ON:

Syvar stirred but didn't quite wake up. He turned over and wrapped his arm across the warm body that lay next to him. Still half asleep, he smiled to himself.

Sensing the movement, Amelia stirred and stretched. Finally opening her eyes. "Good morning."

Not wanting to move, Syvar just smiled at her as he opened his eyes. "Good morning," he replied. "Did you sleep well?"

"Mmmmm. I did." She moved closer to him. "Did you?" She arched her back and stretched out again. Long and slow. "I don't know about you, but I'm starving. Breakfast?"

"I'm not ready for breakfast," he confessed as he pulled her closer to him, feeling the warmth of her body against his. "You look very lithe when you do that... almost feline," he whispered as he admired her. "A few more minutes, before we get up?"

She giggled a moment and stretched again, letting out a soft feline-like purr, then giggled again. "Well, you know just what to say to keep me close, don't you. She molded her body against him and let out a content sigh.

Amelia's stomach lout out a quiet rumble. "Syvar, I love you and lying here in your arms is the definition of paradise but..." Her voice trailed off as she realised something. One she was soo hungry, even after the fest last night. That could be explained by the... activities afterward but more importantly, she had told him she loved him. She paused for a moment. Yes, yes she did love him. IT felt right to say it. She had shared her mind, he had shared his. She looked at him for a moment, wondering how he would react.

"But..." He prompted as he absorbed her words. In response, he caressed her cheek. "I love you too," he added after a brief pause. If love was the word he'd been looking for to explain how he felt, then he was indeed falling in love. He marveled at that realisation as he'd not been expecting that. Even so... He wanted more than just lying together, he wanted to be with her, and just spend time and not just have sex. From her expectant expression, he hoped she felt the same way too.

At his words, her heart fluttered and she leaned over and kissed him again. "Always the right things to say. I was going to say. I'm hungry. How about you stay right here and I'll fix us some breakfast in bed? Some nice poached eggs with some bacon, baked beans, and hash browns?"

"No bacon for me," he reminded her, "but I'll have everything else. Are you sure you don't want me to help?"

She gave him another kiss. “You wait right here and I’ll be right back. Amelia jumped out of bed and suddenly realised she was still naked, she put on a silk robe she had in her wardrobe and headed for the kitchen. She returned twenty minutes later carrying a tray. On it was two plates with the breakfast Amelia had described. Syvar’s without bacon. There were also two cups of tea and two glasses of orange juice. She placed the tray on the bedside table and handed Syvar his plate. “Here you are.”

"Thank you." Syvar sat up and accepted the plate then held out his other hand to accept hers so that she could crawl back into bed and under the covers. "Are you sure you haven't missed your calling?"

She accepted his hand and joined him back under the covers. “I do enjoy it, but I think I’d miss hopping around the galaxy too much. Amelia ate fairly quickly and soon she’d cleared her plate and was snuggling back up to Syvar. “That was nice. I think I needed it after last night.”

Suddenly her comm system beeped. A voice came over “ Lieutenant Fox. Sorry to disturb you but you’re got an incoming subspace communication from the USS Merlin. Commander Melody Jones.”

Amelia’s face lit up “I’ll take it.” She turned to Syvar and explained. “She’s a friend from the academy. You’ll like her.” She picked up a large PADD and worked the controls. A moment later, a redheaded woman of similar age to Amelia appeared on it.

Amelia grinned at her friend. “Melody! It’s been too long. How are you? I heard you got Command of the Merlin now. Congratulations”.

An initial skeptical look on Melody's face dissolved into a smile. “You’re back. Hey Amelia. It’s good to see you too. The last time I called, I got an impostor.”

Amelia shuddered slightly “I’m afraid so. My counterpart from the mirror universe has been onboard, causing trouble. Don’t worry she’s in our brig now. And did I hear Also you’ve just got married? Who’s the lucky guy?”

“His name is Draxx.” Melody's smile widened then, she spotted something next to Amelia “And speaking of which, I see you’re not alone. I hope I didn’t... interrupt anything.”

Seemingly not bothered by the fact he had no shirt on, Syvar smiled at the other woman. "Only breakfast," he admitted brightly, before kissing Amelia's cheek. "Why don't you two talk while I go get a shower?"

After he had left Melody looked surprised. “He’s a lot more emotional than your normal Vulcan. I can see why you like him.”

Amelia blushes slightly. “I never thought I’d see you get married. You were always going to fast to stay in one place. Are those days behind you?”

Melody shook her head slightly “I still like to go fast but you get different priorities.”

As if on cue a young lady who looked about 18 walked into frame and gave Melody a kiss on the forehead “Hi mom. When’s dinner going to be ready?” Before heading out of view again. It was Amelia’s turn to look surprised.

Melody explained “That’s Sansa. My daughter and it’s a long story.”

“I bet it is...” is all Amelia managed to get out.

“I wanted to make sure you were ok but I hope I haven’t interrupted your quality time. I already offered the support of the Merlin to your Captain but I’m also offering my personal support to you. If you need me at any time, just call and I’ll be there. We should meet up soon and catch up.”

Amelia smiled. “Thanks Melody. You were always there for me. We should meet up. It looks like we have a lot to talk about.”

Melody modded. “Sounds good. We’ll make arrangements later. Speak to you soon.” And with that, the screen went blank.”

Hair still damp, Syvar returned from the bathroom. "You should meet up with her, she sounds like she's a good friend," he commented as he started to gather up his clothes.

Amelia nodded. “She is but how she’s managed to wind up with a teenage daughter so fast is a surprise to me, though I suspect it has something to do with her... unique upbringing.”

Syvar arched an eyebrow at her. "Short of time travel, I have no plausible medical explanation for this. How did it happen?"

She looked at him and explained “Melody’s parents were assimilated by the Borg when she was a baby. From what she told me she was rescued by a Starfleet crew but she’d been in a maturation chamber for roughly 3 months and aged 12 years.”

"From a medical point of view, I'd say she somehow passed on that sped up aging to her daughter," Syvar mused as he continued to gather his clothes.

Amelia sauntered over to Syvar and wrapped her arms around him. “You look cute with your hair mussed up.” She said as she playfully ruffled his hair.

"Do I?" he asked, closing his eyes as she touched his hair, "perhaps I should wear it like this all the time then hm?" He smiled as he dropped his clothes and wrapped his arms around her in turn.

"What? And let all the other women on this ship see how devilishly good looking you really are? When you should be spending time with me, you'll be being chased around by hoards of swooning females." she said playfully.

"Devlish hm?" He chuckled, "I do have the ears, don't I? I wouldn't dream of spending time with another woman... I'm all yours."

She giggled, light and musically. "Always with the right thing to say. And I'm all yours. Unfortunately, Duty calls. Meet me for lunch?" What she wasn't telling him right now it that she had to go talk to her... And she wasn't looking forward to it. She gave him one more kiss before heading to the shower herself.

"I'll meet you anywhere," he promised, "can I get dressed now? I have appointments too this morning." Ones he wasn't quite looking forward to, but ones that had to be attended to.

Amelia called out from the shower "If you must" before it activated.
