"Where did you go when you were gone," Aeryn asked as she threaded her long fingers through his shorn hair. She noticed the touch of gray at his temple and was sure whatever he had been through had caused this.

"I went to hell and back and a few places in between," John told her. Aeryn was lying next to him with her elbow propped on a pillow and her head resting in her hand. She was so beautiful it hurt. Her gray-blue eyes were staring at him with such intensity and love. "I thought if I wrapped myself up in the wormhole research I could forget everything that happened, but I couldn't."

"Did you miss her?" It was a question Aeryn had to ask, for even though he told her she was Aeryn Sun, there was still doubt in her heart.

"I missed you." John tugged a strand of her dark raven hair away from her face and rubbed it between his thumb and forefinger. "God, did I miss you."

"What happened to you?" Aeryn pointed to the gray forming in his hair.

"Time happened," John said letting out a rush of air. "Time I wasted. Time I should have been spending with you. Spending with the boys."

"They have really taken to you," Aeryn said rubbing her finger down his bare chest. She splayed her hand over his chest and felt him, just felt him breathing and his heart beating in his chest. It was her way of reminding herself that he was real and here with her. "The boys have been missing you. Missing having a father."

"And I missed being one." John put his hand over Aeryns and squeezed. "But I promise, I'll make it up to you and them."

"I know you will." Aeryn sighed and laid her head on his shoulder. John wrapped his arm around her shoulder and held her close.

"Hum," Aeryn said with a sigh.

"What?" John turned his head to try and see Aeryn's face.

"I was just thinking about the dream I had when I first discovered I was pregnant.." Aeryn lifted her head off John's shoulder and moved to rest her chin on his chest. "She came to me, the other me, and told me one of the twins I carried was the baby she lost."

John's eyes grew wide and his mouth opened in shock. "She spoke to you?"

"I'm not sure," Aeryn said with hesitation. "It could have just been a dream, but it felt real. She told me to take care of you and the boys."

"It would be nice if it happened," John said with a smile. "If she found peace."

"I'm sure she did, John," Aeryn said stroking his cheek. "She had your love."

"Just as you do," John told her. "You know that, don't you? That I love you with the same intensity and passion that I loved her, that you are Aeryn Sun."

"I know, it's just sometimes..."

"Never have doubts, Aeryn," John said kissing her forehead. "Never."

John turned Aeryn onto her back and covered her with his body. He touched his lips to hers in a soft caress and licked her lips with his tongue. He felt himself grow hard from just the slightest touch of her. He could feel a burning sensation ripple through this whole body and his breath begin to quicken with the need for her.

She was already bare from their earlier bout of lovemaking so John just dipped his head and found one of Aeryn's breasts. He opened his mouth to take the whole nipple and clamped his teeth around her breast tugging ever so slightly. He could hear Aeryn moan in pleasure and he smiled with his mouth still wrapped around her breast.

Moving further down, John trailed tiny kisses down her stomach. It was as toned as he remembered, but held a slight roundness. A leftover remnants of her pregnancy, and he also noticed faded stretch marks that lined her abdomen. He had missed her growing ripe with his children. Missed feeling them tumble inside her. Missed his chance to walk down the street with her hand in his and staring at passers-by with a smug grin that said yes he did this. This woman is carrying MY child. My seed caused her to grow heavy with child.

John was preparing to continue his trail of kisses into lower regions when he heard it. First it was just a hazy mumble that he wanted to slap away, but then it grew louder.

"Mommy," the tiny voice said from the comms sitting on the table beside the bed. "Mommy," this time the voice was a little more insistent.

Aeryn pushed John's head away from her and swung her feet over the bed. "Welcome to the world of parenthood." Aeryn smiled down at John as he lay back on the bed with his arms resting above his head, and his need for her proudly saluting her as she dressed quickly.

"Are you coming," Aeryn asked as she slipped her black T-shirt over her head.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world," John said as he rolled off the bed in search of his pants.
