The starlight came in through the windows. One thing Maria had noticed on the Starbase was they didn’t twinkle as they did on earth, it was something with the lack of atmosphere.

She was sitting up as the starlight illuminated their bedroom. Peter was seated, she could see the scars on his back shadowed. She leaned over and kissed his shoulder then hugged him from behind.

“It’s ok babe.” She reassured him. “Remember this is like dating again. We are getting to know each other all over again.”

That just bought a snort, “I wasn’t this nervous when we were teenagers in your bedroom, praying your dad doesn’t come home.”

That made her laugh quietly. “I know if he had walked in. “

“No father needs that image of his baby girl.” She put her head on his shoulder as she moved to sit beside him.

“What’s wrong Peter?” She looked at him, “I know that case has been rough on you. But hon, you are dealing with what you went through? The whole thing had to change you.”

He sighed, “I’m just worried.” There was a pause, “I mean Special operations uses Green Orion women as operatives, you think I’m going to go to slave mind, bow down ‘yes mistress no mistress this one is unworthy to be in your presence, don’t dare look at her, and God forbit you do something as crass as stare at them in any form of undress. One guy, you remember Ensign Sloan?”

“Yeah.”

“He lost both eyes because he actually looked at his mistress naked.”

“Wow.” She just hugged him. “That’s horrible, did he survive?”

“No.”

“Did they bury him? Or anything?”

“Not at all out with the trash.” He paused,

She kissed him on his collarbone, “If you just want to talk more.”

He paused, “I just feel like I’m dissapointing you.”

“Babe, you can back to me from the dead, you could never disappoint me.”

Peter smiled. Then he laid back in the bed, “I have to ask, you had a baby, raised him with only a Djabuul for help, and managed to be just as beautiful as when I saw you.”

She curled up next to him, “Flatterer, my ass is huge and…” He surprised her with a kiss, which became more.

As they laid together Maria smiled, “Where did that come from?”

“I guess talking helped me get some stuff off my chest.” He looked concerned, “you ok?”

“Oh believe me I have no complaints.”

They fell fast asleep.
