Alright there is going to be a little bit of sexually things mentioned, nothing bad nowhere near M but I thought you had better be warned just in case, if you don't wish to read this chapter PM me and I'll tell you what happens, but it shouldn't offend anyone. :D

I wake up with Skye's head positioned right under my neck, smiling I notice her arm placed across my stomach her hand resting in mine, fingers entwined as if our hands were made for each other's. I twitch my fingers accidently while I'm looking at Skye and she moans pressing closer to me still fast asleep.

I kiss her head softly and she wakes up her eyes quivering open looking at me with a broad smile on her face.

"Good morning." She whispers, tightening her grip on my hand and tilting her head up to kiss my cheek.

Once she pulls away I press my lips to hers sitting up she does the same she runs her hands though my hair wrapping her arms around my neck, she pushes me back down on the floor of the rover lying on top of me, our lips never leaving each other's. She fiddles over the zipper of my jacket, final pulling it all the way down and taking it off but then I realise what she is doing. I take my hand from her waist and I use it to push myself up.

"Skye..." I whisper pulling away from her; I search her face as she sighs.

"Not again Josh, don't tell me you have another girlfriend and we can't be together because you love her." She smiles laughing.

"Skye, you know I love you, but no, not that, not now, trust me I want to, really I do but..." I run a hand through my hair.

"You don't want me to get pregnant?" She asks, a half smile playing across her face.

"That and, I want to get married first. I know it sounds stupid but I was brought up that way, and I think it would be better to wait, make it a memorable night." I smile.

"It's not stupid, it's actually really sweet. You'd better hurry up and marry me mister, I won't be able to wait forever." She grins, rubbing her hand over my cheek.

"Yes ma'am." I smile and press my lips to hers again, knowing this time we won't take it to the next level. Suddenly I hear footsteps, and push Skye from me, running my hand though my hair I smile as Skye does the same trying to make herself look presentable.

"Mr Shannon. Miss Tate." It was Reilly. I smile as she addresses us in such a proper manner.

"Yes Corporal?" She smiles back.

"Breakfast is served and there are some people there Taylor thinks you should see." She says looking at us, I raise my eyes brows and pick up my jacket, putting it back on. I follow Skye out of Taylor's rover.

We approach the eating rover; I get some pieces of fruit. Skye and I sit under our tree beginning to eat.

"Everyone we have some new members of our little army." Taylor calls. Out of the trees comes Mum Dad, my mouth hits the floor, then comes Maddy and Zoe hand in hand. I jump up, Skye following me over as I run into their arms.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Let Taylor explain." My dad says, smiling. As I stand back my shock slowly fading I look at Skye, she looked sad, but smiled any way, and I realise she must miss her mum so much, being the only family she has.

"Once our younger Shannon, Josh, left with Skye, Jim went to Mira and demanded that they were found and brought back to Terra Nova, Mira refused and send him to the brig after hitting her..."

"You hit MIRA?" I ask, interrupting. "Sorry." I whisper to Taylor he gives me a small nod and I stand there shocked, smiling slightly as dad nodded.

"After a few days Wash broke Jim out and helped them get to us, but sadly Wash didn't make it and the phoenix group shot her." Shocked gasps come from almost everyone except me, I stand there I feel tears well up. Washington was so nice and after she helped me get out of the bar, I still owed her. I swallow my tears and listen while Taylor continues. "We met the Shannon's at the tree line and now we have more hope of getting the phoenix group out of our home." Taylor finishes and cheers erupt from everyone, just before everyone returns to their business Taylor continues.

"WAIT!" He called "There is one more person who Wash helped escape before she died, along with the Shannon's she saved..." Taylor stopped his sentence as a strong woman broke through the trees, Skye's eyes filled with tears.

"MUM!" She screamed running up to her, embracing her in a heartfelt hug. I smile as Skye sobs into her mother's shoulder, mumbling words I couldn't hear.

"Skye's mum, Debora Tate, who was recently cured of her long battle with Sincyllic fever." People cheered as the news was announced. After another moment, people go back to what they were doing and I go and see my family.

