10. Happiness came with a price

He woke up with a start, gasping. He thought it was just him. He was laying in Med Bay when Phlox checked on him. He looked up at him. "What's happened?" He asked. He was worried because he couldn't remember. It was like his memories had been wiped clean.

"You have suffered from a severe trauma, Lieutenant. You and Commander Winchester were on a shuttlepod with a ambassador when you got attacked." Phlox responded. He was addressing the brain damage he was seeing because it didn't make sense to him. He has never seen this extent of brain damage and the person survive.

Kalista herself had sort of just been going through the motions. Waking up, Eating, Working, training. And repeat. She hadnt been the same since the accident had left her husband without his memories of her. It's been a long three months. She was beginning to feel lost.

It was like her heart had been ripped from her chest and was still beating. She didn't know how to feel. She was happy he was alive but she was scared and alone now. He wasn't gone but her Malcolm was. Her funny and loving Malcolm was gone. It just hurt her that she had to push through the days.

Taking a sip of the bourbon chef had let her bring back to her quarters, she laid on the bed twirling her wedding ring. As she waited for something to click.

He was watching the Wedding Video again. She was beautiful. He twirled his wedding band. "She's beautiful. How could I forget her?" He asked as she watched the video slow down on her face. He then got up and went to her quarters. He stepped inside and kissed her as he laid on the bed.

He kissed her deeply. He remembered he loved her and he slowly began to regain his memories of her. She was his Kalista. She remembered every little detail of her body as they kissed on the bed.

They were sharing the bourbon after a while. "I thought you'd never come back to me." She stroked his cheek with her thumb. "I'm not fully back to Malcolm you love." He responded and kissed her cheek.

It was finally coming back to him and he didn't want to lose her again.
