Walking towards her quarters with Hurd, Christina looked at him curiously. "Didn't you save Amethyst from a hostage situation earlier today? From what I heard on the ship's grapevine you were injured too.

"That's correct", he said softly. "Got stabbed pretty good in the side, but she got out unharmed, so that's what counts". Pausing, he added, "I came very close to beating the guy to death, but the Commodore stopped me." Seeing the look she gave him, Hurd said, "Don't think I'm violent, because I'm not, but mistreating Women is the one thing that sets me off".

Chrissy nodded understandingly. "I think you're very brave, is your wound site still sore? I understand some wounds take a while before the pain is truly gone."

"We Marines are trained to ignore pain, but yes, I'm sore and hurting a bit."

“Well you can sit and relax in comfort when we get inside.” Chrissy smiled warmly.

As they approached her door Chrissy walked inside motioning for Hurd to follow. "Please make yourself at home." She smiled warmly. Her quarters were warm and inviting, a large faux fur rug adorned the floor, soft blankets stretched across the furniture and there were matching faux fur cushions too. Her favourite pictures of idealic scenes adorned the wall. She also had a toy corner all set up for Kal when he came to stay with her.

Looking around, Hurd smiled and said, "This is very impressive". Taking a seat, Hurd rubbed where his wound had been, and winced a little.

“Here ... let me” Chrissy offered a smile and grabbed her own medical bag from the corner of the room. “I’m not a nurse but I am trained in first aid and I can administer pain relief. I keep a kit handy incase any of the children I look after need first aid.” She pulled out a hyospray. “This is just a mild analgesic, it’ll take the edge off that pain.” She gently pressed the hypo to his neck. “There, that should start to feel better pretty soon. I’ll go get that model car I promised to show you!”

"Ok, and I got a Suprise for you as well!!!", He grinned, watching her walk away.

“Oh really?” Chrissy smiled as she answered from the bedroom as she retrieved the model Impala and returned with it. “Here she is ...” She handed the still boxed model to Hurd. “There’s even a modelled weapons locker in the boot of the car.” She took a seat beside Hurd.

Looking at the car closely, Hurd was amazed at the detail. Every scratch, ding, and marking in the show was replicated in exact detail. "This is amazing", he excaimed smiling. "I've never seen this level of detail before!!!".

“I know it’s brilliant isn’t it!?” Chrissy grinned as she nodded in agreement.

Reaching in a pocket on his Armour, he pulled a isoleniar chip out, smiled, and said, "This right here took me a lot of time, energy, and Latinum to get ahold of, but it's an extreamly detailed and adaptive holdeck program that puts you and another person in the roles of Sam and Dean throughout the entire series".

“Seriously!” Chrissy’s eyes lit up. “We seriously have to try it sometime but I’d prefer to be in a female role instead of a male one, but we could sort that then.”

Laughing a bit, Hurd replied, "Ok, I can do that." Falling silent, Hurd said, "You really do have lovely quarters"

“Thank you” Chrissy smiled. “I’m a woman who loves her creature comforts.” She sat looking at him before realising she was practically staring. “Can I ... get you anything? A drink or something to nibble?”

Looking at his feet, he was blushing so bad, he replied, "A Coke would be fine". He continued to stare at his feet, not wanting her to see how red his face really was.

“Coke it is ...” Chrissy have Hurd a curious look. “Are you blushing?” She grinned. “What did I say to embarrass you?” She stopped to think. “Oh ... I think I ...” She fetched his drink smiling as she handed it over. “You did say you were free until duty hours tomorrow morning didn’t you?”

His face still red as a beat, Hurd replied, "Yeah, I kinda am blushing", he smiled still not looking up. A second later he added, "And yeah, I'm free untill 0845 hours tommorrow".

“Uh-huh” Chrissy smiled and nodded. “Since the idea of something to nibble makes you blush, I thought there might be something else on your mind.”

"What do you mean?", Hurd asked intrigued. "I don't want you to think I have some sort or ulterior motives or anything", he said looking at her smiling, his face red as the sun.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to embarrass you” Chrissy sat beside him as she looked into his eyes. “I was simply ...” She paused before leaning forward and gently kissing him. It was all she could think of to do. She let the kiss linger before pulling away. “Would you ... like to stay?”

Feeling like electricity was flowing through him, it took a moment before he was able to speak. "Yes, I'd like that very much." Looking into her eyes, Hurd smiled and said, "I'd like that a lot".

Chrissy smiled the biggest smile yet. “I was hoping that’s what you’d say!” She took his hand and looked towards the bedroom. “Perhaps we should continue this in the bedroom? That’s if it’s not going to hurt you!” She motioned to his side.

Gripping her hand, Hurd laughed and said, "Me, hurt, Chrissy over the years I've been shot, stabbed, exposed to the vaccumme of space, caught in explosions and the like and I'm still here". Smiling he added, so I think it's pretty safe to say nothing much can cause me physical pain short of being set on fire". "So lead the way".

Chrissy smiled as she nodded and gently pulled him towards the bedroom, she didn’t make a habit of bringing men home to sleep with them this man felt special to her and she wanted to show him just how special.

~ Sometime Later ~

Chrissy lay contentedly intertwined with Hurd’s body and the bed sheet her head resting on his shoulder and her arm draped over his chest. “I wasn’t expecting to be doing this anytime soon.” She smiled warmly.

Smiling back, Hurd ran his hand through her hair and said, "Neither was I to be honest." Pondering his next words for a moment, he asked, "So, we are a couple now, right?"

Chrissy nodded she was enjoying the feel of Hurd's fingers running through her hair. "Yes, we most definitely are."

"Good", He said, kissing her gently on the cheek. "Im very glad we are." "So, what do you think people are going to say when they hear the new guy is with the most attractive woman on the ship?".

"I'm hoping they'll think you're a lucky man and I'm a lucky woman to have you!" Chrissy grinned as she looked up at him. "So how's about joining me for a movie tomorrow night? I'll have snacks ready and we can cuddle up on the sofa together?"

"Oh that sounds delightfull!!!", Hurd boomed. Turning his head to look into her eyes, he said, "It's kind of a secret but there is a competition of sorts comming up and I'd love to to have you in my corner". Seeing the puzzled look in here eyes, he added, "It will be fun, and bring the crew together".

“Exactly what do you have in mind?” She wasn’t sure whether to be excited or worried.

Cracking a wry smile, Hurd shook his head playfully. "It's a suprise hun, but one I think the entire crew will enjoy, trust me on that one,"

Chrissy nodded. “Then I guess I’ll find out soon enough.”
