A/N: Hey guys! This story is kinda taking on a life of its own, so from now on each chapter is a little oneshot. My current schedule is making it hard to keep up with each fic I'm currently writing, especially since I just got my Associate's... so it's just easier on me to not keep this a running plot or anything. I hope you all understand :) Enjoy!

G: Gifts

The first few were the single roses he sent to the Legacy every day for a week. She'd be up on the Bridge talking to an incompetent trainee cadet, and when she finished, a rose would be waiting for her when she returned to her stateroom. They weren't able to see each other every day due to their busy schedules, but when they did get a chance to talk, she would mention the roses, and he would instantly change the subject as if he had no idea what she was referring to. Rather than press the subject, she would simply smile and steer the conversation onto other things.

The letters they wrote to each other while she was off on voyages were gifts as well. They both kept each one that the other sent, and would pull the letters out when they felt particularly lonely.

During one very long trip (9 months) to the wreckage of an old conflict, Amelia spent most of her time in her stateroom, reading past letters Delbert sent, since she was unable to get much of anything way out where she was. But as soon as she was back within the range of the postage system, she was flooded with letters.

They always started out with how much he missed her, and how excited he was about her return. He would tell her about the boring events he was forced to go to, and tell her about how often people would ask about her. They filled her with a sense of longing, and she could almost feel him pull her into his arms when his letters ended with:

"I can't wait to see you again.

All my love,

Delbert."

After she realized she was pregnant, the only gifts he could offer were the occasional massage and a listening ear as she whined and complained about the pain she was in. It didn't help that her cravings were so odd that he had to leave the house to buy whatever it was she was craving at the time. Honestly, some days he felt more exhausted than she was.

This gift even had the ability to multiply without any notice. Both Delbert and Amelia had been speechless when the doctor grinned and told them to expect four kids instead of one. As Delbert hugged Amelia, something in the back of his mind whispered that things were only going to get more rollercoaster-esque from here.

Delbert gave Amelia presents for almost every single occasion. She got a promotion? He gave her a night out, just the two of them. She booked a new voyage? He gave her a necklace to remember he and the children by while she was gone.

He never passed up the chance to remind her of how loved she was, whether it was through the act of giving her a physical gift, or simply gracing her with his ever-welcome presence… And honestly, she couldn't have asked for much more.
