Selena sat in her cabin looking at the same data pad for the 5th time. She knew she had looked at it over and over but she couldn't grasp what this said...she was more than surprised. She was a mixture of excited and happy. Just then Thane walked through her door. She had told him about a month ago that no matter what time it was he was welcome into her cabin whenever he wanted to come up. They had been together since the fight against the collectors. Mordin had been performing tests and had made a cure,it was working.

It had been about three weeks since the end of the Reaper war. Thane had started the cure early,it had saved his life when Kai Leng stabbed him. He wasn't coughing anymore,it made her feel better. He didn't have to stay on the Citadel anymore,he could stay on the Normandy and be treated in their Med Bay.

"Siha,are you well?" Thane asked as he draped his arm around her shoulders. His breathing was no longer raspy and labored. He breathed as well as she did,and it made her one of the happiest people in the world.

"Yeah,I'm okay." She wouldn't tell him what the data pad said. She wanted it to be a surprise. Mordin had agreed to send any reports to her terminal first,then she relayed the news to Thane. So far all the reports had been great...this one was...much different.

"There is something bothering you Siha." He could see through her so easily. She was trying to keep this a secret and in the midst of it was making herself agitated. She just couldn't tell him.

"It's nothing Thane,really." She turned her head to kiss his cheek but he had already moved to her other side. She turned around to meet his lips with her own. It was as if he could read her mind. She started to feel dizzy,she had come to expect the feeling kissing him gave her. It was a hallucinogen that was a little odd at times. She once thought she saw a little Legion jumping on tables in the Mess Hall and tried to catch him. It was embarrasing but everyone else just laughed about it.

She reluctantly pulled away,both of them breathless. "Are you better now Siha?" He asked with a smirk. Selena couldn't help but smile back at him. She bit her lip and covered her face when a sudden rush of embarrassment came through her. She was giggling and she had no idea why. She could hear Thane laughing. He had a way about him that turned her into a giggling school girl and he knew it. He used it against her in many ways.

"I...I'm fine..." She said nervously. She couldn't help the giggle the escaped her mouth again. She heard Thane' rumbling laughter and she started laughing. She laid down on the bed and looked over at Thane. "How come you're still standing?" She asked. He laid down on the bed next to her. She crawled into his lap and laid her head on his chest. She was happy she could do this again without making it harder for him to breath.

"I love you." She said against his chest.

"I love you too Siha."

He started running his hands through her hair. She was falling asleep in no time. She finally had a good dream for the first time in years.
