This is it! The last chapter! I was thinking about doing this story, but in Daniel's POV, but I don't know if anyone would be interested in reading it. If you are let me know. Same thing for a sequel, cause I was debating about that as well.

Chapter Six

Epilouge

I Know How to Love Because of You

"What are you doing here?" Kerri asked, still in shock at seeing Daniel on her front porch.

"I need to talk to you." he took a step forward.

"There's nothing else to talk about." Kerri willed more tears not to fall.

"I think there is."

"Daniel. It's late. I'm exhausted. Can we please do this tomorrow?" Kerri definitely felt she didn't have the strength to fight with him agian.

"No. I have to talk to you, and I didn't get to say much earlier." Kerri didn't reply, but she knew the look on her face told him she'd given in. "Can we go inside?"

Kerri nodded and unlocked the door, leaving Daniel inside. He followed her on his crutches to the living room and they sat down. They sat silently at first, each one staring at a different random object in the room. Kerri's gaze was fixated on the coaster that was sitting on the end table.

"How long have we been dating?" Daniel finally asked.

"It would have been six months today." Kerri answered quietly.

"Six months? Wow. I never thought I would have fallen so deep in love in six months." Daniel said thoughtfully. Kerri looked up at Daniel, looking him in the eye for the first time since they got there. The look didn't last long and she was staring at the coaster again. She picked it up and started fiddling with it. Daniel gently took it from her and she smiled a little. He hated it when she was fidgity, Because fidgity meant she was nervous. Kerri let her hands lie still on her knees, still not looking up at Daniel.

"What took you so long to get home?" he asked curiously, conversationaly.

"Made a few stops along the way" was all answer she gave him. A few more silent minutes went by and Kerri was getting more uncomfortable as the time passed.

"Kerri, I can't just let you walk out of my life like this."

"Dani..."

"Please let me finish." he cut her off softly. "I'm in love with you. Before I met you, Jack would have to drag me off base just to get some fresh air, because I was so deep in my work. But now, I can't wait to come home and see you. I still love my job, but now I actually have something to live for. You. I love you, Kerri. Please don't leave me." he told her, emotion filling every word.

"Daniel, I can't..." Kerri shook her head, tears threatening to fall again.

"I know. It doesn't seem fair. I get all this out of the relationship and you...you just get me."

"You know what's not it, Daniel. I love you, it's just..."

"I know. That's why I told General Hammond that I quit." Kerri looked at him in shock.

"Daniel!" she cried angerly. "Why would you do that?"

"Relax, Kerri. He didn't let me quit." Kerri's anger faded into confusion, causing Daniel to smile.

"I told him I couldn't go on lying to you, and I wouldn't, so after I told him I quit, he made me an offer I couldn't refuse." he paused. She looked at him expectantly. "If I could tell you everything. And I mean everything about what I do, would you reconsider going to New York and maybe stay here with me?"

"What do you mean, everything?"

"All of it. The real story behind all the injuries, the real story about what I do at Cheyanne Mountain. Everything." Kerri thought before answering. "But I have to warn you. It's big. There's a reason it's all top secret. You wouldn't be able to tell anyone. Anyone. It's a lot to think about. Once I tell you, you can never go back to bing blissfully ignorant about it." Daniel looked her in the eye.

She paused. It was a lot to think about. She wanted to know, she'd be lying if she said she wasn't curious. But what would it mean? This sounded like it was really big. Change her world big. Was she ready for that? She took a deep breath, looked the love of her life in his beautiful blue eyes.

"Tell me."
