[Vacation Home - Kerelia] " Ah yes how could I possibly forget that or what's happened since" she teased again, enjoying this playfulness between them. They could switch from normal conversation to this without a second thought and for Leanna, it was part of what made them work so well. Sure they had their moments but on the whole it was like having a partner and best friend rolled into one. They simply got one another and she liked not having to second guess or keep quiet for fear of upsetting the other person or causing an unnecessary argument. When Riyo then suggested that she choose what movie to watch from the database whilst he cleaned up. Leanna smiled and answered him, loving how thoughtful he could be and not expect her to do everything. " That works for me and hmm what to pick".Lea honestly wasn't sure what to watch but thanks to the extensive database, she could at least narrow down a couple of ideas by the time Riyo was finished. Adding her empty glass to the tray, Lea shifted and got up with a little assistance from the table and prepared to follow him inside.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]Riyo carried the tray inside and into the kitchen. "Could always pull up the list of comedies, then close your eyes and point," he suggested before he started to run the water for the dishes. Of course, that was if a title didn't catch her attention immediately. As expected, it really didn't take him long to get the dishes washed, dried and put away. Wanting to give her a little more time, he went to the bedroom to shed his robe and pull on a pair of shorts. It also didn't take him long to find the projector they had brought down but hadn't used yet, and soon he was carrying it into the living room to get it set up. "Anything sound good?" he asked curiously.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] " It might just come to that, you know how indecisive I can be" Leanna replied honestly. It was true she could be and couldn't blame it on the pregnancy or the hormones either. A trait of hers that was both endearing and a pain she thought, but supposed it was all part of who she was. Not that Riyo would want to change anything about her unlike some people she once knew, which was definitely a bonus. Settling onto the sofa with extra cushions supporting her back, so she didn't have to move unaided if she had to get up for any reason. Leanna picked up a PADD and began scrolling through the database as Riyo got to work with the dishes. Yes she could definitely get used to this, before she realised that her husband to be had returned. Grinning slightly upon seeing him in just shorts and carrying the projector, Lea appreciated the view as he then asked about her movie choice. " There's a few but I think I've narrowed it down to Police Academy or The Mask" she said, liking the sound of these old Earth movies.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]Riyo thought about the options she listed as he set up the projector so it would display against the wall across from the couch. He couldn't recall ever seeing either of those movies, so he went with the title that was a bit more vague. "Let's go with The Mask." Once everything was ready, he sat down on the couch and wrapped his arm around her, suddenly content to spend the rest of the day in that same spot, so long as she stayed in his arms.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] Narrowing it down to two possible choices hadn't been easy but that didn't mean that they couldn't watch more than one movie. After all they had all day and had no intention of going anywhere save from the kitchen or in her case the bathroom depending on when the twins decided to play with her bladder. As it was, she was comfortable and smiled as Riyo considered the options before making a decision. Putting her feet up so they didn't swell and shifting slightly, Lea watched as Riyo set up the projector and then snuggled into him as he joined her on the couch. Yes this was definitely the right idea when he wrapped his arm around her and she then gave the command to the computer. " Computer, play The Mask, reference comedy, old Earth 1994 and close the curtains".As the computer acknowledged her request and the room got slightly darker, Lea knew that they had created the perfect atmosphere for a day in the house.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]As the room dimmed and the movie started, Riyo shifted to a more comfortable position and held Leanna close. It was wonderful not only having the house to themselves, but also having the entire day to themselves. It had been too long since they had a chance to just relax and enjoy each other's presence without stress or responsibilities. Since their responsibilities were going to double once the twins were born, he was happy to enjoy every single moment of this time, since there was no telling when they would get it again. When the movie ended, he gave her a kiss on the cheek before he sat up and stretched. "That was a great choice," he commented simply. While he had been in a good mood before, that had only improved even more with the lighthearted laughter from a good comedy.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] When the movie ended and deciding that the curtains could remain closed for the time being, thanks to the continued cosy atmosphere. Leanna smiled as Riyo then kissed her on the cheek and commented about the movie. " It was even if I did manage to startle the twins with me laughing" Lea replied, thinking of that moment and how it hadn't been particularly pleasant, despite finding the movie hilarious. Her aching ribs and the slight twinge from her abdomen was a small price to pay for the chance to enjoy a movie. Seeing the truth behind the human term that laughter was the best medicine. The Betazoid felt better for it and was glad that they had decided to have a lazy, do nothing day. That being said, another downside was that she now needed the bathroom and was surprised that she had managed to sit through the whole movie without having to pause it. " Now you might have to help your wife to be up as the twins are getting their own back and I need the bathroom".

