ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED…

Jess sighed for the umpteenth time as she gathered her things from around the hospital room. "Should you really be up and about already?" Abby asked.

"I'm fine, Abby." Jess reassured her, stuffing her yellow cardigan into her giant red handbag. "It was just an allergic reaction, the doctor already cleared me."

Abby smirked as she tossed her car keys from one hand to another and followed her friend from the room. "I wasn't talking about your allergy attack Jess." The blonde chuckled under her breath as a blush spread across Jess' cheeks.

"It was a good kiss, wasn't it?"

"You kidding?" Abby grinned "If you two had gone on much longer I might have taken Connor off and had a good snog myself."

"Abby!"

"What?"

"You're horrible." Jess grinned.

"Speaking of snogging…" Abby nodded to Becker, who was heading down the hallway towards them. "I'm going to go find Connor." She winked at Jess before turning and heading the opposite direction.

The field co-ordinator shook her head and stood patiently until Becker approached her. "Hi." She said softly.

"Hi." He repeated, giving her a quick once over. "You alright?"

Jess barely stifled another sigh "Yes Becker, you were here when the doctor said I'd be fine."

"You nearly died, Jessica." Becker frowned "They've only kept you 6 hours. Are you sure your doctor's qualified? Let me talk to-"

Jess gently laid her hand on Becker's arm. "Becker, I'm fine. My doctor was more than qualified, Lester made sure of that. Will you please just take me home?"

"But-"

"Please?" He stared into her eyes for nearly a minute (whether he was searching for lingering fever or simply lost in them he wasn't sure). "I'm really alright." Jess reassured him again.

Becker finally nodded and tucked the hand she'd placed on his arm into his larger one. "Yeah."

"So…" Jess started when the two were standing silently in the lift. "About what happened…" Becker looked down at her as she trailed off, tensing up slightly. He wasn't sure that he was ready for this conversation. "Did I do or say anything? Because the last time I was stung by a wasp I told my friend Caroline I thought her hair was on fire; just because it was red-"

"Wouldn't you have thought that your hair was on fire too?"

"What?"

"Your hair's red as well."

"My hair is not red." Jess said indignantly. "It's brown."

Becker just cocked an eyebrow at her. "Okay…"

"You didn't answer my question." Jess said with one last half-hearted scowl.

"Well," Becker started as they stepped off the lift into the lobby "apparently you're quite fascinated by hair when you're suffering from anaphylactic shock."

Jess groaned "What did I say about your hair?"

The captain shrugged and smirked as he remotely unlocked his company SUV; Jess wondered how it was that he could look so smug and nonchalant at the same time. "Just that it was lovely."

"It is lovely." Jess allowed as she got into the passenger seat.

"You also asked if you could touch it."

"Well that's… mortifying."

Becker just smirked again and smoothly pulled out of the hospital's car park. "You also told me you hate me."

"I don't." Jess denied vehemently.

"I know." Becker reached over and grabbed hold of her hand again.

Jess looked down at their clasped hands and smiled softly as Becker ran his thumb across her knuckles. "I do remember one thing."

"What's that?" Becker asked as he navigated through the busy London streets.

Jess held up their hands "This. I remember you were holding my hand when I woke up." She lowered them back into her lap and sandwiched his hand with hers when he began to pull away. "Don't."

"Jess… About what happened in the bunker…" The field co-ordinator kept her face expression free, not sure she liked where this conversation was going. It had taken Becker forever to make a move and she wasn't sure she could handle it if he tried to take it back. "I just want you to know that I don't regret it." Jess let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding and felt a huge grin steal over her face. "I mean, I kind of wish it hadn't been in front of the whole team… Connor won't leave me alone, and Matt and Abby keep grinning at me… But the part about you and me? I just-"

"Me too." Jess squeezed his hand. Becker squeezed back glad she just got it and he wouldn't have to continue making a fool of himself by talking it to death. "Just one question though."

"What's that?"

"What took you so long?"
