Ken woke with Jun rousing him from sleep.

"Hey, handsome how are you doing?" She teased kissing him good morning.

Ken smiled and grabbed her in a bear hug.

"Good" he murmured with sleep still in his voice. "What time is it?"

"It's eleven-thirty. I figured you'd want to sleep late today."

"Yeah, thanks. Is my father awake yet?"

"No, not that I've seen. I was just about to ask you if he woke up yesterday. I'll examine him again when he wakes up, unless you're worried about him." Jun offered.

"No, let him sleep. He woke up last night and ate and got up for a short time. He seemed better once he ate and drank something." Ken answered.

"Good then why don't you get ready. I'll cook some eggs and toast. I can't really do much damage to eggs and toast."

Ken grinned. Cooking was a sore point for Jun. It was hard to understand, why such a capable woman had such trouble cooking. He had learned to cook for survival originally. He discovered he really enjoyed cooking now, and Jun was happy to let him cook most of the time.

"OK. I'll take my toast brown not black please."

Jun hit him over the head with a pillow.

"Now, I have to punish you." He threatened laughing.

He grabbed her and started tickling her. Jun shrieked and begged for mercy giggling.

Ken hugged her to him, and gave her a passionate kiss. Several minutes later Ken regretfully broke off the kiss.

"Save that thought. " Ken said huskily "There's too much to do this morning. I think Hakase will want to meet later anyway."

Jun nodded "Get ready, and I'll start cooking and check on your father."

Jun went to Kentaro's room and knocked very softly on the door. She didn't want to wake him if he was still sleeping.

"Come in." She heard from the other side of the door.

"Captain, it's Jun. Do you mind if I do a quick check on you to see how you are doing?"

"No, that's fine come in."

Jun walked into the bedroom. Red Impulse was covered with a blanket to the chest.

"Good morning, Captain. How are you feeling this morning?"

"Much better, thank you."

Jun nodded and took out a scanner and ran it over Red Impulse. All his vitals looked normal. He was well on his way to recovering. The regenerator had done its job, and everything was almost back normal this time.

"Much better." she smiled at him. "You're looking much better today."

"I'm told I'm on bed rest for another day." Kentaro inquired of Jun.

Jun chuckled. "No, I don't think that's needed. Just take it slow for the next couple of days. Make sure you rest and limit your activity. We don't want you collapsing again, especially with a mission coming up soon."

He nodded. "Jun, what exactly happened to me?" Kentaro asked.

"You pushed too hard and didn't sleep enough. Given your training and makeup you can push much further than most people. Eventually you collapsed. You just happened to be in bed when it happened. That's why we couldn't wake you yesterday. You'll feel more like yourself in another day or so."

"Thank you." Kentaro said. "I hope I didn't cause too much trouble."

"No trouble at all, Captain." Jun smiled at him

"Ken is already awake, and I'm going to fix some breakfast, if you'd like eggs and toast..."

"You're cooking?" Kentaro looked dubious.

Jun laughed. "Captain, it's just eggs and toast. I can't do too much damage."

Kentaro smiled. "Sorry, but I've heard stories."

Jun nodded and then grinned. "One little fire, and everyone gets so upset." Jun said innocently.

Kentaro roared with laughter.

"I'll see you for breakfast then." Jun said as she left the room.

He was glad his son had finally pursued this relationship. He hoped soon she might be his daughter-in-law.

Kentaro smiled to himself. The idea pleased him immensely. The girl had looks, intelligence, heart, and spunk. She was the ideal mate for his son.
