When Heather's shift in the Lab was almost over she had a chance to go over some things with Tara; afterwards she returned to their Quarters thinking about what to have for dinner. When she walked in she couldn't help but notice that James had put out his collectables “Boys and their toys” she thought to herself then chuckled.

Shortly thereafter James returned home and as he walked in, Heather was sitting on the couch “Hi sweetheart, how was your day” as he walked over and gave her a kiss.

“Good, my first day in the Lab was amazing...it felt so good to get back to work and Tara is really nice....I think we'll work well together. The equipment is state-of-the-art and almost like brand new” Heather replied with excitement in her voice “I see that you put your collectables today.”

“I'm so glad you like the Lab and especially Tara since she will be your boss more than I will be. At least with you two in the Main Lab I won't have to worry about it and can concentrate my efforts on the other three decks of Labs; that is not to say I won't show up every now and then” James said “Yes I decided to put my collection out...so now all of our boxes are empty and we can have them picked up tomorrow.”

“I'm very happy with the working conditions on the Ship and also with our new home” She responded “That's fine, I know what your collection means to you; why don't you sit and I'll get us a drink.”

James went into the bedroom to change his clothes then came back into the living room and sat on the couch as Heather came back with some Irish Whiskey for the both of them. “So how was your day” she asked.

“Good, I spent some time on the Bridge this morning and became familiar with the Science Stations, which by the way are amazing with all the information that they afford you. Then I went back to my office and polished off the mound of reports and signed off on them. Maybe tomorrow I can get down to the Cartography Lab” he explained as he took a sip of his drink.

“Sounds like you've been a busy boy” Heather added “By the way have you noticed that this Ship has an abundance of gorgeous women on board. Seems like everywhere I look they're all beautiful from the Commodore on down.”

James looked at Heather “Well....I guess you'll fit right in then” he replied with a smile.

“No, I'm serious....I haven't seen one 'plain Jane' since I've been on this Ship” she said with a hint of irritation in her voice.

James wasn't sure if he was going to win this current conversation “I suppose your right” he responded.

“James McTavish....do we need to have you go to Sickbay and have yours eyes checked” she retorted as her Irish temper was starting to surface.

At this point he couldn't understand where she was going with this “My eyes are just fine thank you very much. Besides my sweet, sweet Heather......you should know by now that the only gorgeous women that I have eyes for on this Ship is you” he said being very sincere and seeing that her temper was starting to subside.

Heather sat for a moment looking at her husband “I'm sorry, I guess that I just wanted to hear you say it” she replied “Looks like you smooth talked your way out of that one” she said with a smile as she gave him a very tender kiss.

James stared into Heather's beautiful brown eyes “You know my darling....I love you more now than I did when we were first married and that's not smooth talk....that's fact” he replied “You really are the girl of my dreams” at that James gave Heather a very long, passionate kiss.

“Wow.....Mr. McTavish it's been awhile since you've kissed me like that....I guess I should have brought the subject up sooner” she said smiling then proceeded to return the favor.

After two very long kisses “So what would you like for dinner” he asked.

Heather thought for a few moments “You know what sounds good....one of your signature burgers with chips on the side” she answered.

“Sounds good to me” James replied “Be back with the food soon” as he went to the kitchen to work his magic. Shortly he came back with two plates of delicious food. The two of them ate their dinner discussing the day's events.

After dinner James walked the dishes to the kitchen and did what was necessary then came back with two more Whiskeys.

James noticed that Heather had some very relaxing music playing “Good choice” he commented and the two of them sat on the couch sipping their drinks. Soon she was snuggled up next to him “This is really nice” Heather said in a low voice; and they sat listening to the music for the rest of the evening.

About twenty two hundred hours Heather began to yawn “Excuse me......I think I've had enough for one day.” Then she looked at James “Sweetheart, would you like to take a shower with me” she whispered.

James looked at her with a big smile “Sure.....you don't have to ask me twice” he commented, then off they went holding hands.
