And finally the truth
Disclaimer: As much as I would like to, I don't own anything associated with Babylon 5
A/N: Just a little fic that came to me when I was supposed to be studying chemistry.
Summary: Delenn tells John about the beginning of the Earth-Minbari war
She cries out in the night. In her dreams she replays her mistakes and the war begins again and again.
She sits up in bed, her nightdress sticking to her. Her husband tosses in bed beside her. She smiles when she sees him. She always does. But then she remembers what haunts her dreams and the secret she keeps.
Just then John sits up beside her, fully awake now.
"Delenn, honey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong John. Go back to sleep."
He raises one of his expressive eyebrows. "And here was me thinking Minbari didn't lie. I can tell something is bothering you. You might as well tell me."
She hesitates, thinking about answering. To do so would tell him of her great mistake and risk loosing him. Not answering would keep her secret safe but it would continue to eat at her. She was scared. Not scared, she tells herself, just wary and unsure of the consequences.
The look on his face is so loving and accepting that her decision is made for her. After all he had told her of his previous marriage and their love had survived. This was just the same, wasn't it?
He smiles reassuringly at her and, haltingly, she begins to speak.
A/N: there is might be more to come but I've really got to study now. Feedback would be nice.
