Mission: Gamma Quadrant
Location: Savar & Aurora’s Quarters
Timeline: After the crew evaluations

{ON}

With the evaluations over Aurora rushed home, her heart and soul yearned to be with Savar especially after what had occurred on the holodeck. Rushing through the doors of their quarters she needed only to set eyes on Savar as she threw herself into his arms. “I though I’d lost you!!”

Savar's arms were open wide and closed around Aurora in a tight hug. His Vulcan stoicism was gone as he kissed her repeatedly and continued to hold her. "I am sorry my love." He said the guilt mixed with sorrow in his voice. "You are my world and 'losing' you was a devastating experience, one I never wish to repeat. I am sorry if you thought I was unaffected. I can tell you, that is decidedly untrue."

“I know!” Aurora looked into Savar’s eyes. “When I... lost you on that holodeck all I could feel was anger, and hatred towards those who killed you! I wanted to kill them! Make them suffer!” She held him tight almost as though she expected him to be gone if she let him go.

Savar bent forward so he could kiss Aurora again even as he continued to hug her. "You conducted yourself very well Aurora. You should be proud of your performance. As for myself when I heard you 'died' I died as well. I felt completely empty inside." He finished.

“I know, I was watching and I could feel it” Aurora returned Savar’s kiss. “Let’s just enjoy our time together tonight, put those horrible tests behind us!” She looked towards the nursery. “Has Sidak been asleep long?”

"A most excellent idea Aurora." Savar answered, "I believe we both need it. As for Sidak he has been asleep for 45 minutes. He had his bottle and went to sleep without a fight."

Aurora smiled. “Then we have time alone, I wish my body was ready for making love but that’s one thing I can’t rush so soon after having Sidak.” She offered an apologetic smile.

"Indeed we do Aurora." Savar answered. "And while we may not be able to make love, their are other ways to enjoy our time together.... we can snuggle and hold each other and be thankful for what we have and never lose it."

Aurora nodded. “That’s sounds wonderful to me Imzadi. Just to be here with you makes me happy.”

"I am pleased it pleases you Aurora. For myself, I can think of no more pleasing way to spend time with you. For that is indeed time well spent."

Aurora nodded as she took Savar’s hand and lead him to the bedroom. She undressed before laying down on her side of the bed and waited for Savar to join her so she cuddle up, she had no plans to be going anywhere else this evening.

Savar undressed as well and when finished climbed into bed and placed his arm over Aurora bringing her close so they could cuddle. "Never doubt the depth of my love for you Aurora." He said softly.

“I won’t that I promise you!” She looked into Savar’s eyes. “Savar meld with me, I know we’re bonded but right now I need to feel the depth of love between us.”

His eyes held hers, "Are you sure you wish to do this Aurora?" Savar had no issues with melding with his wife, he just wanted to make sure she wanted this.

Aurora nodded. “I need you Savar, I can’t make love to you to reach that pure moment of bliss we share so a meld is the next best thing.”

"I am not opposed to a meld Aurora, sharing thoughts with you is both pleasing and invigorating. I was just making sure." Savar said as he sat up. "Let us begin."

Aurora nodded and smiled. “Hopefully I’ll be recovered enough soon so I can make love with you.”

"I look forward to that day with great anticipation Aurora." Savar answered "As it is always wonderful and fulfilling."

Aurora nodded. “I agree Imzadi, our time together is always very fulfilling.”

"Well said Aurora and I agree completely." Savar replied. "Are you ready to begin the meld."

Aurora nodded. “Yes Ashayam”

Savar placed his fingers on Aurora's temples and intoned, "My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts. Open your mind and lets our thoughts be known." and the connection was made. Savar saw Aurora's happiness at their wedding, the first time they made love at her parent's beach house. Then again at their home on Vulcan. It was pure and innocent so like her then her happiness at having Sidak. He saw himself kissing and loving her, able to show his emotions and the true depth of his love for her. She was his better half. Aurora kept him centered and to keep things in perspective.

Aurora’s body lost all its tension, her fears of losing Savar were let go as she felt his love for her. Their relationship was beyond any explanation, all she knew was she would never be without him.

Savar saw himself holding, loving Aurora. He knew she was his soulmate, his forever love. They understood, liked, respected and loved each other. They weren't afraid to express their opinions as both were extremely comfortable with their relationship.

Aurora’s voice filled Savar’s mind. *Don’t let go of me tonight Ashayam, just hold me.*

*I will hold you forever Aurora, my love. If you desire me not to let go I will not. I am incomplete without you.* His voice filling her mind. *You need not be afraid. We continue to have each other."

Closing her eyes Aurora smiled contentedly.
