Hope, Duty, Pride, Home by sheafrotherdon
~2200 words, PG, the Team become parents (Teyla/Kanaan, Ronon/Jennifer, and John/Rodney). Beta'd, as ever, by the lovely dogeared. Teyla's baby's name borrowed from siriaeve's fic-to-be!

Rating: PG
Summary: Follows on (with permission!) from the end of trinityofone's Brothers in Arms. Read that first!
A/N: Trin's fic broke me, and I flailed and suggested all the ways Rodney might be able to help with John's situation. Bless her heart for letting me try, and siriaeve for beta-ing.

( John's never quite understood how one man can endow such a small word with so much meaning, as if he's folded scorn in upon itself, increased its density, tinkered with its mass. )

A/N: thanks to the insightful, comma-vigilent dogeared, whose advice about the ending was so beautifully on the mark.
