Mission: Cead Mile Failte
Location: Jon and Callie's quarters
Timeline: Backpost- Just before current mission

Jon was standing in the middle of the living room floor, in his and Callie's quarters. it was still a few minutes before Callie arrived home. Standing there he thought about how fate and intervened in his life and turned it around. His mind went back to when Essie had been sent back to Earth in stasis. To get the medical treatment she needed. His life, his dreams were over, Happiness was gone. He felt all dried up inside, a writhed husk.

Then that all changed a few days later when Callie came back into his life when she came aboard the Washington as Chief Counselor. He never expected to see her again after their last heated argument over the lost of their unborn child. If that shock wasn't enough, Callie delivered another shock to him in that they were still married. The divorce papers had been lost and never filed.

After clearing the air and admitting their love for each other, they decided to give their marriage another chance and have never looked back nor regretted that decision. Their love was never stronger They are the proud parents of Harry, Shon and Steven. Standing in the middle of the living room, he spoke "Computer, play Still the One by Orleans." A second later the music of the up tempo song filled the quarters and Jon began to sing.

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never wanna see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one I wanna talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun and you're still the one
I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I wanna take along
We're still having fun and you're still the one (yes, you are)
Ooh
Ooh
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun and you're still the one
You're still the one who can scratch my itch
You're still the one that I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun and you're still the one
You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun and you're still the one
You are still the one
You're still the one
We're still having fun and you're still the one.


As the song played, he whispered, "I love you Callie Raven- Grayson. I always have and I always will."
