S'er'in'e was sat in his oversized chair at home with his mind deep in thought about recent events but more importantly, his Mate Samanthia. His ways had reared its ugly head in the form of a dominant and pushy Overseer and yet Samanthia stood her ground against her. As a result he was allowed to stay on 332, the token once given had been returned and loaded with information about the death of Cr'erl the Overseer could return and do her duties.

He'd thought long and hard about this which was made easier with Samanthia at Warp 12 currently thus not distracting him from this all important choice he had to make. He'd studied the act, read texts on it, he knew what he had to do it but reading it and doing it were two very different things.

Samanthia moved through Warp-12, making her last minute rounds before departing. Making sure the bar was well stocked, tables cleaned for the next patrons to use. The oncoming shift was ready to work wearing the prescribe outfits. The band switch over was going smoothing. She smiled as tomorrow was Amateur Night for someone new to take the limelight as a major entertainer for the club.

She made one last round with oncoming shift manager and then departed for home. She smiled as she left Warp-12. Tomorrow was The Dives turn at one of her Audits. Just to make sure the place was still standing and profit going where it should be going. She rode the Central Turbolift down through the stem of the station to Deck 1403. She made her way past the checkpoints with a nod, wave and a smile. It was good to be home. And Her mate waiting as it was time for him to be off shift. She was in a good mood.

"My Mate." S'er'in'e rose from the large chair having his thought pattern broken by her arrival. He walked to her and brushed his cheek to hers. "I was not sure when you would be home, you have been missed." He purred.

Even as he held her he was not sure how she would take to what he'd been thinking of recently. The acceptance of the parents was one thing even if he felt it was given reluctantly because it was too late to do anything about it. Still, all things considered he wanted to try, to show that even as she accepted and at times was the victim of his ways and culture, he too wanted to share in and if needs be, the victim in hers.

Samanthia rubbed her cheek against his as she gave him a hug. "Just last minute things that always pop when one trying to get home." She slipped off her shoes and shoved them aside near the wall out of the pathway. "And you're missed when you are away from me also." She gave the tip of his nose a soft kiss.

"Can I get you anything?" S'er'in'e offered as he held her while removibg her footwear. "I was about to make a light snack if you wish to join me."

"I'm stuffed! I've been nibbling all day." Samanthia broke from the hug. "Go eat. While I finish some paperwork." She moved to the console and sat at the console and tapped in commands linking her with Warp-12 Information storage. "Then it's off to the holodeck for some exercises."

S'er'in'e made a light meal for himself, light by his standards at least. He wondered if she would enjoy his company in the holodeck but knew somethings she liked to do by herself or alone. "Would you like some company in the Holodeck?" He asked. He offered so to take interest, support, encouragement for what she did and was doing but would accept if she wanted to go alone.

"I'd love the company." Samanthia smiled as she looked up from her work. "By the way, Sere. I had another talk with Mar'ess earlier today. She took her Summoning Token back. You have a reprieve."

She resumed finishing out the order for Warp-12. "A few of us get together to work on our martial arts. To keep the skill up incase it is needed." She looked over the order and then sent it off to be filled. She shut off the computer and moved to the bedroom and changed into sweats that hid her figure, running shoes and put her hair back into a pony tail to keep it out of the way.

Finishing up he too changed into something more suited to freedom of movement. Martial arts was dangerous for him due to his bone structure and how easy it could be to break or fracture however he could use other equipment to run on or climb. "I am ready." Claws, predatory appearance and feline grace often served just as well for him as martial arts to others.

Samanthia smiled and lead the way through the Deck 1403 and up to the level that held multiple Holo-suites. She greeted a few friends as they entered the pre-arranged holo-suite set up like a Dojo. Off to one side there was a free form weights and other weight lifting devices for those that brought their mates along.

