"Jack- Dean?" He was looking up at her with those beautiful eyes, taking her in and smiling. He was pale, he looked weak, but he was here, alive, talking and looking at her.
"Jack- Dean, I love you!" The words were out before she could take them back, but she did not wake to take them back, not now, not ever. She wrapped her arms around him, feeling the tears rush free, feeling the happiness burst from her.
"I love you too." His words were a whisper, but they were all Maria wanted to here. The doctors were right. He was going to heal, he was going to be fine. They were going to be fine.
She loved him and he loved her. Finally, finally, everything was right in the world. The righting had stopped, Jack- Dean was safe and she could be with him, now and forever.
Everything was right in the world and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Jack- Dean was here and she was home.
THE END
