Jek thanked Jax for his cloak before they went to the next recruits location and watched from inside the speeder as he went to get the last one. When the last arrived he noted they had two who were not so well fed as they went back to the shuttle and loaded up. He let Aeris give the commands while keeping watch for the other Sith, as if they might attack.<br/><br/>Jek helped with the tour when they arrived back at the cruiser, going a little more into detail about where things were that they weren't shown because he knew that Aeris was tired and wanting to be done with the day. He was glad she chose to end the tour in the mess hall, watching as their two least privileged recruits were permitted to go first and the chief feed them personally, making sure they say where he could see them. Satisfied their recruits were going to be well cared for, he followed after his love to get food, choosing something filling and joined her at the table. Jek ate in silence and waited for Aeris to finish before taking their plates to the bin and returning to her side so they could go to their quarters.<br/><br/>As soon as they were alone in the lift, Jek had his arms wrapped tightly around Aeris told hold her close, kissing her cheek. He wished they weren't the same height in the moment so she could bury her face in his chest. Instead he turned his head and tilted his chin up as best he could to give her that space while rubbing her back. He shifted to take her into his arms as the lift stopped and carried her to their quarters. He set her down just inside the door to allow her to remove what she wanted as he locked the door, his cloak was covered in dirt, soot and smelled heavily of smoke, he sent it to their laundry. He didn't realize that he was far more covered in dirt and soot and smelled as if he was still in the fire. Boots were removed and his belt went on the hook his cloak normally did.<br/><br/>Turning back to Aeris he wrapped his arms around her again, to have her close to him as he kissed her cheek. "Shower and then bed?" He asked, knowing it could help them relax and decompress. He still wanted to lavish affection on her.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An-Lok got out of the speeder when Jax did but she hung back to stretch her legs. She watched him from a distance as he got their last recruit, her hands rested over the bump just hidden by her clothes as she smiled with the way he handled it so smoothly even when he was given a surprise hug. Just watching him she knew he was going to be an amazing father, and she was a little glad for the surprise in the unplanned baby and forgotten pills.<br/><br/>An-Lok was not entirely sure she wanted to take the shuttle back up to the cruiser. She hated the shuttle, it didn't move as smoothly as the battlecruiser. She sat by the door as usual, but the landing was much smoother than it was onto the planet. Still, she rushed off and turned to assist the recruits. They were told however that they could leave and she gladly accepted, clinging to Jax's arm as they entered the lift and headed to their quarters. He was wise in only giving her a brief kiss st the door, as her desire for him rose once more. She wanted to forgo their meal to have him all to herself. But he didn't let her miss meals. "Something filling, please. Sweet and salty if you can." She said, watching him go with a sigh.<br/><br/>An had removed her boots, tabards and belt by the time Jax returned. She was sitting on the bed, talking to their child when he returned with food. She smiled, getting up to join him to eat, settling into his lap as she kissed his cheek. "I love you." She told him before giving him a soft loving kiss, setting one of his hands on the growing bump of their child. "We love you." She said, giving him another kiss before her stomach grumbled softly and she laughed. "Baby is hungry." She said, turning to eat the meal he brought.
