* Nervous *
The bacta fluid slid off Jaina's skin onto the ice cold tiled floor of the refresher. Automatically, the heater turned on, but Jaina left in such haste the heat never had the chance to brush against her skin. Using the Force she opened the door. It swished open and Jaina only slowed to slip on her robe.
"Hi," the still weakened teen said. Kyp turned around and noticed her presence was closer to him.
Her skin was white from being submersed under for so long. His hands itched to hold her close, but kept his longing hands to his side and smiled instead. A slight limp could be seen when she walked over to him. "Good—" Hurrying to her side he caught her gently in his arms when she suddenly tripped over part of her robe, nearly falling on her back. Lowering both of them to the ground, Kyp gazed into Jaina's eyes. "To see you."
His heart was pounding non-stop. What else could he say? Kyp still felt so guilty for what he had done to her, had caused her. Tears were already forming in his green eyes. Once again in front of her. Of all possible timing?

For the first time in a month, Jaina was able to feel the comfort of warm arms hold her. Leaning her head against his chest she heart his heart thud furiously out of his chest. Keeping her eyes closed she savored the peaceful moment in his arms. Then something wet fell on to her eyelashes.
Blinking her eyes open she stared up and saw that the water had fallen from Kyp's eyes. Shock over came her. "What is it Kyp? Why the tears?"
He did not answer her immediately, but with patience the response came. "Why? I did this too you. If I had not been so insensitive to you and just stopped to think about other people's feelings this would have never happened."
"Kyp, I don't know where our paths might lead us in the future, but right now? After everything we have gone through it was for a reason. If this never happened, then both of us would never have became what we are." She added in a whisper. The statement caught his attention and he looked down into her soft eyes. "I already forgave you. Now you have to forgive yourself."
"I know…"
"Then you should know that I don't plan on loosing you ever again."
He chuckled with tears in his eyes. "I don't ever want that to happen with you either." Taking a deep breath his slowly brought his lips to hers, kissing her tenderly, and for the first time from his heart. Their connect with each other seemed to grow brighter through the Force. His soul began to flood with an amazing joy he had never felt before, almost like he was flying but not in a ship. It blew his mind.
She returned his kiss, and they lost track of time.
