"Hurrrrry. She'll be home soooon," Rachel insisted as Rick finished
up work.
"I almost got it," Rick said, holding a wrench in one hand. "There,
that should do it."
Rachel clapped her hands, "Can I use it?"
"No, it for your mother," Rick said. "Maybe later."
After closing his tool kit, he stood and brushed off his pants and
washed his hands.. Rachel followed suit, copying Rick by washing
her hands, even though they were not dirty.
As soon as they walked out into the main living area, the door
opened and Mai entered.
"Hey, sweetheart, welcome home," Rick smiled as he walked up
to her and kissed her.
MaiKai gave her husband yet another kiss. She missed him so
much and wasn't use to having him back home just yet. "Alright
you two, what are you up to?" Mai figured people only said
'welcome home' when there was a surprise or when the person had
been gone away from home a long time.
"We have a surprise for you, mommy," Rachel grinned.
Mai tried her best to bend down to Rachel's level. Even doing that
was beginning to become a bit of a task. She tickled Rachel, "What
is it then?"
"It wouldn't be surprise if we just told you, would it?" Rick said
as he pulled out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her
head like a blindfold.
{{Oh great}} Mai thought. The last possible thing she could have in
her state would be to go blind. Mai tensed up a bit, but knew she'd
be all right with Rick and Rachel there.
"This way," Rick said as he held onto one of Mai's hands while
Rachel grabbed the other.
They led her through the main bedroom, then onto the
bathroom. Once there, Rick removed the blindfold, allowing Mai
to see where a large jazzuzi/tub had been installed.
"I thought it could help you relax," Rick said. "It has all the settings
anyone could ever want.. You like?"
"Of course I like it!" Mai whipped around and clung onto Rick.
MaiKai really did appreciate all the efforts Rick was attempting since
he hasn't been home at all lately.
"Good, because for the next couple days, you do nothing but rest,"
Rick said. "Your wish is my command. I take care of Rachel and
anything else that need taken care of ... like dinner. You ... you
just take it easy."
"Why?" MaiKai wasn't sure if something had happened that she
wasn't aware of, "Why all this?"

"Why?" MaiKai wasn't sure if something had happened that she

"Because you deserve it," Rick said, giving her another kiss.
Mai was just beaming ear to ear. This is all that she wanted and she
didn't even need this high-tech tub. She just wanted someone to
appreciate it for all that she'd been doing.
Rick leaned to Mai, grinned and whispered, "Why don't you go ahead
and test it out. Once I get Ray busy with her drawings, I might join
you."
Mai grinned. first to herself and then looked to Rick. This was truly
the remedy that she needed. She didn't know how much she had
really missed Rick or how badly she really need him to be home until
he spoke words that chilled her spine.
Rick gently laid a hand on Mai's belly before heading to the door.
"Come on, kiddo. Lets see about what we will have for dinner," Rick
said as he reached for Rachel's hand and the two walked out of the
bathroom.
An hour later, he saw Mai laying quietly in the tub with her eyes closed.
He undressed and slipped in with her.
"This IS relaxing," he said softly, sliding in behind her.
"Yes, it is... Rick-," true enough that it was relaxing, but Mai thought
Rick would've had more pressing matters to attend to now.
"Don't worry," Rick said, sliding his hands along her arms. "Rachel will
be busy for next hour. She say she working on painting for you."
Mai nodded slowly then took in another slow deep breath. "And what
about yourself? Don't you need more rest than what you've been
getting for work?" With pediatrics, Rachel, and the new baby Mai may
be overwhelmed, but not enough to stop thinking of others first.
"Shipyard won't be ready until day after tomorrow. I not have to be back
to work until then," he started rubbing her shoulders, then kissing them
and her neck. "For now, I at your beckon call."
"Mmm... Sounds too good to be true..." Mai replied as she took another
deep breath with her eyes still closed.
"Come on, kiddo. Lets see about what we will have for dinner," Rick

bathroom.

Rick grabbed a wash cloth and began to rub it against Mai's back and
shoulders. He wanted to make love to her then and there but, while
Rachel may be busy painting, he didn't want to take the chance.
That didn't mean he couldn't be a little frisky.
