"You should get some rest." Kara whispered when Danny yawned for what seemed like the 100th time in the last hour. It was in the middle of the night, they were all on their way to a full recovery, and even though everyone was feeling a lot better Dr. Scott, Rios and Tophet insisted that they stay for the night in case there were any kind of complications.

"No can do." Danny simply shook his head as he continued to caress the back of her hand with his thumb. He had no idea for how long he had been holding her hand, but he had no plans of letting it go anytime soon.

Stubborn Seal, Kara thought to herself as she looked up into his blue eyes. "Danny we're fine you don't have to stay." Kara tried again after Danny closed his eyes for more than just a couple of seconds. "I'm not going anywhere until..."

"Seriously Danny you've been up for what now? Over 2 days! Go and get some sleep. It's not like anything can happen in here." She raised her voice just a little bit trying not to wake up everyone around them. Kara loved that Danny took care of her, and it was so sweet that he wouldn't leave her side, but she also knew that he was tired. He had to get some sleep one way or another.

"KFC made a point there, buddy. Go and get some sleep." Tex muttered and they both looked over to Tex who was facing them.

"Since I'm outnumbered here… I guess I should go." Danny said ignoring her questioning look. "I'll see you for breakfast?" "Hope so." Kara replied with a weak smile as she was still holding onto his hand. Even though so she was telling Danny to leave, she wanted him to stay - or at least that was what Kara's hand was telling him. And on top of all that had happened, she desperately wanted to kiss him again. It had been weeks since Danny told her that they should keep their relationship solely professional.

"Hey how is it going?" Kara asked seeing Danny's unreadable expression.

"Kara, I have to tell you something." Danny replied taking her hand into both of his. Kara just looked at him trying to figure out what he would say. "You're pregnant."

"What?" She asked in disbelief.

"We're having a baby and it will be born immune."

After that everything was like a blur to her, she felt so happy for so many reasons. They are having a baby. And that baby, their baby, will be immune to the virus that had taken so much away from them.

Our baby, Kara thought to herself with a soft smile on her face.

"I love you…both." Danny whispered gently squeezing her hand to rip her out of her thoughts.

"I love you too." Kara replied with a smile. "Good night sweetheart." Danny said as he let go of her hand and got up. Kara looked after him until he was out of the lab and then out of the hanger.

"I gotta tell you girl, he got it bad for you. Like really bad." Tex said and Kara turned around to lie on her side. "I know." Kara replied with a smile. "So KFC, huh?" she asked raising her eyebrow.

"I was messing with him the other night we came back from Nicaragua. I told him that I already knew which girl he was sweet on, but I didn't want to be obvious so I made you KFC without the C." Tex explained and Kara had to laugh. "How did you know?" "When Danny was showing me the Decks and we ran into you he gave me the whole "no fraternization" talk. I thought he was serious about it at first, but when we were out of water, sitting in that hanger, the way you guys looked at each other - I just knew what was going on. Trust me good old Tex here is an expert on those kind of looks." "Unless it's about her." Kara said looking over to Dr. Scott. "That's a different story. Do you really think I'm getting under her skin?" He asked as he recalled Kara's comment from last night. "Like I said it's hard to tell." Kara replied closing her eyes, she was tired and exhausted from the past few days. "Yeah, it is." She heard Tex saying and then she felt asleep.
