In the utter darkness of the night, Jennifer woke abruptly. It took her a moment to get her bearings but when she felt the warmth of Ronon’s body and arms holding her, the day’s events came back to her. She looked at the shadowed body lying underneath her and once her eyes adjusted to the dark, Jennifer was able to see the details of his face.

Jennifer knew that he was a warrior, a solder, and once a runner who had killed many times before, all she could see in that instant was a little boy. She wondered about him, who he really was. What was he like as a child? What had his life been like growing up? What plans for his life had he had before the Wraith attacked his planet? Jennifer pushed the questions away from her mind and brought herself away from thoughts of how ended up half naked lying in Ronon’s bed after he had hurt her.

The morning after she had taken him into her bed, Jennifer had woken up alone. She had been disappointed but not completely surprised. She had just assumed he had decided to leave before she and the rest of Atlantis woke up, to be discreet. She still had an hour until she was on duty again so she had taken a shower, and went in search of food and possibly Ronon. However, all she found was a very agitated Dr. Rodney McKay. And that was when Jennifer discovered that he was aggravated because the rest of his team had abandoned him.

Rodney told her that Sheppard and Ronon had left during the night, while the gate room had the lightest crew manning it. Sheppard had convinced Chuck that they were under orders from Colonel Carter and quickly left in a jumper through the gate. By the time that Carter became aware of it and sent through Major Lorne and his team, there was no sign of Sheppard and Ronon.

Jennifer had abruptly stood and left the cafeteria, abandoned her food and hurried to Ronon’s quarters. Somewhere she knew that McKay was telling the truth but she needed to see it for herself. She waved her hand over the crystal panel and the door slid open. While everything looked like she figured it always did, Jennifer could feel the air of desertion in the room. Ronon had left Atlantis. He had come to her room, slept with her and then left without even a good bye. She knew that the two had gone after Teyla but the fact that he had not told her hurt.

The hours turned to days and days to weeks and everyone at the base were wondering if the two were ever going to return. Lorne’s team took over as the lead team in exploring the Pegasus Galaxy. They had a few run ins with the Wraith, the Bolikye, and even one with a rogue sect of the Genii but life on the base itself was quiet. Jennifer threw herself into her work, splitting eighteen hour days between the infirmary and the lab trying to find a cure for Carson. Rodney had started joining her, doing what he could to help her figure out how to replicate the serum that Michael created.

While the two of them had started to become friends after they were trapped in the Genii mine, working so close had caused that friendship to deepen. On one particular night, they had been working late and exhaustion had started to take over Jennifer. McKay had an unorthodox bout of selflessness and had pulled her out to the mess for a break. They had sat on one of the balconies, not too close to the edge, and eaten snacks. Jennifer had started to feel better and thanked Rodney for helping her out. She realized then how much she had come to rely on him since Teyla had disappeared and Ronon left. She told him so and in a moment of weakness, found herself leaning towards him to kiss him.

However, at the last minute, the wrongness of the situation flitted back into her mind and Jennifer stopped. She didn’t want Rodney as anything more then a friend and due to the hurt; she still felt from Ronon, she was projecting her need onto Rodney. She had quickly explained, leaving Ronon’s name out of it, and after several awkward moments, Jennifer excused herself to go back to her quarters. A few days later, after the majority of the embarrassment had dissipated, the two had started working again on their research.

Just over a month after Sheppard and Ronon had left Atlantis, the control center received an urgent message from Colonel Sheppard. They had discovered the location of Michael’s new facility and infiltrated his lab. They had Teyla but their jumper had been damaged and they had only been able to get as far as a nearby planet with a gate. They couldn’t travel through the wormhole back to Atlantis because the escape had caused Teyla to go into labor and Sheppard was worried about taking her. Jennifer and her nurse Marie accompanied McKay, Lorne and his team through the gate.

Jennifer listened to Colonel Sheppard’s voice over her radio telling her what was going on with Teyla as she waited as patiently as possible while Major Lorne landed the jumper. As soon as the ramp was lowered, Jennifer rushed out and over to the other jumper. Ronon was waiting at the door, he nodded to her and she granted herself one fleeting look at him, proving to herself that he was fine before she went inside. She heard Rodney starting to say something to him as she left but she blocked it out.

Ronon and Sheppard had gathered every blanket or cushion in the jumper and piled them on the floor of the jumper to make Teyla more comfortable. The pregnant Athosian was sitting in the middle of them, with Sheppard sitting behind her supporting her back, doing her best to breathe as she had been taught. Jennifer could tell that the breathing was not completely relieving the pain however, Teyla still greeted her with a warm smile. “It is good to see you Jennifer.”

“That is an understatement” Jennifer replied enthusiastically. “I need you to examine you and see what’s going on...”

“I’ll just…go.” Sheppard said uncomfortably as he moved to get up.

