A lot of you were worried about why Jess screamed, well here you go...
2032...
Then something strange happened...
The predators started to disappear. In their place humans now stood looking all bewildered, as if to say... "What am I doing here?"
Some started collapsing, as their memories began to change.
Jess screamed...
"Becker!" she dropped her EMD, and ran towards him. Becker nearly fell backwards to the ground as she leaped upon him. He had no idea what he was doing there... But the only thing that stopped him from falling unconscious was Jess. He was pleased to see her; he hugged her back, and returned her searing kiss, choosing to block out what his mind was now telling him.
Matt turned to stare at them. His mouth fell open, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Slowly he began to smile...
Becker was alive!
He turned to look around him.
Predators began to fall, all around them, and began changing... back to their original forms.
2012...
Connor continued to watch as the meteor disappeared from sight. He turned to look at Danny, Bertie and Becker. Slowly they made their way towards him.
"Is it all over?" Danny voiced his thoughts.
"Don't know; it depends what's happened on the other side..." Connor sighed as Becker put an arm around his neck, and onto his opposite shoulder.
The trio at the site carried on watching. The other members of the team watched from their satellite feed onto the screens of their mobile van. Everyone involuntarily held their breath. They waited for an age...
"Come on...!" Connor mumbled. "It should have happened by now! The meteor should have come back through!" He wondered what had happened on the other side.
Had the meteor gone through the anomaly, only to crash on the other side?
Had his plan worked and the meteor bounced back out into space?
Had they just lost Matt and Emily forever?
All these questions and more plagued him, and he couldn't think straight.
Suddenly Becker saw movement.
"There!" he pointed to the anomaly in the sky, and began to smile.
"Yes!" Connor punched the air in victory as the meteor slowly materialised. Slowly, very slowly, the meteor sailed back out of the Earth's atmosphere and into space.
They were saved.
"Shall we go now?" said Becker thinking of Jess, he turned to look at his sister, who once again had her lips locked with Danny. "Shall we just leave them to it!" he asked Connor.
Connor nodded, he wanted to see Abby and give her a huge hug himself. Together they ran to the only SUV in sight. Got in and drove off, not waiting for Danny or Bertie. - They could make their own way back!
Abby jumped in the seat of the van, and began to drive. There was nothing on Earth that could stop her from being with her beloved Connor! Soon she saw the SUV driving the other way and she braked hard, Lester toppled over behind her, he had not been seated as she drove and the sudden braking had caused him to lose his balance.
Abby glanced back at him as she heard him curse, jumped out of the car and ran as fast as her changing body would allow, into Connor's arms. They melted into each other. Just being close together, knowing that their future together was now safe. Relieved, Abby began to cry. Connor wiped the tears from her face. Slowly he leaned forward and down to kiss her. Gently he teased her lips apart, and his tongue began to explore her mouth.
Jess followed suit and she too ran from the mobile van, she leapt into Becker's strong arms, and wrapped her legs around his body. Becker caught her and placing his hands under her bottom to keep her from falling, he leaned down to kiss her. He relished the closeness of her body, her sweet scent and the taste of her mouth.
Both couples were hugging and kissing and did not notice Lester climb slowly out of the van. They were so lost in each other they did not notice the man who straightened his suit, and drive off in the SUV. They were still so lost in each other they did not notice when said man returned with Danny and Bertie inside!
"Oh. My. Goodness!" Lester grumbled.
He turned to say something to Danny and Bertie, and found that they too had their arms locked around each other.
"Argggh! God help me! First it's Scrappy-Do and Daphne, then, it's Soldier boy and the FCO, and now it's the two of you!" Lester threw his hands up in the air and admitted defeat. He turned to get back into the much more comfortable SUV, when he heard Danny mutter underneath his breath. He was sure that he had heard him say something to the likeness of - "I don't know why you're grumbling, you've got Caroline waiting back at the ARC!"
Lester regarded the couples through narrowed eyes. He sat in the SUV and seethed. If only they could go home now. Then even HE could be with his wife!
Lester and Caroline had locked themselves away in his office, wanting a few moments to themselves after the events of the last few weeks. He sat in his chair recounting the day's events to his dear wife Caroline. He was ready to go home, after such a long day. If truth be known he would have gone straight home, had it not been for the fact that he had a meeting with the minister upon his return. The minister had been held up, and Lester was now waiting for the phone call from his secretary to tell him that he could meet with him.
The whole team lounged around the break room at the ARC. Luke had stayed in his time. He was no longer needed in 2012, and Matt and Emily had returned, their work in the future now completed.
Abby was nestled in the armchair, Connor was sat at her feet, and one hand was rubbing her stomach gently. He had a stupid grin upon his face and he couldn't help but gasp in delight whenever the baby moved. The baby was very active this afternoon, and Abby and Connor loved being able to sit and watch it move.
Jess and Emily were mesmerised as Abby's stomach rippled with movement in reaction to Connor's touch. It seemed weird to watch Abby's stomach move out of shape in such a way, and if they had not known that she was pregnant, the movement would have been very peculiar indeed! Becker and Matt stood watching their respective partners going gooey over the wonders of pregnancy. But they could not help but stare themselves and hoped that Connor and Abby didn't mind such a large audience. It didn't seem possible that there was an actual baby growing inside Abby's small body.
Danny and Bertie sat side by side on the couch. They too were watching Abby and Connor but were not completely captivated by the show. Danny pulled Bertie closer, and kissed her hair.
"I can't stay here forever you know," Bertie sighed. Now that everything was over she should really return to Afghanistan. Technically she was listed as Missing in Action, but if she was found here, it would mean a Court Martial, for going AWOL. "I just don't know how I'm going to explain my absence, or Captain Burnett's death!"
"You're forgetting something, something very important ...!" he reached to the coffee table at the side of the couch and picked up the Anomaly Opening Device. "We have this!" Danny smiled. It would be a simple matter of retuning Bertie to the location of where went missing. The bruises and the gunshot wound she had gained as a result of the altercation with Ethan, would serve as evidence that she had been captured by insurgents.
Bertie smiled; yes this way she could save herself. She looked up at her brother. The younger brother whose life she had managed to save with a little help from the handsome man who sat next to her.
"Where will you go? What will you do?" she asked, now that his brother was dead, what was left in his life? Her brother turned too, eager to hear what Danny would say.
"I might just come with you, say that I rescued you from a gang of terrorists!" Danny looked up at Becker. "Look I'd love to stay here with you, but I don't belong here... you know that!"
"Where DO you belong?" Becker asked; the rest of the team turned to look at him.
"I don't know mate... don't know." He looked at the rest of the team around him.
"There's an opening for a Zoologist if you want it." Abby smiled.
Danny shook his head, he couldn't look after the animals, not the way Abby did.
He wasn't sure what he was going to do. He looked around him again; everyone was staring at him, waiting for an answer, waiting to hear what he would do... So what was he going to do?
He looked at Bertie. He looked at her shiny almost black hair, her beautiful hazel eyes, cute button nose, oh, he so wanted to kiss that nose, and her lips... and...
Danny stood up. He looked around him, but most of all he looked straight at Becker.
Becker seemed to understand his friends unsaid words; the look in his eyes said it all, and he nodded.
Slowly Danny turned back to Bertie; he got down on one knee, held his hand out in front of him and...
THE END!
There we go, I hope that is a satisfactory ending to that story.
