It was late and Kaden found himself unable to sleep he turned to see Freya still sleeping peacefully before quietly getting out of bed. He still had nightmares time to time but it was nothing about the baby anymore they was always relating to his traumatic childhood. Kaden had spoke to both Freya and his Counselor Ariana about them it helped for a time but would still come back eventually.

Kaden needed to find something to do without disturbing Freya hoping to tire himself enough to sleep again. Last time he took a few hours cleaning his collections in his and Freya's study. But some odd reason he found himself in the nursery inspecting the crib unsure it was safe enough for their child.

Freya stirred, finding Kaden’s side of the bed empty she stretched and sat up before picking up his shirt and simply putting it on buttoning just a couple of buttons. She walked out quietly wondering where he might be before finding him in the nursery. “Hey” She wrapped her arms around his waist kissing his shoulder blade. “Is everything alright?”

Kaden smiled leaning his head back against her bosom enjoying her loving touch and kisses. "Sorry, I couldn't sleep...nightmares again." He replied.

Freya nodded understandingly. “Are you worrying about the crib too?” She grinned. “It was fine for Hope while she was with us, but you can give it a good once over before the baby is born just to be sure.”

"Not sure how many more times I need check it already looked over for the last fifteen times..." Kaden said as he took a seat in the recliner next to the rocking chair.

“Then don’t” Freya smiled as she took a seat in the rocking chair. “Last time I sat here was with Hope..” Her smile faded a little. “I wonder how she’s doing? I still miss her.”

Kaden took her hand into his knowing how she felt but the kid was back with family. "Freya, do you worry about our kid having to deal with bullies eventually?" Deep down Kaden worried a lot about it he dreaded their child going thru what he did.

"That's something every parent worries about my love, the best we can do in the future is to be there to support him, or her." She offered an understanding smile. "I know you worry about it."

Kaden leaned back still holding Freya by the hand. "I just hope I will be a good father like your dad was...he said so many good things about you and your siblings. He tells me as babies you all was very well behaved didn't cry much but...moment you went preschool you was a handful. Something about peeing in a boys juice cause he picked on you a lot." He grinned.

"He told you that?!!" She blushed. "Well he threatened to pee in my drink so I took it literally and beat him to it! Best part is he never would have known if someone hasn't seen me pouring a cup of something in his drink!"

Kaden giggled as he lovingly pulled Freya out of her chair to him hoping she'd straddle him. "He did, but...I think in the end you turned out okay." He looked down her shirt liking the view. "You certainly blossomed into a beautiful lady."

Freya grinned as she sat straddling Kaden's lap. "And you've become a very handsome and charming man!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

When their lips parted Kaden's brow creased. "You think so? Honestly I am just winging it." He placed his hands on Freya's perfectly formed butt. "Just I hope our kid don't do inherit our habits of mischief. You aren't the only one that did some crazy things."

"Don't tell me you got up to something crazy as well?" She grinned. "There was me thinking I knew almost everything about you!"

Kaden nodded his head with a devious grin on his face. "Absolutely, when I was in grade school I had this vice principle named Miss. Snodgrass. She wasn't a very nice lady let me tell you but she had taken my baby sisters doll away. So...I got even I sneaked into her office and spiked her coffee with grandpa's turbo lax and superglued her chair." He couldn't help but chuckle at the memory. "In the end after having the fire department and sanitation help her out it was so worth it...she quit the next day and my sister got her doll back."

"Well aren't you the devious one!" Freya grinned. "Remind me never to get on your bad side!" She took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "Inside here is the culmination of our time, effort, and love. I certainly hope he or she doesn't turn out as mischievous as we were when we were younger!"

Kaden rubbed her belly thinking of the baby growing inside. "Well...maybe being a bit devious is okay long as it don't become a habit." He confessed before looking at his goddess of a wife. "I am sure though in the end our kid will turn out a to be a good one."

"Naturally! after all our baby has us as parents!" She giggled. "How's about you carry me back to bed and we'll try getting back to sleep?"

Kaden nodded as he sat up sweeping Freya into his arms and started for their room. "Freya, I want you to know something." He began as he walked out of the nursery. "Don't worry about me making fat jokes about you as the kid gets bigger."

"I'll try not to, just as long as you help get me back into shape after the birth." She smiled. "I've spent a long time getting myself fit, I know I won't need to be out in the field anymore but I'd like to keep in trim."

Kaden entered their room lovingly setting Freya down on the bed. "I will you still have to meet Starfleet Marine weight regulations or they may discharge you...and I don't want that." He said as he kissed her.

"Me either! I am the Marine Counsellor and I can't have you going without your Admin assistant now can I?" She grinned as she lay down and pulled the sheet up a little.

Kaden smiled as he undid her shirt exposing her naked body before he slowly started kissing her belly working his way up slowly. "Of course not...who better to help get me thru my duties than you."

Freya sighed as Kaden kissed her body. "I'll always be there for you when you need me...you know that." Her fingers trailed along his skin.

Kaden paused offering Freya a smile. "Hey, before I forget I need you to head to sickbay and have them set you up on a nutritional diet and physical routine for expecting mothers. Like you said, be damned if they boot you out now for not being fit enough." He hoped Freya would understand his request and not get upset.

"Don't worry I have that all in hand" She smiled warmly. "I'll be arranging it when I see the doctor for my first maternity appointment." Freya smiled.

Kaden smiled before pulling Freya close to him resting his chin on her shoulder. "Good, cause I am looking forward to you being my assistant."

“That’s good because nothing is going to keep me away!” She grinned. “General Hurd May have put me on leave for the next 8 months of my pregnancy and 2 months thereafter, but that doesn’t mean I can’t sit in your office and go over your paperwork with you.”

Kaden pondered on it in silence for a moment. "If you are up to it...I won't stop you but I don't want you to stress out, okay?" He laid flat on his back encouraging Freya to rest her head on his chest.

Freya smiled as she moved to cuddle up to Kaden, resting her head on his shoulder she draped her arm over his chest as she made herself comfortable. “I promise I won’t, you just promise me if you have to go off station that you’ll come back to me! I don’t want a visit from General Hurd telling me anything has happened to you!”

Kaden understood her request he hated the thought of him dying out there leaving her alone and his kid fatherless. "If I can survive a fight to the death in the shelter and your crazy ex boyfriend I will certainly do my hardest to get back to you alive." He replied enjoying the feel of his naked wife pressed against him.

"That's good enough for me" Freya smiled as she looked up at Kaden. "I am the happiest woman in the universe right now, I have you and our baby and that's all I've ever wanted."

Kaden certainly felt the same without Freya he be lost. "You know, I feel if not for you I be a lonely sad man." He said.

"Now that I find hard to believe!" Freya grinned as she leant in for a romantic kiss.

Kaden certainly felt happy seeing Freya full of joy he settled in the bed and held her close till they both fell asleep.
