John stared back at him, trying to think of a response. His mind was blank.

“The realities must have diverged after you kissed her,” said the alternate Rodney after a few moments.

John clapped his hands together. “Great!” He said. “Can we talk about something else?”

“ I’m curious now,” said the alternate John thoughtfully. “You know we didn’t actually get together ‘til about a week later.”

“ What happened?” Asked Rodney.

John didn’t want to know. He really didn’t want to know what little trick of fate had happened in one reality but not in his.

But the alternate John looked all set to give the details.

“We were in the gym again,” said the alternate John. “I’d just got out of the infirmary and I went to find her.” He looked at John and shrugged. “I guess you didn’t.”

John frowned. “No, I did that,” he said. “I wanted to apologise. Which I did.”

The alternate John tilted his head to one side as he peered at John. “Yeah, so did I,” he said. “What happened next?”

John shrugged. “Teyla told me to forget about it,” he said. He remembered it well – it had been one of the most uncomfortable conversations of his life. And all he had wanted to do was kiss her again…

The alternate John gaped at him. “And you did?” He asked in disbelief.

John blinked. “You didn’t?” He asked.

The alternate John snorted. “Hell no! I just kissed her again.”

The two Rodneys chuckled and the alternate John looked at them, so they didn’t notice John’s look of utter shock, quickly followed by regret.

It hadn’t been a trick of fate. It had been him. The John Sheppard sitting next to him was in relationship with the girl of his dreams because he hadn’t been too scared to take a chance two years ago.

“And that’s where it diverged,” said the alternate Rodney.

“Fascinating,” said his counterpart.

John knew without asking the exact moment that the alternate John had taken the chance he never had. Teyla had told him to “give it no further thought”, and John’s memory had gone into overdrive.

All he had been able to think about was the kiss, even as he had said “good, I won’t…” He had looked at her and all he could do was remember the feel of her lips underneath his, of her body moulding against his as he had pinned her up against the wall.

Teyla had said “nice to have you back” and started to turn away, and at that moment all John had wanted to do was grab her arm, pull her back round and kiss her again. Every fibre in his body had been screaming at him to just do it, but he hadn’t. Even when she had turned back to him and said his name – which had made his breath catch in his throat – something had held him back.

His fear had held him back.

“Yeah, fascinating,” John said, sarcastically. There was a moment’s silence, in which John kept thinking back to that moment, and the fear that had stopped him from acting.

He shifted uncomfortably and spoke haltingly. “She… she didn’t try to beat you up?” He asked the alternate John.

The alternate John grinned. “I’m sure she thought about it,” he said. “But no.”

“And you’ve been together ever since?” Asked Rodney.

“You didn’t have any problems with the IOA?” Asked John.

The alternate John’s face darkened for a moment. “What do they have to do with it?” He asked defensively. “Teyla’s not military so we’re not breaking any rules.”

Alternate Rodney leant forward. “Woolsey looked into it for a while, but Elizabeth put a stop to it pretty quickly,” he told them. He and the alternate John exchanged a look that conveyed a silent message, and John got the feeling that his alternate self was being slightly flippant about the IOA’s reaction.

Rodney shrugged. “It wasn’t like they could do anything after they were married –”

John’s jaw dropped.

“Married!?” Rodney said disbelievingly.

The alternate John held up his left hand. John and Rodney stared at it, nonplussed, and the alternate John shook his head as if he’d suddenly realised something.

“I always forget I don’t wear my ring on missions,” he said, dropping his hand. He smiled ruefully. “Almost a year now.”

Rodney nudged John in the ribs. “Just think, if you had –”

John didn’t want to hear it. “Yeah, thanks Rodney,” he snapped.

John glanced at his alternate self and saw that he was looking back at him with an annoyingly understanding expression on his face.

“Come on, we don’t have long,” he said. “Let’s swap intel before we start doing that crazy out-of-faze thing.”

OK here is chapter one of Lost and Wounded

Spoiler:

"So, any idea what you might want to bring back to the city?" John asked Teyla, he knew that every now and again Teyla would find something, or make something on the mainland that she'd want to bring home to the City. John smiled as he spoke, making Teylas face go beet red.

"Well, perhaps so...." there came a creaking noise from thr back part of the jumper. Causing both of them to look back there.

"What was that?" John asked looking on the HUD only to see everything fuzzy, "Something worng, Teyla can you check the main conduit area and see if something burned out?" John started to have to struggle with the controls

Teyla nodded and got up from her seat nd went to the back part and start looking around to see wjhat happened. a few seconds later the bulkhead doors slammed shut, John turned around when Teyla banged on the door. "Teyla?" John hit the seal to open the door.... nothing happened, "Teyla? Can you hear me?"

Teyla got on her radio, the lights had gone out, "Yes John i can hear you, the door is sealed I cannot open it." Her voice sounded worried.

"I can't open it on this end either," there came a creak from the back part of the Jumper again, "Teyla, are you by chance opening the back hatch?"