After a few minutes Skye re-joins me as I talk with them she sits on the log next to me, wrapping her arms around my waist.

"So Skye, were you happy when our son left Terra Nova to go with you?" My dad says a little rudely. I glare at him.

"Dad, don't." I say to him angrily.

"No it's fine Josh." Skye says. "Look, Mr Shannon, I had no idea that he was going to come until they were moments from pushing me out the gates, I tried to stop him but nothing I could have said would have changed his mind." She smiles at me and I smile back.

"Yeah, dad it's not Skye's fault she didn't even know, plus I'm sure if it was mum you'd do exactly the same thing." I say to him raising my eyebrows.

"That's different son, I love your mother, and we have three kids. Do you think I would just up and leave you guys?" He asks.

"You did it once remember..." I retort.

"Josh!" My mum says shocked.

"Don't Elisabeth." He says glaring at me as I continue.

"By the way, did it ever occur to you that I love Skye?" I ask, before he can answer I go on. "And we don't have any kids I could leave, do we?" I say to him, after he doesn't reply I smile slightly.

"You're young I know it seems like love now, but when you're older you'll realise that it was just a mistake." He insists.

"It's not a mistake and it never will be, one day I'll marry Skye and you'll see." I stand up taking Skye hand we walk away.

"You don't have to be so harsh on your father he was only worried about you and doesn't want you to get your heartbroken." Skye says as we sit back under our tree.

"I know, but can't he be happy for me for once?" I sigh and wrap my arm around Skye's shoulder.

"Give him time. Just let him cool off I'm sure one day he'll see how much we love each other." Skye smiled and kissed my cheek. I look at her and wonder how I can have such a perfect girlfriend.

"I love you." I say smiling.

"I love you too." Skye pressed her lips to mine and I feel someone tap my shoulder I pull my lips from Skye's and look to see Zoe.

"Hey Zo, what's up?" I ask slightly embarrassed.

"Why did you leave?" She asks. She was too young to understand, but I try my best to explain.

"Well, Skye got banished which means she wasn't allowed back in Terra Nova because she killed that bad guy, you remember Lucas." After Zoe nods I continue. "Yeah Skye shot him." I smile looking down at Skye as she goes a little red. "So I went with her, to protect her from those big naught Dinosaurs." I smile as Zoe's mouth dropped open.

"Did you see any Dinosaurs?" She asks shocked.

"Yeah we did." I smile as Zoe's mouth dropped even more open.

"What ones?" She asks.

"Those Slashers, the ones with the sharp tail, the very big ones that we saw when we first came to Terra Nova, the ones that chased commander Taylor and dad." I say, and smile as Zoe's mouth drops even more. "We also saw the nice ones, those tall ones you feed remember?" Zoe nodded. "They are the only ones you would know." I say to her and she nods and sits next to me.

"Was it fun?" Zoe asks.

"Yes and no." Skye grins and I pull her closer into me.

"Why not just yes what was bad?" She asks, I sigh at all the questions.

"We always had to look out for the bad guys who could have found us, and the Dinosaurs, we had to be careful they didn't find us either, and at one point I got split up from Skye which was scary." I finish Skye smiling as she watched me talk to Zoe.

"Wow. That sounds hard." Zoe jumps up and walks away.

"You're great with kids; you'd be a great dad." Skye looks deep into my eyes smiling.

"You'd be an even better mum." I say and Skye laughs.

"So we'll make great parents than?" Skye grins and I nod.

"I guess we will." I smile back and Skye curls into me resting her head on my chest again, I smile looking at her. Then my dad catches my eye as he gets up from a log that he was sitting on next to Taylor, and walks up to us, Skye notices and gets up to leave kissing my cheek she walk over to her mum and Dunham who were having a conversation.

"Hi." I say looking up to him.

"I see the way you look at her you never looked at Kara like that. What's different with Skye?" He asks.

