Terra Tunn: The Castle on the Plain: Stuck in bed

Saki lay on the bed, Puffball snuggled under her chin, her half of the luxurious sleeping place almost invisible under books and notebooks, though at the moment she was taking a breaking, snuggled deep in the folds of her bedding, her hands resting over her swollen stomach.

The baby would be coming soon, and she was completely holed up in her room. Moving around simply took too much, and she was worried about hurting the child if she tripped or misjudged the closeness of a table top.

So now she lay, studying in the day and snuggling in against Jubal at night, enjoying his pressence and the time she could spend learning last minute tidbits about childcare.

Jubal's eyes were unconsciously wide as he carried the plate of blue jello up from the kitchen. He'd just learned the hard way that jello didn't teleport very well, but had quickly cleaned up the stain and gone back to the cook with an appealing grin to get another portion. The elderly man had shaken his head at him, but supplied a second helping of the treat, complete with strawberry garnish and a piping of delicately pink whipped cream.

"Hey, babe," he said without taking his gaze from it. "You hungry?"

She looked up, then broke into a grin.

"Is that blue raspberry?" she asked eagerly.
mancalledjubes: (cheesy grin!)

"Yup!" He grinned back, eyes dancing at her delight as he brought it over to the bed.

"Thank you!" she beamed. "I was just wishing for some... ohh, look at the creme!"

She moved some books aside eagerly, inviting him to side beside her.

"Careful..." he coached himself as he did so. "Careful, Lee, don't drop this one. Careful...."

Saki giggled and kissed his cheek, relieving him of the dish.

"Is there a new spot on one of the carpets?" she asked innocently, taking a bit and revelling in it and then offering im a bite.
mancalledjubes: (cheesy grin!)

"No." He grinned with embarrassment. "It was on me."

Then he took the bite and sighed. "Mmmm."

Saki giggled softly, then touched his cheek. "You should avoid being blue. You are handsome just as you are," she teased softly.

Jubal just laughed and gently dabbed cream on her nose.

"Hey!" she protested, then wiped the icing off her nose and licked it, smiling and relaxing. "So good...."
mancalledjubes: (cheesy grin!)

"Almost as sweet as you." His grin went cheesy.

[identity profile] innocent-lips.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Silly. I am not sweet, I can't be," she giggled and snuggled against him.

"Sweetest girl I know." He kicked off his boots and lay down beside her with his back to the headboard.

She smiled and snuggled against him.

"You are the sweetest man I know. Perhaps that is why we work so well together."
