A/N: I'm going to try and get a chapter out once a week. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. I've been so busy and away for so long I feel like I'm out of sync with the story now D: and I need to know if you guys think so too. So please tell me. I'll have another chapter soon! I promise.

Two days later Leonard was back in their room but on strict bedrest. He sat there watching her put on her uniform, which was the dress today since she wasn't being a CCS. Eve looked over, saw him watching her, and went over and sat down next to him, "I'll be back by lunch."

"How's it coming?" He took her hand, feeling her smaller hand in his.

"Well we finally managed to keep the field from coming though the rocks last night, but we still have no idea what the possible signal is or why it affects people the way it does." She sighed, "I'm tempted to bring you a needle to get more blood from me to give to Foreman to see if it wakes him up. We think that his injury along with whatever is talking to them might be why he went into a coma."

Leonard laughed, "Are you sure it wasn't just your rage that put him there?"

"Well it's a possibility, but there's no brain damage." She gave him a light shove with a smile.

"If you want to bring me his scans I can see if anything was missed or needs to be checked again."

Eve bent down placing a kiss to his lips, "Your only job is to get better."

He held her there, continuing to kiss her, despite knowing that she did have to report to Jim, but Jim could wait. Before he'd gotten stabbed he'd only had her back for one day and he knew he had lost even more time now. She knew what he was feeling and she'd wanted to make up for lost time too, but he wasn't healed yet. Pulling away from him got her a frustrated sigh, "Len, you aren't well enough yet."

"I get up and go to the bathroom when you aren't here." He didn't let her get much further away than him.

"I'll think about it." She whispered on his lips, lightly grazing them against his before standing up out of his grip, "I'll see you at lunch!"

He couldn't help but smile at his minx of a wife.

She stared at the rocks in the box, Carol standing next to her and Spock across from her, Jim had already left to get lunch and she knew she should go and see Leonard soon but this got under her skin, most of these attempts have affected her and her marriage, and she knew Spock and Carol felt the same. She sighed not knowing what else to say, "Maybe we should see if Spledia or Moltek would be willing to let themselves connect again…?"

"Would we want to risk that?" Carol looked at her.

"Well I mean they've already been exposed so there's already less of a risk." She looked over at her cousin with an unsure face.

Spock considered it, "If one of the men would be willing we could keep him confined and under constant watch so that he does not sabotage anything once more?"

"But we wouldn't want any key members of the expedition to be near them, since that's who they've been targeting." Carol looked at her, "So that means neither you nor Spock could be there."

Eve looked at Spock, "As long as it's recorded I'm okay with it."

"We should check with Kirk before putting the plan into action." He nodded in agreement.

"What plan?" Jim asked walking in with a drink. They explained what they had come up with and he liked the idea, "I want all key personnel confined to quarters though. Second string does need some extra time in their departments. So once we get an agreement from one of the two everyone will stay in their rooms. The four of us will have a live feed to the room."

"I'm okay with that. My husband could use some supervision." Eve shrugged and Jim knew he was probably being hard headed.

"Well then I guess we should go ask if either of them want to expose themselves again." Carol sighed.

Both men agreed to the trial, they both wanted to make up for what they had done. The four of them talked and decided that they might have better luck if they both did it instead of just one. Techs installed multiple camera in the cells and they were linked to everyone's PADDs and the subjects were each given a rock.

Eve returned to her room with their meal and placed the PADD on the bedside table. Leonard watched her as she set him up a lap tray, "This is a little later than lunch."

"We had an idea and had to implement it to try and figure out what's going on." She said sitting next to him beginning to eat and explain to him what they had come up with.

Leonard listened and when she was done talking he had a grin, "So you're confined to quarters?"

"That's all you get out of that whole story?" She looked at him with a laugh.

"For how long? You'll go stir crazy." He tried to justify himself, "And I'll be the one stuck with you."

She gave him a shove, "Oh shut it."

They finished eating and she put the food on the desk. He watched her walk back and climb back on the bed, "I'm sure there are ways to keep you occupied though."

"Not until you are better." She poked his shoulder. He groaned and she laughed before looking over at the video feed to see one man lying on his bed and the other just staring at the rock. She knew it was her idea but she felt bad for what these men might go through. Letting out a sigh she rolled back over to Leonard and put her head on his shoulder.

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. Leonard knew she felt bad about what was going on, "None of this is your fault."

"It was my idea."

"You need to figure out what's going on and they volunteered for it." He pulled her in for a kiss and she kissed him back. Running his fingers through her hair he tilted her head so that the kiss was deeper, they'd missed each other. Their tongues danced and she lifted herself up over him so that he wasn't straining and was sure not to get pressure anywhere near his wound.

