[SinisterSpiders]

"Well, I'm glad you're happy with me," Vera laughed, looking at Jase down the length of her still-wet body (and over the bump of her tummy). She watched as he towelled himself down, eyes devouring his naked form. "Don't keep your pregnant wife waiting, darling." She said.

Vera sat up (with a bit of a groan) and pulled him forward. She snatched the towel off him and cast it across the room, running her lips over his bath-warmed skin. Her fingers travelled over his shoulder, his neck, his chest, before she gripped him and threw him down on the bed beside her. She climbed on top of him, her lower lips pressing down against his hot rigidity. The motion took more out of her than it would have if she wasn't pregnant, but she cast that thought aside as she shifted her hips and caught his tip at her entrance. She then sheathed him within her in one hard gesture.

"You always feel so fracking good," She moaned, her back arching and streams of water running from her saturated hair and down the mountains and valleys of her body. She began to ride him then, the rolling of her hips quickly picking up in pace and power as the sweet smelling water from her wet hair pooled on their skin.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Ha I feel fracking good?" Jase moaned pushing forward and meeting her thrusts as he panted in pleasure "That sweet pussy of yours could be mistaken for heaven I swear"

He loved it when she rode him, it gave him a unbashed view of her body. The fact that they just came from the bath only heightened that. He watched in pleasure as the water rolled off of her biting back a groan as he thrusts in with his hips and drove his cock in and out of her.

"Dear lord I can do this all day" Jase said panting as his hands ran down her sides and to her hips "Oh thats it wife of mine oh yes oh yes"

His hands went to her ass kneading and slapping the wet pert globes as they continued to moan and writhe against each other. He could already feel himself getting close but pushed it back wanting to enjoy her and with no desire to end it yet.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera gasped as Jase's hand thwacked against her wet behind. Her fingers dug into her chest as the sting in her arse pushed her pleasure higher.

"Keep spanking me like that and I will ride you until you have no choice but to cum, " Vera threatened with a chuckle.

She kept moving though, whether he came with her or not, she was coming. The feel of his hands massaging against her, his eyes burning their path along her body... it was too much. She cried out as her orgasm was thrust upon her, her hips bucking wildly, breasts bouncing as she took advantage of having Jase beneath her.

 

[silvertongue217]

"No need to do that love" Jase said moaning in pleasure as his pleasure built "Im there oh fuck yes im there"

His hands gripped her hips groaning as he felt her orgasm wash over her. All to soon her pussy was spasming on his cock drawing it in and gripping it as he felt himself tip over the edge.

"Oh my love Oh my love!"

Jase thrust forward his cock moving in and out of her erratically. He panted in pleasure thrusting forward with all of his might as he felt his cock swell inside of her. It finally exploded his cum shooting up inside of her as he tipped his head back and let our a deep husky moan.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera cried out as Jase's thrusts met hers and he emptied himself inside of her. Her own orgasm wracked through her body and left her tingling all over. She wanted to fall forward against him, but her burgeoning belly presented itself as an obstacle for the first time. With a wry grin and a groan of effort Vera slid off Jase and collapsed on the best beside him, snuggling into his side and throwing her arm over his chest as she kissed his cheek. Her belly was nestled against his hip, and she once more felt a popping sensation.

"I love you Jase, so much," She whispered, fingers tracing circles over his chest affectionately.

 

[silvertongue217]

"As I love you" Jase said moaning in pleasure and shivering at her traces. His hands dropped to the small of her back his nails running over the curves as he reveled in the post love making glow.

His other hand moved to her belly rubbing it in a soft circle. He glanced across noting what time it was and biting back a groan.

"Already the start of a new day" Jase grumbled shaking his head and laying back "Were getting closer and closer to our departure I have to admit it scares me to have you pregnant and in the middle of a war zone"

"Even if its the capitol ship were going to see combat" He remarked closing his eyes "I wont let any thing happen to you or these babies Vera.... I swear it!"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"Yes, it seems our timing is terrible," Vera laughed, her hand coming to rest over Jase's as it traced circles on her belly. "But we don't have much of a choice. Danger or not we have to do this. But Jase... I need you to take care of yourself also. I can't do this without you."

Vera stalled any objections he might have had with a passionate kiss.

"Now goodnight husband, I have a feeling we're going to need our sleep."

~*~

And Vera was right.

