-Jess-
The next day at the ARC Jess was able to act like nothing really had had happened, Becker and her had shared a bed during the night, and in the morning they both tried to play it cool when Abby opened up the door to let them out.
Neither of them had yelled at either Abby or Connor for locking them in the bedroom together. They would have been completely justified in doing so but they didn't, an action that only served to unsettle Connor and Abby.
In a way that had been Becker's and Jess goal all along, because sometimes doing nothing makes more of an impression than doing something.
Jess was looking over some reports when she heard footsteps come up behind her, she recognized the sound of Becker's combat boots as he walked up closer to her. For the past few days Jess emotions have taken her on a down-and-up rollercoaster ride that went right off the tracks and onto the fairgrounds – all the way into the parking lot, Becker leaned forward his cheek coming close beside her.
"You look nice today Jess." He commented, Jess gave a little smile. She wasn't wearing anything special, simple jeans and a hoddie.
"Thank you Becker." Jess replied feeling uplifted at his compliment.
The alarms blared as an anomaly opened up.
-Becker-
Becker watched as Jess morphed into action, he smiled to himself admiring her skill as he turned his attention to the rest of the team as the raced towards the parking garage. Becker wanted to get Jess a present later, something to let her know that he had been preoccupied with thoughts of her all day; he couldn't decide what to get her yet however.
As Becker was driving to the anomaly sight when he heard Jess say over the comlink.
"Becker take a right turn now." She requested, Becker was about to turn down the street she indicated when he looked down it and saw it was a dead end leading to an entrance to the river Thames.
Shaking his head with a smile on his lips and a laugh in his voice he replied back to Jess "Not falling for that again Jessica."
"Becker seriously turn…" Jess cried just as Becker adverted his attention back to the road, and he was just in time for him to watch a triceratops ram into his truck, flipping it over. A sudden darkness enveloped Becker.
-Jess-
Jess looked at the screen where Becker's signal had gone still her mouth agape.
"Becker…are you there?" She asked, there was no reply.
"Becker answer me." She said with more force, and sill there was no response.
"Matt something has happened to Becker please get to him." She relayed.
"I'm on it Jess." Came Matt's reply as she watched his signal go towards Becker's, Jess waited in tension filled silence as she waited for news as she saw Matt reach Becker
"Jess we needs an ambulance right away." Matt barked, Jess was already sending one over even before the request, she worked flawlessly coordinating other teams to find the creature.
"Matt what happened to him?" Jess asked, trying to guard the panic coming to her now.
"The triceratops flipped his car." Matt explained sharply, at that second Jess realized how that little prank that she had pulled – something that was funny and seemed insignificant – had just had a ripple effect. Closing her eyes Jess bit back the tears as she did her best to focus on the task at hand.
-Becker-
Becker opened his eyes slowly. 'Shit something hurts.' He thought testing the limits of his body in contrast with the pain he was feeling.
"Becker?" Hearing Jess voice made the haze of sleep clear and wake him up, he looked around. He could clearly see that he was in a hospital – still wasn't clear on how he got there however. Jess wrapped her arms around him, it hurt but the joy of having her close canceled out the pain and he hugged her back.
"Becker this is all my fault if I hadn't off played that trick on you before then you wou..." Becker silenced her with a kiss pulling her on top of him, she kissed him back with an equal amount of passion but she pulled back looking at him concerned.
"Becker your hurt." She protested, in an answer to that Becker started kissing her neck, ears, and face, soon his tongue was in her mouth as she let out a content sigh. When they pulled apart he looked at her dead in the eye.
"I want you." Becker said his voice deep and resonating, Jess at first looked like she was going to protest but a small smirk formed on her delicate mouth.
"What the hell…" She replied giggling as she leaned down kissing Becker as she let him pull her under the sheets with him.
