Carol just looked up at him wide-eyed and wondering what had happened to him, Jim knew that look. She was confused. He liked that because it kept her guessing. HE just held her close and told her everything would be fine. That he would always be there for her. Suddenly she turned violent and pushed him away.
"How can you say that!" She screamed at him. "You're going off on you first five year mission in a week! How can you say everything will be alright! You won't even be here! By the time you get back your children will be five years old! That's alright with you? Well, it's not alright with me! Your children are going to grow up without a father!"
"No," Kirk replied soothingly, "They will have a father. I'll send regular letters, one day, I'll keep in touch. They will know who I am, and when I get back I'll spend plenty of time with them."
"But what if something happens to them? What if something happens to me?"
"You will be just fine. I promise."
She walked back to him and let her hold her again, she never failed to feel safe in his arms. He gently swept the her hair out of her face, and gave her a kiss. It never failed to completely knock them both off of there feet.
