12 Settling In

Mia

Unloading from the shuttle took no time at all. Since security took possession of their still-groggy troublemaker, he was no longer Mia’s responsibility. Still, she was glad he would not be free to roam the ship. Commander West made temporary accommodations for the survivors aboard Eden Twelve. The plan was for them to be taken to the Davarian home world until each individual decided on a final destination.

Mia, Jakar, Jared, Dakota and Rick had even made it through decon in record time. Ima Jean was waiting for them on the other side of the decon chamber. “You all don’t look any the worse for wear, and I see that you bagged your guy.”

Jakar frowned, clearly picking up on the fact that the woman was referring to him. Mia laughed and slid her hand into his. “Yes, we found him and his young friend.”

Ima Jean clutched onto Rick’s arm, clearly happy he came back from the mission in one piece. “I left food in your quarters. You have to be hungry after being down on the planet all day.”

“Thanks, Ima Jean.” Turning to Rick, Mia teased him. “You bagged yourself a fantastic wife. Hope you’re smart enough to keep her.”

Burying his face in her neck, Rick gave her a big sloppy kiss. “Being a husband is the only thing I’m actually good at.”

Jakar interjected politely. “You are also good at carrying dead bodies. You have good upper-body strength. It was impressive to see.”

Ima Jean gasped, turning pale. “Oh my god, there were dead bodies?”

Shooting Jakar an exasperated look, Rick replied soothingly. “It was Traj warriors that died in a knife fight before we even arrived. I was just taking out the trash. There’s nothing for you to worry your pretty head about.”

Bringing her hand to her chest, Ima Jean took a deep breath. “I’m glad to hear you weren’t in any real danger.”

“Me? Danger? Absolutely not. What do you say, we get a move-on before anyone spills more intel about our mission?”

Mia spoke up, “Don’t be an ass, Rick. You know Jakar was just trying to think of something nice to say about you to your wife. It’s not his fault you have so few good qualities that he had to resort to complimenting your impressive upper-body strength.”

He deadpanned back, “You’re not funny, Mia. You’re smart and look as though you should be, but you’re not.”

Ima Jean perked up, “I love talking about your muscles. You do have good upper-body strength.” Squishing close, she peered up at Rick. “It’s one of my favorite qualities about you.”

All his irritation fled, replaced by a moment of confusion and then a full-on smile. “How did I never know that? Come home with me, and I’ll flex my muscles for you all night long.”

Ima Jean giggled and the two of them ambled off without so much as a goodbye. Mia pulled Jakar along behind her. “Don’t pay attention to them. They just got the all-clear from their medic to get frisky again following the birth of their daughter.
