Chapter Seven

The next morning as usual Will was up at "dawn" while Deanna remained asleep in their bed. He wanted her to get as much rest as she possibly could before they began their trek up the mountain. He didn't want to go but she talked him into it and as usual she got what she wanted but he couldn't help but be worried and excited about their journey. For the 100th time Will checked and rechecked the supplies from Titan making sure that everything was there that he could possible need if they ran into trouble. He even had a bunch of things for Deanna's pregnancy in the med-kit. He knew she would be just fine but he had been warned about what was out there and with what the doctor told them as well as their recent loss Will wanted to be prepared for anything and everything. A few hours later while Will was catching up on crew notes and ship wide matter he head Deanna climbing out of bed and heading to the living room.

"I see you were up at dawn again."

"Hard habit to break even if we are on vacation I was just checking on some things before we headed out we won't have contact with the ship for several days I want to make sure everything is fine before we head out. How are you feeling this morning?"

She climbs onto the couch with him are rests her head on his chest.

"As well as can be expected considering the circumstances. When are we leaving?"

"Is it the morning sickness?"

"No, I'm just a little queasy but I am exhausted I didn't sleep very well last night."

"I noticed you tossed and turned all night is something bothering you?"

"Just the normal pregnancy jitters, I wasn't sure if I was ready to be a mom again and if I would carry the baby to term stuff like that."

"Well you don't need to worry we have the best doctor on our ship I'm sure everything will be okay now why don't you get a shower I'll have some toast for you when you get out and then we can head out to the mountain."

Deanna nodded maybe Will was right maybe she was worried about nothing it wasn't as if Kiara was early she actually came late and he was right they did have the best doctor on Titan so if anything would go wrong she and the baby would be safe. She kissed Will on the forehead and headed to the bathroom while Will went back to his book. Thirty minutes later Deanna came out of the bathroom with her hair braided and wearing a comfortable exercise outfit with a tank top and shorts underneath. During the time she was in the shower Will got into more comfortable clothing as well. In just a few short minutes they were out the door and headed up the mountain range.
