Jen went over to her father who was lying on the ground. "dad?" She knelt down and touched his shoulder. Christina who had now woken up knelt beside her. "dad c'mon.." "Jeanine..I think-" Christina started to her daughter. "No! no." there was a small wound in his side toward the ribs. "I'm sorry dad.. tried." she mumbled into her hands as Jim put his arms around her.
"Alton , please if you can hear me please wake up...Jen needs you , I need you..I love you. I'm sorry what I did but the truth is I left because I was stupid. nothing you did I was scared. but the truth is I love you so much." "T-thats the most touching thing I ever herd you say Christina." "Alton! H-how?" He sat up slowly. "Laser proof vests work rather well do they not."
"But you bleeding?" "Na made to look that way." He smirked at the confused woman. Her confusion turned to anger and she smacked his shoulder. "ow hey to seconds ago I was a dying person." "Dad." Jen nearly tackled him to the ground. "You didn't just try Jen , you suceeded." she smiled gently "you need to quite playing hero and get treated you know." jen smirked.
"Your telling me. I'm getting to old to play hero."He stood slowly and looked at Jim and Nathan. "You did good." "Thank you sir." Jim said. Nathan looked at Jen and asked , "why didn't you tell me your father was First Leuteniant Alton Arrow?" "Why didn't you tell me you were a cadet at Interstellar ?" "looks like we're even." He said pulling out his transmitter from his coat pocket. "Time to go home." He said calling his superior officers telling them he had Scroop.
Later that evening the three cadet's watched Scroop get carried away by naval officers. "Will we see ya?" Jim asked. "We go the same school bro I'll be around." "So your a spy?" Jim asked. "eh we prefer the title 'special forces'." Jim made a silent Oh sound. "But for now I must be off. Later you guys." "Later Nate." "Bye." Jim took jen by the hand and they walked over towards the docks.
Christina walked beside Alton , "So..are we clear now?" She asked. He didn't say a word but placed an arm around her pulling her close. "I love you Christina. And I want ," He pulled something from his pocket and placed it in her hand. "My wedding band." She looked up into his eyes as he smiled. "Will you re-marry me?" she smiled widely and said , "Yes , Yes I will!" He kissed her as they hugged one another they herd , " Well , Well , well look here Jim things get more heated we'll have to leave. Let's keep it PG here you guys."
They looked to see Jen smiling from ear to ear then coming to them and hugged each one. Then Christina said , "alton...I'll only re-marry you on one condition." Alton and Jen looked at her with confused expresstions . "If Jen is alright with it." All eyes were on Jen now she replied , " Mom , you and dad getting back together has been my dream since you divorced. Most would think I'd say no and maybe I should ... but of course i'm fine with it."Christina took her daughters hands into hers and said I promise I'll be a better mother then I was."
Jen smiled as she went over to Jim taking his hand they walked back onto the ship.
