"You're scaring me a little~" Valery chuckled and backed up while she pulled him on land. Once there, she kept hold onto his hands, and looked into his eyes with quite the grin on her face. "You know I was just teasing, right? You did great, honey." She leaned up to kiss his cheek, but after her lips had connected, the corners of her lips tugged up into a teasing little grin. A small sign to show him that she knew.

She was in trouble.

Sitting down, Valery took off the ice skates and put her boots back on, before rising. "As part of the trouble tonight, why uh, don't we try again? You know, for a baby. The Alliance has fortified everything and the Sith have been quiet. I just..." she bit her lower lip and looked a tiny bit timidly at him while she waited for his answer.

"Yeah... I'd just like to become a Mom again."

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"Good."

Kahlil just gave a little casual smile before taking her hand in his once they had their boots on. They were going for the walk first. In fact, he was more than fine with keeping her waiting for the whole day this time. It was his turn to tease her. By making her wait and wonder what exactly it was that was going on through his mind.

"You never stopped being a mom you know."

He raised a brow, glancing towards her for a brief moment before smirking. "But we can have another baby, yes."

"Babe..." she whined just a little when he kept himself completely cool. Of course, she happily took his hand and interlaced fingers while they walked, but this was far worse than what she had done to him. He had gotten a show that most men in the Galaxy would kill for, and sure she had messed with him as well, but...

This was just cruel.

The topic of being a Mom at least distracted her a little from the racing mind, and she chuckled at his comment, "I knowww. The triplets are very little and snuggly, and even Vera and Aris are still my babies," she began with a happy smile. "It's just the little bugs in my head again..."

She smiled sheepishly, though when he agreed to having another baby, Valery squealed and jumped him. Her legs wrapped around his waist, and she just kept him in a tight hug.

"Does mean that we got some work to do~" she waggled her brows and pecked him on the lips. "If it's another girl, Aris and Adam will really be outnumbered."

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"This means there will be a lot of work. Good thing we're on vacation so you can recover, mm?"

Kahlil just had that dangerous smile on his face as he helped carry Valery up after she'd jumped onto him. He was just as excited as she was, even if he wouldn't let it show too much. He wanted a new kid just as much as she did. That was still something he very much wanted. Though, it certainly meant danger for Valery, and he wasn't going to hide that at all.

"Where would you like to see next?"

"I'm going to need time to recover, hm?" She smirked at the thought and bit her lip playfully, "I like the sound of that though. The next 9 months won't really give us many chances to get... rough." Not that pregnancy stopped her from wanting some alone time with him, but she was an extremely careful and overprotective Mom. So, no fighting like they had done at the Solstice festival, no throwing her around.

They'd have to be careful.

"The lake!" Valery then chirped, before she got on her feet and pulled him along a little faster. The lake of tears, the one with so many memories, was already up ahead, and she just couldn't wait to stand in that one spot again.

"You know, I was just thinking... how do you think Aris will react to the news? Will be his first time."

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"Oh I remember. Hopefully it won't be three this time so you're not completely drained by the end." Carrying three had certainly taken a lot out of Valery by the end. Not that the start would be any less exhausting for her. The lake it, and he walked with her, not letting her hand go all this time.

"I'm not sure how he'll react at all, if I'm being honest. He's even more straight faced than I am."

"The chances of triplets are very small, so I doubt it. I hope it's just one this time, really," Valery said with a chuckle. "Not just because of how big I'm going to get again otherwise. But one little baby to smother and for the other kids to help take care of would just make me so happy." With rosy cheeks and a big smile, Valery already pictured herself cradling her baby in her arms again.

Sure, the triplets were still young and needed a lot of parental attention, but she was also a sucker for the baby phase.

"He is very straight faced, but sometimes, he shows me glimpses of what's underneath. I think he's going to be quite protective of me and the baby once it's born," Valery said with a chuckle. "I want to give him a chance to help out with things. Both when I'm pregnant, and once we have the baby."

