The Scarran armada surrounded the blue glowing orb and easily began to besiege the terrified inhabitants; DK and his wife were found dead in the car; Moya's crew were tortured and killed as Grayza's soldiers boarded the leviathan...

John shifted in his sleep as the nightmares slipped away and he fell into a better sort of dream...

Aeryn smiled as John slipped the engagement ring on her finger; John stared in love and wonder as Aeryn presented their child to his eager eyes; John laughed as his son and two daughters played in the field of flowers while he and Aeryn looked on, her hand in his...

When he finally awoke, it was to see Aeryn sitting watch by his bedside. At some point while he slept, she had removed his boots and wrapped a black fur blanket around him. He lay warm and comfortable, safe in her watchful and loving vigil.

"Aeryn?" John asked softly.

She looked up quietly as John raised himself up into a half sitting position on the bed. "I feel like I've been sleeping a thousand years."

"Closer to nine arns. How do you feel?" Aeryn replied softly.

John stretched experimentally. "Better," he answered her quiet question. "The Scarrans; the Peacekeepers?"

"Pilot says that we are clear of both since starbursting away from the asteroid."

"Good," John nodded.

Aeryn's deep ocean blue eyes lingered over John, taking in every inch of him with loving regard.

"Aeryn," he whispered.

She smiled softly and took the hand that John held out to her. Gently, she lay in the bed next to him, settling against him so that she could lay her head lightly on John's chest.

"Comfortable?" John whispered, his voice smiling.

"Mmm."

Gently, John reached over to stroke Aeryn's soft dark hair.

"God," he thought in one of the few moments of perfect contentment that they were allowed, "I can never get enough of her."

He whispered in Aeryn's ear, so that only she could hear him, "I'm never letting you go, Aeryn. I love you."

She sighed low and soft and snuggled closer to him. John felt the curious sensation of his heart racing at Aeryn's nearness, and, at the same time, murmuring with contentment. He sighed quietly.

Into the peaceful quiet, Pilot spoke, "The DRD's are now proceeding in their repairs. Be advised, that the comms will be off-line for two arns."

"Repairs?" John asked, just as he heard a brief click of static when the comms shut down.

Aeryn smiled brightly and mischievously as she tilted her head up to look into John's eyes. His deep blue gaze met hers and he smiled in return, his expression full of a sweetly charming mischief of his own. Tenderly, he brushed his lips against hers. When they broke the kiss, John whispered blissfully, "Aeryn, I love you."

A few salty tears slipped unbidden from Aeryn's eyes and traveled down her soft cheek.

John cupped her face in his hands and brought his lips to her warm ones. He could taste the sweet salt of her tears in the kiss. "Hey, hey, hey, what's this?" John asked softly

"John," Aeryn whispered, her breath an intimate blessing brushing his lips. "I don't want to lose you again. I..."

"Baby, you're not going to lose me," John reassured her. "I'm right here, I'll always be right here where I belong, with you." He punctuated his statement with a tender kiss.

Aeryn shifted so that she straddled John, her hips over his. John looked deeply into her ocean blue eyes and took a breath.

"Aeryn, this is going to sound hopelessly sappy," John began. He took a deep breath and lost himself in Aeryn's blue eyes, "This love is like nothing I've ever known, Aeryn. When I look in your eyes, I feel like my heart has finally come home. Every time I'm near you; every time you touch me; every time we kiss; it's like you're speaking right to my heart, even when you don't say anything."

He reached up with both hands to slide them gently through her soft hair, "I belong with you. You are the brightest star in my sky. You're my sun and my moon, and I would be lost without you. I love you. I have always loved you and I will love you forever. There’s only you Aeryn Sun," John said quietly, his voice deep with emotion as he punctuated each statement with a kiss.

Aeryn’s eyes were bright with tears as she whispered, “Everything; every star was leading me to you, John Crichton. I love you. Since the moment we met.”

For a moment, they simply stared into each eyes before John whispered, "Oh Baby, I love you."

"Show me," Aeryn replied and John drew her down to him...