She and Jase were woken first thing in the morning by Samantha with a message from the Rebels. A signed contract, and some information about their own troop placement as well as a request for a meeting on how they would address the Hive threat in the asteroid belt. Vera pulled a data pad off the table on her side of the bed, and shifted over so she was close to Jase, so he could look at the screen too as she took in the information.

"Sam? Where can we schedule in a meeting with the Rebels and the war council to go over this?" Vera asked, nibbling on a cracker as she did. Sam appeared beside the bed.

"You can just invite them to attend the meeting you already have planned for the council," Samantha advised. "But I do have to warn you that-"

The doors to the bedroom flew open and Vera jumped a the sudden noise. She swore as she pulled the sheets up to cover her naked breasts.

"Ashlynn! What the frack?!" Vera groaned, rolling her eyes as the perky blonde pushed into the room as if she owned it.

"Oh, get over it!" Ashlynn said with a flick of her perfectly manicured hands. "I am here to tell you, since you have been so very busy since your wedding, that the approval ratings were through the roof. We've had more invitations for interviews and comments than I have ever seen before in my life. And, if my sources have informed me properly, even the Rebels are now signing up to your cause. Well down to you both!"

 

[silvertongue217]

"and you really had to come in to tell us that?" Jase asked having not bothered to cover himself. He glanced down at Vera snorting and shaking his head at her attempt to be demure.

"You do know shes fucked us both right?" Jase asked her glancing back over at Ashlyn "And I take it you came in to get a peak?"


"Of course" Ashlyn said licking her lips and eyeing them both "And to tell you the good news of course"

"Uh huh" Jase said rolling his eyes and snorting as he got up naked "Unless the empress would like a good morning meal of us both im going to get ready" Jase said leaning in to kiss Vera before going into the closet.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera rolled her eyes at Jase's comment, watching him as he rose from the bed (proudly displaying his firm morning disposition) and walked over to the closet. She noticed Ashlyn watching as well, thinking that perhaps she really was after the 'morning meal'.

"Well, sorry to burst your despicably perky morning bubble, but I don't think we will have much time for fluffy interviews right now. We have a lot to handle at the moment, and don't even seem to get a moment to ourselves in our own bed," Vera said, finishing her cracker and sliding out from under the sheets. The smooth sheet slid off her body and Ashlyn turned to her, eyes raking over her naked form.

"That's the other reason I'm here," Ashlyn said, her heady gaze settling on Vera's rounded tummy. "The council and I have discussed your pregnancy, and we have received a number of offers from specialists from all over the universe offering their services."

"We have doctors on this ship," Vera said dismissively, as she made her way over to her own closet. "Some of them would have relevant experience. I don't want to drag someone out to war and have them risk their lives unnecessarily."

"What about me?" Sam asked, clearly disgruntled, appearing beside Vera as she rifled through her closet.

"You know you'll be delivering the twins. I just can't tell her that," Vera said to Sam through their mind link.

"Seriously?" Ashlyn asked, walking over to Vera. "You have the choice of any specialist in this galaxy and you will just take the ship doctor?"

"The ship doctors delivered me and I was in fine," Vera said as she tugged an outfit off a hanger. "Now was there anything else? Jase and I have a million things to attend to on-" she looked at the time displayed beside the bed "on four hours of sleep."

There was a stutter in Ashlyn's perky personality for a moment, a flash of concern in her eyes.

"So... apart from heading to the front... is there much else happening? Anything I can work into my PR?" She asked, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible.

Vera sighed as she clipped her bra and pulled a simple shirt over her head. She turned to Ashlyn as she pulled her pants on.

"Ashlyn, I am not at liberty to go into details, but I would just like to let you know that this war is serious. Deadly serious. You should be able to handle our PR from a seperate base, or even your home planet. We can achieve just as much by holocalls." Vera reached out, taking the younger woman's hand.

"What good PR professional would leave their boss?" Ashlyn said with a roll of her eyes, taking her hand back from Vera's.

"Right, well in that case I think some combat training will be in order. You can speak to my old personal trainer, Keith Smith, he will be able to fit you in when you have free time."

Vera slipped her feet into a comfortable, practical pair of shoes and joined Jase.

