"I realise this is probably going to inspire a lot of difficulties and re-evaluation of policy in regards to the Atlantis expedition and doubtless a lot of questions on why I didn't get this approved first. In answer, I will point out that the threat to the child's life was ongoing and quick intervention was critical. The goodwill of Teyla Emmagan and the Athosian people as our first and most loyal of allies is worth the risk." Elizabeth glanced down at her notes briefly, then looked back at the camera. "Furthermore, this may actually aid our diplomatic endeavours, as many Pegasus cultures are leery of allying with a group that is not growing and flourishing. Additionally, those who bear the wraith genetics are slowly dying out due to miscarriages and persecution from those who fear their gift. The continuation of this genetic line could be important to the long-term survival of the people of the Pegasus Galaxy." She paused, schooling her features and looking straight into the camera. "On a personal level, Teyla is a very dear friend and I'm very happy to be able to give her this chance at motherhood. I know you understand the pain of losing a child, Jack. I couldn't bear to see her go through it." She held her pose for a moment, then picked up the remote and hit the stop button.
She stretched, feeling more tired that she had in a long while. She gave a rueful smile as she realised she was going to have to start thinking in terms of being a pregnant woman and not just the head of the Atlantis Expedition. She'd intended to edit her video message to General O'Neill before going to bed, but decided it would have to wait for tomorrow. She had a staff meeting in the morning. It was going to be an interesting one.
She stood, stretching and yawning, turned off the camera and headed out the door. She nodded at Sergeant Zhang. "Good night, Sergeant."
"Making an early night of it, Doctor?"
"Yes. No more late nights for me for a while."
He gave her a disbelieving look, but still answered. "Good. You should get more rest."

Rodney moaned and opened his legs wider for Carson's fingers. He turned and kissed his husband, gasping as Carson slid a couple of fingers into him teasingly. His female body was heavy now with pregnancy, different than the last time they'd done this an age ago. It was at once both clumsier and hotter.
Rodney's hand curled around Carson's cock, pumping slowly, as the other circled the nipples that topped his own full breasts. Carson tended to avoid them, but Rodney was rather fond of them. They were much fuller now than they had been before.
He could feel how slick he was around Carson's fingers. Carson rubbed in circles over the small nub there, sending flashes of pleasure through Rodney. It still felt strange and a little terrifying not to have a cock, but the pleasure soon overwhelmed any other thoughts. Rodney closed his eyes, female body bucking against Carson's hand until the heat swept through him, just as shocking now as it had been the first time, leaving him breathless and stunned, but with a... hollowness, a yearning for more.
"Turn on your side for me, love," Carson said.
Rodney did so with some effort. Carson curled up behind adjusting his angle until he slid into Rodney, who moaned at the sensation of being filled and then focused on clamping down with his muscles to make it tighter for Carson.
"Oh, yes, love," Carson gasped, setting up a gentle rhythm.
Carson held him close, slowly kissing along his shoulders, as they moved together. It wasn't long before Carson shuddered and throbbed into Rodney, the sensation once again pulling Rodney over the edge.
They lay in blissed-out silence for a while, then Rodney turned over facing Carson, flinging his arm and upper knee over his husband. Carson kissed him and grinned. "Welcome back to womanhood, Rodney."
Rodney snorted, then shifted, trying to get comfortable and then sighed. "I've got to go to the bathroom. I can feel your come running out and it's tickling. How do women stand that?"
Carson shrugged. "Ask me when I'm a woman."
Rodney gave him a significant look. "Oh, I will."
***
Elizabeth sat and watched as her senior staff walked in. Sheppard and Lorne were the first to arrive, talking patrol rosters even as they took seats. Zelenka came next, coffee already in hand, barely looking up from his laptop. Teyla arrived shortly thereafter, looking much better than she had in a while.
Elizabeth glanced at her watch and frowned.
"Sorry," Carson called, stepping halfway into the room. "Rodney had clothing issues this morning."
"Shoes," the woman with the crooked frown, bulging tummy, and powerbar said as she walked in. "My sarongs work fine for either gender, but none of my shoes fit right and the pair I borrowed before are too tight."
