He wanted you to come with me....
Judgement Day
Kate sat in shock, tears swimming in her eyes, falling softly down her cheeks. She felt numb now, the events of the day tumbling through her mind but she was unable to piece it all together. She had stood there, holding John's hand, listening to the static of the radio, the voices fading...
She had walked over to one of the couches and sat down, pulling her legs up, wrapping her arms around them. She rocked back and forth. John walked over to her and sat down, pulling her into his arms.
"Kate," he said gently, "we're going to be okay. I'm going to take care of you, we'll take care of each other. If what the Terminator said was true, we're going to leave here one day and fight. I'll never stop fighting. And I'll never stop taking care of you. We were meant to be together."
Kate stared at him and suddenly she felt a peace come over her. She leaned into him and let his strength flow into her. Together they clung to one another until sleep took over and they began to heal....
One year later....
John's kiss always made Kate feel like she could do anything. She opened her eyes and smiled up at him.
"So, do you need any help?" she said.
"Actually, I'm done for now. We need to figure out a way to transport all the weapons. We've got to go back up and find out if there are any trucks left. Although I doubt it after the explosion. But maybe there's more. We haven't explored the whole mountain." John said.
"Well, we've got plenty of time for that," Kate said, "and another big job waiting for us is to dig out the maps and figure out where it's likely that survivors are."
"I made a list of some of the places we heard on the radio, you know, Montana Civil Defense, Nellis. There has to be more bunkers."John said.
"I know there are," Kate said, "we just can't leave here yet, though. But I know when we can, you'll have a plan ready."
"You sure have a lot of faith in me, don't you?" John said, smiling at her.
"Of course I do," Kate said, "You've known your whole life you're going to be the leader of the resistance. And even if you're afraid, you've got me now to help. This was always our destiny. By the time we're able to leave here, the machines will be in full control. We've got our work cut out for us."
John grabbed her and kissed her hungrily.
"God, I love you, Kate," he said, "I can't imagine how I'd be if I didn't have you with me. The Terminator taught me to never stop fighting but you give me the strength to want to fight."
"I didn't want to believe what he said, John", Kate said, "but you're not a mess. Not anymore. I love you more every day and I'll be your wife, your second-in-command, your lover, the mother of your children, all you want me to be."
John swung her up into his arms and carried her out of the weapons room into the hallway. As he walked down toward the room where they slept he smiled at her.
"If it's okay with you, how about we do something about that lover part?" he said.
"That's very okay with me," Kate said, "but dinner's going to be late."
"I'm not hungry," John said, "not for food anyway."
"Good," Kate said, "I love you, John."
