It had been 15 hours since Ethan had shot Becker in the ARC hallway it took quite some time for anyone to get to him. The whole ARC had been on red alert and needed every man out looking for Ethan, while most of the medics had been ordered to stay in the medical offices for safety.

After Ethan escaped the building with Emily, the medical staff were able to get to Becker and quickly brought him through the ARC to the medical wing. Once there they checked his vitals to ensure there was no immediate threat to his life.

The moment the team had cleared the incursion and locked the anomaly Jess rushed to Becker's side. She had been so worried about the soldier the whole time she was directing the team. It killed her to have to wait to check on him. All she wanted was to run to him the moment Ethan had left.

Jess sat in Becker's private room waiting for him to wake, the whole team had already been here to check on him. They stayed as long as they could but soon got very tired. They had after all spent a whole day chasing around Terror birds and Ethan/Patrick.

Jess was getting bored and restless waiting here. She was trying to think of something to do to keep her mind occupied when an idea popped in her head, she turned to Becker with a grin and before she realized what she was doing her hand was rubbing the stubble of his face.

When she didn't wake him she got more daring and continued her exploration. Her hand rubbed up to his forehead toward his lovely hair. She had dreamed of running her finger through it. She spent some time entwining her fingers in it. After a while she moved her fingers back down again using just the tips of her finger she traced her way down to his lips.

She hesitated slightly a little worried she was pushing it and he would wake, after a moment she thought what the hell and slid her fingertips onto his top lip, she loved the feel of the softness under her touch the way his lip twitched when she barely used pressure.

She continued these movements for what seemed like hours but was nothing more than a few moments. She thought a second that she would love to see what would happen if she kissed those perfect lips and as if like magic the moment she thought it, her lips slowly attached to his.

Her breath caught in her throat as she deepened the kiss, horror struck her when she realized that this kiss wasn't one sided, the heart monitor attached to Becker was beeping faster. As she was about to pull away Abby, Connor and one of the nurses burst through the door and stopped in their tracks by what they saw before them.

"OMG! Jess you're taking advantage of Becker!" Connor half screamed in fake horror.

"I was…"Jess tried to defend but was interrupted by Connor

"Oh I know you were."He said

"No Connor! That wasn't what I was going to say, I would never take advantage of him!" she yelled purely out of embarrassment.

"That isn't what it looks like to us Jess."Abby said smirking.

"Yeah, what did your lips become fused with his during his recovery." Connor said clearly enjoying this moment he had walked in on he loved to give people a hard time.

"No Connor I just…well I….umm." Jess tried to get the words out but her voice was failing her

"Well come on than Jess out with the truth or we might have to call the authorities." Connor said trying not to laugh as Jess was on the verge of panic

"No I was not taking advantage of him I just kissed him ok Connor it was just a kiss, you kiss people you love don't you." She said a little too loud than she would have liked.

Everyone turned their attention to their Captain as the heart monitor started beeping faster again and realized that Becker had his eyes wide open. Jess was the first to speak

"How long have you been awake?" She asked very worriedly

"Long enough." Becker said very uncomfortable with all the eyes on him.

"Were you awake before they came in?" Jess asked hoping he said no, but when he looked down she knew he had been awake a little longer than 'long enough'.

As everyone realized the same thing Jess did, all eyes locked on her, she was overwhelmed with emotion; angry that everyone was here to witnessed this, hate that they were still staring at her, love for Becker, embarrassment that she was still just standing there looking idiotic doing nothing, and confusion as to why Becker was just sitting there the same way she was. It was all too much and she bolted from the room, leaving all eyes and questions on Becker.