S'er'in'e saw others had gathered in the room while he himself off to one side along with other equipment for use. The wooden blades were of interest considering he was well trained in their use in the single, double and tail short blade when it came to it. He smiled at the memory of that, it felt so long ago and yet the memory and moves vivid in his mind even now. Though Mar'ess had taken the token back thus permitting him to remain it didn't bode well that his Mate and his Overseer didn't see eye to eye. This was of worry because the Overseer was known to hold a grudge if it suited her purpose. Staying with his Mate was all that mattered to him, starting a family that she wanted so badly and wanting to do what he'd been thinking of though for now hesitant, uncertain of her response.

Samanthia focused on her martial arts going through each of the moves, stances and Katas with a partner who was helping her with her form and sparring partner. Even after the her victory over Mar'ess, it didn't feel like a victory. She still worried over her condition since she missed her cycle this month. Whether she was pregnant or missed the cycle due to the medication or she was too old to have children. The typical doubts of expecting. Her musing were interrupted when she landed on the mat with a thump flat on her back.

Her partner smiling down at her. "Pay attention dearie. Lucky for you we're sparring." Offering a hand to help her up. Only end up on the floor next to her when Samanthia yanked her off balance and swept her opponents legs out from underneath her. "You seam very distracted Sammy. What's up?" As they laid there on the floor getting their breaths back.

"I got to get pregnant within a year or S'er'in'e is going to be summoned back to Cait." Samanthia spoke softly to her sparring partner. Unaware that S'er'in'e was within hearing distance of them.

"They can't do that! What about his Fleet Service Contract?" Her partner grabbed the nearby towels and tossed her one to wipe the sweat off.

"Fleet is tolerant to the customs of it members species ways and customs." Samanthia spoke, taking the towel and wiping off the sweat. "So I was grabbing at straws to keep him here on the station with me. Just because I missed my cycle this month."

"You should go immediately to the hospital to get checked out." Partner smiled warmly, looking her over with interest. "We'll work on Katas. No more sparring till you know one way or the other."

S'er'in'e had heard. One of the things Caitians were good at were picking up sounds and having been with someone for a while the voice of that person is more easily picked out. Samanthia's was no different. He'd heard what she had said and it bothered him she had not said anything to him about it. He padded along on hands a feet like the feline he was to the pair laying down. He stopped above her looking down from his lowered feline height. "Why did you not tell me?" He sounded hurt by the fact as he loomed over her. Family was vital to him, he wanted one and he knew she did which he was honoured to provide.

Samanthia looked at him, then gave him a hug as she whispered to him. "I did not want to get your hopes up. The medication made me late on a few cycles and it maybe threw my cycle off till my body adjust to it." Then she paused, then continued, "It was the only way to keep you with me. And you didn't tell me that your Caste Overseer could just yank you around like a pawn on a chessboard." She ruffled his head fur the way he liked it. "I'll fight like hell to keep you, whether we have children or not." She pulled back far enough to make eye contact to show she was serious. "And if you have contact with her, Mar'ess. You can tell her, I don't care about wealth nor status being your mate. I want you for who you are. Someone to come home to. To take care of. And be taken care of. I love you and all the little foibles you have."

"Little!" S'er'in'e mused. He stood to his full height, ears tall and alert. "There is nought little about me my Mate." He smiled after a moment. "We should see the doctor, to be sure, and if not...." Then followed a very predatory look that meant one thing and she knew it.

Samanthia laughed softly, knowing full well that workout session is over with. She nodded to S'er'in'e, "As you wish," smiling widely that showed her teeth. "Come on." As she waved bye to everyone in the workout group as she left the work out session with her mate.

S'er'in'e escorted his Mate out of the Holodeck. "Let us be certain so to we are least know if, or if not." S'er'in'e softly spoke as they rounded a corner. "And if not, then perhaps you should avoid work tomorrow." He picked her up carrying her light weight on his right arm with her legs in front of him towards his left. "You know I am honoured to provide you a family." The want for a family took override on his want to marry her in her styles and ways, but she came first above all else.

Samanthia smiled inwardly, loving the way he just scooped her up and catching her by surprise. "It's your call, since you have me in a position where I can't refuse." She rested her head against his as she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. She enjoyed his presence as they headed on up to the one of the Station's Infirmary Clinics placed about the Big Starbase.
