That actually seemed to perk Jason up some. “Now that is bitha very logical concern… and also one I an uniquely equipped to handle. Now… with your approval and consent of course… I can change things so it would appear you never had anything to do with him. Hell, I can even change your whole name and personnel record if you wanted me to. But that could be a bit much right now. I can edit and modify all of his records, files, personal logs… anything. As far as anyone doing a search could find, you two would have never even met.i can even steer inquires away from the Saracen so they can’t ask anyone about the two of you. If that’s what you want, anyway.”

Remove their connection? Hannah could see the need for it, the practicality of it. She knew what Daniel had done was dangerous. If it was her, just her, well that was her decision and her life, but it wasn’t just her anymore was it? But change her name? Who she was, where she came from, her service history? What about her parents? Her colony? What about Alexis? She’d be beside herself (in a very Alexis like way). Lt Mika knew about her and Daniel. She knew about the baby and Daniel disappearing. This was…overwhelming. “I....I don’t know.” She looked around the room that suddenly felt very small. “Can we discuss this somewhere else? Anywhere else.”

“Of course.” Jason said and he waited till she was ready and followed her out.

As they left Ok’jiv stopped them to give Hannah a small PaDD. “Call if you need anything.” Hannah nodded, “Thank you, Ok’jiv. Also, what Jason asked you for, it’s fine. We discussed it, it’s okay with me.” Ok’jiv nodded, “Of course.” She nodded to them both and stepped into another room with another patient. Hannah led the way out of the hospital, slipping the PaDD into her pocket.

Hungry? Jason signed. Or just walk and talk?

Jason

A smile touched her lips, but didn’t quite make her eyes. I am hungry. Besides, I think if I don’t eat, you and O-k-j-i-v will gang up on me. Walking and talking sounds good too. Maybe we find a new place to eat at the same time? The Ginger Man did have good food, but Hannah needed some distance from all the obvious baby oriented things. I… she turned towards him as they walked, I think I need a minute to let everything sit and turn over. It’s just so much.

Hannah

Jason smiled and said OK. I know you are more comfortable with your implants off. If you like, you can turn them off and we can just walk and you can process. He took her hand in his and pulled her close to him. And I will be right here when you want to talk. and he leaned in and kissed her for a long, long moment filled with promise and hope.

Jason

Hannah looked up at him, warmth flooding her as he pulled close. She held onto his hand, her other slipping around him and resting against his back. It took that long, long moment that he kissed her, but finally the painful knot in her gut eased as his promise and hope filled her. Hannah kissed him back, it was filled with trust and belonging. Life continued and moved passed them as they stood there. Here everything made sense. Hannah didn’t care how or why, just that it was.

When the kiss ended she reached up and took off her implants. She couldn’t remember the last time she had spent this much time without them. Jason was right, she was more comfortable without them, but they were a necessary inconvenience that she had learned to accept. Then she did something she had never done before - she took his hand and place the two disks in his palm and closed his fingers around them. Hannah had a pocket to hold them in, but this was more than that. Her earlier hurt feelings and whatever his good intentions and her outburst could be called, was over. She trusted him anyway, they both apologized and she knew he hadn’t meant to hurt her, just take cate of her.

She laced her fingers in his other hand and started walking. She was deep in thought. It was overwhelming, but it wasn’t as bad as a few days ago because she wasn’t alone. But there were decisions she had to make, and she really couldn’t put them off. After a few blocks she passed and tapped her nose. Pizza?