It'd be a good lesson for Aris, but probably really fun as well.

"Hoping for a son or daughter? Or doesn't it matter to you?" Valery then asked with a grin. "If it's another girl, we'll have you guys outnumbered quite a bit~"

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"He'll find his way out of his shell. Or, perhaps he won't. He might not be the best at showing people he cares, but he certainly does. I think that's enough." He certainly wouldn't pressure Aris to try and show it off himself, after all. But a protector? Kahlil nodded once in firm agreement with that. He had little doubt the young Epicanthix would shy away from becoming a protector of his mother and their child when he was told about it.

It'd probably be the first thing he'd say he'd do.

"Gender doesn't matter to me. It's our child, after all."

"I'm definitely not going to try and change him," Valery said with a motherly smile. "I really have a soft spot for Aris... for all our kids, really. But just, when he looks at me for hot chocolate, or the way he sometimes has those little smiles..." she let out a soft sigh of pure joy. "He shows his affection more than enough, and it's easy to tell if you pay attention." Valery and Kahlil certainly picked up on it, and Vera did too.

She even teased him over it.

"I know, I know. Just the thought of you getting dragged along for shopping by five daughters is really funny to me." Vera, Aurra, Aeryn, Colette and maybe this new baby all wanting Dad's attention. That'd be quite the challenge, but she knew he'd love it. Even if it was a shopping day.

Not much later, the two finally arrived at the lake, and Valery's eyes fell on the spot near the tree line. The exact place where she had been when she made her wish.

"It feels like it was only yesterday."

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"I suppose it could be funny, though, I certainly wouldn't mind it. I like being a dad."

Kahlil teased just a little, flashing another grin towards Valery before they reached the lake. Then he let his gaze linger on it. Focused on the waters. So much had happened in their lives. So much had changed, but she was right. It did feel like it was yesterday. Their lives were chaos, but.. He just smiled. Squeezed her hand gently as they stood by the waters.

"It was a good wish."

"I know you do. It's one of many reasons why you're so great." She looked at him and met his grin with a very warm smile. Being a good husband and father were the two most important qualities he had. He took care of his family, and even if five daughters wanted to pull him along for a never-ending shopping trip to fit hundreds of pairs of shoes, he'd do it with a smile on his face. The kids loved him for it, and he definitely made the wife very happy.

Then, the two arrived at the lake and Valery squeezed his hand a little tighter. The memory here was one she couldn't place very easily. One part of her felt a nervous type of tension in her chest, as memories of going through pregnancy without him resurfaced Memories of having doubts about ever seeing him again.

But it was also a sign of hope — a wish that had come true.

"Best one I've ever made," Valery said while she turned to him and stepped closer. She rested her head against his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist for a hug. "I just don't want to make one like it ever again. Just like with the triplets, I want you home with me as much as possible." This time, the family was a lot bigger, so even if Kahlil couldn't be home, there were others to keep her company.

But his support was very important.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"If I'm home any more than I already am I'm sure they'll demand I stop being a Jedi in the Senate." Simply because he always spent as much time as he could home. Even if it meant sneaking out of meetings or delaying them. He wasn't above it, especially if it meant being with Valery. With their children. He just smirked as he squeezed her hand.

"Guess they're just gonna have to keep making those demands, huh."

"If I'm home any more than I already am I'm sure they'll demand I stop being a Jedi in the Senate."

Valery blinked at that, and turned her head to look up into his eyes. For quite some time now, he really had been home a lot, especially compared to all those years ago, before his 'death' and rebirth. Was she putting too much pressure on him to be with his family? That thought only passed through her mind for a second, before she shoved it away entirely. No, if there was one thing he loved, it was spending time with his family.

"Guess they're just gonna have to keep making those demands, huh."

Valery's lips trembled into a smile, and she squeezed his hand back just a little tighter, "Babe..." she wrapped herself around him for another hug, and held him close for as long as he'd let her. "I think it's important for you to still be at the Senate, but... thanks I love you so much." She managed to tilt her head up, with her chin resting against his chest, and smiled his favorite smile at him.

