A/N: So it seems there is a little more to this story than I first thought... lol Hope you enjoy!
Soon, they parted, both soaked in rain.
Deanna held Will's hand in hers as she walked through the vines and low-hanging branches of the jungle trees. He remained silent as he followed her, knowing there was a reason behind everything she did.
Eventually, she stopped. Upon seeing the falls, his heart filled with the memories of their past, and the warmth of her emotions as well.
"It's been a long time," he said.
"It's where everything changed," she answered, blinking through the droplets of rain clinging to her lashes. "We've come a long way."
Deanna pressed into his side and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Do you ever think about how things could have gone differently?"
"How do you mean?" Will wrapped his arms around her. Not a day had passed since he'd set foot on the Enterprise that he hadn't wondered how many different ways life could have changed had he stayed on Betazed all those years ago. He was curious where his wife's thoughts were leading.
"I can tell you know, Will." She moved away from him, then stepped toward the water's edge. "How would life be if I had chased after you when you left?"
"You mean, you didn't?" he laughed when Deanna shot a perturbed look over her shoulder. Will walked to her and gently placed his hands on her shoulders as he breathed in a lungful of air. "I almost stayed, Imzadi. I almost left Starfleet to be with you, but I was young, and didn't know anything else except my life in the Fleet. I was too scared to try something new, even if it felt like the right choice."
"Is that the only time you've thought about leaving Starfleet?"
The sound of her question hit him in an odd way, twisting deep down in his mind. "Deanna, tell me, what's bothering you? If you need to take a break-"
"I don't know if I want to go back," she stated, and her body seemed to deflate. "After this last mission, and all that happened with Shinzon..."
Will pulled her against him. They - she - had been through so much before leaving the Enterprise, it wasn't surprising that Deanna didn't want to go back. He honestly didn't blame her.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to," he whispered as she melted into him. "Deanna, your happiness means everything to me. You say the word, and I'll follow you wherever you wish."
"What about the Titan?"
He chuckled, "There will be other ships, other ways of life. We'll find our way." Will cupped her face in his hands, then pressed a kiss to her lips. "If you still feel this way when our honeymoon is over, we'll figure it out. Together."
