Desolate

Desolate highway

    The next morning as they drove out Lee noticed that as Alli stared out the window she was starting to look a little older. Sighing he reach over and took her hand, she glanced at him then slid closer into the middle seat. After a while Alli had laid her head down on his lap and fell straight to sleep, her long blonde hair fanned out across his lap. she had a small smile on her lips as she dreamed which Lee hoped those dreams included him. Miles later he heard her whimper and carefully he observed her.

Allis eyes

    Pain flared up as Alli woke up, at first she tensed as she tried to remember where she was. She was in a vehicle she knew that much and somehow she was in someones lap? Her eyes flew open as she realized she was staring up into Lees concerned light blue eyes. She had mostly healed but she still had issues with stiffness and random pain. She asked Lee if they could stop so she could get out and stretch, immediately he pulled over and helped her out of the truck. She could feel Lees eyes on her as she did her stretching and walking out the pain. She had taken pills before they left Alamo, but knew it was time for her next set. After she finished her last water in her bottle, Lee was behind her. He pulled her against him and for a long time they held on to each other, on the side of a Desolate highway.

    Eventually they got back in the truck and started off again cautiously Lee asked why the General had said she was depressed when he honestly did not see her that way. Laughing softly she explained she had been that though she knew the General was doing everything in his power for her, she missed him and the boys desperately and could only think of coming home. She had missed being useful and told him her fears of not being wanted by him or the militia anymore. Lee quickly told her of course she was wanted and for her to have more confidence in herself. He also told her how he wished he had been the one who had held her hand and been there every moment through her darkest days. Alli tried to reassure Lee that having the army pay for everything had been a good thing, the militia could use those resources on others who need it. Growling at her Lee gently squeezed her hand. Laughing at this response, Alli replied she knew he didn't want her talking like that. As her pills kicked in All laid her head down in Lee's lap again, she felt him lay his hand on her belly and as she went to sleep she knew some how things would work out...

Lees eyes

    Alli was asleep again and Lee was happy she was there with him, he had been amazed at her progress and silently thanked the General for taking care of her. He had appreciated all the man had done. As Lee drove he listened to music, and Alli slept though most of the drive. Silently he hoped she would'nt push herself to far and knew he was going to have to remind her to take it easy. Looking down at her she looked peaceful in his lap, Lee traced her jawline with his thumb she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had been through so much and still retained her beauty, She now had a few small wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. and he could tell she had some grey strands starting to show in her blonde hair. He smiled because Lee had always dreamed of growing old with Alli. To him this just made her more stunning. Suddenly he was staring down into her blue eyes, a huge smile crossed her lips as she re positioned and fell back to sleep. Chuckling softly Lee continued on the long drive thinking about what the future had in store for them.