"So, you mentioned that you should be able to attend my meetings with me?" She asked, slipping her arm into his. "Ashlyn, if you need us, please leave a message with Kryten and I will promise to fit you in. But know this, walking in on a nauseaus pregnant woman first thing in the morning is not the wisest habit to pick up. " She gave Ashlyn a light-hearted wink before turning to Jase, ready to go.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Will do Empress" Ashlyn called as they left the room.

"Poor Poor Greyjoy" Jase remarked lowering his tone to a whisper "Always the flirter never the third" He said with a wink.

"As for your meeting" Jase remarked guiding her to her office "I should be able to go yes most of the big stuff on my end is done its just a matter of them finishing the work and us shipping out the only real important thing left is to form the team thats going to protect the Queen's..... package"

Jase led her to her office pausing at the door and leaning against it

"Just let me know when the meeting is set to start" Jase said leaning in to kiss her cheek "Also just so you know I have a surprise for you the builders are working on it last minute but I am confident it will be done in a few days"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"A surprise?" Vera said, her eyebrows shooting up and her curiosity peaking. "You can't say that and then not tell me what it is! Jase, you tease."

Nevertheless She gave him a quick kiss before heading out to start her day. They had a few things to attend to; the new treaty with the rebels, setting up the Princess Arelian's team, finalising battle plans, and whatever else would inevitably be thrown up to them.

Vera ate breakfast at her desk as she read through the last of the Rebels' revisions. There was nothing there that she would argue with, particularly not when they needed to move out so quickly, but the one positive was that they had requested an extended peace treaty after victory against Hive; if only to see their recovery before throwing themselves into political unrest. Whatever the reason, Vera was pleased with it. She hoped that, with working together, they would be able to figure out a way to avoid the conflict that had plagued them for so long.

When the revisions were complete she asked Kryten to call the Peace council, the war council and the Rebels to set the meeting.

"Okay Jase, we're good to go. I will meet you in the large conference room," She said, grabbing her data pad and making for the door. "I can't believe this day has finally arrived. A treaty with the Rebels... and we have you to thank."

 

[silvertongue217]

"Me to thank" Jase said rising up from his temporary desk and snorting "I think its just as much you as it is me dear I only got them to stop being dunderheads"

He moved past the builders reminding them he would be bringing the Empress around later to show off the surprise. They were turning one of the larger storage rooms seated by the bridge into a sort of dual office and war room for them. Jase and Vera would be able to work, play, strategize, and any thing else in the room and with each other.

"It was an excellent idea" Samantha remarked appearing beside him as he shrugged on his admiral coat.

"At the very least we will be fighting this war together" Jase remarked straightening it as he walked towards the meeting room "Instead of on opposite sides of the ship"

He moved to Boomer who was doing his own paperwork in his office with Avery hanging around.

"Come on you two" Jase remarked smirking "If yall have gotten over your hangovers you can come join us for history" He teased.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery Watersmith

It had been a long night and an even longer morning. Avery and Boomer had spent the morning plowing through his paperwork as they had a disjointed conversation about her next work assignment. She wanted to take the assignment that Crestfield had offered, but the thought of leaving Boomer when they had only just begun to work things out was not one either were happy with. Their conversation had gone around in circles; they didn't want to be apart, but she needed to feel useful, that job assignment was perfect for her, yet with this war that who knows how long they would be apart.

As they followed Jase through the ship, Boomer slipped his hand into Avery's. She gave it a squeeze and smiled, unable to think of anything to say that they hadn't already said a million times.

~ Vera Starborn ~

Vera walked into the meeting room, greeting the spotting of people that were already there. One of the meeting assistants was already fiddling around with the holocall system, so she went and settled into her chair. It was only early in the morning, but with the little sleep she had she was wishing she could crawl back into bed. Her eyes were feeling heavy, so she sipped some of the water that was on the table and took a deep breath. She loaded the final treaty onto the main system just as the final members of the council were walking in.

 

[silvertongue217]

BOOMER POV

"Dont worry" Boomer told her as they stepped into the main room and Jase walked off "We will figure it out.... I am sure of it"

He brought her hand up and gave it a kiss before moving over to Jase. Jase waved him off pointing at Avery and then the two seats right next to Vera and Jase. Boomer turned calling her over before sliding into his own seat.

