Spoilers; Not really any, perhaps tiny one for DC, but not really anything else.

Thumb. Thumb.

The sound in her ear reminded her of what she had almost lost. Amazing.

After all this time, they had found each other again. Finally.

And this time, she wasn't letting go, wasn't letting insecurities and protocol getting in her way.

She had almost lost him, THEM.

Had believed them dead, that brave heart stilled forever.

As she snuggled closer to the warm, slender body next to her, she marvelled yet again at the wonder, which had brought them back together. Who said the universe was cruel?

And with the silent sound of Martouf's heartbeat in her ear, Sam drifted off again, finally happy.

THE END.