She took a step back after that to give him some space and looked him up and down with more of a playful smirk. "I think I've teased you enough though, and you promised me trouble~" Valery then continued before she bit down on her lower lip and flicked her hand up. Last year, he had blown snow up her skirt, so this time, she blew snow up from all around him to cover him in layers of it.

That had to get him cold and wet.

"Will have to catch me first, though!" With that, she turned around and ran.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

Kahlil just smiled the same, dangerous smile he'd had all evening. As the snow rose up, he raised a hand. The Force had warned him of her intentions. She had, perhaps without realizing it. The nervousness she held made it all to clear to him through their bond. The snow froze around him, hovering as he watched her.

"We both know you won't get far."

He curled his hand, letting the snow coalesce into a snowball above him.

A giant snowball. Which he then promptly threw right for her running form with an application of the Force.

"So be ready for your punishment!"

Oh no.

Valery was running for her life, but she had seen the snow floating around him. She could feel the danger through their bond, and picked up the pace even more. After their spar the night before, she had felt good about using their Dyad to finally get him back in a fight. But in all of that excitement, she had clearly forgotten that he could read her like nobody else ever could.

The giant snowball closed in on her, and Valery squealed out loud. That squeal then turned into a muffled scream on impact, before his poor wife disappeared under a huge amount of snow and no longer moved.

She wasn't hurt, of course, but very much buried and stuck in the pile of cold. Maybe she shouldn't have teased him all night long. The images of her skating on ice in that dangerously sexy outfit still floated around between their linked minds.

<Babe...?> She asked while she remained completely still beyond trembling from the cold around her.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

There was no response from Kahlil until he reached her and just plucked her out of the snow to toss her over his shoulder like she was luggage. She was likely cold now, but that wasn't going to be a problem for much longer. He just patted her rear as he walked his way back towards the hotel they'd rented out.

"Caught you, love."

Valery was definitely cold.

After he casually plucked her from the snow, she laid still over bis shoulder and trembled. Only when she felt him patting her butt, did she look over with a smirk, "Hands off the goods until we make it home~" she teased, but she was in no position to really be messing with him. He had that dangerous smile, after all, and she knew she was in trouble whenever he was being this quiet.

She needed a distraction.

"Hey love? Have I ever told you just how much I love you?" She asked, while they were getting closer and closer to town. Time was running out for Mrs. Master Noble.

"M-maybe we should take a moment to talk about it, hm?" She asked with a smirk she couldn't hold back. "It's important to me that you know."

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"Oh I don't need to talk about how much I love you. I plan to show you just how much, mm?"

Kahlil once again patted her rear, uncaring of her demands or requests. She'd played the game, and now she was about to find herself in her punishment. And he had no intention of letting her believe otherwise. He'd carry her right inside like this, all the way to their room, uncaring of the eyes that would likely be staring their way.

"You can talk later. Maybe."

People were definitely looking, especially as Valery squealed, but she didn't care and grinned from ear to ear, as he carried her through town. Soon enough, they reached their little place, and stepped into the warmth it offered. A fire was burning to keep things warm and cozy at the same time, and their bed was already made.

Tossed atop the soft surface, Valery scrambled back and looked at him, lower lip caught between her teeth while she challenged him with her gaze.

"Are you sure we shouldn't first eat some dinner? I'll cook a lovely steak and give you some cuddles by the fire to warm up~" She knew what she was doing, and so she knew that it was not going to be enough.

Her hands and feet came up in guard position, like a cat who knew it was about to get pounced on by another.

"I will tickle you."

 

[Kahlil Noble]

Kahlil reached down, gently taking Valery's chin. Gently before tilting her head up to steal a kiss and cut her off midsentence. He was all grins as he leaned back to his full height over her.

"Stop talking. You're already in enough trouble. You're mine till the sun comes up tonight, and we certainly won't just be cuddling."
