ACROSS THE FIRE
Brianna buried her face in Lilah's shoulder, crying in relief. After nearly a month of unconsciousness, John was back.
Brianna was dragged into the back of the jumper by Lilah, where Bri then wrapped her arms around her taller lover, and broke down completely.
"I…I, c-can't b-be-believe he's finally b-back." She sobbed.
Lilah just held her, and allowed her to cry herself to sleep.
OUTSIDE
Lilah tossed a small tent and a sleeping bag at John and Rodney, still holding each other by the fire.
John's head snapped around and he glared at the brunette standing by the 'jumper. She raised an eyebrow to meet his offended glance before heading back inside.
"Wait, Lil, Why do we have to get the tent?" Rodney asked, pulling himself together and moving away from John slightly, ignoring the frown the colonel shot in his direction.
"Because as soon as Bri wakes up, she and I are going to be spending the entire night making modifications to the puddle jumper. We figured you and John might want some time alone." She winked, and then disappeared into the craft. The ramp closed, leaving the two men alone with the flickering light of the fire.
