Each pair trapped together should have their own thread, so here’s a start.
Sheppard, Teyla and pregnancy: Comments on Quarantine.
Sheppard acting like Teyla is glass and needs to be looked after.
Sheppard’s right about the movies and Teyla looks big enough to go into labor right there.
(Horrible, horrible, horrible maternity outfit.)
Interesting ideas on pregnancy here:
Teyla wants to continue to go on missions, possibly putting her baby’s life in danger.
But wonders about keeping it up after the baby’s born, because she doesn’t want the baby to grow up without his mother.
Sheppard doesn’t want Teyla to go on missions while she is pregnant, she could be putting herself, the baby and the rest of the team in danger.
But expects her to go back to risking her life when the baby is a few months old.
(I liked the story about the cop with three kids that goes to work to protect them and everyone else.)
Please, please, please make this baby normal in every way (except the tiny bit of Wraith DNA like Teyla that we already know he must have). I want to see Teyla as a working mother. The baby can just stay in the background and mostly be unseen and give Teyla something to do). Normal aging process, please.
It was sweet that Sheppard told her the baby would always have a family on Atlantis. (Notice that he didn’t say with him or the team.) But telling her that did make her sniffle about the family that he might not have anymore.
It’s funny, and not so funny, that a pregnant belly and a kicking fetus are fair game for anyone in the vicinity. Touching a pregnant belly is not an intimate act, it is a public attraction. Sheppard feeling the baby kick was a touching moment, though. Nice to see him smile.
Teyla getting on the ledge was ridiculous. (A little common sense would be nice.) I think she intended to show Sheppard that she could still be a member of his team, but once she got on the ledge the implications of the current geometry of her body finally dawned on her. Maybe now we can move beyond the discussion of fitness for missions, but I doubt it.