JASE POV

"Well here we are" Jase remarked rubbing her shoulders and looking down at the treaty "In a room full of PEACe aliens and rebels and all about to work together"

"I truly have seen every thing" Jase remarked laughing and leaning down to kiss her hair before sliding into his own seat "And its all thanks to you and I"

Jase reached out rubbing her belly just as the Rebels made contact. There was not a lot of ceremony behind the matter. The rebels and particularly the General were eager to get this signed and underway. Of course there were some pictures taken for the press and Ashlyn made sure to get some sparse interview question but other wise it was done within minutes.

"The rebels are going to want to go over battle plans" Jase said rising and noting the way the General was lingering on the holo vid "Boomer go ahead and cordinate with them"

Jase took her hand pulling Vera up and nodding at the door "Now come I do still have that surprise for you" He said sliding their fingers together and smiling at her.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera was pleased beyond measure. She had worked for almost two decades to get PEACe in alliance with the Coalition of Alien Species and the Rebels. And now, in a matter of weeks, they had signed both of them on. When the meeting was finally over she felt more positive about the future than she had in a long while, and when Jase offered her his hand she took it with a smile.

"By all means husband, surprise me," She teased, stretching her arms and legs and rubbing the ache in her lower back.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I plan on doing so!" Jase remarked winking at her and threading their fingers together. Jase could see some of the species and council coming to talk to them and waved them off.

"Tomorrow" He promised them all smiling "For now I have a surprise for my darling"

Jase moved her off and in seconds they were off moving down the hall. Every one seemed to want to stop them either to congratulate them on the baby or just to chat. It was Jase assumed one of the pitfalls of being so open with the crew.

Nevertheless they finally reached the door leading to their surprise. Jase turned to her leaning in to give her a lignering kiss before he opened it.

"Since you liked working together so much" Jase said with a grin as he opened the door to see their half finished office "Its not going to be all the way finished before we set out but it should be finished on the way"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera peered into the room, eyes widening as she took in the work going on. She crossed the threshold, smiling back at Jase as she ran her fingers over one of the smooth desk tops.

"Jase, this is amazing!" From their position near the bridge and the central elevators they would be able to access the most important parts of the ship with short notice. But, most importantly, they would be able to spend the long hours at their desks together.

Vera trotted back over to Jase, hands pressing against his cheeks as she pulled him into a deep kiss. Her body pressed against his, her belly firm between them. When she pulled away she grinned at him.

"This is perfect. Thank you."

And it was then that Vera realized that once the builders were finished this office that they should get a start on the nursery.

 

[silvertongue217]

"ah its nothing" Jase said with a wave of his hand "I wanted this to I enjoyed working together that one day and see no reason why we shouldnt continue to do so you know?"

He returned her kiss back and stepped back to let the door closed "We will combat this war together" He said sliding their fingers together and smirking at her "And perish any one who tries to get in the way of that"

He leaned in kissing her once more before pulling away reluctantly "Now I do believe we both have our own engagements we need to get to" He said frowning at that as he walked with her.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Jase was right of course. After taking a walk around the site of their new combined office Vera was off and dealing with a number of different issues. Now that the treaty with the rebels had been signed the war council meeting had stepped up in intensity. The first thing being planned by the group was the mission to the asteroid belt to deal with the Hive infestation there. They managed to hammer out the basics without too much fuss, and had sent orders off preparing the supplementary ships and the best fighters for that mission.

When the afternoon was making her way back to their suite.

"Jase? How are you, Boomer and Avery training? We need to get together before dinner to finalise Avery's promotion. We also need to sort out the Princess' mission together at some stage before bed."

 

[silvertongue217]

"Were down in the belly of the ship" Jase replied moving out from the engine and grabbing his shirt from Boomer.

"I just wanted to make sure the repairs were going well on my new ship" Jase replied pulling it back on "Boomer and I can be up in a second we can meet you and Avery in your office if you want"

Jase turned already heading up the gangplank and to the upper levels. Boomer followed staying quite for the most part.

"You know were not happy about it either" Jase remarked glancing back at him "Im sorry but you and I both know shes not going to just want to stay here during the entire war"

"With respect general" Boomer said turning "Shut up"

Jase wisely chose to shut up

The duo came into Veras office moments later. Boomer sat down being surprisingly quite as Jase came over and kissed Veras cheek.

"Dont mind him hes grumpy" Jase sent over the mental link "He isnt two happy about whats about to happen.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera smiled as Jase kissed her cheek and she reached out, touching his arm affectionately. She took Jase's words into her mind and nodded. Perhaps it was a sign that Avery was about to accept the mission.

