Reunion
Liz could not help but have a small smile at Greer's enthusiasm. She could afford to relax a little but she knew that the only real way she could relax was when she saw Nick's face again.
She offered the sergeant a small smile, knowing that Nick was only on the other side of the hull, "What can I say it's a hobby. The only present I want is Nick returned."
The sergeant could see how much the idea that appealed to her. He gave her a cheeky grin, "Just remember to keep any meetings PG until you're in your own quarters."
She offered him a wry smile, "I'll do my best to contain myself but I offer no promises. . . "
Her voice trailed off as she saw the other alien vessel finally come to a stop. She was joined by an anxious Matt obviously waiting to meet his partner. She honestly could not remember the minutes afterwards just the overwhelming joy of knowing that Nick was actually here with her.
She ran forward and engulfed him in hug. Nick was more than happy to reciprocate and she heard his soft Scottish tones.
She reluctantly raised her head from his shoulder, "Are you injured?"
"No, I'm good. I'm more worries for the lass but Lt Johnson seems to have her in hand."
She gave him a soft smile and her hand squeezed his, "Good lets get out of here."
She turns to Colonel Young with a defiant look, "For the next eight hours unless we're going to die we don't want to be disturbed.
The Colonel gave the feisty scientist a bemused look,, "I'll make sure that is understood."
Liz gave him a searching look wondering if they were finally beginning to reach an understanding. At this very moment she was preferring to drag Nick back to their quarters and lose herself in him. The idea seemed to be one shared by Rush because as soon as they got through the doors. She found herself pushed up against the wall as Nick tried to climb inside her. It was a great irony that for two geniuses thought became irrelevant as good old fashioned touch became a better form of communication.