Elizabeth smiled. "We'll see what we can do after the meeting Rodney."
Female Rodney huffed and collapsed into a chair, giving Carson a glare that Elizabeth suspected men had been getting since time began.
Elizabeth opened the meeting as usual, dealing with the normal problems, discussions, decisions. When the meeting seemed to be wrapping up and everyone had had their say and was looking to pack up, she finally brought up her big news. "There is one more item." All eyes turned to her, most looking inquiring. "I've composed an email that I will send out after this meeting, but I wanted all of you to hear it from me personally. Some of you may have noticed that Teyla has apparently been under the weather for a while."
There were nods and a few glances at Teyla.
"I've gotten her permission to tell you all that she was pregnant."
"Was?" John asked.
"There were complications due to her wraith genetics producing an antibody that was attacking the fetus."
There were concerned looks cast in Teyla's direction.
"Fortunately, the Ancients had a device which could transfer an early pregnancy from the natural mother to a surrogate. Yesterday afternoon, we used this device."
"We?" Rodney asked.
She nodded. "Carson used it to transfer the pregnancy from Teyla to me." She gave them all a grin. "I'm pregnant with Teyla's child."
Zelenka made an exclamation in Czech. Rodney gaped. John's face flickered between shock and relief. "Well," John finally managed. "I guess, um, congratulations are in order?"
Teyla smiled. "Thank you, Colonel." She reached out and curled her hand around Lorne's. "Evan and I both appreciate your support."
There were murmurs of surprise as Lorne blushed and then John was shaking Lorne's hand and Zelenka was grinning from ear to ear and Rodney was demanding to know why Carson didn't tell him these things. Elizabeth beamed at her people, inordinately pleased at how easily they adapted to the strangeness that was life in the Pegasus Galaxy.
As the meeting broke up, John cleared his throat. "If all of you could stay here for a moment..." He touched his headset. "Miko? Ronon? We're ready."
***
"Relax your body," Teyla intoned. "Feel the energy flowing throughout it. Focus on your breathing. In... and out..."
Rodney fought to still his whirling thoughts and do as she said, hearing the soft intake of breath from Elizabeth beside him.
"That is good. Now, feel the muscles deep within your womanhood. Tighten them and hold, breathing steadily. Now release. And tighten them again..."
***
"Taking the day off?" Sergeant Mulgrew asked as he handed John the picnic basket.
"Yeah," John said. "Headed off to the Mainland for a day on the beach."
"Sounds nice," Mulgrew said, nodding. "Taking your fiancée with you?"
John grinned. "You didn't think all this food was just for me, did you?"
The head cook chuckled. "Didn't figure so, sir. You have a good day."
***
"Thank you, Teyla," Elizabeth said, standing. Rodney was already out the door, giving rapid-fire instructions to Radek over his headset.
"You will return tomorrow?" Teyla asked.
Elizabeth smiled. "I suppose I'd better be preparing for childbirth, right?"
Teyla laid a hand on Elizabeth's abdomen. "It fills me with wonder to know my child lives within you."
Elizabeth nodded, unable to answer the fierce joy in Teyla's eyes.
"How have you been feeling?"
"Oh, I was pretty nauseated this morning. And tired."
"There is a third bedroom in the suite that Evan and I are considering," Teyla said. "We would be honoured if you would stay with us, so that we may care for you."
"Oh, Teyla, I couldn't."
Teyla reached out, cupping Elizabeth's face. "You have been lonely. You need not be anymore."
Elizabeth's thoughts stuttered to a stop as Teyla's lips met hers, quiet and confident, but not demanding. Without thought, she opened and found herself invaded, Teyla's mouth tasting of exotic spices.
And Elizabeth was lost.
***
John stretched out beside Miko, enjoying the touch of sun on her skin and the lap of the waves on the shore. She sighed appreciatively and took his hand, pulling him against her.
