ON:

The bunks on the runabout were not particularly roomy, but Sansa was not complaining as she snuggled up to Hamish, slowly getting her breath back.

Hamish gently stroked her back, marvelling at its silken texture, then he pulled Sansa close giving her a gentle kiss. "That was amazing," he murmured softly, looking into her eyes. He hadn't expected this to happen, he was glad that it did though, very glad. It blew him away to be truthful.

"You were amazing." Sansa said as she rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Something suddenly occurred to her and she moved higher up to look him in the eye. "This is this what you wanted? Isn't it? It's just that before, you said you wanted to proceed at a slower pace. What changed your mind?"

Placing a kiss upon her forehead, Hamish then replied. "Yes, before I wanted to take things slow but after seeing her pointing that phaser towards you, any hesitation was tossed out of the window." pulling her closer to him. " Sansa, I don't want to live with any more regrets, I am going to try to be more.... more like the water that is more flexible, instead of a rigid old fuddy duddy. Granted, I still am in some points... and I maybe... I will do some sniping, or not. The future is unwritten and who knows what sort of changes are in front of us. I will endeavour to put away my peevishness." he stopped, realizing that he was just going on and on.

Sansa smiled as she slid her body up and on top of him, looking down on him with loving eyes. "I understand but you should know, one thing you were never is an old fuddy-duddy. Rigid....?" She added with a sly smile. "Well, only where it counts. She leant forward, kissing him passionately as she wrapped her arms around him, moulding her body to his.

Hamish blushed at that comment "Er thank you-" his words cut off with her kiss and as their lovemaking began again....

Sometime later, Hamish woke up, finding himself still intertwined with Sansa. He gently moved a strand of her titian coloured hair away from her face. Once more he marvelled at the miracle of being here with her... them... Well, it was her. He shoved the thought away from his mind, deciding to just be in the moment. However, his body demanded something more, now that one appetite had been satisfied. He carefully moved out of the bed and headed in for the head, to get cleaned up and take care of bodily functions.

Sansa stirred and realised she was alone. Remembering who they had onboard, a flicker of concern crossed her face. She sat up and called "Hamish?"

Hamish had just towelled off and stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist. "I'm here, I'm okay." he responded, "I'll be out in just a few more minutes." disappearing from view.

Satisfied he was ok, she laid back down, her thoughts drifting back to the woman they had in stasis and her poor child. Melody had told her that they were going to send the baby somewhere safe, that the child needed a loving and caring environment and Mirror Fox was... well let's face it... not really the maternal type. Still, there was some small flicker of sadness in her. Sansa felt sorry that she would be deprived of her child. But, after this Fox had acted, maybe it was for the best.

A baby... It seemed that everyone was having one. Amelia, Mirror Amelia, her mom... She wondered, would she and Hamish have... One day. Perhaps?

She placed her hands on her stomach and imagined what could be...

She heard Hamish heading back and lifted up the blankets to let him slip back in beside her. "Sorry, I was a bit worried when I woke and you weren't there. Silly, I know."

"I do understand your concern and she's still asleep. I had to go check." Hamish responded with a gentle kiss on her lips, then the kiss became a bit more passionate. "You know we're going to have to take a pause to have something to eat..." he stated, before they once more became intertwined.

“I know, but…. Not right now. You’re too comfortable.” She said as she moulded herself back to him. She kissed him again, then bit her lip as she hesitated. “Hamish, I do you think…. I mean me and you… do you think we’ll ever…”

Her train of thought was suddenly interrupted by the bed, No the entire ship shaking for a moment. Sansa frowned. “Computer! What was that?”

The computer responded. “Please restate inquiry.”

“Why did the ship shake?”

“Ship encountered a subspace shockwave, originating on current heading, distance 10 light years. Cause unknown.”

“We felt a shockwave of something that happened 10 light years away. It must have been something enormous that caused it.” Suddenly focused, she looked at him. “I think we should get dressed.”

Hamish without another word rolled out of the bed and quickly moved to where his clothing lay, and got dressed. "That concerns me, do you think that the Merlin was there when whatever happened, happened?" a furrow forming. Sansa's parents, Mathias! "We need to go investigate." he mused, as he headed towards the cockpit.
