Beta’d and greatly improved by the wonderful Goddess47 - this time with a whole added scene and many clarifications - she really is a Goddess!

This is it - the conclusion of the first part of my story. I’m sorry that

Everything is nicely wrapped up. You did a good job tying everything up to stop here.
Bonne chance avec la maison. Prend ton temp, je vais attendre pour la prochaine livre. La vie prend précédence. :)

[fenchurch1]

Oui, tu as raison - la vie devient de plus en plus compliquée, mais je vais essayer de survivre ce que me reste du trimestre et puis - hop - Maternity Leave! Et pour la maison... bah! On verra - il faut en trouver une et puis trouver quelqu'un pour acheter la notre!

It seemed like the right place to stop, so I'm glad it worked and Bk 2 can take them to Atlantis and events from Season one. Thank you for all your comments all the way through - it really helped! Merci!

I love this part. I can not wait until you start posting the next part.

Ford is so cute <3

John declining the handcuffs was so perfectly John.

[fenchurch1]

You know that 'does not compute' look John gets sometimes? The little frown and almost grin? That's what I see appearing on his face when Sumner holds the cuffs up! John hasn't even looked into the bag they issued him with for 'use' on Rodney! The next part WILL happen... just not quite yet! Thanks for all the support you've given me and the comments that kept me going!

[fenchurch1]

Thank you! And thanks for sticking with me!

Ah, tell me there's a book 2 in the works, you can't just leave it there!

[fenchurch1]

Yes - I promise there is a book 2! I've already written a few parts and I'm having fun just writing the bits I want to rather than having to put it all together and make it all fit!! I will get more done while waiting for the sproglet to make her appearance and then I'll start posting! Thanks for all your comments and for reading.

I like this so I'll just keep hand waving all the Stockholm Syndrome whispers.

[fenchurch1]

I'll bet Rodney has downloaded every bit of information about Stockholm Syndrome so he can diagnose himself! But I don't think he cares at the moment - who could resist falling for John? Hee hee!

Thanks for reading and for letting me know!
