Teyla's Husband
- a bit of
silliness mainly by Leesa Perrie
Notes: This was written
before Quarantine (and quite possibly before This Mortal Coil or even
earlier!) was aired and was in answer to a teaser 'let slip' by Joe
Mallozzi on his blog that there was a marriage proposal in an upcoming
episode…the fans reacted with varying degrees of no, yay,
who, why, etc… This is what I posted in his comments section
(silliness warning):
So, in reference to the episode with the marriage proposal in it,
I’ve finally figured it all out (with help from my husband,
who will deny all involvement if asked!).
Teyla is pregnant and her love interest is missing, but the Athosian
culture frowns on babies born outside of marriage and she is
worried her child will be ostracized … so Ronon offers to
marry her, only to be interrupted by Rodney who says *he* should be the
one to marry her (this is after the break-up, death of, or over-wise
disastrous end to his relationship with Katie). Of course,
John then protests, “Hey, *I’m* the team leader, if
anyone should marry her it should be me!”
The conversation is overheard and the rumour spreads quickly, within
five minutes there is a long queue of eligible (and not so eligible)
men waiting to ask for Teyla’s hand in marriage.
She uses her bantos sticks to beat them all off and show that just
because she is pregnant doesn’t mean she can’t
still kick everyone’s butts … and with ease at
that!
Wandering away from the groaning men she has conquered, she finds
herself outside Todd’s cell. Todd asks her what is
wrong and after she tells him, he also offers to marry her.
Teyla considers this briefly before asking him his real name.
Reluctantly, he tells her, and she says, “Oh no, I
couldn’t possibly marry someone called ‘Fluffy
Wuffy Rabbit of Death’.” And so she leaves him,
heartbroken and rejected (aahhhh).
The day before the baby is due, Teyla still has not married.
The rumours of her situation has spread throughout the galaxy, nay, the
universe even. And then Hermiod returns (he was delayed
returning to his home world and so missed the big explosion, he then
spent several months mourning the loss of his people, but as soon as he
heard about Teyla’s problem, he hightailed it back to
Atlantis).
To everyone’s shock and surprise, Teyla agrees to marry
Hermiod, and they are wed later that day …
Meanwhile, suffering from the break-up, death of, or over-wise
disastrous end to his relationship with Katie, coupled with his
rejection by Teyla, Rodney spirals into an emotional black hole and
ends up proposing to … ... (drum roll) … Laura
Cadman … erm, okay, so *now* this is getting a bit *too*
silly even for me …
So, Mr Mallozzi, sir, am I a genius or am I a … (very sad
fangirly with far too much time on her side) …genius?!
