His eyes flashed and he grinned. “Oh, I’m sure I could whip us up somethin’. But first…” and he slid over next to her and put an arm around her. His metal arm raised up and the lights dimmed to almost nothing. “I really wanna see this.” and he pointed to the approaching storm. Outside, the wind was picking up dropping in temperature quickly. The trees began to move and the smell of storm came in on the wind. A few minutes later, the first of the rain began and soon the thunder and lightning joined it. Micah pulled her close as the storm began in earnest. Loud crashes of thunder and spectacular bolts of lightning created a cacophony of light and sound and the wind blew droplets of rain into the bathroom through the open wall. Micah smiled and closed his eyes, leaning his head back.

Shara resting her head on her arms. She watched the clouds shift and roll over the landscape, the flashes lighting up her face. The hot water kept her from feeling chilled by the rain but she shivered nonetheless, though his body heat was also soothing. “You know, I think what really freaked me out when I woke up and found out we were married was that I had this magical opportunity to have something special again dropped in my lap and it felt too good to be true.” She turned her ear onto her arm so she could gaze at him. “And then you gave me back my baby girl. I figure at that point there’s no grand gesture in the history of marriage that could spell out our future more clearly. Doesn’t mean some days it doesn’t still scare me, but I don’t feel restless, Pickle. Not with you.” She figured it helped that they were both fo the stars. He understood that about her and would let her have that as much as she needed, and vice verse.

Micah watched the storm reflected in Shara’s eyes and smiled. “I know ya get scared, hun… I do, too. But no matter what, I know that you and I are just supposed ta be. Everything that happened to us before was prep for this here. We had to live the lives we have in order to appreciate each other for what we are.” He ran his fingers down her cheek. “And what you are is the most exciting woman I’ve ever met.”

She flashed him a grin, his fingertips creating a cascading warmth over her bare skin. “I’m glad you recognize fun and quality when you find it. I am most certainly never boring, even when I’m idle.” The lightning mirrored the amusement in her eyes. “Actually, that’s when you should probably worry.”

“I never worry when it comes to you.” Micah said, kissed her cheek, and then let go and slid further down into the water and looked at the storm. “At least, I don’t worry about us. And I only worry about you when you are on the job. Other than that, I don’t think there is a thing in the entire galaxy that you can’t handle.” and he grinned.
