Jim nodded slowly, a sad smile on his face and kissed Rachel. He closed his eyes again and pulled her up, sitting her down on his lap. He buried his face just under her collarbones, trying to calm down. And he tried to hold back some tears.
"I'll...I'll just leave you two alone for a moment.", Anna mumbled and walked off to the kitchen.

Hunter poked his nosetip, smirking evily. "That you sometimes treat me as if I'm a vulnerable, little girl who can't protect herself."

[Scripted Away]

Rachel softly stroked through his hair with her one hand, her other arm wrapped around him.
"It's okay, my love...i'm here for you. right here...", she whispered.
"In the rustle of a curtain
In the bustle of the world
In a thousand little unexpected ways
When you lift your gaze she will be like the shimmer of one small star
Out there, shining everywhere

She will be there beside you through the lonely nights that fall
So close your eyes, remember her embrace
she will be there like mercy; she will find you through it all
This do I swear, she will be there..."

Mac smirked slightly, looking into the sky for a second.
"Just trying to keep you away from fights i never want to see you dead again...and i know how afraid you are of those and yeah... but i will try to reduce it, alright?"

[I quit:)]

Jim looked up at her and took a deep breath, while a small tear slowly rolled down his cheek.
"I just keep losing everybody...", he mumbled, clenching his teeth together. He kept balling his right hand into a fist, opening it up, balling it into a fist again, opening it up again, and over and over again. "What if it's my fault?", he asked with a sad frown. "I just...all those who deserve to live die and those who deserve to die live..."

Hunter smiled softly and kissed him. "You don't need to reduce it. I also think it's cute. So it's a win-win. You can worry about me - I can dream about you because it's cute.", she said, winked and cuddled against him even tighter. She sighed happily. "Why are you sooo cuddly? Like a big pillow?", she asked, cuddling against him as if he was a pillow.

[Scripted Away]

Rachel softly wiped his tears away, as always, and kissed his forehead.
"Darling, this isn't your fault. old people die. that's the circle of life. i know it hurts...i lost my great grandmother, Maria....i didn't tell you, because at first i didn't want to burden you with more and you didn't know her anyway, so...yeah. she died a week ago. cancer. but it's okay. and they both are in better place now." as Jim saidsomething about deserve to die andlive, she tilted his head and looked into his eyes. "A very wise man once told me 'What gives us the right to decide who deserves to live and who deserves to die?'. "

"Because i'm your fluffy teddybear", Mac said with a chuckle. "Or...cuddly doggy. but you know what i mean."
he laughed silently, resting his cheek on her head. "but i'm still fluffy!"

[I quit:)]

"Rex said that, didn't he?", Jim asked, looking down into Rachel's eyes. >>Find the blue dot<< He sighed sadly. "Why didn't you tell me abou your great-grandmother? It doesn't matter that I didn't know her. You're my wife and she was family, and I could've supported you. Even if we've only been home and together for the past three days, but still I...we could've talked and I could've...helped and...yeah."

Hunter giggled silently and nodded. "Yeah, you're my fluffy doggy!", she said, and ruffled his hair. "I love you, Mac. You know what day it is today?"

[Scripted Away]

Rachel nodded at his question and then just lened her head against his shoulder, cuddling against him.
"why i didn't tell you? do i look like I can't take it? of course it mkes me sad...she...she was awesome. she was always there for me. but i can still see her and i know her suffering finally ended. her pain ended. so i'm okay with it. I don't need to say goodbye. she's still with me. just as mom and dad and rex...i believe the one death i can't handle is...Sam's. because it's all so strange and...i can't see him and yeah..."

Mac smrked slightly, kissing her nosetip. "One year of marriage, my beautiful ice queen.", he said grinning and pulled a little black box out of his bag. "It's nothing...too great or so, but yeah."
he opened the box. there was a heart laying in it, made of the jewel they had found in the crystal cave- Macter, with a sentence engraved: 'every kiss like the first one- every heartbeat like a miracle.'

[I quit:)]

Jim sighed. "I need to tell you something as well." He bit his lip. "While you were sleeping, back in the hospital, yesterday...the doctor told me something. So...Sam's alive. HACK had captured him. They let him free about two weeks ago. He now lives in Germany." He looked at Rachel again, not knowing if he had ever feared so much that she would break.

Hunter's eyes widened. "Oh my god, it's so beautiful!", she gasped with sparkling eyes. "Oh wow! Absolutely stunning!"

[Scripted Away]

Rachel stared at Jim for a minute, opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
raising an eyebrow, she shook her head, stood up and stared out of the window for a moment, still silent.
inhaling through her teeth with a weird, whistling sound, she walked towards the door, opened it and raced up into the sky.

Mac smirked slightly, giving it to hunter.
"Happy anniversary hun", he said, kissing her cheek. "can't believe it's a year already!"

[I quit:)]

Jim jumped up. "Oh no...", he mumbled, walked towards the door and made his wings appear. Racing up into the sky, he called, "RACHEL!" >>Oh sh- fudge!<< "Rachel!"

Hunter smiled softly and kissed Macon. "Okay so...I have a little surprise as well.", she said, grinning slightly.

[Scripted Away]

Rachel flew as fast as never before. her wings were hurting like hell by now, but she didn't care- at all.
>>alive alive alive germany germany germany...DACHSBAU!<<
leaving a trail of burning air behind her, she accelerated even more.

"Your last surprise made me forget my perfect english for a while!", Mac giggled and kissed her back. "Just sayin- if it gets even better, i'm gonna get a heartattack sometime."