"Boomer, come, sit," she offered. He nodded and sat down in a most professional matter. She was about to find some topic for small chat when the door slid open and Avery stepped into her personal office. She strode across the room and dragged a chair next to Boomer's before sinking into it. Her lover sat a little straighter, his body tense, as she did.

"Avery, before you tell us whether you accept Arelian's mission, please know that if you won't do it we will be sure to find you your own purpose again," Vera said before Avery could speak. Avery nodded, but the words flowed past her, she had already made up her mind by the look of it.

"I'll do it," Avery said, cutting straight to the chase, and stalling the need to beat around the bush. Beside her Boomer let out a breath, his body deflating slightly as his eyes darted to her.

"Okay, great, we'll send you the information packet ASAP. Though the general idea is that you will attempt to recruit the people that Jase has assigned for the mission, set them up by the belt, and then hand over to the team leader when you are comfortable with the team dynamics. When that is done you can report back to the mothership and we'll set you up with something else here," Vera said. At this stage they had no idea how long, or short, the entire mission would be, but at least assigning Avery to only the setting up portion would mean they had someone they trusted overseeing it, and that she wouldn't be away from the mothership for however long the war lasted. Though Vera's words had done nothing to alter Boomer's downcast countenance.

"And when do I need to start recruitment?" Avery asked. Vera looked over at Jase, biting her lip. Really, they should get her to leave as soon as she and Jase had the information packet sorted and she can get her supplies together. If that was the case her departure would be only a few hours away.

"We will have the information packet ready tonight before we go to bed. We'll send it through when we're done. You can leave tomorrow afternoon. You can pick any of the spec ops pilots to go with you. Send me a list of supplies before mid day and I will see everything is ready. You can both have the morning off."

'The morning off is non-negotiable, we will just have to deal without Boomer.' Vera warned Jase through their mind link. 'It is the least we can do for them'.

 

[silvertongue217]

"You do realize were leaving in two days correct?" Jase shot back even though the flavor of his mental tone for the most part was amused "So that means while you have your army of aids and politcal might im without my best mate?"

He shook his head before she could argue and cleared his throat.

"Boomer why dont you and Avery go down planet side on the Falcon for a while?" Jase asked glancing over at Vera "once were underway its going to be a while before we see some ground not like Avery here at least"

"Uh that would be nice...." Boomer said a little surprised "What do you think?" Boomer asked glancing over at Avery.

"Also Avery before you go out I need to talk to you" Jase said stopping her before she could say any thing more "A lot of these guys im thinking of recruiting are well for lack of a better word minor criminals people you no doubt ran into during your intelligence days"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery Watersmith

By the stars, Avery hadn't been expecting to leave so soon. It made sense at least, but that didn't mean she had to like it. As Jase and Vera spoke she snaked her hand over to Boomer's knee for some comfort. After the discussions they had that morning about the offer, she knew he understood why she had accepted, even if he hated it. He was annoyed about it, but whether at her or Jase or Vera or Arellian or all of them, she wasn't sure. Though the shore leave would be nice, however quick it would be. A bit of time away from everything...

"Sure, thanks," Avery said with a nod. "I am sure once I see their dossiers it will all become clear. But don't worry, I have handled plenty of thugs before."

 

[silvertongue217]

"Great" Jase said nodding at her and then rising "We will talk before you leave then for now Boomer and you can go spend time with each other I dont need him"

Jase turned kissing Vera lightly "You know going down planet side isnt a bad idea..... I can try and clear things for us tonight for us to go down if your interested? I mean we will need guards but it would do us both good to get off of the ship for a while at least"

"I shall make the arrangements for you guys" Samantha said appearing beside them "Vera do you want your schedule for the day?"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera was pleased that Jase didn't argue about giving Avery and Boomer some time to spend together. He even surprised her by suggesting they take a turn planet side. At first she was about to say no, with the weight of their responsibilities weighing heavily on her, but looking at Jase and Sam she knew that they were right. Soon they would have nothing but the war to think about, and even now their sleep was being interrupted by it.

"Yes, make the arrangements please Sam. I appreciate that. I think a get away could be good," Vera said, getting to her feet with a heavy sigh. She leaned over, suddenly feeling quite ungainly as she walked over to Jase, kissing him before heading over to the kitchen to see what was there to calm her almost-permanent peckishness.
