Hannah kissed him, long enough to make the other people in the pizzeria smile over their happiness. “Let’s go home.”

Hannah

He was silent a minute and then said “What about the pizza?” and grinned at her.

“We take it with us. I might wake up at 2 am and have to have it. They will be closed by then.” Hannah ate another slice while they waited for the box and check.

It was only about twenty minutes later when the door to their apartment opened and the two of them walked in. Jason looked at Hannah and signed I’m going to put the pizza in the chiller.

Jason

Okay Hannah happily slurped the last of the peach milkshake from the cup. Then followed him into the kitchen to throw the cup away. It was still barely early afternoon after having to wait for the infusion unit and lunch. Hannah grabbed a glass and filled it with water and drank. “Do you still want to cook chicken parm tonight? We could order the ingredients or pull them from the replicator.”

Hannah

Jason turned and walked towards her. He stood in front of her and put his hands on the counter on either side of her, ‘trapping’ her in front of him. “Do you remember that night when we both were actually scheduled off at the same time? You got us that amazing hotel room.” He leaned in and whispered so close to her ear that his lips brushed her ear and her implants had no trouble picking up the words. “Our first night together.” and he nibbled on her ear.

Jason

Unlike most people who would move back, Hannah moved into him as his arms ‘trapped’ her, and her stomach did all kinds of gymnastics as he leaned in really close. His whisper tickled her ear and was chased all the way down her spine. He could see her pulse racing in her neck and she made a very soft sound in the back of her throat. “Yeah,” her hands slid up his arms and over his shoulders, “there was that great view on the balcony of the three moons. You said I should have gems the same colors so I’d remember.” She kissed his neck, moving slowly to the spot behind his ear. “I don’t remember what they looked like. I was too busy staring at you. I think we stayed out there all night.”

Hannah

Jason kissed her neck between words. “One blue… one yellow… one purple.” He moved his kiss to her lips and reached down, put his hands on her back-side, and lifted her up so she was sitting on the counter. “And we did stay out there. Made use of the lounge chairs.” He kissed her again. “I think that was the first time I told you that I loved you.”

Jason

“It was,” Hannah kissed him, just a brief a contact. “It was so unexpected I didn’t say anything, until I laughed. You rolled me on my back and loomed over me and gave me this very stern expression,” Hannah attempted to copy his look and sound serious, “and told me I had better be laughing because you had made me the happiest woman in the galaxy. I kissed you, told you you had and that I loved you with all my heart.” Hannah rested her forehead against his. “Do you remember, I taught you ‘I love you’ in Catawban sign?” She crossed her fists at the wrists and made a small beating motion off center, over her heart and then repeated the motion over his heart.

Hannah

“I remember. You are the one that started me learning sign.” and then he signed I didn’t know it at the time, but I WAS learning it for you. He smiled and said “I still cannot believe that after all those years… I was walking through the Saracen and saw your reciever fall out of your pocket and when I tapped you on the shoulder… it was you. I was… stunned.” He smiled and signed We are home. You can take them off if you want.

Jason

Why did you learn? Hannah grinned. “I was surprised you didn’t know because you knew what I signed to Fitzpatrick. Why is it people always learn swear words in new languages first?” Such a seemingly simple offer made her feel all sorts of things - mostly accepted and comfortable, she was home. She reached up with both hand and rotated them till these was a soft click and everything went silent. She looked around for a minute for where to put them. She switched them into her pocket and took the small PaDD Ok’jiv had handed her and tossed it in the counter. Then her eyes turned back to him. I was so shocked all I could do was fidget about how I never drop them. After all that time you were there. I thought I might be dreaming.

Hannah

I’ll tell you why later. he signed with a smile. For now… I saw you standing there and I honestly forgot everything. I could barely understand when you asked ‘How are you?’. Jason smiled warmly at her. And I really didn’t mean to shock you when I replied ‘I’m still in love with you.’ It was the only thought in my head.

Jason

I…I… Hannah stared past his shoulder. What would she have done? There had been a couple of days where she’d been sad, but she had mourned Daniel years ago. She had been…angry and bitter. He’d made promises he never intended to keep, and she’d known it all along. What would she have done when Jason appeared so unexpectedly into all of that? When he was saying he still loved her, and she was questioning all her life choices? I didn’t know what to make of that. You were the one good thing in all those years, but I’d lost you, too. And there you when everything was such a mess. I didn’t know what to say or do. Just that I missed you. Not the enthusiastic welcome you deserved.

