"I promise," Mia said gently. She ran her fingers through Simon's hair, resting her head on his.

“Thank you..” he whispered, giving her a quick squeeze. He let out a content sigh, just letting Mia hold him.

Mia nodded, holding Simon close. She fell silent, gently rubbing Simon's back.

Simon looked up at her. “Are you hungry?” He asked, knowing that neither of them had eaten that day.

"A bit, yeah," Mia admitted. She didn't have much of an appetite at the moment, but she would soon.

“Let’s go make something to eat then. That okay with you?” He asked, pulling out of her arms so he could get up.

"Yeah, that's good with me." It was… strange, to see Simon so willing to eat. What all had changed in him?

At the current moment, Simon was only feeling well enough to eat because he wasn’t stressed out of his mind. He intended to take advantage of that to get himself to maybe eat a full meal.

Mia stood, offering her hand to Simon to help him up. She'd take advantage of it too- Simon needed a proper meal without her forcing anything down his throat.

Simon took the hand that Mia offered, rising to his feet, a little unsteady from having been sitting for so long. He really did need to eat, it had the potential to cause issues in the pregnancy, or issues while the baby was being born, and that‘ s the last thing they needed.

It really was. That's why Mia had initially started feeding Simon herself as soon as she had. He couldn't afford any complications, for both of their sakes.
"What would you like?" Mia asked, moving towards the kitchen next to Simon.

“Hmmmm I dunno, what do we have?” He asked, thankfully seeming to have no trouble moving around. He had brought the blanket again though, wrapping it around himself. It helped keep some of the dysphoria at bay.

"Well, we have hamburger helper, some different meats and vegetables… We've got tv dinners too, if we want something quick." Mia hoped to make a healthy meal, but there were things they could have faster so Simon and she wouldn't lose their appetite.

“Let’s try actually making something good for us for once, how does that sound? But if you want something else that’s completely fine too.” He said, looking over at her as he spoke.

"Sounds perfect to me!" Mia offered a smile, moving over to the fridge to figure out exactly what they were doing.

“Great!” He said, following close behind her, peering into the fridge with her, humming softly under his breath.

Mia thought quietly, squatting some.
"Well, how does any kind of meat sound? There's a lot of different kinds in here…"

“That sounds fine with me.” He said, looking around in other parts of the fridge just to see what he could find.

There was… a lot. Food was tucked securely in every open space, offering most anything Simon might want.
"How does turkey or chicken sound?" Mia asked, pulling out a chicken breast.

“Chicken sounds great honestly.” Simon responded. “Should we make anything to go with it? We do have a lot of stuff in here. Maybe a fruit salad or something? Just a small one though, wouldn’t want it to go bad.”

"A fruit salad sounds good," Mia agreed. She moved over to the counter, taking the chicken out of the packet to start preparing it.

“Okay, cool! Are there any fruits you don’t like so that way I won’t put them in by mistake?” He asked, beginning to grab some from the fridge already.

"Not any I can think of!" Mia smiled, looking to Simon a moment.

“Okay then I’ll just chop some up.” He said, grabbing a handful of fruits and bringing them over to the counter.

"Got it." Mia started the chicken, cutting it into proper portions and seasoning it, moving over to the pan.

Simon grabbed a big bowl and a cutting board, beginning to chop up the fruits, humming softly under his breath as he did so.

Mia cooked quietly, smiling a bit. They were… well, relaxed here. They could both be calm as they did this together.

Simon’s mood was significantly better than normal solely because he wasn’t afraid that Astral was going to come hurt them right now.

Mia used tongs to move the chicken around some, looking over at Simon with a soft smile. That was pretty much the only reason for her too, besides the fact Simon was willing to eat.

Simon really hoped it’d all last. If Astral improved then Simon’s mental stability would as well. “I’m all finished over here!” Simon announced after a few minutes, looking over at Mia.
