Mission: The Return
Location: Johnson Quarters

Thomas got up from the seat, and walked over to the turbolift, his shift ended, and as he turned the railing that was situated behind the seats, he glanced over at Talia, giving her the 'get over here' gesture, for her to follow.

Getting up from her seat Talia followed on, she wasn’t going to waste one minute of time after having thought she’d lost Thomas.

Once they were in the turbolift, and the doors were closed, he turned and embraced her tightly. "There were times when I didn't think see you again."

Talia closed her eyes for a moment as she held onto him. “I lost you, I truly did…” she opened her eyes and looked up at him. “The bond we have…had, will only break upon the death of one of the bonded. You must have…died.” She paused. “I felt your loss, I’ve never felt so alone!” She took a deep breath to centre herself. “We’re going to have to re-establish our bond again, something I’m very much looking forward to.”

"Nothing kills you like a Romulan blaster to the chest. The Iconians brought me back for information. I gotta admit... being dead... kind of scary."

“I can’t imagine what that must have been like.” Talia paused. “You’re back now and that’s what matters.”

"Now, I am going to ask the Captain for a week, so we can finally go on our honey moon."

“Really?” Talia’s smile said it all. “We can finally take the time we never had when we got married, before our son decides to make his arrival into the universe.”

"Absolutely. There is a planet not too far, they compare it similar to Risa, but they don’t need the environmental controls to stabilize the weather."

“Sounds wonderful” Talia nodded excitedly. “To have time alone with you to celebrate our honeymoon and your return will be amazing! You don’t think Nezuko will mind, do you?”

"I don't think so. We can always make it up to her, make our vacation time next time the three of us."

Talia nodded. “I think she’d like that, she’s been a rock for me while you were gone. I was so lost!” She offered a happier smile. “Now you’re here and all is right with my universe again.”

"We have a couple of weeks free," Thomas replied, "I want to do something special for being there for you when I couldn't."

Talia smiled as she looked at Thomas curiously. “Do you have anything in particular in mind?”

"Well she is a predator long way from home." Thomas replied. "Was thinking stocking up on some of her favourite meat instead of having the replicator do it for her."

“I like that idea” Talia nodded. “It’ll be a nice surprise for Nezuko as well.”

"I need a shower first thing we get home. Care to join me."

“You bet I would!” Talia grinned pausing for a moment before taking his hand and placing it on her stomach. “Feel that? He’s been doing that a lot since I thought I lost you, now I think he’s doing it out of excitement!” She grinned. “He’s strong just like you.”

"He gets it from you as well." He smiled feeling the baby kick.

“When you were… gone, I fell to pieces” Talia paused. “It was only when I ended up in command of the ship, that I realised that I had to put my emotions aside, and be strong. Not just for myself, but for our son. I won’t fail either of you, not ever!” She smiled a wry smile.

"Yes you will, but thats life, and we won't have you any other way. If we don't fail, we don’t learn. Ive made mistakes, and I will continue to make mistakes, but it’s how we learn from them decides if we let them define us."

Talia nodded. “That’s very true, are you sure you didn’t miss a calling to be a therapist Imzadi?” She smiled a wry smile.

"I’d send more people to the looney bin than cure."

Talia couldn’t help but laugh. “Seriously though, I’m just happy to have you back.”

"Cant get rid of me that easily." He smiled as the lift stopped and they stepped out.

“Now that I’m glad about.” Talia grinned as she followed him out of the lift.

"So how does this rebonding work, same as the first?"

“More or less” Talia nodded. “This time should be quicker and less uncomfortable for you. Your mind is used to mine now, but I will experience all that you experienced including your…” she paused. “Death. The memory of it anyway.”

"That is one thing I wish I could withhold from you."

Talia nodded. “I know, but it’s something that can’t be avoided or the bonding won’t work. I want to know what you went through.”

"Why am I arguing when it comes to sex... pretty soon you will be pushing me away when I want it."

Talia shook her head. “Not out of choice I won’t, and I’ll make up for it once I’m recovered enough, I promise!”

"I will hold you to that."

Talia grinned. “You won’t have to because as soon as I’m able you’ll be the first to know.”

"Good to know" He replied as he smiled walking down the corridor towards their quarters.

“Besides we still have time left, and making love during pregnancy is considered beneficial.” Talia grinned.

"Well then I guess can never have too much of a beneficial thing."

“Very true” Talia nodded and smiled. “Just you wait until I get you home!”

"Oh... that I can't wait." He replied as they approached the door.

As they walked inside Talia took no time at all in letting Thomas know just how much she’d missed him, throwing herself at him she let her passions loose as she kissed him with fire whilst undoing his clothing.

It didn’t take long for him to undress her as he kissed her, lifting her up so she could wrap her legs around him, he placed her back onto the wall.

Talia gasped at the momentary cold of the wall against her back, but soon forgot all about it. Her late stage of pregnancy made making love a logistical challenge these days, but they managed nonetheless.

"You good?" He asked as he slowly brought himself in.

Talia nodded. “I’m good, the wall was a little cold that’s all” she smiled as she held onto him. “I do love having to improvise.”

Smiling, he kissed her neck and grabbed her bottom for extra support.

“Ohh you know how much I love that!” Talia rested her head back against the wall.

"Why do you think I keep doing it." He grinned as he pushed inside a little more rapid

Talia gasped but grinned, she was enjoying every moment and every move. Digging her fingers into his back, but not enough to hurt him. “I could say the same..”

"Come on, you know I like the nails. Dig them in."

“Ohh you asked for it!” Talia grinned as she gave him what he wanted. Wounds could be healed if she accidentally hurt him.

Thomas winced, feeling a slight trickle of blood going down his back. "Lets take this to the bedroom shall we."

Talia felt the pain, which made her feel guilty but she wasn’t about to stop now. “Yes, please!”

Letting her down he scooped her up in his arms, and walked into their bedroom layng her on the bed.

Talia smiled as she was laid down, waiting for Thomas to choose just how he’d lije them to continue their lovemaking.

Moving on top, he quickly wrapped his arms around her again, then rolled taking her on top of him.

“You always did like me being on top” Talia grinned as she made sure Thomas would enjoy every moment of her being on top.

"You know me, I sometimes enjoy being the one taking orders,"

“Then I’ll make sure I give some more often” Talia grinned.

"Please do." He returned the smile.

Taking that as encouragement Talia starting riding harder, she was going to make sure that Thomas had all the pleasure he could get.

Feeling the sweat starting to run down his sides, and him panting, "Keep this up and I wont last very long."

Talia nodded and did her best to keep going for him, the exertion was as tiring for her as it was for him, if not more so, but she wanted to give him all the enjoyment she could.

Soon his body became to tremble, and he held her bottim tightly as he released.

Talia smiled as she came to rest. “Now that was worth waiting for.”

"Maybe I should disappear more often then?"

Talia playfully swatted him. “Don’t you dare!! I thought I’d lost you, especially when our connection severed. At least now I can feel our bond again.”

"Same I actually missed it myself."

Talia nodded. “Well neither of us is alone anymore” She smiled as she gently moved to lay next to him and rest.

"I like it that way. You having someone if something happens to me is comforting,"

Talia nodded. “Nezuko was a big help to me while you were…gone. I don’t know what I’d have done without her.” She stifled a yawn.

"She always is." Thomas replied kissing her. "Rest now. I will still be here."

Talia nodded before making herself comfortable, safe in the knowledge that she had her beloved husband back.
