumbnail. *hope it turns out ~ hope it turns out*
It's called 'Sweets for my Sweet' (I seem to name nearly all my stories after songs...)
It's very fluffy, both literally and non... I got a bit carried away and had to rate it M... but that was to be on the safe side. It's not really that bad (or good, depending on your point of view... ) I hope you like it and that you're having a great day!!
Thanks Ruby, but i'll have to read it later when i've got time....
Ok guys. Grab a box of tissues. It has some angst and fluff as well. Just trust me.
Our Time: Chapter 13
Spoiler:
Spending time with Teyla and not wanting more of her isn’t easy for John to do and the thought of jumping in a cold pond was tempting at times. Secretly, it’s not easy for Teyla either, but her meditation remains to be her ally.
Even though the villagers are able to keep themselves busy every day, it is too lacking for both John and Teyla. They are use to occupying their time with exploring new worlds, fighting enemies and training new recruits. Being here is similar to doing paper work. It was unavoidable and boring, but if they had to choose between the two they’d choose being here.
John can see that Teyla is trying to fit in with the other woman, but he knows that it is not easy for her. She likes doing some of the womanly things, but it was feeling of servitude that bothered her. That’s when they agree to take turns when it came time to go on any hunting parties and when they sparred together they would keep it total professional.
John was about to go insane, he needed something to keep him busy and opportunity came when the men asked him to help build a house for Tomis and Teera. He is honest with them when he says he isn’t that great at building things, but they laugh and tell him that he will learn.
With everyone working hard, including some of the women, the house seems to go up fairly quickly. John picks up quickly on some of the constructing and manages to keep the damage to his hands, from the hammer, to a minimum.
John is on a latter by the far right side of the south wall and helping installing a window on the second floor. He has just finished securing the window when he hears Teyla shout up to him.
She is carrying a basket of food, “Are you ready to take a break and John me for lunch?”
“As soon as I’m done helping with this window and this other one,” he says as he point to an opening on the east wall of the house.
“Very well then,” she says in a flirtatious tone. “I’ll just have to wait for you then.”
John starts to descend down the latter and watches Teyla walk slowly around the corner. He could almost swear that she was swaying her hips more then she normally did.
He is about to move the latter to the next window and the young man, that is helping him inside the house, impatiently begins to put in the glass window in without him. In the next few seconds so many things happen.
The window slips out of the young man’s hands. “Look out below!!” he shouts.
John’s eyes instinctively go towards Teyla, who is just under that very window. He drops the latter and he can see her look up, but at that time the window is already upon her. John sees the glass shatter as the window crashes on her. She didn’t even have time to raise her arms to shield some of the blow.
“No! Teyla!” he screams in horror. His feet can’t carry him quick enough to her.
The villagers here the commotion and everyone stops what they are doing. One of the men runs to get Charise. John lifts the window off of her and sees that she is covered with blood and bleeding badly. He also notices that the broken glass had cut her carotid artery in her neck and is bleed profusely. He brags a cloth out of Teyla’s food basket and begins to apply pressure.
She looks at him with loving eyes, “I love you and I’m glad that we were able to have this time together.”
He tries to mask his fear with a smile, “I love you too and we’ll get you fixed up in no time.”
Charise arrives and John gives her a painful, helpless look. He feels Teyla’s body go limp. He fights to keep is emotions in check, but the tears from his eyes deceive him and he takes her in his arms holding her tight.
The young man that dropped the window by accident, runs out of the house and is about to apologize to John, but he stops when sees the terrible scene.
“Don’t leave me,” John whispers into her ear. “I can’t do this without you.”
Many of the people stood in silence, not knowing what to do. Others that have grown close to Teyla and John begin to sob.
John can still feel Teyla breathing, but it is becoming shallower after every breath. A range of emotions flow threw him, but soon he feels an unfamiliar calm come over him and the sounds around him fade away. A warms sensation begins to surge from him and the villagers look on as the see soft glow coming from John. They look in awe and begin to see Teyla’s wounds fade away.
“John?” Teyla’s voice softly speaks.
John pulls away from his tight hold on Teyla. He can see that she is no longer injured and gives her a weak, but very content smile.
She sees that his face is pale and he looks fatigued, Wha…”
She is about to ask, “What happened,” but she remembers. She reaches for her neck and doesn’t feel a wound.
“How is this possible? You have the ability to heal?” she says with a puzzled look.
“Apparently so,” he says with a slight smirk. He slowly closes and opens his eyes.
Before Teyla could say anything more a person speaks up from the crowd, “How… how is this possible? We saw her. She was dying.”
Teyla decides to answer. She can tell that John healing her took a lot of him, “There are some of his people that have a rare gene… a rare part of him that gives him special abilities. Where I come from, there were people called the Ancients and John has a gift that some of them possessed, but it has never been more then being able to turn on any of their technologies. He has never shown the gift of healing before.”
Teyla looks at John to confirm and he shakes his head.
“I haven’t done this before and I wouldn’t expect a repeat performance. I honestly don’t know how I was able to do it,” he says tiredly.
“I think I know,” announces a small voice from a girl in her mid-teens. “It’s because he loves you. Charise has told me before that love can do incredible things. I saw his face when he thought he had lost you. He was so saddened, but then something changed and as we all saw a soft glow come from him, I also saw a look of peace and enlightenment. Maybe his love for you brought this gift out.”
Satisfying smiles come across the villagers. They all agreed and Charise is very proud of the young girl. It is one of Teera’s younger sisters. Charise begins to shoo away the people to give John and Teyla room.
Charise points to two men, one of them being the young man that caused all of this“Come. Help carry John to my home. He needs his rest.”
“I am so sorry, John,” the young man starts. “I didn’t mean to…”
“I know you didn’t,” John interrupts. “Maybe next time you’ll be more patient.”
John gives him a wink and he smiles back at John. Once they get John settled into his bed the young man turns to Teyla.
“I’m glad that you are well, Teyla,” he says earnestly.
“I am fine and you need not to worry any more,” she replies kindly.
Teyla goes to John’s room and sits next to him. She smiles “You really need to stop getting yourself hurt and ending up in bed.” She pauses and sighs. “Speaking of which, I was thinking when I thought I was… you know. I think I have been foolish to make you wait. I could have died and we would never would have…”
“No, you were right,” he interrupts. “I’m the foolish one. I haven’t totally committed to you because of my own fears and insecurities. That’s not fair to you. I don’t want to make you wait any more.”
Teyla eyes widen, “You mean…”
John smiles, “Let’s let the kids have their day and then we can have ours.”
Teyla can’t help, but to throw her arms around him. He makes a small grunt.
“I love you and don’t ever want to lose you again,” John whispers in her ear.
“And I love you too,” she says softly back.
uh oh.... tissues! i can't wait to read it, but i haven't got the time now!

I'm assuming that you're joking when you don't know what Guinness is, lol. Yeah, someone asked him what his favourite drink was during the questions and by the end of the photo session he had quite a collection of Guinness

Ok guys. Grab a box of tissues. It has some angst and fluff as well. Just trust me.
