Summary: Here there was plenty to do, but the whole crew had supported Julia's orders of no work. And they'd held Devon to it.
A/N: this was written for a prompt on tumblr.
Devon's frown deepened. She hated being on bed rest even more now that they were on Planet G889 than she ever had on the Space Stations. Here there was plenty to do, but the whole crew had supported Julia's orders of no work. And they'd held Devon to it.
The tent flap raised and in stepped John Danziger. She whined, "I'm sick of being useless."
He gave a soft snort. "You think mending and getting one hundred percent is useless? Listen, Adair. You almost died. I think a week or two with no heavy lifting is a small price to pay for your life. Now quite belly aching and take your lumps."
She couldn't help herself as her tongue peeked out at him and then a pout replaced her frown. "Fine."
He chuckled softly. "Would it make you feel better if I allowed you to keep me company while I work on the Transrover?"
Her eyes lit up. "You'd do that?"
"I missed you always second guessing me," he said with a wink as he grabbed her blanket and then scooped her up and headed outside.
Truth was, he had just missed her. And he didn't mind her nagging. Well, maybe a little, but it would be a welcome distraction right now. They'd been three months without it, and that was long enough.
