Chapter 5: Epilogue
XXXXX
Ronon and Rodney were walking back towards the living quarters. Ronon was walking pretty far ahead of Rodney, since they had spent more than enough time with each other in the last couple of hours.
They were both pissed, and anxious to get their hands on John and Teyla.
Arriving at the populated part of the City they headed for John's quarters first.
They got there quickly, and Ronon pounded on the door. "Sheppard? Open up!"
When no answer came, Ronon turned to Rodney. "Can you open it?"
"Sure, I mean I think I can, just err… give me a minute." Rodney answered, and started to fiddle with the control crystals from the door.
About 20 seconds later the doors opened.
Ronon strode past Rodney and started to look for John. Neither he nor Teyla were in the room.
They left and headed for Teyla's room. Arriving there Rodney opened the door faster this time, but there was no sign of them there either.
"Where the hell are they?" Ronon asked irritated.
"I don't know, they're probably hiding from us…" Rodney figured.
"I'll find them." Ronon said.
Rodney cleared his throat. "Err… yeah we will."
Ronon shrugged. "Whatever, you got any idea where they could be?"
Rodney sighed. He was about say no when he thought of something. Every room in Atlantis had cameras installed, with the exception of the living quarters of course. The monitors with the camera footage were in the security room, which was above the control room. There was a good chance that they would find Sheppard and Teyla there.
He smiled at Ronon, and shared his thoughts with him. Ronon agreed with him and they stepped inside the nearest transporter, heading for the security room.

Ronon and Rodney got there within a few minutes, and waved the door open. It was unlocked.
The doors opened and revealed Sheppard and Teyla lying on a couch in front of the monitor screens.
They were cuddled together, and both were fast asleep.
Rodney opened his mouth instantly, but Ronon cut him off.
Ronon walked out of the room and came back a moment later with a bucket full of very cold water.
He walked over towards the couch silently, and grinned at Rodney.
Rodney had to put his hand over his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud, and waking them up.
Ronon emptied the bucket in one quick movement, and the result came almost instantly.
John and Teyla both sprung up off the couch screaming. It took a moment for them to realise where they were and how they became absolutely soaked.
When they did, they turned towards Ronon and Rodney at the same time, and Rodney managed to take a step back so that he was behind Ronon.
He and Ronon were both laughing so hard that they were bend over and holding onto each other to prevent themselves from falling over.
Their irritation from before had vanished like snow before the sun.
John and Teyla were both glaring at them. If looks could kill…
"What the hell was that for?!" John yelled at them.
That only resulted in more laughter from Ronon and Rodney. This of course made John and Teyla all the more furious with them.
"You two… totally deserved that…" Rodney managed to say, catching his breath.
Ronon had also managed to stop laughing, and wiped some tears away from the corners of his eyes. "Yeah," he chuckled. "Totally."
Teyla sighed and put her hand on John's arm to prevent him from hurting either one of them, meaning Rodney…
"I suppose we did deserve this," she admitted, pushing her wet hair out of her face.
John grunted. "Whatever."
"So… what where you two doing just now anyway…?" Rodney asked with a cheeky smile. "I really thought I heard something about 'Just friends'…?"
Teyla blushed and bit her lip.
John was blushing as well, and realised that they couldn't hide it any longer. Especially since they were just found cuddling together.
John cleared his throat. "Yeah well, we err… just wanted to see how things went before we told anybody…" God this was so humiliating. He glanced at Teyla, who was not helping one bit. He looked back at Ronon and Rodney and he knew he was going to regret what he just said.
"Told anybody- what?" Ronon asked with a grin on his face.
John looked at Teyla again, who was keeping her mouth firmly closed.
Great, just great.
"I think you know what I mean Ronon," he answered. But of course he was not getting off easily.
"Not really… could you explain it for us…?" Rodney asked.
Both Rodney and Ronon were struggling to keep themselves from starting another laughing fit.
John sighed and gave Teyla a little nudge with his elbow, but she completely ignored him. She was probably embarrassed he figured, but so was he! She'd better make up for this later.
"That we told anybody that we are seeing each other," he said quietly.
"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that…" Rodney said, putting his hand behind his ear.
That was too much for Ronon and he broke down with laughter. Rodney soon followed him and they were both lying on the floor clutching their stomachs.
Teyla and John shook their heads at them and strode out of the room.

As they were walking back towards their rooms John stopped Teyla.
"You kinda left me hanging there Tey…" John said.
Teyla looked him in the eyes. "I am sorry John. I just… I did not know what to say."
"Yeah well, me neither. But next time you can do the talking," he said pointing his finger at her. "Because I'm sure half of Atlantis will know within the hour."
Teyla nodded. "I will."
She was still looking at him with those beautiful eyes, filled with regret, and he just couldn't stay mad at her for any longer.
He hooked one arm around her waist, pulling her against him. He leaned down and kissed her. She returned the kiss immediately.
John stopped the kiss and pushed a lock of hair behind her ear.
He smiled at her. "I can never stay mad at you for very long."
Teyla smiled back at him. "Good." And she pulled him back down to kiss him again.

About an hour later…
Teyla and John were on their way to the mess hall to get something to eat.
They entered and walked over towards the buffet to choose a meal. After a while they began noticing that a lot of people where staring at them and whispering to each other.
John groaned and pulled Teyla out of the room. He was not in the mood for this. And he couldn't let Teyla deal with all of those nosy people by herself.
No, he decided, they would deal with this together. But not today, they had suffered enough for the day.
"John?" Teyla allowed him to pull her along, but gave his arm a little tug to get his attention.
"Look Tey, I'm really not in the mood to deal with all of those people right now, and I'm sure you're not either," he explained.
She nodded and gave him a small smile.
"What?" he asked. Did he have something on his face or something?
"You can be so sweet." Her smile grew. "I love you John." She looked uncertain for a moment.
She looked so cute, and his love for her seemed to grow more and more. He had always loved her, since the first time they had met.
He smiled back at her and caressed her face. "I love you too Tey, I always have, and I always will."
The End!!
