Mission: A Trip to Middle Earth
Location: Grayson Quarters

Callie lay contentedly cuddled up in Jonathon’s arms, dinner had gone down a treat as had her version of ‘dessert’ she loved it when Jon made love with her. She smiled as she lifted her head and gave him a loving kiss.

“I love you Imzadi, I know I’ve told you that loads of times before, and I’ll keep telling you.”

Jon held Callie in a loose hug. Their love making was as pleasurable as always. "I love you Callie, now and until the end of time and I'll keep on telling you as well. I never get tired of telling you that I love you. You are my soulmate, my better half."

Callie smiled as she settled her head back down on Jon’s shoulder. “My worry is that I’m also your greatest weakness, it concerns me. When we’re on duty we’re supposed to be professional, but it’s difficult when one of us is placed at risk.”

Jon turned to look at Callie, "I know Callie but you are not my greatest weakness. You are my greatest strength. I will do anything I have to, to keep you safe. I will not apologize for that or shrink away from it."

Callie nodded and smiled. “I will always be your rock Imzadi, I will always be here for you no matter what. If my time with...” She didn’t say the name. “..him, taught me anything it’s that my love for you is without rival. I am yours and yours alone.”

Jon turned to face Callie head on, he stiffened as she made a reference to her abductor. "Callie, my love, my precious love. I love you, only you. now and for all time and I will always be here to love and protect you." As he leaned forward and kissed her gently. "I and my love are yours for all time Callie." He said as the kiss broke.

Callie smiled as her fingers gently caressed his cheek. “As I am yours Jon. So does this mean you’ll still take me along on away teams, or is it only on those deemed safe for a woman in my condition?”

Jon kissed her fingers. "Geez Callie, what a loaded question." He bantered. "I'll tell you what, I will take you on away missions but for now only those safe for a woman in your condition. How's that?"

Callie smiled and nodded. “I can’t ask for more than that. I didn’t ask to put pressure on you, I was just curious. I would rather be safe than sorry.”

"I know you didn't sweetheart, but you deserve to go on away missions. I too would rather be safe than sorry which is why I said what I did."

Callie nodded. “I know” She leant in for a loving kiss, Jon meant everything to her and they made quite a team in their working roles, as well as their love life.

Jon kissed and hugged Callie. His love for her knew no bounds. "Callie." He whispered, "I am so happy that you are here with me, in my life and the best is yet to come, with a baby on the way." He finished with a broad smile.

“It’s so exciting!!” Callie was practically buzzing about being pregnant. “I just want to shout it for the whole galaxy to hear!”

Jon smiled at Callie's exuberance at being pregnant. It was infectious and wonderful. "Well, how about telling just me." He said with a kiss.

“I can go one better!” Callie grinned as she opened her mind just enough to let Jon feel it through their bond without overwhelming him.

"Oh!" Jon exclaimed as Callie opened her mind to let him feel how she felt. He felt her pure unadulterated joy, her wonder and awe of being pregnant with a new life growing inside her. He felt her unconditional love for him and Harry. It was an exhilarating feeling and all he could do was bask in the feeling. He smiled and said, "Thank you Callie, for showing me."

Callie grinned. “My pleasure! Now...do you think you could find a way to help me get tired enough to get some sleep?” She kissed him more passionately this time.

"Sure thing Callie. Quarters need to be dusted; you can start on that." He teased before kissing her with unrestrained passion. "I'm sure something will come up." he whispered as he kissed her again.

Callie wrapped her arms around him, returning the kiss and letting their passion go where it would lead them.
