Four months passed and the couples went about their job duties until Dee and Kara were put on duty restrictions. Dee did not mind so much, but Kara was climbing the walls not being able to fly and watch over her “Nuggets’” performances during trainings. With nothing to do but walk around the ship to get a little exercise, Dee and Kara walked until they got to the observation deck.
Dee looked at Kara and Kara at Dee. “Dee. I know we really haven’t gone in here much since that night. I want you to know how sorry I was and am. I love you Dee and I never want to hurt you, Sam or Lee ever again.” “Forget it Starbuck. I have. I love you too and I can really see what Lee saw in you now that we have been married.” “Thanks Dee. That means a lot. You know, I want this marriage to work. Some of the crew are betting against it and I’d really love to prove them wrong. That’s why I wanted to make sure you and I were really okay ya know?” “Yeah, I know. Don’t worry. We are.” She hugged Kara and then draped her arm around her neck as the two walked back home.
When they got there they both looked at each other and then at the bed. “Last one to the bed is a rotten egg!” “No fair, there’s three of us having to get there.” That was Dee. Starbuck laughed and said, “Ah, yeah, and?” Dee threw a pillow at her once she finally waddled to the bed. They both howled with laughter.
Sam and Lee came in the door and just looked at their wives with wonder. “This ought to be a good night. Both of our wives laughing and in a good mood? No complaints of feet swelling and ‘Do I look fat in this?’ Yep, it’s gonna be a good night.” Kara and Dee laughed, looked at each other and then threw their pillows at Sam and Lee. “Pillow fight!” The guys got in on the action and before long they were all in a heap on the bed, puffing and out of breath; laughing until their sides hurt. This was how it was supposed to be.
Sam looked at Lee and gave him the signal that he wanted to be alone with Dee for a while. “Hey Kara. Come take a walk with me and help me raid the galley. I thought I saw some salted caramel algae ice cream in the freezer.” Kara looked at Dee, “Ya want I should bring you some pickles and ice cream back? Dee wrinkled her nose at the prospect of algae ice cream, but nodded yes to the pickles.”
Sam grabbed Dee and kissed her long and hard and whispered, “I love you so much Dee. I hope you never doubt my love for you.” Dee smiled at Sam, but with a little worried look in her eyes. “I love you too, but why would you say that? You have never given me a reason to doubt your love for me Sam.” Sam nodded and said, “I know, but now that Kara and I and you and Lee are having babies, I know I will have to spend more time helping Kara with the baby and I’m sure Lee wants to bond with the twins. That may not leave a whole lot of time for us to be together.” “Sam, it’s not like we don’t live together.” She smiled her winning smile at him. “I’m sure we can work something out, besides we have our own babies to make remember?” He rubbed her stomach. “How could I forget? I can’t wait to get back into practice with you." He stood massaging her shoulders. “I just meant that once the kids get here our time may not be as free as it is now.” “Oh. I guess you’re right, but I still think we can work something out, and nothing says we can’t have fun tonight. No time like the present, so snap to attention Anders.”
Sam shook his head. “Are you sure Dee? I don’t want us to do anything to harm the twins.” She smiled and said, “Doc said as long as it’s nothing rough I should be okay for the next month and a half, then he’s cutting me off. Says I probably would be too uncomfortable anyway by the time I get to 8 or 9 months.” “Well then, what are we waiting for?” Dee giggles as Sam swoops her up off her feet and takes her to the bed.
