Intellectually Faye knew that Legen hadn’t meant his casual comment to hurt, but it had. Because Dag had been the only other one in that room to know just how hard Faye had fought to be in a place to have family and actually let herself be a part of a family. “She’s…” Faye gave a half frown but it wasn’t because of Kingston but rather how to evaluate their session. “Good at what she does, I’ll have to give her that.” Faye gazed into his eyes. “She’s one of the few therapists I’ve talked with that really seemed to grasp my BPD brain and she’s not afraid to use that knowledge. She’s certainly not going to let me off the hook with anything,” she finished with a lopsided smirk.

Daggum laughed and said “You got that right. She’s a force of nurturing nature when she thinks she has to be, that’s for sure.” He moved two empty crates from the bedroom to the living room and came back in. He flopped down on the bed and said “And yeah, she’s good at what she does.” and he looked at Faye. “Kinda reminds me of you a bit. Capable, knowledgeable, and not scared to get their hands dirty to get the job done right.”

Faye continued to unpack garments, clearly distracted as her mind traipsed down rabbit holes and she had to work to pull herself back to the present.
“I have you and Tess, and I have Kingston to help me stay steady. I just… I was nervous before we came, but now I’m the head of a whole department, and one that this ship seems to make good use of. And I’m going to keep working on my command training and keep the ultimate goal in mind, but…” She turned To Daggum, her grey-green eyes holding fear. “Tell me it’s going to be okay?”
~Faye
Daggum looked up at her and smiled. “Faye… its gonna be okay. *You’re gonna be ok. And together, we’re going to be just fine. Even when its rough… its still gonna be ok.” His words were sincere, steady, and wholly the truth. His belief in the words was more than evident.
Daggum
Okay,” she said, just as effortlessly as she had back on Event Horizon Station when he had laid out this wonderful life together and then dropped in ever so causally that he fully intended to marry her one day. Her response had been a simply ‘Okay’. She had believe him then, and she believed him now.
Finishing with the clothes, Faye sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at him. “You know, on our honeymoon, it felt just as I always imagined life together. It was simple in many ways even when so much else that wove its way through our life was far more complicated. I am glad to be here with you, just so you know, just in case my settling in isn’t as smooth as I’d like and I go a bit bonkers at any point. I trust us. We fought like hell to be in places in our lives so that we could be together. I guess… I guess I’m just anticipating it being rough because I’m not sure I’m made for smooth and easy. I don’t know how to trust that. Except loving you. Easiest thing in the whole damn Universe, my Gem.”
~Faye
Daggum smiled at her and moved so he was next to her. “Easy isn’t always our thing, Faye. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.” and he leaned down and kissed her.
Daggum
Faye beamed at him. “Understatements all around I think.”
Looking around the bedroom of their shared quarters, Faye was thoughtful for a moment. “I should go check out my new office and meet with Dawson.” She looked at Daggum with a gleam in her eye. “And I’m thinking later there might be some playing with my secret project, dinner and time with you. The order of events is… flexible.”
