Amara enjoyed the night shift, but she had to admit it made it hard to get out of bed. She wondered why her sleep cycle was so effected. Space was always dark. It shouldn't matter what the clock said. However, when she tried to get up this particular day she felt as if she hadn't slept at all. Every muscle in her body ached, and she felt... well... odd. Something was off. Her stomach felt like it was squirming... and she felt ill.

She looked down and was surprised to see her stomach looked a little bloated. "What the-?" She got up quickly and went to check her appearance in the mirror. Yes, her stomach was definitely not as flat as it usually was. There was a certain roundness... as it she were... no, not possible. She wasn't even going to entertain the thought. First of all she never missed her birth control. Second, if she were pregnant a belly wouldn't have appeared overnight. It simply didn't work that way. It must be something else.

Whatever it was, it felt like something just moved in there. That scared her, and she carefully felt her abdomen, shocked to find there appeared to be something inside her. Moving. Responding to her touch.

Frightened and trying not to panic, she dressed quickly and rushed off to Sickbay, hoping Leonard was on duty. Whatever was going on was definitely going to require his attention.

"I want to," he knew she wasn't used to getting presents, which added to his wanting to get her one. He wanted to treat her, and treat her like she should have always been.

"I've been thinkin' somewhere down South."

"As long as it's not Louisiana. Lots of not so great memories down on the bayou." She really had no desire to ever go back there again.

"Oh no.. I was thinkin' more Georgia, or Savannah," he replied with a shake of his head.

"I've never been to Savannah. It's not too cold, is it?" She hated snow and ice. Some chilly weather she could handle, but she was a warm weather person by nature.

"No, no it's amazin' there," he replied with a smile and shake of his head. "You'll enjoy yerself, I promise you."

"After today I think I could use that." She admitted. "And we haven't had much time just to... enjoy each other." Their duty shifts always seemed to conflict, and they never seemed to have as much time as she'd like.

"Mmmm, we do need some time together," he agreed with her wholeheartedly on that. They were both busy so much of the time as of late that time alone with each other was few and far between.

"Could we have a kitchen? I miss baking and cooking with fresh ingredients." She had visions of making a huge holiday dinner and baking cookies and all sorts of sweets.

((OOC: Sorry it took so long! I'm spending the holidays at my parents and my family is very distracting.))

"Of course. I'm sure you'll enjoy that an' if yer havin' fun, that's part of the holidays reasonin' sorted," so a real kitchen was a definite.

[[it's okay! enjoy the holidays - no rush at all!]]
