AN: Thank you for the reviews! I'm not used to writing smut, so they helped my confidence in this area immensely.

Foxmac, Bettina: attractive ideas, but I was trying to stay clear from connections with any other shows in regards to the aliens, so I was careful not to name them or give even a little hint of who they were. This fic has no connection with SG-1 or X-Files, but I can honestly say that I did give it a thought of making it an x-over with SG-1. Perhaps some other, longer fic... thank you for the reviews

anon: I hope you're not disappointed with the end pairing, it just felt right, thank you for the review.

Dot, Cassandra30: thank you for the reviews.

Jen traced Harm's features with a loving finger, gazing up at him tenderly as he was still laying on top of her, a blanket beneath them both.

While he was heavy she didn't want him to move, she was enjoying the feel of his bulk pushing her into the ground too much. She loved him and such close contact with this man she loved made her insides turn to mush and her heart sing with love. But, most of all, she just craved the feeling of him in her arms and of her being in his arms, of holding each other close. His strong frame on top of her made it real to her what they just did. Besides, he was like a human furnace, keeping her warm against the night chill and the feeling of him still being inside her, still connecting them, was something that grounded her.

Finally his eyes opened, the completely satisfied look in them making her smile tenderly at him, her lover, her beloved.

"Hey." she whispered and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Hey." he whispered back. "How do you feel?"

"Fantastic." she grinned at him. "You think we did it?"

He mulled it over. "I hope so. Otherwise we'll just continue trying. I hope you won't mind..." He grinned.

"I'm all for that." she rolled her hips against him just a little, being careful not to make him slip out of her.

Harm groaned, which brought another satisfied grin from Jen.

"So, my beloved husband." her gold ring glinted in the moonlight as she brushed his hair out of his eyes. "What do you say we retire into the cabin?"

"Yeah, okay, but not just yet, I'm enjoying myself right now." he sent a leer at her, to which she responded by tightening her muscles around him, causing him to groan.

"So, how did you like it?" inquired Harm of his spouse, once he regained his composure.

"I loved it, especially this post-apocalyptic thing, but let's not overdo it, okay? While it gave a certain edge to the whole thing, the scenario itself is pretty uncomfortable."

"I know." agreed Harm. "Next time it's your turn, can't wait to see how it turns out."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll like my surprise..." growled Jen huskily, then added the word she knew would have an effect on him "..., sir."

Harm's eyes darkened and she could feel him hardening inside of her.

Inwardly she smiled, knowing it always had the same effect on him, as it did on her when he called her by her former rank.

The reminders of their former professional relationship, before Jen had resigned from the Navy, graduated and started practicing Clinical Psychology, and of the fact that they'd been in love even then, both having many different fantasies of which most entailed their uniforms, various rooms at HQ and various pieces of furniture, brought them back to the time when their feelings were still forbidden.

This false feeling of forbidden fruit, a pretense of them breaking the regs and feeling the thrilling danger of being found out, never failed to have an effect on either of them. And their using the other's previous rank sometimes led to some of the hottest and most mind blowing love making of their relationship.

Their marriage, now 2 years strong, just kept getting stronger after they'd both retired from the Navy, going over to the private sector, Harm having retired with his full 20 and a Captain's rank and pension.

Jen was now working as a successful clinical psychologist, with her own practice, and did an occasional profitable stint as a civilian contractor at Bethesda, with occasional very profitable consulting she did for the government, while Harm had his own law firm and was a consultant for all matters Maritime Law and his business was going nicely, with clients ranging from different Navies (even other nations' Navies hired him), to other branches of the government, shipping corporations, other governments and even the UN, EU and other organizations. With it being his own firm he regulated his own work hours and always made sure to be home at the same time as Jen (video conferencing and secured encrypted email are such a wonderful thing, it meant he didn't even have to travel so much anymore), because his wife meant more to him than his job and he wanted to spend every second of their time with her.

And now they were trying to add to their family and for this reason they'd taken a 2-week vacation in the mountains with no-one around where they could spend the whole time naked, indoors and outdoors, making love, without any protection, with the sole intention of conceiving their first child.

Their love making sessions were intense and Jen's inner walls and muscles, plus her back muscles, lower back and thigh muscles, were quite sore, though pleasantly sore, by now. They hadn't had this much sex since their last vacation, about 6 months ago. Oh, they spent whole weekends in bed and made love every night during the week, but not an entire week doing nothing but making love. And they still had 7 days left...

Part of these sessions was the latest one in which they'd pretended that the world had ended and they were alone.

Role-playing to spice up their sex life or not, amazing sex or not, Jen knew that none of these things was the glue of their relationship, she knew that they would still be in love and together even without these things.

The true glue was their unconditional love for one another, their commitment to each other, the deep and abiding friendship they shared, on which basis they'd turned their dreams into reality, and the utter and complete trust they had in each other.

Jen knew that they would prevail all obstacles life would throw at them, even if they somehow really ended up being the last two people in the world.

For they would stand side by side, through it all, loving and supporting each other.

Always.

THE END

REVIEW!

READ THIS: following this part is an alternate ending, in which the end of the world really did happen, cause I personally would feel a little disappointed if I was reading this fic, but if it was written by someone else, and it would turn out that it didn't really happen. So, expect an alternate ending soon.
