An hour or so later, the door opened as Torilla emerged with a towel wrapped around her waist and her second wrapping up her hair, which she had washed and in truth, she felt a million times better then she had ninety-minutes earlier, as she grinned at her husband. "So, feeling better Jake?" she regarded her husband with a gentle smile on her lips.

Jake regarded Torilla as she turned to face him. "Oh yes, why...?. You usually like ten minutes between sessions," he commented evenly. "I decided not to be too demanding on you."

"I still do, and I appreciate that," Torilla answered with a smile. "How are you coping though... With recent events?" she asked as she sat down on the bed after fetching herself some new clothing from her drawers. Torilla began to dry herself off as Jake did likewise while he considered the answer to her question. "I'm... I'm honestly not sure. The kits help, so does Noble team and the twins." he paused. "I'm managing... I got to meet Bethany and she's living here too... along with the twins but she's only a year old... I get her for most of the year when her mother is in the field and Lil'yana gets her for a few months, mostly during summer break."

"So you and Admiral Olmos came to an arrangement then?." Torilla asked as she regarded her husband. "That couldn't have been easy..." she inquired while she began drying her hair.

"Mom was dragged into it and she has her own issues with Nalla," Jake explained. "Mom sees Nalla as solely responsible for the Pineapple event on Starbase Twelve." he then let out a soft sigh.

Torilla knew what Jake was talking about as she had been present for those events. "It wasn't just her," she commented. "There were two Orion marines and Plataea involved too."

"I know. I bedded both Nalla and Plataea." Jake responded in a quiet tone. "But look at it from mom's point of view. Three of her children were ensnared as were several of her grandchildren. Elizabeth, Rachael, Achasa, and Paige. Gabe and Savannah narrowly missed it. Kris was afflicted too." Jake shook his head. "Mom has a very unkind opinion of the whole matter."

"I can't say I blame her, the entire ship reeked of hormones for weeks afterward," Torilla explained. "The psionic impressions were long-lasting as well," she commented with a soft sigh. "Let's just say that I'm glad I was not assigned to the Roanoke. It would be... distracting, to say the least," she commented. "Elizabeth was on the Dreamcrusher and Gabriel was off on the Spirit of Winter... But Rachael was affected and she mentioned as much to me on more than one occasion."

"Yes, which have may have helped to ensure her pregnancy with the twins," Jake answered as he began to don his new clothing. "But I did want to talk with you about one other little detail." he paused as he regarded his wife who had yet to don any of her new clothing and thus, she was still totally nude.

"What's up, Jake?" Torilla inquired of him.

"Leave the dogs here with me." Jake started. "When you ship out... Let then stay here..." Jake commented while he regarded his spouse. "The kids will enjoy looking after them while the dogs will appreciate getting outside and enjoying real air..."

Torilla was unsure. "They enjoy being around me..."

"I know Torilla," Jake answered. "Do you want to take Silversides with you?" he inquired.

"No..." Torilla answered quietly. "I'm used to having a noisy house with lots to do... and I'm finding out that silence is worse than all the kids and noise," she admitted. "The dogs were demanding... and they did not have a good place to go to the bathroom..." she paused. "Perhaps your right..."

"At least you'll get plenty of sleep. When things are not going wrong." Jake answered quietly as he noticed that his wife was still nude. "Don't worry, they will settle in here just fine... I think they are presently settling in already," he added. "I don't hear the sounds of angry cats or annoyed dogs... Maybe they will settle in... I know they remember Noble team."

"What a name... Noble Team..." Torilla admitted. "Where did that name come from anyway?" she turned her head to regard her husband.

"I'm actually not really sure, to be honest... I think Rachael came up with that name... Or it could have been Elizabeth... I dunno, to be honest." as he sat down beside his spouse. "Why?"

"I was just wondering..." Torilla regarded her husband as she could almost hear him thinking about it. "But first, we should deal with the other matter at hand," she commented. "Maybe we should have bathed after we finished dealing with the lust."

"Probably a good plan," Jake answered with a smile as he gently took his wife in his arms before he kissed her on the lips.
