"Baby?" Colbie guessed, relaxing back in the water and keeping an eye on her. Just in case she needed anything.
|
"Yeah," Maya said, laying her head back again and closing her eyes. "But she's not kicking like earlier, so it's fine. I think she finally wore herself out."
|
"Good. You both need the rest." Colbie sighed quietly and sank a little further into the tub.
|
"Mmm," Maya hummed. "You need to rest, too. The hot bath is good for all of us, I think."
|
"Probably so," Colbie agreed. "Might have to do this more often." She grinned a bit.
|
"I wouldn't object to three more months of relaxing like this," Maya agreed with a soft sigh. "It's nice.
|
Colbie chuckled. "You can come relax whenever you want," she murmured. "Not like we have a strict schedule to keep anymore."
|
"I know," Maya said. She was quiet for a moment. "I don't really know what to do with myself anymore. I've always had a routine, and someone to tell me what to do."
|
"Make a new routine?" Colbie shrugged a bit. "I'm not sure. But I think finding something to do will help."
|
"I don't know what I should be doing," Maya admitted. "I don't have... hobbies. Not like normal people have." Although, if she were honest, she was starting to look forward to movie night with Steve a couple of times a week. It was nice, both the movie and the time with him. And that surprised her.
|
"I know." Colbie made a wry face. "Trust me, I know. I've spent a lot of time in the gym."
|
"I know," Maya said. She couldn't help but grin just a little. "That's good, though." She was quiet for a few moments. "I might go and settle in the main room when we're done here. I think I'll want something to eat by then, and..." She trailed off, glancing at Colbie, not sure how she would react to Maya considering time with Steve.
|
Colbie nodded. "The good blender is on the main floor," she agreed. "Will you need anything else? I can bring fruits if you want."
|
"Fruits sound good," Maya said, nodding. "Maybe something green? Kale?" She had been craving something a bit leafy in her smoothies recently, and she'd read that kale was very nutritious.
|
"Kale, or spinach, or both. We can play around and see how much you want. They're both quite good for you." Colbie had both of those on hand, even.
|
Maya nodded.
"That sounds good," she said. "Perhaps we can find a recipe somewhere for them." Because she certainly didn't know what things went well with kale or spinach. She stretched a little and reluctantly stood up. "I think I've hit my limit for hot baths for the moment, so I'm going to go find something comfy to put on and hope the baby stays asleep for a while." |
Colbie nodded. "Yell if you need anything. I think... I think I want to stay for a bit longer."
|
Maya nodded.
"That's alright," she said. "Enjoy." Wrapping herself as much as she could in one of the obscenely fluffy towels, Maya padded back out into her room to get dressed. Then she made her way up to the main floor. |
Steve had gone over everything that had happened with Bucky, and left his friend beating up a punching bag waiting to hear about Colbie. Steve, on the other hand, had opted to go back up to the main floor and draw for a while. So he was absorbed in a sketch pad when Maya came in.
|
Maya saw him sketching, and decided not to interrupt him. She went into the kitchen and grabbed some crackers to nibble on, and then settled into a plush armchair with a sigh.
|
Steve heard the sigh and blinked, surfacing again.
"Maya? Done already?" He sounded surprised, but a little pleased. |
Maya nodded.
"I feel alright now," she said. "And the little one is asleep, so now is a good time to just... settle." |
Steve nodded, looking at her for a few moments.
"Want to watch a movie?" Because she seemed to like them and he really wasn't sure what else to do now. |
Maya couldn't help but smile a little at the offer.
"Sure," she said. "Which one?" |
Steve hesitated for a few moments before he moved over to sit next to her, pulling up Netflix and starting to scroll through it for something good.