Jennifer saw Teyla tense up at his words and she quickly took action. “You’re not going anywhere. I need you here; Teyla needs you here for support. Right Teyla?”

Teyla looked a bit self-conscious at her question but as another contraction hit her, she nodded. Jennifer turned to Marie for the sanitizer and gloves she needed. She quickly examined Teyla and found that her estimate was right. “Teyla, you’ve already processed into heavy labor. This little guy is ready to come out and it won’t be long. I can’t give you anything for the pain.”

“That is fine.” Teyla huffed out. “I don’t want anything.”

Jennifer nodded before shedding her gloves. Marie was quickly setting up the tools she would need on a sanitized sheet on the jumper bench and Jennifer noticed Ronon hovering. “What can I do? I’ve helped with birthing before.”

Jennifer was shocked for a minute at the revelation. She started to say that the best thing he could do was to give them room but stopped. “Right now, I need you to make sure that Rodney and the others stay back. Then come back and get cleaned up. Things are going to move fast and I may need another set of hands besides Marie. ”

Ronon nodded before exiting the jumper. He came back a few minutes later and did whatever Jennifer told him. She had been right; the labor had come fast and hard for Teyla. There were complications and Jennifer had been glad to have Ronon and Sheppard there. Teyla did wonderfully and a few hours later, Jennifer placed the healthy baby boy on his mother’s abdomen. She watched as Teyla met her son face to face and felt as if she was intruding. Especially when she saw the look in Sheppard’s eyes as he watched over Teyla’s shoulder from where he still held her.

Jennifer instead focused on the afterbirth and getting them ready for travel. “I’ve done everything I can here; I want to get the two of you back to Atlantis as soon as possible to look you over better. I want to run some tests to see what Michael might have done.”

“You did not tell her?” Teyla asked Sheppard without taking her eyes off the baby.

“We were a little busy.” Sheppard replied. “We were able to get inside Michael’s lab and we have all of his research including the drugs he used on Carson.”

“How do you know it’s all of it?” Jennifer asked.

“Kanaan assured us it was.” Sheppard answered. “He helped us get inside, gave us the research, and told us where Teyla was. He ran interference for us to get her out.”

“He was killed before we could take Michael out.” Ronon finished and Jennifer could hear the regret in his voice that they had not been able to save the Athosian. Ronon and Sheppard helped move Teyla and the baby over to the other jumper, Lorne, and his team were on sentry duty with the disabled one until it could be repaired, and Jennifer did what she could to make sure they were comfortable. She looked over and saw Rodney holding a large container that she assumed held the research and the valuable drugs by the way he was protecting it. She took a seat across from him, next to Teyla and the baby and felt Ronon’s eyes on her the whole time. She ignored them and within minutes, they returned through the gate.

Jennifer had rushed Teyla and her son to the infirmary and started on running every test she could think of. As she waited the results, she poured over the stolen research as quickly as it could be translated. A few hours later, her patients were asleep with the assurances that the preliminary tests were good and Jennifer had gone with the others to the cryo-chamber to release Carson. While they had not yet been able to reconstruct the serum, the supply they had was enough to give them the confidence that they had plenty of time. They revived him without difficulty and injected him straight away. The injection did as it was supposed to buy them more time.

After she was sure that everyone was all right and that she had nothing more to do, Jennifer finally allowed herself to go off duty. She planned to go to her quarters yet found herself in front of Ronon’s door. He had answered the door quickly and for a few minutes, the two of them had simply stared at each other. There was so much Jennifer wanted to say but the exhaustion that was reeking havoc on her body took control and she pushed past him to his bed. But before she could climb in, he stopped her.

In silence, Ronon stripped her out of her uniform until she was only in her panties and chemise before stepping back and undressing himself. She curled up in his arms and after one last thought that they needed to talk, fell asleep.

As all of the memories of the day floated through her mind, Jennifer continued to stare at Ronon. During the chaos, she had pushed aside the anger and hurt she had been feeling the last month and worked with him for Teyla’s sake. Now she didn’t know what to do. She cared about him deeply but he also scared her. Not like he scared others but because he had so much power over her heart.

Jennifer was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Ronon’s husky voice. “You are way too tense for someone who should be sleeping.”

Jennifer looked up to see his dark eyes staring back at her, searching her face and eyes in the attempt to figure out what she was thinking about. “I didn’t know you were awake.”

“I could tell.” Ronon stated. “I’m guessing that it is me that is causing that troubled frown?”

“Your observation skills have a habit of being annoying.” Jennifer lowered her eyes at his words; he hit the bull’s eye on her thoughts a little too accurately. “Sometimes I swear you can read my mind.”

“I don’t have to be able to read your mind to know what you are thinking. Or to see the pain when you look at me.” Ronon stated as he reached down to stroke the side of her face. “I knew when I left that it would hurt you. But I had to go.”

