I gasped for breath as I felt the gel drain away from me leaving my skin with a strange film, I sat up banging my head on my glass of the pod

"Ahhh fuck!" I groan holding my head as it began to ache where I hit it, I put my hand on the glass trying to push it open "Hey! Hey!! Hey! My Pod Door Isn't working?" I yell "HEY!!"

"Alright, alright don't shit a brick Simon" Her voice answered as my door opened so I rubbed my eyes letting them clear a little seeing the hold with all the pods most of them still closed with Lulu stood by the control board in her jumpsuit, her bright red hair in a tight braid down her back "Wakey wakey, got yourself some light years morning wood?"

"Ohh go hop on your vibrator Lu" I complained fixing my hair "Get the rest of them up, I'm going for a shower"

"Yes, Boss" she sighed "I'll get right on that Boss, anything else I can do for you boss? make your coffee? Mop the floor? repaint the ship? suck your cock?" he asked

"You know what lu!" I began getting up

"What?" she smirked

"get them up and on the bridge, before I gank out whatever the fuck you use to live" I sighed grabbing my towel and heading out the room and heading into the showers the white tiles refreshing and sweet to the eye as I wrapped the little paper excuse for clothes I had and standing under the shower on as hot as I can get it scrubbing my skin as much as I could.

"Hey Simon" I heard behind me making me turn seeing another figure under the next shower

"Hey Milo" I laughed

"How ya feelin'?" He asks

"Like refired shit" I laughed "You?"

"I feel dirty, At least I got a little sugar when I got up" he smirked

"Lucky you Lulu had the arse with me" I answered

"Awww you poor thin'" He laughs and within a couple of seconds, I felt arms around me the strong muscular arms cradling my torso "hey... Ya wanna share my body wash?"

"Well... I'm not going to say no" I smiled giving his lips a gentle kiss which he happily returned, I turned on the balls of my feet to face him his sweet eyes staring at me In a sinful way as he looked at every inch of me, I wrapped my arms around his muscular body pulling him so I could feel all of him against me. I pulled his lips back to mine and he happily and rather hungrily kissed me back his hands slipping down to grab my arse "humm you have missed me" I smirked kissing down his neck but he grabbed my neck forcing me against the wall of the shower under the still boiling showerhead

"Yeah, I have" he smirked wrapping my legs around him

"Guys knock it off other people wanna shower too you know" luke complained as he came around the corner to shower too

"Later" I winked as he put me back in the ground and I smiled giving him another kiss and we both returned to our usual showering.

I zipped up my jumpsuit heading into the bridge where a few of the crew sat getting everything booted up I went up to the control panel making it light up as got close clicking on the intercom,

"Morning dickholes, now I know your all a little groggy and hungover from stasis but it's what you're paid for," I said loudly "anyone feeling sick report to the medbay immediately, I do not want throw up all over my goddam floor" I explain "we are about an hour out from base so give me a check-up"

"She's good to base, but do not overwork the afterburners, I swear to god these things are about to blow one of these days" Luke yelled from down in engineering

"understood"

"Good to base, I've got six sickies down here but I can isolate them once we get down there" Milo answered

"You know to save me a little time and sanity anyone has an issue right now?" I asked and knowone answered "right, begin landing process, I'll be in the medbay someone needs me" I sighed heading out the bridge and down the long corridors to the medbay where a few people sat around with stasis sickness

"If there's nothin' wrong with ya get out my medbay" Milo warned as he rushed around taking temperatures and such like

"Can't I just stay till we land" I whine

"No go to the bridge and do ya job" he laughs

"But I'm bored" I pout

"that's no excuse to come down here and bother me," he says "If ya fine get out"

"I am sick" I shrug

"Ohh are ya?" He laughed leaning his tablet on his hip and looking at me with those judgemental blue eyes

"Yeah," I shrug coughing and sneezing as convincingly as I could

"yeah? what are ya symptoms?" he asked

"Cough, sneezing, Uhh headache, tummy ache, can't get a Bonner" I shrug

"I know one of those is a lie, Simon" he laughs "Go to work, go and land the ship captain, before I start considering a mutiny"

"You spoil all my fun" I complain

"I know I do" he answered getting back to work so I sighed going back to the bridge.

Once we landed I gathered my things and headed off the ship out to the terminal where everyone was busy getting on and off ships, people rushing around and trying to get where they were going as fast as possible, on every surface adverts and offers as I walked through the terminal listening to the intercom

"The Olen is leaving from Terminal 103"

"Join the Bublin Exploration Group today and gain a free counter upgrade"

"Get your HumaBot today, or trade-in your previous model for upgrades"

I hurried through the terminal till I got to all the little shops

"Daddy!" I heard the little voice smile, I smiled hard seeing the little blonde girl running towards me in her little blue dress

"Hi sweetheart" I smiled kneeling on the floor and giving her a little cuddle

"I missed you" she smiled

"I missed you too sweetheart" I smiled giving her a little kiss "where's mummy?" I asked

"Getting coffee," she says

"Alright, let's go find mummy" I smiled picking her up and keeping her on my hip while I tried to find Marcy and I saw her sat drinking coffee so I put Lina down letting her run back to Marcy

"Mummy! Mummy, I found daddy!" she giggled

"That's lovely hun" Marcy sighed picking her up and sitting with her "Hi Simon"

"Hi Marcy" I sighed as she got up

"Welcome home again" she sighed "Come on, I have Kim coming over tonight"

"Okay" I sighed taking Lina from her so I can carry her home.
