Kicks and Cravings

Evan glanced across the table and frowned as he watched Kass rub her belly, a grimace on her face. He quickly shifted his attention back to the meeting when he heard John clear his throat next to him.

“Yeah, my team will accompany SA4’s scientists to M3T-221, to check out those ruins, sir.” he said, glancing at Woolsey at the head of the table.

“Very good then, get your team geared up and meet at the ‘Gate in two hours.” Woolsey said, gathering his things and leaving.

Evan got up and walked over to where Kass still sat, gently rubbing the spot on her belly.

“You okay? Seemed to be really uncomfortable during the meeting.” he said, with a chuckle.

Kass huffed softly as she stood up.

“I’m fine, I’ve just been turned into someone’s personal playground.” she said laughing softly.

“You are sure there is nothing I can do?” he questioned with a worried tone.

Kass laughed and shook her head.

“As I’ve told you every other time you ask- not unless you are planning on carrying this kid for the next few months.”

Evan grinned as he leaned in and kissed her, hand still on her belly. Kass gently took his hand and slid it to where there was a steady barrage of kicks.

He stood there for a moment smiling at her.

“Active today, hunh?” he asked quietly.

“Active always,” Kass answered with a grin, “now you better get going before John chucks you and your team through the gate.” she teased.

Evan sighed and nodded.

“I guess I’ll see you when we get back.” he said before turning and leaving.

************* A while later **************

John set his tray down, grinning at Kass and Kenzie.

“Hey Kenzie, you getting excited about your new sibling?” he asked, settling in across from the pair.

Kenzie nodded, beaming at him.

“Momma and Daddy say it’ll be fun to have a baby around.”

John raised an eyebrow in Kass’ direction, taking in her overloaded tray.

“You know you could have left some food for the rest of us.” he said, with a teasing tone.

Kass glared at him, “it’s not nearly as much as Rodney has!” she huffed, picking at the Pegasus strawberries.

“So, how are you doing?” he asked, nodding at her belly.

Kass shrugged.

“Pretty good, though Jen has been nagging me to work less,” she said with a laugh.

“Oh and of course there are the weird cravings.”

John frowned and pointed to the eggs swimming in syrup.

“Like that?” he asked with a grin.

“Hey! It’s actually pretty good.” Kass replied with a grin.

“Yeah, well you’re just lucky the cooks have a soft spot for you.” he drawled as his coms beeped.

With a sigh he stood up, “if you’ll excuse me, I have to go deal with a situation in the control room.”

Kass nodded as he walked away, turning back to her meal.