Eve knew that they both wanted more, God how she wanted him, but she knew he needed rest, he had only been out of the medbay for one day. Reluctantly she pulled away from him and he tried to follow her up but she kept him down. He pulled her forehead back down and they had to catch their breath, try to calm themselves. Leonard felt her breath on his cheek and the moment was bliss. His voice was low, almost a whisper, and breathy "I love you."

She gave a quiet laugh, "I love you too."

He tried to pull her back down but she pulled away and laid down next to him, "You can't. Rest."

"How long's that going to last?" He let out a breathy laugh.

"Until you're better." He could tell when she said it that it wasn't what she wanted to say.

He pulled her over to him and put a hand on her cheek, running his thumb gently over the skin. She smiled into the gesture and he felt her relax. Leonard stared at the ceiling and couldn't stop himself, "Eve?"

"Hm?"

"When you were impaled and almost died…did you see anything?"

Eve lifted her head and looked up at him, "What? What do you mean?"

"Did anything flash before it happened?"

"You mean like when they say that your life flashes before your eyes? Like visions?" She tried to clarify.

"Yeah."

"I mean kind of?" He moved a little on his side so they could easily look at each other, "There were flashes of us together, my parents, just all of my happiest memories. Why?"

Leonard hesitates but exhales, "Because I had one before I passed out."

"What was is about?"

"You." She gave him a questioning smile, "You were pregnant and you were more beautiful than ever. I'd never really cared about having kids before I met you. Now all I want is to see you with our baby. It was the most amazing thing. It's all I've been thinking about since I woke up."

She smiled and pressed her lips to his gently, "Boy or girl?"

He gave a small laugh, "Both. They'd be as smart and beautiful as you."

"I want a boy first." She laid her head on the pillow looking at him.

"Why's that?"

"So he can be protective of his sister. Like you and Jay are of me." She smiled.

"I know what we'll name him." He put a lock of hair behind her ear.

"I don't get a say." She jokingly questioned.

"Christopher."

Eves eyes widened and a small, sad smile came across her face, "How about Christopher David?"

"Yeah I like that." Leonard smiled, "Christopher David McCoy."

"It has a nice ring to it. It's a strong name."

"What girls name?"

"I've always like Nova." She looked away a little embarrassed.

"They make a star brighter. I think it fits." He smiled at her and thought for a moment, "Nova….Camellia?"

She laughed, "That's exotic. The complete opposite of Christopher David."

"Well their parents weren't exactly similar when they met."

"They still aren't similar."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." He pressed his lips against hers again.

Eve didn't pull away, she let her body get pulled close to his, ran her fingers through his hair, let him unzip the back of her dress and feel the skin of her side, let her knee run up his leg, and push her body closer to his.

He was surprised when he unhooked her bra and she didn't stop him. Leonard wasn't sure how far his body would let him go but he planned on finding out. When he tried to remove more of her dress he couldn't with her laying on her side, "Take it off. Please."

She could tell in his tone that he wasn't going to over exert himself, that he was going to move slow so that she wouldn't tell him that he needed rest. She pulled away from him and he wasn't sure what she was about to do, until she gave him a lazy eyed smile, lifting the fabric over her head, "Because you said please."

Reaching up he took the straps of her bra down her shoulders before pulling her back down to him. He continued to kiss her, wrapping his arms around her, feeling the bare skin of her back under his hands. It hadn't felt like long to him but his body knew that he had been unconscious longer that it had seemed to his mind. Despite how much he wanted to move faster he took it slow, knowing that she wouldn't be confined to quarters forever, that soon everything would go back to normal, and he would have to wait until the mission was over to truly have time alone with her like this again.

He didn't know if she was moving at the same pace for the same reason or because she didn't want him to hurt himself, but it was really just her letting go and following his lead. As long as he wasn't in pain she wanted him to have what he wanted, he could inhale her and she would be happy, his kisses felt like he was slowly doing so and she was in heaven. Slowly his kisses moved down her cheek to her neck and when he was where her neck met her collar bone he began to suck on the skin, long and drawn out, and her shuttered breaths gave him chills. Her grip on him grew tighter but her arms were nowhere near his injury, she made sure of that, she never wanted this to end.

Eve pressed her hips towards the bulge she could feel growing and he pulled her tighter, still sucking on her neck. She had almost lost him this time and wanted him more than anything, more than air, so she didn't care when she could tell he had left a mark by the time he moved on from her neck. When he pushed her body slightly up the bed so that her breasts were closer to him she moaned as his lips wrapped around a nipple. He applied the same slow suction and her grip on him grew tighter, she used her leg to pull his hips against hers. Leonard could tell by the movement of her hips she wanted more, so he reached down and used her butt pulling their hips flush together, and he could feel the warmth coming from her through his boxers. Her breath was unsteady as she placed her cheek on the top of his head, placing kisses on his hair.

