Jek was thankful to be free of the bacta and allowed them to look over him once more, hissing softly as his left side was touched. His eyes had been focused on Aeris so when they drew his attention to his injury his gaze moved to look at what would be a large jagged scar over most of his ribs. His first real scar from battle. He didn't know what to make of it and looked back to his love when he felt her draw near, happily returning her hug as he kissed her cheek and nuzzled his nose into her neck. Just holding on to her left him feeling whole and at peace. His regular calm returned to him as he took in a deep breath and placed a kiss on her neck.<br/><br/>"You have nothing to be sorry for." Jek told Aeris softly as she apologized and then launched into verbal vomit on how it was her fault and how she nearly lost him. All he could do was grin at her, staring back into her gorgeous green eyes and return her kiss before his hands moved to gently cup her cheeks. "I told you that you will not lose me. Nothing could keep me away from you. That was not my end, and it won't be for a very long time." He said, giving her another kiss before gently pressing his forehead to hers as he held her. "We will grow old, slowly, we will have children and watch them grow." He whispered for only her ears and hoped his calm reassured her.<br/><br/>Jek waited like that for several minutes before giving her one more kiss and stepping back from her "That was my favourite shirt I lost... And I don't think it's a good idea to leave here in my underwear, did you bring me a change of clothes." He asked, smiling at her in complete happiness. "I want to get out of here and just spend time with you."<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>An-Lok had not meditated like Aeris had, her focus had only been on Jax and watching over him. So when she settled into a chair, curled into it in a way that made her seem smaller, she began to fall asleep. Her eyes were just drifting close when she felt not just Jax's presence strengthen but also Jek's. Her eyes flew open and she moved to the tank as he pressed his hand to it.<span style="font-style: italic">Good morning to you too.</span>She responded while she returned the gesture, staring up at him with shining tears in her eyes. She had to be told to move so they could free him of the tank, and it was anxiously she did so, wanting to kiss him and see if he remembered being told he was going to be a father.<br/><br/>They moment she could, she was moving forwards into his arms unable to hide her smile as he easily lifted her off of the ground and kissed her. She kissed him back until they needed to breath, her feet returning to the ground as she held tight to him as looked up at him with nothing but love and happiness. She hide her face in his chest as he apologized to her and promised to be more careful for her and their baby. A pleasant shudder ran through her and she smiled up at him "I'm going to hold you to that." She said, glad to feel how much pride he had at the words, how much he actually wanted to be a father.<br/><br/>"I love you too." She said, absolutely giddy when his hand went over her flat stomach and he mentioned their still forming child. "We both love you." She added, going up on her toes to kiss him. For a few more minutes she stayed like that before slowly drawing away from him and turning to grab the clothes and his cleaned boats from under the chair. "I want you, alone in our quarters." She said, not suggestive in the least as she let him know she had not left his side in more than an hour and was exhausted. Any energy she had was borrowed from the Force and she just wanted to curl into his side and sleep.
