�Zhaan can I talk to you,� Aeryn asked.
�Of course,� Zhaan said.
�You would say I have changed wouldn�t you,� Aeryn asked.
�Yes�why,� Zhaan said.
�It�s just a few months ago Crichton and I couldn�t each other and now we can�t be apart,� Aeryn said.
�Aeryn people and things change when put into a new environment it normal for you to feel this way,� Zhaan said.
�Thanks Zhaan,� Aeryn said and left.
Aeryn had gone over her and Crichton�s relationship for the hundredth time and still made no sense to her. She sat in their quarters before Crichton came and thought about it and still came to no conclusion. She loved him and he loved her but when did it happen. Was it after the royal planet when they kissed, or on false earth or the flax, or one of the many times they saved each other lives. She couldn�t come up with an answer on that but she did know that she couldn�t and wouldn�t live with out him.
�Hey sweetheart,� Crichton said.
�Crichton you ever think about the future,� Aeryn asked.
�Sure why,� Crichton said.
�Like if you�ll marry or have children,� Aeryn said.
�Sometime,� Crichton said.
�Ever think about the mistakes you made and past choices,� Aeryn asked.
�Yes what this about Aeryn,� Crichton said.
�Nothing I was just thinking,� Aeryn said.
�We all know I�ve made mistakes,� Crichton said.
�Especially on the Royal Planet,� Aeryn said.
�Can we forget about that,� Crichton said.
�I made just as many mistakes,� Aeryn said.
�Aeryn�lets get married,� Crichton said.
�Excuse me,� Aeryn said.
�You heard me�I�ve been thinking about for a few days now,� Crichton said.
�Um�ok,� Aeryn said.
Aeryn stood up after the shock ran out of Crichton�s face and he then leaned forward and gave her a small kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck to bring him closer. Falling back on the bed he began to unzip her clothing as she did him. Lost in the sensations of each other and in the passion neither knew what was to come but they did know they�d be together.
�So when should we tell everyone,� Crichton said.
�Hmmm�later like in the morning,� Aeryn said snuggling closer.
It wasn�t that long before they were married on Moya by Zhaan, and neither of them knew of a happier moment in their life. Watching her sleep was still one of his pleasures since she usually fell asleep before him. It surprised him that he would find his soulmate on the other side of the galaxy. He also knew that it surprised her that she would find true happiness with an alien.
�John Robert Crichton I�ll kill you for this,� Aeryn said leaving their quarters.
�What I�d do,� Crichton asked.
�Everything alright John,� D�argo asked.
�I have no clue I come in and she says she want to kill me,� Crichton said.
�That�s married life,� D�argo said.
�I just think it�s that time of the month she be a little emotional last few days,� Crichton said.
�Then I�d say apologies even if it�s not your fault,� D�argo said.
�D�argo I�m the husband that mean it�s always my fault,� Crichton said.
�You learn fast,� D�argo said and they both started to laugh.
Aeryn sat alone on one of the lower decks trying her hardest not to cry, and she had no idea why. She knew why she was going to cry but she didn�t know what she was going to cry over. Maybe it was that she couldn�t tell Crichton she was 5 weeks pregnant, they had only been Married 2 months. And that was the bad thing about sebacean�s pregnancy the women get very emotion over every thing. If they weren�t mad they were crying and if they weren�t crying they were too serious or depressed.
�Aeryn,� Crichton said
�Over here,� Aeryn said wiping her tears away.
�I�m sorry baby whatever I did I am sorry,� Crichton said pulling her into a tight hug.
�It�s not your fault I�m just a little emotional right now,� Aeryn said.
�I know you�ll be back to normal in a few days,� Crichton said.
�Try months,� Aeryn said.
�Why months what wrong is that why you were crying,� Crichton asked.
�Yes�no�John I�m pregnant and I didn�t know how to tell you,� Aeryn said.
�Wow,� Crichton said.
�Are you happy�so you know I�ll be very emotional anything you say will effect me,� Aeryn said.
�Yes and I�ll be careful,� John said hugging her again.
�So how�s it going papa to be,� Chiana said.
�Let just say I am very happy that Aeryn has only three more months,� Crichton said.
�Why is she that bad,� Chiana said.
�No it�s not for me�she�s happy to be pregnant but scared,� Crichton said.
�Scared�Aeryn Sun-Crichton,� Chiana said.
�This is the first sebacean-human baby ever she doesn�t know what expect,� Crichton said.
�She�ll do great�if anyone can do it Aeryn can,� Chiana said.
Aeryn heard the whole conversation and went to her room and fell asleep with a smile on her face. If they believed that she can do it then so did she. After a few more months Aeryn gave birth to a baby boy and she held him and cry thanking whatever god was listen to her prays. Then it hit her what day it was, she knew that Crichton had no idea but she knew. She and Crichton had been married over a year now by three weeks, but it was today that they had met 4 years before.
�So what is his name,� Zhaan asked.
�Corran,� Aeryn said.
�So this is what again,� Zhaan asked as every came into the gallery.
�A baptism,� Crichton said.
�And this is an important custom,� Zhaan asked.
�Yes,� Crichton said.
�I Zhaan baptize you Corran Jackson Sun-Crichton may you leave a long healthy life,� Zhaan said putting a slash of water and herbs on his forehead.
�I love you,� Aeryn said.
�And I love you too,� Crichton said looking at the child Aeryn was holding.
�Crichton I thought our wedding day was there happiest moment in my life�I was wrong this is,� Aeryn said leaning over and giving him a kiss.
Crichton pulled away from the kiss and saw that Aeryn eyes were full of love and happiness as she held their son in her arms. D�argo was talking to Chiana and smiling as Zhaan explained this whole custom to them. Now he had to ask D�argo the hardest question one he hoped meant the same here as it did on earth.
�I�d also like to ask you D�argo if you�d be our son�s godparent,� Crichton said.
�You want me to be Corran�s guardian,� D�argo asked.
�Yes you and Chiana since you two are to be married in a few weeks,� Crichton said.
�It will be a great honor,� D�argo said.
�Yes thank you,� Chiana said.
As Crichton watched D�argo and Chiana go over to Aeryn and start to talk he began to understand something. A marriage just isn�t two people promising them selves to one other for a lifetime. No it was more then that it was asking a person to be come one with them and excepting them no matter what. A marriage just isn�t two people either no for a marriage to truly be real and full of happiness you needed the love of your family and friends. That was the real truth of marriage and for the first time he truly understood it.
The End
