Chapter 4: Pros and Cons She pulled back afraid. He lifted her chin and looking into her eyes said, "We can make this work." She nodded and whispered, "I just need some time." His eyes were serious and said, "I will wait for eternity." Her eyes searched his, and she nodded silently, getting up and leaving behind the happiest man in the universe with a silly grin pasted on his face. Susan paced her quarters not knowing what to do. They were in the middle of the war, she thought, they didn't have time for this. But John and Delenn had made it work, and they were happier than ever. She couldn't do this. Since Nathan she hadn't been with anyone. Never with anyone she felt so strongly about. She couldn't let her emotions rule her. Yet, for the first time since her mother's suicide when she was just ten, they overwhelmed her. For 17 years now she had lived in a shell. Now she didn't know what to do. She yawned deeply, looked at the time piece. Seeing it was 0300, she decided to go to bed. She had to be up in two hours for training with the pilots she was teaching. She would deal with this then. Marcus sat in his quarters in his own world of bliss. He knew this wouldn't be easy. There was the war, and, of course, Susan's own fear of allowing someone close to her since the death of her family in various circumstances. Susan never talked about them. In fact, she rarely talked about anything not work related, let alone herself. However, Marcus had, with the help of some Ranger techniques, hacked into her file, knowing she was the one the second he looked into her eyes. There was the chance that she would reject him. But he could not let that happen. He was not sure he could survive if he did.
