Rm 217 Sunday evening

[fantastic_torch]

After kicking angel ass, because yes, that is what he referred it to, Johnny came back to his room to wait for Savannah. This had to work, right? She was coming back and everything was going to be fine.

Well, it would be fine after he kicked her ass. Then he would hold her forever and not let go.

It's just the way things were going to be.

He was more than a tad anxious.

[Post is for the girlfriend.]

He held her tight. "Don't, shh, baby... it's done and overwith and you're here and there is no reason to berate yourself, okay? But this won't ever happen again, you hear me? I can't go through worry like this anymore. It nearly crushed me," he whispered, bending his head to kiss the top of hers.

"I helped you know, take care of the angels..."

She held onto him, just taking comfort in the fact that she was back with him and that he was here. She shook her head. "I hate that you went through that and I'll be more careful," she promised. "I will... I don't want..." She raised tear-filled eyes to look at him. "I know. I knew that as soon as you found they had done something to me that you would do everything in your power to take care of them and stop them."

He brushed his thumbs back across her cheeks, staring down into her eyes. "How... how did you live? What did you do? Can you remember any of it?"

Savannah swallowed. "I remember every minute of every day of those nine months I was away from you, Johnny. The first few days were harder than anything because I kept using any spell I could think of to try to do something to get us back to you -- but I would up burning myself out and just being so angry and upset. It was hard to keep my emotions and my powers under control like that." She looked up into his face again. "If it wasn't for Wyatt... I honestly don't know what would have happened, Johnny. He kept me from melting down and getting into too much trouble..." Well, if you didn't count that demon nest... oh and the mummy... and that book she almost opened...

She sighed softly. "I finally got a job as a hostess at a bar-type thing. Dressing up in the clothing of that time and serving drinks while we kept doing research and trying to find a way back home..." She had tears sliding down her face. "I spent your birthday at one of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings wondering if some of their curses and magic could bring me back to you for your birthday..."

"So much... so much in the course of only three days here. It's unbelievable yet I know it happened. I can't imagine what you went through - I only wish I was there with you. I should have gotten up, gone with you to the preserve that day. I should have... I could have prevented you from being taken... done something, anything..."

Savannah shook her head. "If you had been there at the preserve, there is no guarantee that you would have ended up with me... and you are not allowed to feel guilty for not getting up to go with me, love. I thought I had worked it all out where I would be safe and where they couldn't get me... but they did and it's not anything you didn't do in protecting me. It was waiting for me, Johnny. " She looked up at him and tears were sliding down her face. "I missed you so much and I was so scared you hated me for getting taken... and I tried to run when it attacked, Johnny. I wasn't going to fight it."

"Shh, please don't cry, it breaks my heart to see you cry, Savannah." Pulling her closer, he stepped back and sat down on their bed, bringing her down upon his lap so he could cradle her against his chest. "I didn't hate you, I could never hate you."

[GAhhh! I guess it would help if I actually clicked post comment! *facepalm*]

Savannah curled close to him. "I missed you so much and I was so angry at myself for not being able to escape the damn statues -- or get myself back from Cairo." She swallowed. "I thought I had missed your birthday and was going to miss Christmas, too..."


[[*snuggles* Is okay.]]

"My birthday," he chuckled, caressing her hair, "is just another day, sweetheart. But Christmas without you would have been very lonely."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Your birthday is not just another day to me, love," Savannah said softly. "It's a day that's all about you. And missing Christmas..." She had done her best to prepare herself for that eventuality. Mainly, she had planned to take a bottle of something and spend the day alone in her room in a massive drunken stupor. Well, if she had been able to avoid Wyatt getting worried about her.

"I love you, god I love you," Johnny said, moving his hands over her. "You are so strong and I'm so proud of you."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I love you, Johnny, love you so much." She leaned into his hands, just needing to feel him touching her.

"I'm not strong," she said honestly. "I cried every day."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

That was hard to handle, knowing that she cried everyday, and he choked up, unable to respond to that so instead he buried his face in her hair, her neck, inhaling the scent of her that was all too familiar.

Savannah turned in his lap and held onto him tightly. "Not going to leave you," she promised. "Not going to get separated again."

He nodded, holding her close, swallowing the lump that was stuck in his throat. "Never...again..."

"Never again..." she repeated, holding onto him tightly. "Never..."
