Everybody Falls in Love!

[apple_pi]

Listen, flist, I'm going to tell you a secret:

I'm a big fat mushy sappy ROMANTIC.

There, I said it! So I think I should try the Everybody Falls in Love meme (as gacked from sunsetmog). Give me a pair (or a trio, or a foursome *eyes SGA*) and I will pick some and tell you how they fall in love

The first time Rodney met Teyla, he stared at her breasts.

I mean, seriously: who wouldn't stare at her breasts, they were gorgeous. Unfortunately, Teyla noticed. (Possibly everyone in the gateroom noticed, since he stared at her breasts, tripped over an open laptop case, nearly face-planted into a console, scrambled back to an upright position, turned bright red, and stammered when Sheppard introduced him a second later. Sheppard - that bastard - smirked.) Teyla did not smirk, but she did give him a cool once over, as clear a dismissal as he had ever received. (And that was saying something.)

Not long after that, Teyla demonstrated that she was totally kick-ass, and not long after that, she demonstrated that she was smart and socially skilled as well. Rodney didn't stare at her breasts anymore (at least, not openly), and she seemed to forgive him.

Rodney and Teyla became teammates, and then friends, and then close friends. She saved his life a few times, he saved her life a few times. They (with Sheppard and Ford, then Sheppard and Ronon) hung out and watched movies. She taught him how to take a punch, how to roll when he was knocked down (he was always being knocked down). He taught her how to use the computers, how to program an iPod, how to use contractions (okay, they were still working on that one).

He delivered her baby.

Wait, no:

He caught her baby. Barely.

It was... gross. Seriously, it was messy and there was blood, and slime, and things... leaking everywhere, and - ugh. Rodney was not cut out for that. But he didn't hyperventilate (much), and he didn't pass out (at all! he was proud) and he wrapped the baby up in his jacket and then - and then!

Teyla named the damn kid after Sheppard!

Well, fine, whatever. Considering that the odds that Sheppard would reproduce (what with the whole action-hero thing, and the whole making-like-bunnies-with-Ronon thing) were pretty low, Rodney could be forebearing. Teyla was just being nice, because John was going to totally let his (fabulous, damn him) genetic potential go to waste, so Teyla figured he needed something, obviously.