“I know.” Jennifer admitted truthfully.

“Sheppard came to my quarters right after we left Beckett, told me he wanted to go after Michael on his own. Said that the military would hold him back. I couldn’t let him go by himself. We came up with a plan and then I came to see you.” Ronon explained. “I couldn’t tell you what we were planning, no one could know.”

“I wouldn’t have tried to stop you.” Jennifer stated.

“But then when Colonel Carter asked you about where we had gone, you would have had no choice but to answer her. I didn’t want you to get into trouble.” Ronon clarified. “I always planned to come back.”

“What did Colonel Carter say when you met with her in her office?” Jennifer asked. She was concerned about how much the two of them might be in trouble. “Is Colonel Sheppard going to be court-marshaled?”

“She said that she understood our need to rescue Teyla but she had to notify the IOA and SGC when we left. She said she would let us know as soon as the decision was settled on.” Ronon explained to her. “It doesn’t matter; I knew it was worth it when I saw you put Tegan in Teyla’s arms.”

Jennifer had always known that Ronon felt his team members were his family, but the depth how much he cared for them and what he would do to keep them safe. Before she could stop herself, she leaned forward and kissed him. Her lips caressed his briefly, before she pulled back. “I won’t lie, I was hurt and angry with you, but after seeing you safe…it makes it hard for me to mad anymore. I…”

Ronon cut her off by kissing her. The kiss was unrelenting, his tongue darting out to trace along the crease of her lips, silently pleading for entry. Jennifer opened her mouth, sliding her own tongue against his as they entwined their arms around each other and he slowly leaned her back on the bed, pulling the sheet away from her body.

When they pulled apart to breathe, he hovered over her. “Let me show you how much you mean to me.”

Jennifer saw the darkness in his eyes as they fixed on her, as if he was a jungle cat hunting his prey. She turned her head to the side to try and avoid the intensity of his eyes. Ronon dipped his head, pressing his lips against the smooth skin of her exposed neck before tracing circles on it with his tongue and lightly grazing it with his teeth. Jennifer’s eyes fluttered shut as he started to suck at her neck, first gently, but then with increased pressure.

Her breathing became ragged and she repositioned her legs so he could settle between them then wrapped them around his lower thighs and knees. Ronon kissed his way down to her collarbone and then to her breasts. His large hands found their way under her chemise and it was quickly yanked up and discarded. Jennifer’s hands flew up to his head when he captured one of her nipples between his lips.

“Ronon,” Jennifer breathed, beginning to writhe against him as he suckled her and teased her other nipple with his fingers. His free hand drifted down her stomach to her panties and Jennifer practically jumped when she felt him press his thumb against her clit through the fabric. Her eyes lolled back in her head as he swept his thumb back and forth across her bundle of nerves, all the while continuing his attention to her breasts.

Jennifer’s nails raked absently across Ronon’s back while he continued his ministrations on top of her. He lifted his head, making eye contact with her as he slowly pulled her panties down her leg. Jennifer was unable to stare at anything but his eyes as he slowly inserted a long finger to see if she was ready for him. Jennifer’s hips bucked and she whimpered when she saw him pull the finger out and bring it to his mouth to suck it clean.

Ronon leaned down to kiss her again, his tongue immediately plunging into her mouth almost brutally. As he ravaged her mouth, he positioned himself at her opening. Before she even knew what was happening, he thrust into her. The pleasure of her slick, tight channel threatened to make him loose control but held her still until he could regain control.

Jennifer gasped something unrecognizable as Ronon pulled back slightly before moving into her again. He developed a slow rhythm and her legs wrapped around his waist to give him more access. Ronon let out a groan and sped up his thrusts, going faster and deeper each time, moving around until he found the spot that made her scream.

Jennifer dug her nails into his back; her full-blown screams turning into large moans of pleasure like the one she had never felt before. Her stomach started to warm with a tingle and it spread through her body. Her vision went cloudy and her body started to shake with release as she screamed his name at the top of her lungs. Her walls clamping around his cock, quivering as her orgasm rolled over her, was enough to push him over the edge. The last of her climax milked him for all he was worth and he groaned her name loudly before he laid his head on her chest.

Ronon slipped out of her and tried to move off of her but she squeezed her legs to keep him still. He smirked as he looked up at her. “I’m going to crush you.”

Jennifer had to admit that he was right but she wasn’t ready yet to let go of him so she lowered one leg to allow him to curl up next to her. His body weight was then distributed between her and the bed and Jennifer relished in the comforting feel of him. Before she knew it, she was drifting off to sleep again. As she did, she couldn’t help but ask. “You’ll be here when I wake up right?’

“Nothing could tear me away.” Ronon replied although she was already asleep. He ran his hand over her cheek softly before following her into blissful slumber.
