Samantha Richards - Food is my Love Language
Samantha Richards
((Richards-Dakora Family Quarters, Deck 6 - USS Artemis))
Nat had just shown up to see Sam and bring the twins each a sweet little stuffed animal. It was an amazing gesture and one that she appreciated deeply.
Cole: Yours, though… I’ll need to borrow your replicator for that one.
With a curious eye, Sam gestured to the replicator.
Richards: It’s right over there. Help yourself.
Aven decided laying on the floor time was over and began to let out small helpless cries. Sam scooped both of them up and began to slowly rock back and forth, shifting her weight between her left foot and then the right.
Cole: Looks like they are making themselves at home. ::tapping through the menus:: how are you doing?
Richards: Oh yeah, they seem to be adjusting well. As for me… I’m figuring things out as I go.
Nat smiled and continued to tap away at the replicator.
Cole: I remember taking care of Juno, when Mom and ::exhaled sigh:: the Commander, would be away on field research or assignments. It can be overwhelming, but ::looking at the babies:: also rewarding.
While still rocking the two back and forth, Sam peered over to the replicator.
Richards: So… What is it?
Cole: This is a family recipe that has been entrusted to me by my Aunt Rea, though I’m still not sure if she’s related by blood, fate, or some classified paradox. She just… appears when she knows I need her. But trust me, one bite, and you’ll understand why we don’t ask questions.
Sam was always one to love a gift, but when that gift was food, it made her even happier.
Richards: Now I’m even more interested!
Cole: ::stepping to the side as the replicator finished with a flourish of her hand:: Ta da …My Aunt Rea’s Cherry Pastries, topped with Whipped Cream of course.
With her mouth slightly opened, Sam stared at the Pastry like it owed her something. A hint of drool trying to make its way out as the smell hit her.
Richards: Gifts like this and you’ll have to stop by more often.
She looked between the babies in her arms and the insanely delicious looking pastries.
Cole: Would you like me to hold one of them, so you could eat?
Nodding to Nat, she lifted Aven towards her.
Richards: If you want to take Mr. Grump here,I can set Leera down in her sweet little chair that her uncle Nathan took forever to put together.
Carefully, she passed the small boy over to Nat and then rested Leera down in the high tech, state-of-the-art, anti-grav, bouncy chair and turned it on. Slowly making motions similar to the one Sam was previously doing.
Cole: Response
Richards: ::Grabbing one of the pastries and taking a bite:: Oh… My… ::Covering her mouth with her hand:: Nat this is incredible!
Cole: Response
After taking another bite, she looked at Nat whose focus seemed to be on the baby in her arms.
Richards: You just have the one sibling? ::Taking another bite and gesturing towards Aven:: You’re pretty good with him.
Cole: Response