Teyla didn't answer, she just stared at the slowly growing line of whiteness in the back part of the Jumper as the ramp slowly opened, they were about a hundred or so feet above the tree line and Teyla was then pulled by the rushing wind out of the Jumper as John tried to control both himself and the failing Jumper.

John tried frantic as ever to keep the Jumper steady, only he was just barely able to keep it on its heading, the open ramp hit a tree and made the jumper go into a nosedive, then it cartwheeled twice and came to a stop, thankfully throwing John free after the second cartwheel. The Jumper left a path of total destruction.

After getting pulled out of the Jumper Teyla first hit her back against a tree with a very sickening CRACK, the brach then snappen and she headed for the ground, landing with a very loud and very muddy splash unable to move because of the shock of hitting the tree, Teyla sank into the thin yet watery mud.

---------------------------------------------

Rodney looked at his watch, "They shoulda been here an hour ago what's taking them so long?" he had gone to the mainland to help set up a power planet from the thermal energey station far below the water of the planet. he had hoped to have the thing up and running for the Athosians on the mainland so they had power.

"It is quite possible that Teyla Emmagan and Col Sheppard were waylaid." Halling said, he didn't say what type of waylaid he meant but he had seen the way the two people he called his friends looked at the other.

"They're coming from the city not from another planet." Rodney said snarky sounding, then he saw what Halling meant, "Possible" was all he said in a very thoughtful sounding voice.

He and Halling had turned to go into a tent when they heard the sounds of a Jumper crashing, Rodney looked to Halling "did you hear that?" it was not just them that heard the sound the whole camp heard.

Halling shouted over to a fellow older looking man, "Keep everyone here, we will need weapons, and most likely dressings for wounds, hurry" Halling looked ot Rodney, who was setting his laptop on a stool and taking out his 9mm handgun and making sure it was loaded, he also made sure he had a second clip, Halling thought that Rodney was just being safe then sorry.

"Ready?" Rodney asked Halling who nodded when two other men appeared to help the pair find out what happened, "get some tourches too we need to see where we are going." Rodney was partly right as the evening hours were drawing near and sometimes the forset was so thick with trees that it got dark in the woods before the rest of the planet got dark.

----------------------------------------------

John slowly woke up, he was on his back, looking at the ever darkening sky, 'what the hell? What happened?' he wondered trying to move, only to have a shot of pain lace through him, 'OK John no moving you are hurt, how bad?' John felt himself over and found a good sized piece of tree sticking out of his leg and another piece of thorn sticking out of his ribcage, 'Hurt but alive, check, smashed up Jumper..... check.... Teyla?' John looked around, he did't see Teyla anywhere, "Teyla?!"

Teyla was missing..... and most likely badly hurt.

This is soooooo great Ruby!

Spoiler:

What a neat twist on the sliding doors theory for j/t. If he had only found the courage in that moment his life would be different. will we get to see teyla's reaction too???

Ok guys, here's chapter 8. Sorry it's a bit short, but I should have an epilogue/the blessed infirmary scene up later. I hope. Enjoy!

Spoiler:

Chapter 8

Sheppard poked his head out of the cave, looking for Ronon. He could see Rodney, crouching in the underbrush a few steps away, but where had the big man gone?

“Ronon!” he whispered loudly. “Ronon, where are you?”

“Right here,” a voice said from his elbow. John nearly jumped out of his skin. He had been right next to him! The man could go dang near invisible when he wanted to. Sheppard took a breath to calm his jangled nerves.

“I need your help with Teyla,” he said. “she passed out and I can't carry her with my shoulder yet.” With a final glance into the woods, Ronon wordlessly holstered his blaster and entered the cave. He emerged a moment later with Teyla in his arms. Man, she looked pale, Sheppard thought. They needed to get her back to Atlantis.

“McKay!” Sheppard said. The scientist got up and came over, his face showing concerned surprise at the sight of Teyla in the runner's arms.

“Good grief, what did you do to her?” McKay asked.

“What I had to,” Sheppard said, annoyed. Partly with himself. “Keep your eyes open, and be as quiet as possible. No talking unless absolutely necessary,” he said with a pointed look at McKay.

“What?” came the indignant reply. “Why do you always look at me?”

“What did I just say?” the colonel asked. Rodney rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, but said nothing.

“Good,” Sheppard said. “Now let's go.”

The trip to the gate was extremely quiet, without a hint of any living thing on the planet other than themselves. John was beginning to think that the other wraith had left, but with Teyla unconscious there was no way to tell. They were just about to enter the clearing where the stargate was when John heard the blast of a wraith stunner.
Ronon fell to the ground, somehow managing not to fall on top of Teyla, but hitting his head on a rock on the way down. John quickly fired a burst of P-90 rounds in to the drone that had fired the shot, the wraith falling with a satisfying thud. Before they could get their breath back, twig snapped behind McKay, and he whirled around, firing his pistol blindly until the pistol clicked on an empty clip.
Opening his eyes, the scientist looked into the surprised face of wraith with a bullet hole smack in the middle of its forehead. It toppled to the side, its dead face frozen in a permanent expression of shock

John looked at McKay, his face almost as surprised as the wraith's.

