"Everything was wonderful darling!" Amelia Doppler said over her glass of red wine.
"Thank you m'love." Delbert Doppler said to his wife of hardly two years , the couples was enjoying a rare moment at home in solitude in their mansion. Usually Delbert was caught in traffic or Amelia was stuck in a meeting at the naval office as the new rear admiral or the both had way too much paperwork.
They could have gone out but that would risk someone recognizing them and asking way too many questions of their occupations or even personal life. So they decided to spend the evening in just each others company.
the couple had laughed and loved relishing in each others company as a young middle aged couple should.
Amelia started picking up her plate when Delbert swooped in behind her and took it for her she smiled at him, "A queen needn't raise a finger m'love" Delbert grinned making her smile wider. "Such a kind and noble king this queen has." She smirked.
"Only because the Queen made him this way."
"Oh pish posh I do believe i is the other way around."
"Oh contraire my darling." Delbert said taking her hand and she stood, looking radiant as a Galactic zunar lily.
Delbert twirled her around bit then brought her close and kissed her deeply and passionately. She was the only woman to ever snag his heart after his Clara was taken from him year ago. Amelia was much different from clara, Strong willed, independent, ardent, and discernible. Clara was quiet and soft spoken always looking for permission but loved the stars just as he did that,like he and Amelia, was brought the two of the together.
"Del?" Amelia questioned raising a slender eyebrow at her husband.
"Oh I uh was just thinking my darling." Delbert smiled at her then perking his dog-like ears forward as an unfamiliar sound emerged from their backdoor. Delbert's sense heightened Amelia had always told him of the possibility of these events. Amelia gently let go of him and grabbed her gun and quietly creeped to the door. She looked to Delbert and motioned for him to move over which he did.
Amelia made motions with her fingers indicating 3...2...1 then swayed the door open drawing her gun to whom was outside the door.
"Whoa whoa auntie It's just us!"
Amelia lowered her gun and rolled her eyes , "Blast and bloody damned hell Bridgettah what in the Sam's hell are you doing out there!"
"Comin' to visit." Katalina, etter known as Kitty said walking in. She and Bridgettah lived with their mothers and fathers in a rather large home that split into two separate living areas.
Amelia sighed, "Try calling next time dears." She turned to close the door.
"Wait a moment Captain hold the door if you will." Amelia blinked as Alastor Morrill walked in rather thumped in with his one wooden leg.
"Alastor what a pleasant surprise!" Delbert grinned.
"Salutations there Doctor!"
"how are things on the spaceport?" Amelia asked their two nieces she sometimes misses living on the bustling spaceport now that she lived in the quiet town of Benbow.
"Same as always auntie only, the Panther family just moved in next door."
"Panthers?"
"Aye, they really look like panthers to." Britt laughed.
"Yeah , daddy and uncle Jerry don't like them to well."
"I would be surprised if they did like someone dears."Amelia chuckled, she had three sisters and two brothers that all lived on the spaceport, Jeremy , Victoria, Lorraine, Samuel,Andree then her self.
The lot of them sat around the fireplace and spoke for what felt like hours when yet another knock at the door , "Now who could this be." Delbert said getting up and excusing himself from the conversation to open the door to see young Onyx Arrow, Samuel Arrow's nephew.
"Onyx! to what do we owe the honor of your company?" Delbert smiled.
"Doctor Doppler." Onyx nodded once smiling , "Where is the Admiral?"
"Shes in the living room son, may I ask what this is about?"
"The royal navy wishes her to have this." nyx said handing him a crisp off-white envelope with the royal navy seal on it
"Amelia, dear Onyx is here with something for you from the Navy."
Amelia was in there in almost no time at all taking the letter and saluting the young man and opening the letter scanning it's contents carefully then her face went grim.
"Amelia? Amelia dear what's wrong?"
Amelia looked up at him with the pain written all over her face , "We're going to war..."
Later that night Amelia and Delbert were laying in bed , Amelia would be shipping off within a week but all Delbert could think of was the possibility that Amelia might not come home. "Del?"
"Yes Mia?"
"Promise me no matter what you'll keep going on..."
"I...I promise Mia." Delbert said his voice quivering slightly.
She only snuggled up close to him.
"In these times dear we can only try." She whispered as she dozed off to sleep.
Delbert sighed and looked out at the spaceport shining into their bedroom window wondering what the next few months would be like.
