Krysia returned home to rest. Walking over to the sofa she sat down and put her feet up to rest her swollen ankles, she was looking forward to when James got home she’d spent her whole time worrying more about him than herself.

James arrived back at their quarters. As the doors opened he noticed that she was on the couch walking over in his torn uniform he bend down to give her a kiss. “How’s the ankle doing”. James asked as he sat down.

“Still swelling” Krys smiled as she looked at her husband. “It’s due to the amount of weight I’m carrying around, I just need to keep my feet up when I’m resting.

James laud back as he tried to get his own aching body sorted out. James smiled as he looked at his uniform. He really needed a shower and a change of clothes. Looking at Krys he said, “how’s the twins doing?”

Krys smiled as she rested her hands on her bump. “They’re fine, they’re more active than me!” She grinned. “To be honest I was really surprised to be added to an away team in my condition, I was expecting to be stuck aboard ship. I’ll admit it’s easier to put my feet up and rest but I don’t want to sit around for the next two to three months. I need to keep fit and healthy ready for the when the time comes to see our children into the world.”

“I was surprised as well, but I knew Nyx would never put you in any danger. I glad be were all able to make it back to the ship is one piece, “ James chuckled a bit, “well, more or less we did get banged up a bit.” James laid back as he brought her head to his shoulder and put his hands on her stomach and felt the babies kick. James smiled as he kissed Krys forehead, “should be anytime now shouldn’t it.”

“Anytime in the next month or two, Aeryn said that given I’m having twins I may need to be delivered slightly early, it depends on how big the twins are and how my body is coping with the demand put upon it.” She smiled at James’ hand resting on her bump. Their twins seemed to like it when her stomach was touched, they always became more active. “They like it when you’re here, hearing your voice and feeling your touch. Pretty much like me really!”

James smiled and said, “I can’t wait to hold them. Hopefully we will be closer to home when they come, I hate to be in the middle of a crisis and have you go into labor.”

“I hope so too! I don’t want to be stuck like poor Emilie was.” She smiled as she rested her head on James’ shoulder, “I just want us to be together at the time, I need you to be with me.”

James smiled as he reached over to put his arms around her, “Nothing will keep me from getting to you or being there for the birth of our children. Hopefully we will be closer to home when they are born, I’d hate to still be in dangerous territory”. James kissed her and continued, “just promise me you will try to take it easy and stay out of harms way.”

Krysia nodded. “I promise! I want to be on the bridge for the ride home but that’s all I’m doing. “Let’s just hope we get home safely.
