Teyla stood awkwardly on one of the balconies that overlooked the gateroom, her hands on her round belly. She watched from a distance as the dappled blue pattern of the stargate's light fell over her team's faces as they prepared to leave on another mission without her.
She felt more than saw Colonel Carter come to stand beside her.
"Hey," the blond woman said softly, "they're going to be fine, don't worry." Teyla turned pain-filled eyes towards her.
"I should be going with them," she said. "They are going to look for my people, I should-oh!" she sucked in a gasp through her teeth, clenched tightly against a sudden pain in her stomach. Sam sighed, her blue eyes studying the Athosian's face intently. But there was pity in her eyes, and that was the last thing that Teyla wanted anyone to feel for her.
"Teyla, you're doing the right thing; think of your baby. Your people won't be angry that you can't search because you're pregna-"
"I should be with them," she repeated, her cold eyes meeting the Colonel's until finally she relented and left her alone. When she was gone, Teyla returned her eyes to the gateroom, her lips pressed tightly together in a thin line. She wanted to be with them; she needed them, and they needed her. What good could she possibly do for anyone stuck here on this city?
Fin.
