The after 'Mav'

[Lovely]

June 10, 2009
evening
Annia and Galen's quarters


"oooh Mr. O'Reilly.... what this? You got a wife? hmmm."

"what? girlfriend.. whatever... it was automatic!"

"Oh so I see now I'm not good enough?"

"no nonno... plenty good."

"Whatever I see how it is...can't marry me because I am a Lab-rat? But I'm ok to keep around for sack-time!"

puts hand up in air in surrender and walks away, shaking head... "don't start Heinz... you can't accept that I love you, that's not my problem, is it?"

"Galen BITE ME! you're the one that said it...and now oops it's a slip...I'll make sure next time you say something that makes me feel good..not to take it to heart!"

"take this to heart instead, love... read ahead in the script... if you want things to turn out right, then put your pretty head to rest.. on your brother's shoulder or whatever, but behave.. please?"

"no." pouts, crosses arms and sits in the middle of the floor "not supposed to behave!"

"exactly.. now come give us a kiss... "

sticks out tongue instead

crosses room, kneals behind her, tipping her back, pushing her stuck tongue back in with his own, deepening the kiss and apologizing with his soft embrace.

Kisses him back, with a soft sigh, wrapping her arms around him. -You know I like it when we do this..-

~I know, love... just... shh.. no more arguements.. we're over our limit.. all kiss and make up time now~

~I think I might be a touch over-sensitive....kind of alot going on..a bit stressful lately...my emotions...you know the ones I like to hide and keep in check? Yeah they are going haywire...~ Sighs and pulls him into a kiss to let him know how sorry she is for being 'crazy'.

~He stuck my gun to the ceiling, love.. that's not right~

~Can I stick your gun somewhere?~ Winks

~Annia... I'm.. I'm almost shocked.. and well... intrigued... you're beginning to think like me. D'y think your memory is really coming back?~

~I can only hope it is... just a few flashes...broken images. But you know...bright side, thats more than I had before right?~ Leans up and softly kisses his lips.

Breathing in her soft perfume as she sat up and turned right-way around, he kissed her back, pulling her into his lap. ~Show me... the images... what do you see?~

She started to pull away, shaking her head, but stopped herself. She looked into his eyes. ~I don't like them~

"Annia," he whispered aloud, brushing his fingers along her cheek. "It's alright... you're not there.. they're only images now."

She closed her eyes, covering his hands with hers. An image came to her mind and she flinched. Screaming as a young girl, her hands stretched out for something as they dragged her away. A hand that clasped hers tightly, leaving red digging finger marks as they were torn apart. A young boys voice screaming for her "Annie!" And her terrified voice crying back as small fists beat at the arms that grabbed and shoved her. And then pain in the back of her head and darkness. Annia shivered in the now and reached to touch her face. Pulling her fingers back as she was surprised to find it wet with tears. She gazed at Galen almost confused.

He held her closely, kissing her cheek, feeling her tremble. "A memory.. I saw it.. that's all it is now.. a memory. He's here, Annia. If it's not him, they did a great deal of research to pretend, but I believe he's genuinely your brother. No tears now... you're together again."

She nodded, and wiped her eyes, brushing the tears away. They had no place in the here and now...and she had no idea where they came from. Sighing she looked at Galen, shaking her head. "See? What I mean...i'm friggin' short circuiting or something! I do not cry... have you ever seen me cry?"

"You're remembering.. the memory was deeply rooted in there... strong emotions. Wanna know a secret? Don't stop them.. you'll feel better if you let them flow."

************************************

It was a couple hours after the spat, making up and surfacing memories. Galen was still mumbling to himself about the incident with Mav. "..and I am NOT a ponce... or a nancy, thankyouveryfriggin much!"

Annia came into thier room in her pjs, hearing his mutters, she grinned. "loook.." She cooed. "I'm smiling!"

"look she's falling outta her top!" He teased.

"now you know why I don't smile!"

"awww.. I'm not complaining.." He had more of a look of lustful longing... bare biceps.. curled around his lonely pillow.. waiting.

she was 'sneaking' in behind him, tossing off her pjs and sliding into the bed next to him.

he grinned softly ~peekaboo, love~

kisses those bare biceps. ~didn't think I'd let you sleep all alone did you?~

~Hoping not~ ... looks over his shoulder, waits for her to get comfy and slides his arm over her.

Snuggles in, gloriously naked beside him. Soft kisses. ~Sleep well, love.~ Slips arms around him.

~Love you, Heinz... ~ His eyes were truly too heavy to stay open even though she enticed him with her warmth. He snuggle closely, absently caressing her shoulder as he drifted off into her arms.

~Love you, Irish.~ She 'whispered' it and curled with him, letting herself drift to peaceful rest with him.