“Wow, nice shoot--” his words were cut off by a knife whizzing through the air and sinking deep into his thigh.
“Ah!” he shouted, grabbing at his leg. Suddenly the distinctive sound of Ronon's blaster rang out, and the offending wraith sank to the ground, dead. Sheppard and McKay's heads whipped around, only to see an extremely pale-looking Teyla half laying on the still body of Ronon, his blaster in her hand and aimed at the dead wraith.

“John!” she said, getting to her feet and swaying unsteadily. Rodney rushed over to grab her before she fell. “ “John are you alright?” she asked.

“Yeah,” he grunted. “I'll be fine. How's Ronon?” Ronon stirred at the sound of their voices,
then shot up into a sitting position, reaching for his empty holster. A little too quickly, he almost passed out again.

“Are all the wraith dead?” he asked. “Where's my gun?” he added a split second later.

“Yes, all the wraith are dead. And it's right there.” Sheppard said, indicating where Teyla had dropped the gun on the ground. “Teyla borrowed it.” he said with a smirk.

“Feel up to giving me a hand here?” he asked. “It's kinda hard to walk with a knife embedded in my leg.”

Ronon nodded, shoved his blaster in his holster and stood up. John draped his arm around the runner's shoulders and looked over at Rodney and Teyla. She seemed to be leaning on McKay a bit more than he would have liked, but he would just have to live with it the short distance to the gate, Sheppard thought. As they hobbled off to the stargate, he couldn't help but think how awful they all looked. He smiled. All of them. They may look terrible, but his team—no, his family—had been reunited. And they were going home. Together.

Great job! Epilogue soon?

Goodnight Linda.

For Mrs. B and Scifan. It's not much. I am fooling around with this story. Haven't proof read it. I know, I am not as good as some of you guys in here.

Spoiler:

A few weeks later.

With anticipation, John entered the offices of Beckett, Caldwell & Sumner for his meeting with Teyla. He was looking forward to seeing her in the person although he has spoken with her a few times over the telephone to discuss business matters. They never seem to discuss anything personal in nature even though, he had tried on more than one occasion to invite her for dinner on the pretense that they could discuss the detail of his father’s will in a more comfortable and relax atmosphere. Of course, she always politely declined his invitations. Their conversations were always about business. To say, he was looking forward to see her face to face was an understatement. She was becoming his obsession. He couldn’t stop thinking about her.


Her secretary showed John to the conference where he was to meet with Teyla. John couldn’t believe how nervous he felt. John heard voices outside the conference room door. Then the door opened, in walks William Sumner. John tried to hide his disappointment has he extended his hand to shake Sumner’s hand. He exchange pleasantries with Sumner and inquired why Teyla was not present at the meeting. Sumner advised him she would be joining them later.


Sumner started the meeting. The provisions of his father will were straight forward. Papers had to be file with Court. An estate had to be open. The main issue was his father’s company. A company he knew nothing about. John was contemplating these issues in his mind when she walked in.


John felt he was struck in the gut. He did not want to stare at her. He thought she is one of the most beautiful woman he had every laid his eyes on. Although she was wearing a jacket, the jacket was not button, so he could see outline of her breasts. His pulse started to race. She had her hair pulled back in a ponytail. He chided his self to concentrate at the business at hand. He acknowledged her presence. She smiled at him. The meeting lasted for half hour more as they discuss the company’s financial records.


William Sumner exited the conference room. John took a seat next to Teyla. He looked at her intently. He wanted to get to know this woman in the worse way. She haunts his dreams at nights. He thought about her all the time. His hands seem to move on it owned. He gently touched her cheeks. Teyla looked up from reviewing and gathering the papers on the conference room table. John could see the question in her eyes, as her body stiffen from his touch.

“Please have dinner with me. We need to talk.” John begged.

“About what?” she quietly asked.

“About us getting to know each other a little better” he responded with a boyish grin.

“John, you are a client of this firm. We can not… ah, I can not get involved with you.” she replied calmly as got up from out of her chair to put some distance between them.

“Is this company policy or your policy?

“Both.” She responded firmly.

“Rules are made to be broken when you want something or in this case someone bad enough.” He replied with a sheepish grin.

Teyla felt her cheeks colored with embarrassment. She stared at him with exasperation. She had been deflecting his invitations for dinner for the last few weeks. Yes she found him attractive, but the complication of being in any kind of romantic relationship with a client is a complication she did not need. She did not want to be part of any office gossip. A woman could get a reputation in the workplace that why she kept her personal life private. She had to work very hard to be judge by her intelligent and not her looks by her peers in the business.

John watched as various emotions played across her beautiful face.

“You know John” she started to reply but stopped when they heard the door of the conference room being opened.

Please let me know what you think.

Lunch is over. I have to go back to work. I will try and catch up later with the thread.

Bye guys!

Just caught up with this story!. Very creative idea Ruby!...

Spoiler:

I love how that one decision that John made at the end of conversion cost him the chance of being together and married to Teyla!!!. He sure as hell must be kicking himself right now! LOL!