"Len." She whispered as they ground against each other. He released her nipple and looked up at her. Her eyes were barely open and her face was flush. She gave him a small smile and placed her hand on his cheek, "I've missed you."

Leonard returned the smile and she pressed her lips back to his. He held her close and felt her hand on the band of his boxers. He could feel her hesitating, not sure if he was okay enough to go any further but he didn't feel any pain. He slid his hand into her panties, feeling how wet she was he knew she wanted it as bad as he did and there was no going back for either of them. Breaking their lips apart he whispered with a teasing smile, "I'm not allowed to move, so you need to take them off."

"Are you su-" He cut her off by pushing two fingers in her. Eve was frozen as his finger knew exactly where to hit and his thumb joined in the movement on her clit. Her grip grew tighter on his hip and the feeling of him all around her she knew he was sure because he would never tease her this far.

He didn't stop, he continued slowly moving his fingers in and out of her and soon her release overcame her but he didn't stop the rhythm of his fingers, prolonging her orgasm. When he removed his hand she slid her last piece of clothing off and moved back to where they're hips were level. Leonard pulled her close and began kissing her again, he could tell the toll that him being unconscious had taken on her and he wanted to make sure that she knew he wasn't going anywhere.

Eve moved her hand down into his boxers releasing his length. Before she could do anything else he pulled her leg over her hip and he ran across her wetness. Both of their breathing faltered and they pressed their lips together before he slowly pushed into her. She had always felt close to him when they were making love but she had never felt like this with him before. It was as if for the first time they were one, they were perfectly in sync as he slowly moved in and out of her, it seemed as if even their hearts were beating together.

Leonard had to move slowly because he didn't want to hurt his stomach but he could feel every part of her because of it. Their lips grazed over each other as their short breaths passed across the others faces. He had her body completely pressed against his, they had never moved this slowly before, and this made him know they would truly always be together. The way they made each other feel was something that could never die, never go away.

She pressed her lips to his as she felt herself reaching the peak again. He tangled his hand in her hair as he felt her begin to tighten around him and tried to control himself but unable once she reached her climax and he began to spill inside of her.

They didn't move, they remained wrapped together long after their orgasms had passed, kissing and letting out soft laughs. After a while she looked up at him with a smile. He gave her a questioning one back, "What?"

"I remember when you were super grumpy all the time and nothing could make you smile." She moved her thumb over his cheek, "And I think you've laughed more today than the whole first year I've known you."

"I've been given a very good reason to smile."

"Oh and what's that?"

"You." He said placing a kiss on her nose and she laughed.

They fell asleep like that and they woke up like that. She gave him a kiss and didn't think to look at the screen as she got out of the bed and went to put a shirt on. He watched as she walked around the room. He knew she wasn't wearing any underwear and so when she bent down to grab him new bandages a smile grew on his face. She stood up and saw him grinning at her and shook her head as she undid the tape on his current bandage, "Don't get smug. Or think that that will happen again until you're healed."

"You said it wouldn't happen at all until I healed." He watched as she cleaned up the moisture that had accumulated under the bandage.

"It was a moment of weakness." She glared at him, "But if that's the kind of sex we have when I'm confined to quarters I may have to start hitting people so it happens more often. Once your better, of course."

She placed the new bandage on and he pulled her over for a kiss, "Or again after breakfast."

"No." She tried to scold him, but she turned around, pulling on a pair of pants and smiled looking over her shoulders, "Maybe after dinner."

"I hate you." He laughed, knowing that it would be harder to convince her again.

"Uh-huh." She laughed as her com went off. She walked over and answered it, "CCS McCoy."

"Princess, it's Jim."

"Hey what's up? Going crazy stuck in your room yet?"

"I've just been watching a lot of stuff on the net." He responded.

She shook her head, "Jay I don't want to know that."

"Sure you don't. Just like I don't want to know how your night with Bones was….because I'm sure you had an extra bone in you."

"Oh my god stop!" She laughed, "Good line though."

"Yeah I tried to get him to use it on you once but he was too embarrassed." Jim laughed and Eve looked back at Leonard with a disappointed face.

"What?" Her clueless husband asked.

"I'm ashamed at your lack of not listening to Jays creativity when it came to hitting on me." She shook her head and went back to listening to the com, "So what's up? Or were you just lonely?"

"Have you been watching the feed?"

"No. I just woke up. Why?" She said looking at the PADD.

"Moltek has already been effected. The voices are speaking through him."

She clicked on the feed from Molteks cell making it full screen, "That was fast"

"Spock thinks it's because they had already been in contact with the rocks before." Jim paused.

"What did they say?" She could tell he was keeping something from her.

"They want to talk to someone." He forced the words out of his mouth.

"Who?" She expected it would be him as the captain of the ship.

"You."
