Ariana awoke to find herself lying naked on an equally as naked Marcus' chest she thought she'd dreamt their love making and was going to wake up to find it just a very wonderful dream. She lifted her head and flicked her damp hair out of her eyes, they'd made love gently and carefully and she'd enjoyed it she only hoped Marcus had too. She gently slid off his chest and walked across to the replicator to get herself a drink.

It had been one of the best experiences of Marcus short life, he had taken things easy, making sure that he paid close attention to how she reacted to different things and he had learned quite a bit. He movement woke him up, he as well thinking it had only been a nice dream. He looked down at himself and noticed he wasn't wearing anything and when he noticed Ariana was naked as well, he smiled as he knew it wasn't a dream.

Walking back over to the bed Ariana finished her drink before sliding back onto the bunk into her place cuddled up on top of Marcus, she lay down carefully taking care to place her slowly growing baby bump where it was comfortable. "I'm sorry did I disturb you?" she smiled as she ran her fingers across his chest, "I really enjoyed last night."

"Don't feel sorry. I got a really nice look on your backside so I think we are even." he smiled as he stroked her hair. "It was... highly educational and enjoyable on my end." he said truthfully.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it" she smiled as she gently leant forward and kissed him before lying her head back down again. "Did you really mean what you said last night about us being together.... long term?"

"Absolutely. But taking it slow is probably best." he said as he kissed her back.

Ariana smiled "I'm happy with that, are you sure you're ready to take on children as well?" she looked at him concernedly, "given another eight months or so you'll have not just me but two babies as well."

"I don't mind. As long as you stay with me." he smiled at her.

"I hope you still feel that way when I'm walking around here bulging at the seams!" she grinned, "how do you feel about attending my appointments with me? would you be willing to be there when I give birth?"

"I think the bigger you get with the babies the more beautiful you are." Marcus said truthfully. "I would love to attend them with you. But I want you to take some time thinking about me attending the birth. You know I will be there no matter what happens. But the birth is a very private moment, so please think carefully about it. Ok?"

Ariana nodded, "If you're willing to be the father of my children then I want you there with me when they're born, from what I've heard I'm going to need you!" she smiled, "that's the part that scares me"

He was worried of what she would be expecting. "what have you heard?"

"Just that it's a very painful and can be a very long process depending on how fast labour goes. I know modern technology will help with that but it still scares me but I'm not going to dwell on that for now."

"Well I will be there. I don't know much about the labour process. Maybe I should read up on it."

"That would probably be a good idea" she nodded her head, "as for now just keep hold of me... I love to feel you holding me. I never thought I'd feel for anyone again how I feel for you."

Marcus smiled. "I love holding you too. Gives me a sense of comfort I have never had before."

"I doubted my feelings for a little while but I know how I feel for you now" she placed another romantic kiss on his lips, "just promise me you'll take care when you're out in that fighter of yours Marcus I don't ever want to lose you."

"I want you to be 100% sure of what you feel. You are pregnant and all those hormones and things. I do not regret last night and if you feel that it was a mistake, I will still help you as a friend." he said, hoping he wouldn't ruin anything. "I fly to protect, and now I have even more to protect. You."

Ariana lay her head against his chest and held him close "I won't change my mind Marcus that I promise you"

A smile filled his face, a warm and feeling of blessed smile.

"We'd best be getting back to sleep or we'll both be too tired for our shifts" she entwined her body with his enjoying the feeling of cuddling naked with him.

"As you command my lady." he held her tightly.

"No..." she sighed with contentment "not as I command just a suggestion." It didn't take her long to fall asleep again.

Marcus just smiled and stroked her hair for an half hour before he himself fell asleep.
