[Milliways] OOM: Jamaica

[his_sarah_jane]

The door from Milliways opens to a small but posh beach house, one the perfect size for two people. After spending the past month stuck in a bar at the end of the universe, Sarah Jane quickly considers it the most beautiful place that she's ever seen. She can hear the ocean surf beating against the sand and the salt air smells wonderful.

Now this, she decides, is the sort of place a pregnant woman should live. Morning sickness has since abated for the day and she feels absolutely wonderful. Placing her bag down by the closet door, Sarah turns to smile brightly at James. It's rather clear from her face that she considers it the best vacation ever. And if not:

"I absolutely love it."

The only sound Sarah makes as he thinks is a small and tired yawn. For the first time since he left, she feels safe again. Safe enough to drift off to sleep without a single worry. For once, she doesn't think about the horrible nausea that tends to accompany waking up. She doesn't think about how falling asleep now means waking up to another uncertain day tomorrow.

She has James again, at least for now. It's always been comfortable in his arms. But right now, Sarah Jane feels a contentment she has never felt before. It's the contentment of being with the man she's truly come to consider family as their child grows and develops inside of her. It's a feeling of home she doesn't think she's ever felt before.

And with that, it's only a few minutes before Sarah Jane truly does fall asleep. Happy.