Hannah

Jason smiled and said You were in shock. So was I. Thats why I blurted that out. Hannah… I honestly expected you to walk away right there. But when you said you missed me… I knew what you meant. I didn’t know everything that was happening, but I knew something was wrong. He moved in close to her and started to sloooooowly undo clothing buttons and such. “That why I said if you wanted to talk, you could come to my quarters for dinner.”

Jason

Hannah nodded softly. You always seemed to know what I was feeling and thinking. Hannah watched him slip the buttons of her sweater free, so she missed some of what he was saying. She looked up and only caught ‘quarters for dinner.’ Sorry, I wasn’t watching. Hannah flushed, she had been, just something different.

Jason chuckled and signed I said I had asked you to my quarters for dinner to talk if you wanted to. He opened the sweater and slid his arms around her for a moment, his skin on her skin.

Hannah sighed as his arms settled around her. His skun pleasantly warm against hers. She leaned into him, breathing in every detail of the moment. Finally, she moved back, but only enough he could see her sign.

It seemed so s-u-r-r-e-a-l sitting across the table from you again. I didn’t know what to say. Everything had been covered up, lied about. You asked me what really happened, and…well it was you. I told you everything.

Hannah

Jason nodded. He unwrapped her from his embrace and signed I felt so bad. I knew you loved him. And oddly, I wasn’t j-e-a-l-o-u-s. E-n-v-i-o-u-s yes. But I just wanted then… and now… for you to be happy and where you want to be. And I told you that. Do you remember what you said?

Jason

Hannah gripped his hands a moment and then began to sign. I said the last time I was happy was with you. It wasn’t fair you were there. I had asked for a transfer but not heard yet.

Hannah

He unbuttoned his shirt and pressed himself against her for a long moment before leaning back.

I asked you where, and you said Oed V. I had never heard of it. I asked if that was what you really wanted. You said you had to go, you couldn’t stay on that ship. He leaned in and kissed her. I asked if you would stay with me that night. Just to be with you.

Jason

Hannah’s hands slid slowly from around him, tracing along his ribs to his abs as she kissed him. Her voice was exceptionally soft when she spoke. “I couldn’t stay there, with the pity, the lies, stagnant.” Her fingers traced his face, his jaw, his lips, before she smiled and signed, Best decision I ever made. Besides you weren’t staying on Saracen. Your assignments took you everywhere. You were just their for a briefing. Slidding her palms over his shoulder she slowly pushed his shirt off his shoulders and off his arms. I stayed. I couldn’t imagine anything else. You were there, and I couldn’t let you go again. Hannah looked upwards and blinked as her eyes watered. Then she leaned in and kissed him.

Hannah

He kissed her back, and then smiled and said And we spent the night together… and thats when this- and he pressed his hand to her stomach, - was made. He stepped back away from her and said And that next morning you got a response. Your transfer had been approved and you had to leave that very day. It wasn’t fair. But I knew that you were what I wanted… where I needed to be. So you left… we promised that this time it wouldn’t be the end. And three months later I got here. It took resigning, but we made it. He smiled at her and then stepped back in and kissed her. And I’m not leaving you again.

Jason

Hannah didn’t hesitate as he set his hand over her stomach, but she didn’t lean in right away either. She let the story, the new truth, sink in. This was Jason’s baby. She let the wish that it was true go, because from now on she had to live that truth. They would both change it if they could, and this was how they were going to do that. The fact she never wanted anything to do with Daniel’s work, with his other lives, didn’t matter. He had made it so she was. This baby was. It took several long deep breaths for Hannah to let go of that anger. It didn’t matter anymore. What mattered was the man standing in front of her and their baby, their family. She put her hand over his and kissed him softly.

You coming here is everything. That we…the three of us, will be here together. Hannah set her hands in her lap and stares at them a moment before staring into his eyes. I know you promised, and I know you meant it. But…I have a hard time trusting promises, but I’m trying.

Hannah

Jason smiled. Well, historically I have a hard time keeping them… so we both have a lot of new things to try. But I think with you, keeping my promises will be a lot more fun.

Jason

I’m not leaving either. Hannah leaned toward him smiling. I think life will be more fun together. She put her arms around him, her skin against his, and kissed him while slowly sliding off the counter. Slowly she ended the kiss and leaned back slightly so she could see his eyes. “Do you still want me to move in now?”

Hannah