"Well I guess Kara wasn't meant to be, I was young when I was going out with Kara, but it's different with Skye. I'm almost eighteen and being out here with Skye has given us a lot of bonding time. We get along so easily, it's like we were made for each other, I've never been so happy before, she means so much to me." I smile, and he sits next to me putting his hand on my shoulder.

"I was in my twenty's when I met you mother, and you know what?" He asks.

"What?" I ask.

"I didn't even realise how much I liked her until she moved to Chicago." He admitted. "So I went with her." He said, I looked shocked, he'd never told me that.

"Really?" I ask, and he nods.

"Yeah, so I can see why you wanted to come after Skye. I was worried that's why I had a go at you…"

"Sorry..." I cut him off.

"No I should be the one who says sorry I shouldn't have treated you like that." I reply.

I guess we're both at fault." I nod. "We didn't even know why you left." He says, taking his hand from my shoulder looking at me seriously.

"Sorry, but I couldn't let Skye come out here alone, you know how dangerous it is. Imagine if a seventeen year old girl was out here all alone, without any one to protect her, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't do anything." I say.

"I guess you're right. So, what did you two love birds do while you were out here all alone?" He asks. His expression going blank once he realise that we were all alone, a boy and a girl. His face turned white and he looked truly scared. I laugh at him smiling.

"Oh yeah we did that, and Skye might be pregnant..." I say, and I think he was about to pass out, rage burned in his eyes as I hold back my laughter. "I'm joking." I say not able to hold it back I laugh so hard I think I re-break my ribs.

"You had better be." He says seriously. I shake my head.

"Nar we didn't, I told her I wanted to wait until we get married." I smile and he smiles back laughing at how stupid he was.

"Good, wait you want to marry her. Did you propose?" He asks.

"I don't know, I guess." I smile.

"You'd better be joking about that too." He says angrily.

"Why do you hate Skye so much? She has done nothing wrong!" I say grinding my teeth.

"Nothing… So betraying the colony doesn't count, maybe ling to you about it and making you lie to protect her, your right that's nothing." He says crossly.

"You know why she did it, and don't ever let me hear you saying that about her again, your my dad but that doesn't mean I have to stop myself from beating the crap out of you like I did to Lucas." I retort.

"From what I hear it sounded more like he beat the crap out of you, and don't you dare threaten me young man."

"Then don't talk about Skye like that." I narrow my eyes.

"Fine, sorry."

"Apology accepted." I smile.

"So what did you do?" He asks again.

"Ummm, ran, ran a little bit more, met a Slasher took its blade, than did some more running so a lot of running." I smile. "Then we found a great peaceful place and stayed there for a few days. We were going to go fishing when we met a Carno and I ran away making it follow so Skye could get away, eventually jumping over a cliff into the ocean but it jumped after me and drowned. I went to find Skye but I didn't know where she was, then Reilly found me and now are here." I finish, and my dad nods.

"Very long few days then?" He asks and I nod "You really love her don't you?" he asks as he sees me look over at Skye.

"Yeah I do." I smile and he nods.

"Well just be careful I don't want you to get hurt." He says standing up.

"I will." I smile as he walks away; I lie against the tree trunk, closing my eyes. Then I feel someone sit on me, I open one eye to see Skye.

"What was that all about?" she asks smiling as I open my other eye.

"He said sorry for having a go at me, then we had another argument, then he apologised again and said to be careful." I say smiling.

"So the usual." Skye smiles and I grin. "Are you two all good now?" She asks.

"Yeah I think we are." I smile. Suddenly I hear Taylor calling everyone around, Skye gets up taking my outstretched arm and pulling me up.

"We have some news. Mira and the phoenix group are going to reverse the portal, the Sixers are going to stay in 2149 but the phoenix group are going to come at as hard with more reinforcements. I have been informed by a message from the late Alicia Washington that we need to blow up Hope plaza so they can't keep sending back up." Shocked gasps come from everyone. "We have to stop them..."

Cliff-hangers love them. I know you probably don't think that Josh would be the type of person to wait until marriage but I feel like they should wait until later. So what will happen?