He leaned down and kissed her languidly, a slow exploration of lips and tongue and teeth as he slipped atop her. As always, the press of her body against his sent fire coursing through his veins and today she was deliciously presented in a bikini. His hands slowly explored her, the curve of her hip, the line of her shoulder, the soft skin under her arm where no one but a lover ever touched. As his fingers slid against the slick fabric of her bikini and circled a nipple, she pulled away from the kiss, gasping, eyes wide.
"Shhhhh," he whispered. "I won't hurt you, you know." He leaned down and kissed her forehead, her nose, her mouth, his body pressing down against her, his arousal evident through his swim trunks.
"I know," she said, smiling shyly. "I know."
He continued with his slow exploration, touching and teasing, kissing, until her trembling changed from nervousness to desire. He untied her top and pulled it off, kissing her, naked breasts against his chest making him moan, and then trailed kisses down her throat and to her breasts. She shivered and arched against him as his lips closed over a nipple. While he lapped at it, one of his hands snaked downward to slip into her bikini bottoms, finding her wet and slippery. She gasped and bucked as he pleasured her.
His voice joined hers when he felt her hand caress his erection, tentative at first, then growing bolder as he responded. He undid the ties for her bikini bottoms and slid them off her, eyes devouring her as she lay naked before him. "God, Miko," he gasped.
She grasped his trunks and pushed them down, allowing him to twist and adjust to get them past his ass and his erection. He settled between her legs, cockhead teasing at her entrance, and took her mouth in another kiss. As they parted, their eyes met, dark with desire and yearning and love, and then he slid into her, their voices lifting in pleasure.
Their bodies moved together, primal and needy, until he shuddered and stilled, throbbing into her. He gathered her in his arms when he'd recovered his breath and slipped a hand between her legs, fingers filling her as the heel of his hand pressed against her clit, stroking and stroking until she cried out, her body pulsing around his fingers.
In the stillness that followed, he took her hand and kissed the finger where two rings nestled together-- a diamond ring and in closer to her heart, a plain gold band.
***
Rodney sat at the lab table, typing furiously, mind focused on the new data from his latest modeling experiment. He froze, considering a slight modulation that might provide so much more insight, only vaguely aware of someone entering the lab.
Simpson screamed.
He was off the chair, crouched low, hand scrabbling for a sidearm that wasn't there, fighting to find his balance in a body so different than his own. He blinked at Simpson holding Miko's hand and staring at the second ring there. "Oh, for crying out... Simpson! You are no longer permitted to scream in my lab unless you are on fire, bleeding severely, or otherwise on the verge of death." He glared around at the other scientists. "That goes for the rest of you, too."
Simpson gave him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Doctor McKay. But Miko has a ring-- another ring. She eloped!"
"Yes, yes, I'm well aware of that." Rodney waved a slender hand dismissively. "All right, everyone go admire Miko's new ring, tell her congratulations, and get back to work."
***
"Are you sure this isn't too much of an imposition?" Elizabeth asked, surveying the apartment.
Lorne shrugged. "Teyla wants you here so the baby can be nearby and so we can take care of you."
"Yes," Teyla agreed. "You are part of our family now, Elizabeth. Consider this your home."
Elizabeth watched as Teyla leaned up and gave Lorne a quick kiss. She was so out of her element here, unsure of the expectations, and frankly unsure what she wanted the expectations to be. She turned and headed for the spare bedroom, choosing to leave the two some privacy.
***
Carson looked grim as he noted down Rodney's blood pressure.
"How bad?" Rodney asked.
"Oh, it's elevating rather rapidly, which I don't like to see, but it's not to the point I'm ready to induce just yet."
"Well, that's good then," Rodney said. "Because tomorrow Zelenka's gone with the team offworld again and I really don't want to leave the labs in charge of, well, Kavanagh or someone."
"And what happens if the baby decides to come while he's offworld running from unfriendly natives, then?"
Rodney blinked. "I... um... cross my legs?"
Carson chuckled and kissed him. "And a child of yours isn't going to be stubborn at all, is it, love?"
"Of course not!" Rodney smiled as their eyes met. "I'm sure he or she will listen to reason."
***
Rodney watched as his team disappeared with Radek through the wormhole. He frowned down at his abdomen as the baby kicked. "You're not allowed to come out today. So don't even think about it!"
