Jaal learns to throw chocolate and run.

Jaal and Scott were sitting playing some chess in the common room of the townhouse prefap, it had been six months since Meridian had been setting up prefaps in the shadow of the giant ark. The ARK had been converted into a small city, Scott and Sara had decided to share a town house on the outskirts of the colony effort. The group was on shore leave while the Tempest was getting an upgrade, Vetra had left to make sure it went smoothly leaving Jaal and Scott to entertain themselves while Sara slept.

"It is nearly noon, should we wake Sara?" Jaal asked, moving his knight on the board.

"I am surprised you have to ask Jaal, you have been sharing a bed with her for some time." Scott teased, using a pawn to take the knight.

"So, that would be a no?" Jaal confirmed, Scott smirked. "Yes, that would be correct and this would be check and mate." Scott responded.

"WHAT! SAM this is not a time to work on your humor!" A rage filled scream came from Sara's room, Scott and Jaal shared a look of worry.

Jaal began to move towards the door while Scott shook his head and crept into the kitchen and began digging in his personal stash for something. Jaal got close enough to the door to hear the AI respond.

"I am not attempting to be humorous pathfinder, you are pregnant." The monotone voice responded, Jaal broke out into a grin and opened the door with a smile.

"Congra-" "You Fucking Bastard!" Jaal barely had time to duck, avoid having his head caved in by a flying lamp.

"Jaal! Life lesson, woman screaming like that is not happy!" Scott yelled coming back into the room and yanking Jaal out of the way of a picture frame that followed the lamp.

"Second lesson, in times like this, with Sara throw chocolate and run!" Scott yelled, hurling a bar of milk chocolate at his sister before dragging Jaal out of the house.

"Should we not stay and calm her down, she might hurt herself or the child?" Jaal asked, Scott did not slow down as he dragged Jaal to his motorbike.

"I am far more concerned with living till tomorrow right now, Sam will stop her from hurting herself or the child… Us not so much so we are fleeing until it is at least past the throw thing phase!" Scott shoved a helmet at Jaal and hopped on to the bike.

Jaal reluctantly climbed on and Scott floored it out of the driveway and towards the ARK. SAM began sending updates to the pair of them every five minutes as they drove, the rest of the crew was informed the Sara was indisposed and not to be disturbed. Vetra was brought up to speed as Scott drove to meet up with her, Vetra laughed at the story but agreed to leave Sara alone for a bit.

Vetra was arguing with a supplier when her Omni-Tool rang with Scott's ring tone, excusing herself she stepped away to answer the call. Scott's voice appeared on the holo screen, or his motorbike helmet did, Vetra could see Jaal in the back ground holding on with a panicked look on his face.

"Scott, I love getting a call from you, but I am in the middle of something do you mind calling back in a few." Vetra asked, not wanting to make Scott think she was brushing him off.

"I am calling to give a heads up, we are in bound and you may want to avoid the house for a few hours, Sara is in a bit of a mood." Scott's tone had Vetra sighing.

"What did you do this time Scott?" Vetra asked, Scott laughed, that was never a good sign. "No my fault, turns out Jaal forgot to practice safe sex and now your going to be an aunt!" Vetra thought her translator glitched for a moment.

"Poor joke Scott." Vetra responded before SAM broke into the call, hacking their signal. "Scott is not joking miss Nyx, Sara is indeed pregnant and currently experiencing a large hormonal imbalance. Which led to Scott and Jaal retreating from the objects being thrown." Vetra blinked a few times in shock, Scott seemed to understand.

"Yeah sis never did things half way, she always wanted a kid. I just did not think she would break the laws of biology to do it?" Scott joked weakly, Vetra sighed and ended the call after getting the ETA. As Vetra started back to her supplier she made a mental note to start collecting more chocolate.

Sara had finally calmed down about two hours later, when she had finally ran out of thing of Jaal's to throw against the walls. Scott came into the disaster area that had been her room as some point, wordlessly he handed her favorite brand of chocolate bar and a strawberry milk drink. Red face from her tantrum and shame she meekly took them. Scott flopped down onto the bed next her and pulled her into an one-armed hug.

"Mom always said you would do amazing things, rewriting the laws of what we thought possible count, at least to me." Sara chuckled weakly, sighing she looked at her brother.

"How much does Jaal hate me for this?" She asked with a wince, Scott looked confused.

"What the room or the whole pregnancy thing?" "Both?"

"Well the room might give him a headache, you know how he gets about your guy's room being clean. The whole Pregnancy thing, I think he is already plan your kid's college fund and what colors he needs for their first birthday. Short of the whole you trying to put a lamb through his skull this is probably one of the greatest day in his life, remember how big his family is?" Sara chuckled at her brother's attempts to make light.

"Thanks Scott… So any plans to try and replicate this with you and V?" Sara teased, Scott rolled his eyes.

"No thanks, I remember how we were as kids. I will stick with the fun uncle." Sara laughed fully and pulled her brother in for a hug, passing out for exhaustion a few moments later.
