Well I can't say that I didn't see this coming. Jim and I have been friends for a little over three years. I spend practically all my time with him. At the academy we even shared a dorm room, of course that might have been because Anthony [my original roommate] got sick and tired of being woken up at all hours of the night just so I could patch the kid up again.

It wasn't always a field of roses though. At first I hated the kid. I thought he was an arrogant self-centered pretty boy. But that kid would not leave me alone. I swear to God that Jim was stalking me that first year. Somehow he managed to take EVERY class that I did even though he should have had different classes. And he ate every meal with me in the cafeteria even if the table was full he managed to work a seat in right next to mine.

Needless to say I thought the kid was a pain in the ass. I mean I was supposed to be studying; I'm not a goddamned babysitter. At least that's what I told myself every time I fixed him up after yet another bar fight.

But a little into the second year, I was all alone drinking my sorrows away and crying like a goddamned little girl over my divorce and the loss of my kid. I realized that Jim was a friend that night, he was at the bar with some sexy little Orion, and I was cussing the kid out in my head for his audacity to be having a good time while I felt like shit. But when he noticed me, he left the chick and helped me walk home then he sat and listened to me talk all night about the unfairness of the universe. Then the next morning he never said a word. I just kept thinking that that was my kind of friend.

So when I saw his face after he had been told that he couldn't go onboard the Enterprise I just had to help him [even though I knew it was a bad idea]. And what do you know? He saved the entire planet of earth! Like that damned kid doesn't get enough attention already.

So when I found out that I love him and when I finally got the guts to tell him. And I see his face light up in the biggest smile I've ever seen and his eyes shine with happiness and when he leans in and says 'Thank God' before kissing me, it's really no wonder that I fell in love with him.
