Following the briefing, Yadira and Finchley shared a passionate kiss and she hurried away before he could see her tears. Her orders were crystal clear with no explanation as to why and that made Kerr madder than hell.
Finchley watched Yadira go, and his heart sank, when would they be back together again?
Packing the few items she had left, she left for DS 9 in her shuttle. She had four years of memories tied up in the Blackeagle and being even around her made want to hurry away before she did something she might regret. Seeing the shuttle, she practically ran to get on board. "Ensign, Get us the hell outta here now!" she hollered.
"Yes Captain" he said and quickly took off. It was not more than twenty minutes past but what the Ensign told her she had a priority one message. Grudgingly she answered the communique. Yadira almost fell off the seat. She read the message again, "Oh my god!"
Finchley, now sitting in his Ready Room, saw a priority message appear on his console screen. Tapping in his security code, he began to read.
"Ensign, turn this thing around and double time back to the station, Now!" she hollered. She had to get word out to Finchley and fast.
=/\= Risen to Finchley, please respond. Hold the Blackeagle. I have been reassigned to her as Mission Advisor! I'm coming home," she said, closing the commlink. The shuttle turned around and sped back to the Blackeagle.
Finchley had literally just finished reading the message when Yadira's voice came through the patched through COMM link. His heart was racing as he hit the button to reply "Hey, I just read the message sent just now, that wonderful news!, I'll meet you on the shuttle bay deck my sweet."
It was only twenty minutes since the shuttle landed, but to Yadira it seemed like an eternity. Just to go home to her former command and to a ship she loved was the best news she is received. Standing outside was Finchley and she could sense his emotions and they were strong.
Bounding down the ramp, she dropped her bags and jumped into his arms. She didn't care who saw them. They were going to be married soon and that was that. "Imzadi! I will be here with you always, as will my undying love," Yadira said kissing him deeply.
Finchley caught Yadira as she jumped into his arms, and she kissed him, he kissed her back passionately. Lowering her down gently he said "It's wonderful that you've returned to us sweetheart, and know that your undying love has returned to me. Now, let's get you unpacked, then we have a couple of hours before we set off for the Chin'toka system to have a little fun!" he winked.
Yadira knew what his wink meant, holodeck time and the sky was going to not be the limit. "I can't wait my love, to be back finally in your beautiful strong arms. I always felt safe in your arms," she added, squeezing him tightly. "Do you suppose we could get married before Chin'toka mission," Yadira whispered.
"We can indeed sweetheart, and I know just the person who can perform it, but we'll be cutting it fine to get him here" Finchley replied "However, fun first, the marriage, the Chin'toka...what do you say, shall we?"