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]Chuckling softly, Riyo stood and turned to face her to help her off the couch. "I can't wait until we drop the 'to be'," he replied with a wistful smile. Once she was on her feet, he gave her a quick kiss before stepping out of her way. Since his own body felt the need to move around a bit, he went into the kitchen and began to put together something for them to snack on. Lazy days weren't complete without lots of food. After pouring a couple glasses of juice, he carried everything back into the living room and set it on the coffee table, sitting back down on the couch and picking up the PADD with the library of movies.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] If she didn't laugh or occasionally make fun of her situation, Lea didn't know how she would keep sane otherwise. Sure she had Riyo, the kids and everyone else to help with that but being pregnant sometimes messed with your head, especially with all of the increased emotions and hormones. Luckily for her she had found a happy medium to keep the negativity at bay and as Riyo chuckled softly and helped her. Lea was grateful for him being there and smiled as he then commented wistfully about dropping the to be part of what she had called herself. " I can't either" she replied honestly, knowing that they were doing the right thing in waiting to have their wedding. It was stressful enough without adding wedding planning on top of everything else and besides it would be worth the wait. Accepting his kiss with another smile, once she was on her feet. Lea then left the living area albeit a little slowly as her body adjusted to being upright again. There was definite relief along with the bonus of being able to stretch for a little while before stopping off at their bedroom after she was done with the bathroom. Feeling a little warm, Lea changed into one of her light Tholian silk nightgowns, appreciating being cooler as she then made her way back to Riyo.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]It seemed Lea was taking a little longer than usual, and he was about to ask if she was alright when she returned wearing a silk nightgown instead of her fluffy robe. When he looked up and saw her, Riyo couldn't help the smile that spread slowly across his face. "Now that looks comfortable," he commented. Taking a sip of juice and setting the glass back down, he returned to his previous comfortable position on the couch so she could join him. "Do you want to watch another?" They did have an entire library at their fingertips, and an entire day ahead of them with nothing to do but enjoy spending time together.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] Constant changes was something that Lea regularly did in order to maintain some semblance of comfort and exchanging the robe for the nightgown had definitely been the right move. Besides it would save a lot of complaining, drinking more and well everything that she was trying to avoid. Now Riyo's reaction instantly made her forget about what she had been thinking about and smiled as he commented on the nightgown. " Oh yes and much cooler too, I was starting to overheat slightly in the robe" she admitted, glad that she had managed to get bigger sizes in some of her favourite outfits and nightwear. Lea also smiled upon seeing the juice and snacks that Riyo had put together whilst she had been gone as she walked over to the sofa. He knew her well and when he then asked if she wanted to watch another movie, Lea already had her answer. " Yeah, in fact I can't think of anything better than us having a movie day and I see that you've already taken care of the snacks" she replied as she retook her seat next to Riyo.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]"I'm certainly not complaining," he replied playfully, letting his eyes trail over her again as she moved closer. Riyo was also happy they were on the same page about turning this into a full movie day. It seemed to be one of those things they hadn't realized they both needed until they started. When she commented on the snacks already being brought out, he shrugged lightly, wrapping his arm around her again when she sat down. He always loved the way her silk nightgowns felt against his skin... "I knew it was only matter of time before we felt like munching." With his free hand, he offered her the PADD so she could select out of the list he had narrowed down.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] " I didn't think you would" Lea teased back just as playfully, enjoying the sensation of having Riyo letting his eyes trail over her. She might not always be in the mood lately but she hadn't exactly become celibate either and Riyo would no doubt see the reaction his look had gotten. The light shrug that followed after her snack comment, made her smile before she quickly got comfortable again. She knew how much he liked the silk nightgowns and so purposefully snuggled a little closer. He wasn't wrong with his next comment either, especially at the moment and her need to constantly keep her energy levels up. " Yes that's true, especially when you're dealing with me" she quipped as she accepted the PADD from him. Scrolling through the list he had made, Lea approved of his choices and how tough it was to choose one. Finally after a couple of minutes, she made her mind up and told her husband to be. " Hmm they're all good but how about we go with the second one?".

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]He wrapped his arm tightly around her as she snuggled close against him. "Second one it is," he replied, setting the PADD out of the way and instructing the computer to play their selection. As it started, he turned his head to place a soft kiss on her hair, his fingertips trailing absently down her arm.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] There was no stopping the contented sigh that left Lea's lips as Riyo tightly wrapped his arm around her. When he then instructed the computer to play their second movie of the day, Leanna smiled thinking that it would be another good one. " I have a good feeling about this one too" she commented, before her breath caught in her throat at what Riyo did next. Sure it was an instinctive move on his part and one that Lea never failed to enjoy. Although he was brave given how extra sensitive her skin was now. It could go one of two ways with how she would react, ranging from slight annoyance to well he would soon find that out. Not that she could prevent the reaction even if she wanted to as little goosebumps erupted along her arm. A clear sign that it was having a more positive effect. Now would be the test as to whether they would make it through the movie without ignoring it, especially when Lea then rested a hand on Riyo's thigh.
