Alice smiles softly into returning his kiss. As she breaks away from the kiss, her mind once more drifts as the room seems to almost melt away to that of a holiday dinner, a dinner in her soon to be in laws' dining room. The room tastefully decorated with all of the trappings of a rural Maryland/Virginian Christmas. From over Jon's shoulder she could just make out the lovely stone fireplace with the brightly decorated tree beside it. The soft glow from its lights danced softly with the amber hue from the fire burning in the hearth.
From where she sat, she watched Jon, Xyl and his father smiling as they swapped Starfleet stories back and forth, their voices soft and subdued by this sudden vision the room was hazy as if she were in some far off dream state. On her other side sat Jon's mother passing a plate of turkey and gravy over to Josh who gratefully accepted it. Beside of Josh sat Billie Jo, her smile was beatific, almost as if she too were finally at peace...and home as she shard a joke with Sery who was wearing a festive 'Santa Hat' adorned with a small jingle bell which occasionally rang as she nodded her head.
A muted cry to her left caused her to turn around and see a small baby with hiss golden locks in adorable disarray. The baby looked at her with a look of utter love and hunger for she still held a spoon full of mashed potatoes before her son...
...her son....
She smiled as she spoon fed the happy child, all around her were the sounds of muted laughter, and finally a sense of belonging...

Jon bursts out laughing again, holding Alice tightly as he tries to compose himself.
Alice blinks and offers a light hearted laugh as she joins Jon in laughing at...whatever he had been laughing at...
Alice looks over to Jon a small look of confusion in her eyes.
"What? Yes?"

Jon smiles and nuzzles her nose.
"Just checking to make sure you were still with me."

Alice smiles softly and returns the nose nuzzle.
"Oh yes..." She said quietly "Where else would I be babe?"

Alice reaches up to lightly touch his cheek tenderly.
"You must know that is all I ever wish babe..."

Alice hugs him back just as tightly, though over his shoulders her eyes do not close, yet hold a soft far away look of saddness

Jon gently runs his fingers through her hair, sensing that something was not right. He whispers into her ear.
"I'm here."

Therese can not help but laugh at Serys adorable outburst and rants, admiring her with a smile as she listens to her tell things exactly how it is. The comment about support wheels on chopsticks becoming the top of the break from reality as for a moment there is only there here and now, a very amusing here and now.
Seeing Walker zone out, she studies the human carefully, seeing that she seems happy once she has returned, the Trill softly asks
"Where did it take you this time?"

Alice pulls back from Jon a little and looks down some. She draws a breath and sighs it out.
"I was...at a dinner...a holiday dinner....with Jon and his family..." Her head rests to Jon's forehead now. "Josh included..." She looks over to Xy and Sery.
"You were there....with Sery and Billie Jo with...Josh..." She closes her eyes a moment.
"It was...so lovely and peaceful...so perfect...a snapshot from a time...a life i always wanted...."
"I....I..felt it...like a future memory....i know that sounds dumb.."

Jon smiles and pulls Alice back towards him, his tone very warm.
"What if it was?"

Alice looks down immediately a single tear slips down her cheek softly. Her voice small and sad.
"It...it can't be babe..." She sniffs some.
"It just can't be...

Jon wipes away the tear, leaning in for a kiss.
"Whether it is or not it sounded wonderful. I hope it is."
