He runs a hand through her hair, tangling up his fingers in that 'work all day in the hospital, mother of two' hairstyle.
"Do you still love me?" she asks.
"Are you kidding? Our love has withstood the damn dinosaurs, two brats screaming, the wrath of my father's soldiers!" he answers, laughing. "We've survived jungles infested with hideous creatures and even that damn Josh Shannon, who used to pine over you all the time. By the way, don't you think he's put on a nice belly? "
"Stop it!" she scolds him. "What about you and that lab assistant of yours, the one with the glasses and the adoring gaze that came in the Sixteenth Pilgrimage?"
"Who?" he questions, looking confused. "I change assistant every two months. I seem to be too demanding ... "
"Oh, you're an asshole!" Skye giggles. "That little girl you loved is gone and crying ... "
"It seems to me that these new settlers are getting younger and unnecessary. At least all these new colonies are helping to fix the future."
"I'm not sure that's a good thing," she says, running her fingers along the scars behind his neck. "We're deforesting the landscapes. And the wildlife there is suffering. I think that we're repeating the mistakes of our ancestors."
"It's progress, honey," he says, hugging her. "You cannot rebuild humanity without doing some damage. This planet was not destined to remain a land untouched. And speaking of planets, of course I still love you. You're my gravity, are you're what keeps me grounded. "
And then he kisses her.
And yet, after all this time, there was no other.
