AN: Expect the end every soon and with the 4-day thanksgiving weekend I'm getting I might be able to finish my math report and this story (maybe even start a new one) but no promises.

Chapter 13

Jesse sat in the mess smiling for the first time in a long time. She had walked. Granted they were only a few steps but she had walked. Hope now ran though her veins. Once again it was a common as the Naquadah and blood in her body.

"I'm so happy for you." Jonas said later as she once again and more successfully walked on the balance.

"Thanks." Jesse responded walking with less strain then before.

Jonas moved the hair that was in her face as she went to get back on the wheel chair but then stopped.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing." Jesse responded with a positive smile. "Help me get my feet firmly on the ground." She said and grabbed his shoulders lightly planting her feet off the pointed position she went into right before sitting on the chair.

Luckily, for Jesse she was small and light so Jonas didn't fall over when she put herself on him. As she slowly picked up her feet and took little steps he moved back to give her more room.

She slowly loosened her grip on his shoulders and moved less then gracefully with half support coming from Jonas and the rest of support coming from her. She had walked half way out the room when Jonas noticed her let go completely of him.

Jesse walked a bit for herself until like a little toddler learning to walk she fell back into the protecting arms of Jonas.

"I did it." She said with a smile on her face.

"Yes and you almost hurt yourself." Jonas said but with a smile very equal to Jesse. He put her back on her feet and she slipped back into his arms leaving them facing each other with their noses almost touching.

The desire to kiss was over-whelming but just as they were going to Daniel walked into the room. He cleared his throat and they pulled apart but Jesse almost fell on her back. Jonas made a quick rush to get her but ended up breaking her fall as he fell down too.

Jesse started laughing. Jonas was nursing his head that had fallen on the floor. Daniel looked shocked.

"You walked?" asked Daniel.

She nodded with a smile before starting to support Jonas's head, which he was rubbing. She sat up on her own this time and looked at both of them with a smile on her face.

AN: Please review next one coming soon!
