As he eats his sandwiches he watches Shu focus on her food. She slowly reaches for one of the small squares and lifts it to her mouth. As she pops the whole thing into her mouth her eyes close and she moans as she begins to chew. Aaron blushes and his heart speeds up just listening to her. How can she make eating so sexy?

Aph manages to eat 2 more before her stomach starts to cramp a little. She glances at her glass of milk and sighs knowing she's going to have to ask for help. She turns to look at Aaron but it seems he's way ahead of her.

She watches Aaron lift her glass of milk up off the tray and bring it to her lips. She takes a small sip at first and as she feels the cool liquid move down her throat and hit her stomach she can't help but sigh as the chill chases the ache away. After a couple more sips she nods her head to let him know that he can put the glass back on her tray.

She turns to look at him and offers him a smile, "Thank you F.C. The food tastes wonderful. I always did love your grilled ham and cheese sandwiches."

Aaron smiles back and nods toward her soup, "No problem Shu. You want to try some of your husband?"

Aph freezes before realizing he was joking with her and talking about her food. For a second there she thought he was talking about himself, "I suppose. It's a good thing I didn't sign a prenup saying I couldn't eat him."

Aaron chuckles as he lifts her bowl, fills the spoon, gently blows on it and then lifts it to her mouth. Her lips close over the spoon and as the creamy mixture hits her taste buds her eyes tear up and she moans again. Everyone in the room turns to look at her but she doesn't notice.

Aaron shakes his head and laughs, "Do we need to get you two a private room?"

Aph's eyes look around the room and a deep blush spreads across her cheeks, "I'm sorry but you might. The chives and the bacon give it such an amazon flavor! I don't remember food ever tasting this good."

Carter clears his through, "You haven't eaten in months so your taste buds are relearning what everything tastes like. Oh, and Aaron, thanks for making me some, you didn't have to."

Aaron quietly growls but nods at Carter. He continues to feed Shu the soup until the bowl is empty and then watches her eat two more sandwiches. She chases them with a couple sips of her milk and then collapses against her pillow.

She rests her hand against her stomach and smiles, "F.C. that was awesome. I wish I could eat more but I'm stuffed. You can have the rest if you're still hungry."

Aaron looks at what's left of her sandwiches which is just over a full sandwich and shrugs. He grabs her plate and quickly eats them. When her plate is empty, he stacks it on top of his, stacks their bowls on top of the plates and then carries them and his empty glass to the kitchen. He purposefully left her glass behind to try and get her to finish drinking her milk.

Melissa meets him at the sink, takes the dishes from him and shoos him away, "You made lunch so I'll clean up. Why don't you see if you can get her to work on some physical therapy?"

He was actually thinking the same thing and turns back to Shu to see an uneasy look on her face. Making it to her side he tilts his head until she's looking at him and raises his brows, "What's wrong Shu?"

Aph briefly returns his look and then looks away, "I um, I have to use the restroom."
