Jansen was laying in bed staring at the ceiling well before his alarm rang out in the darkness. It was offset to the ship’s time by a couple of hours but it was set to a more important time for him. He flipped the top sheet and blanket back swinging his legs over the edge of the bed sitting up. After a stretch he glanced at the framed photo of Raissa and Natalia on the bedside table. He had the morning routine ingrained in his brain so he stood up and straightened the covers back before heading toward the sonic shower with a change of clothes.
With his morning shower and shave out of the way he made his way to the replicator. The tea and plate of food ready he waited for another ten minutes before making the workstation reach out through subspace toward Earth where another breakfast was settling at an all too familiar table. Trying to keep a lid on how tired he was but knowing his better half was better than him in even passive perception.
((Orrey-Moonsong Ranch, British Columbia, Earth))
Raissa had the table set. Natalia was bouncing in anticipation at seeing her father.
Moonsong: Calm yourself, kitten.
Natalia: But I haven’t seen Daddy in...FOREVER!
Raissa just smiled and shook her head. To a three year old, an hour was “forever” to her. She served the pancakes and then turned the video pick up to face them and waited for the connection. She smiled as it came up.
Natalia: PEPE!!!! ::her mother winced at the screech::
Moonsong: Jansen….
Orrey: ::Laughing immediately with a smile:: Hello darlin’ fiy.
Natalia: Miss you, Daddy!
Moonsong: ::chuckles at his expression:: The result of playdates. Her ‘mommy and daddy’ are also her ‘meme and pepe”. Actually, it depends on whom she is talking to.
Orrey: And there is nothing wrong with that at all. I have some good news, and some great news. Which one should I share first do you think? ::He turned his bright blue eyes from his wife to their daughter.::
Natalia: ::thoughtfully:: Good news first, Pepe.
Orrey: ::smiling:: Well, Antor is going to stay in the Federation so Mission Successful! ::Smiling:: Although Aunty Rahman and Uncle Wil had a might more to do with it then I did, eh.
Raissa smiled.
Moonsong: That is good to know.
Orrey: ::Starting on his breakfast with a smile:: The other news, is that I will be home in a couple of days. Get to stay a long, long time this time.
Moonsong: ::looking at him surprised:: What is going on? You have not been back to the Shoals for that long?
Orrey: Well, I missed home. ::smiling at her with the crinkling lines around his eyes:: But a little closer to home, Veritas is being mothballed for a bit to be refit. So the crew gets some well earned break before they get reassigned ::tilting his head back and forth before speaking again:: Considering they will be a lot farther out when they come off leave.
Natalia: ::bouncing and crowing:: Pepe coming home!!!
Moonsong: Natalia… eat. ::while her daughter stuffed her face:: So a long leave before the next posting?
Jansen nodded his head as he chewed on a bite of food and taking a drink before he continued.
Orrey: I am just glad to be coming home for a bit before I get another assignment.
Moonsong: ::smiles:: Then we will be happy to see you, my love. ::chuckles:: You do know what this means when I tell the Family.
Orrey: A whirlwind tour of parties and dinners. ::smiling:: The best kind of thing really. Especially since I stopped wearing a uniform.
Moonsong: ::chuckles:: Expect to be a little pudgy by the end of the week. As thin as you are, you know they are going to try to stuff you full to the bursting.
Orrey: I will be fine. I just can’t wait to get back home. ::perking up and directing his attention to Natalia.:: Going to help Momma with the animals today?
Natalia: ::shakes her head as she chews and swallows:: I have a dance class then lessons. I’m going to be a ballerina.
Orrey: A ballerina huh? ::sitting up before leaning in toward the screen more.:: When did you settle on that?
Natalia: Forever?
Moonsong: Yesterday. We watched a tri-vid of the Nutcracker suite…
Orrey: ::smiling:: Ooo I like that one.
Moonsong: Last week… It was Air & Rescue.
Jansen propped his jaw up on his hand as he listened. He was still smiling as he looked at the little girl settling into exploring the world around her but part of him did ache at seeing it second hand.
Orrey: Rescue eh? That is a busy job to have.
Natalia: No, I am a ballerina… I’m going to dance like the sugar plum fairy.
Orrey: Well, I expect plenty of pictures and videos of the lessons.
Natalia bobbed her head in agreement.
Natalia: Yes, Pepe. ::looks to her mother:: May I be excused?
