Briana's POV

Shocked at the sudden burst of emotion Jamie was showing, I just stood there in his arms. When I didn't respond he pulled back and looked at me. Regret and confusion danced across his face. Finally recovering, I said "I don't wanna leave you again, Jamie." I stepped back into his arms, wrapping mine around him and resting my head on his broad chest.

You grew up so much, Jamie. I still can't believe that I'm hugging you again….after all these years….

"Then don't leave," his whispered against my hair. He pulled me tighter against him and I closed my eyes.

"Jamie…I…" I didn't know what to say when we were interrupted by someone clearing their throat by the door. I tried to jump away from Jamie but he didn't let me go. Instead, he turned and put his arms around my shoulders.

"Hey, Doc!" Jamie said cheerfully.

"Hello, Jamie," Doc replied, curiosity filled his tone. He nodded towards me, "Briana." He was standing in the door way of the hospital holding a piece of bread. "You missed dinner, Jamie." He said as he walked towards his desk, "Beef soup."

"Mmmm, sounds delicious!" He started pulling me towards the door. "I think me and Briana will go grab some before it's all gone."

Quickly, we shuffled out of the door and walked towards the kitchen, I think. I still didn't have these passage ways down yet. I was surprised I found the hospital on my own earlier.

Jamie slowed down but didn't remove his arms from my shoulders. I wrapped one arm around his waist and leaned against him.

He stopped walking and turned towards me. I could barely see him in the darkness of the cave. I could see his eyes though. From his eyes, I could tell he was unsure of what to say…but he needed to say something…

Jamie's POV

I need to say something... I just didn't know what. I was staring at her like an idiot. I took a deep breath and hoped I didn't make a bigger fool of myself than I already have.

"Bree…uhm…look I'm sorry for what I said back there. I didn't…." I trailed off, not knowing exactly what to say. Maybe she didn't miss me like I missed her. The thought came unbidden into my head and it crushed me.

"Jamie, don't be sorry." She stepped closer to me. Her eyes pierced mine and she grabbed my hand. "I've missed you more than anything. I thought about you all the time." I could see her teeth as she smiled. "I can't believe I found you!" She gave me a hug and I held her tightly. Her body molded against mine. She fitted so perfectly in my arms.

I pulled my head back slightly and put my forehead against hers. "Please…don't go..." I closed my eyes and felt her arms slide around my neck. I tightened my grip on her waist, bringing her a step closer. I opened my eyes and stared into hers, which were only inches away. "Please?" I whispered again. My heart began to pound as I leaned my head closer to hers, slowly closing the distance between us. I watched her eyes flutter close like they did when we were in the field. My heart skipped a beat and her arms pulled my head down slightly. I closed my eyes and felt her breath tickle the hairs above my lip.

But then she pulled back. I opened my eyes. "What is it?" Disappointment filled my tone.

She was silent for a second. "Did you hear that?" she asked.

"No…" I said. I just wanted to get back to what we were doing before. We keep getting interrupted.

She stayed very still, listening.

"I don't hear any-" I was cut off my Jeb's voice piercing the air.

"SEEKERS!"
