Mari rolled her eyes at him before settling down. "Well you can go and get some lunch hunny," she mused lightly to the boy. "I don't really want to move," she added with a bit of a chuckle. She was tried... she could feel herself draining already, so she did need to eat and then rest. She knew this was hard for Sage... she knew he had to do a lot for her as of then, and that he didn't get to go run around with his horses or anything... so she was just trying to get him out and doing things the best she could. So that he wasn't trapped here with her while she was pretty much bed bound.

Sage hummed in thought before grunting. "I'll get some food in a bit," he hummed. "I'm cozy now," he admitted with a chuckle. He didn't mind doing more work ...but now that he was down and curled up happily, he didn't want to move. He was tired too....but after a while he did want to eat, so he groaned and forced himself up and out of bed. "Anything in particular you want," he asked. It was really almost dinner time at that point, and he was up for anything.

Mari gave a bit of a groan when the boy said she didn't want to get anything just yet... well, she was starving. She hadn't eaten since breakfast, which wasn't really too long ago... but she was still hungry, she supposed. When he curled up, though, her featured softened and she went to wrap her arm around his side before patting his head. "You look hella comfy," she concluded with a small smile. He did look comfy... but when he went to get up, she was certainly happy. "Hmm... I've been wanting chicken... chicken strippers, maybe?" She asked with a cocked head and wide eyes. "And whatever else you want," she mused happily.

Sage chuckled at the girl's eager expression when he mentioned lunch. "Chicken strips it is," he chirped. They sounded pretty good, and they seemed even better since he knew Mari would really enjoy them. He'd eat anything, and she knew that...and chicken did sound pretty yummy anyway. He wandered down to the kitchen eventualy to find some chicken and cut it up before putting some flour and whatnot on it for breading and cook it up quickly. THen he wandered back to the ward and dropped the doctor off a plate before going into their room and handing Mari ehr food and a glass of water and sitting down with his own meal happily before digging into the food.

Mari smiled happily when the boy agreed, and went back to reading her book happily. She watched him with a slightly cocked head when he came back about an hour later... more than happy to be near food that she was actually wanting, rather than whatever they would have given her otherwise. "Thanks baby," she hummed softly to the boy, sitting up a bit to receive the food happily. "You feeling alright," asked gently as she took the tray from him and gently patted the bed next to her. "Feeling confident," she mused happily after a few seconds. She knew she should be the one worried about everything, but she couldn't worry herself like this. She didn't need it, not really.

Sage grinned over at the girl when she thanked him and nodded happily. He'd needed to feel like he was doing something and helping out. Plus, it was still yummy. And seeing how happy it made Mari was just an added bonus, really. He moved from the chair to the bed when she patted it, since he'd figured she'd need her space but was glad to plop down next to her. He chuckled at her And grinned when she spoke up. "yep," he chirped. Then he shook his head at her next one. "Nope," he admitted with a slight chuckle. "I'm still nervous about it. But I'm excited too, you know that," he mused happily.

Mari nodded to him in agreement. "I know you are. I think we're all excited," she mused lightly. The nursery they'd built in the house was lovely... all it was missing now was a baby. A soon to be here baby, too. She hummed happily to the boy when he sat next to her, and continued to eat happily. It really was lovely, too. She was more than happy to munch away... the food was really delicious, and it was wonderful that her husband had made it, too. "Ahh, Sage, I can't wait to go back home and get to sit in my own bed," she chuckled lightly to him with a happy sounding chuckle. "And to have this baby out of me," she added with a bit of a chuckle.

Sage hummed lightly and nodded, and couldn't help but wonder what the baby would be like. Was it a boy or a girl? Black hair or brown hair or blonde hair? His mother had been blonde...it was entirely possible. And green or brown or hazel eyes? Or soemething else? What would they act like? There were so many questions, and he was so close to getting answers to them all. He was definitely excited for it all. He chuckled at her comment, humming in agreement. "I do like it better when I can cuddle without getting pushed out of the way by a baby I don't even really know yet," he teased her lightly. He relaly didn't care...at least pressed up against her he could feel the baby kicking or moving occasionally. He did like it better when she had a flat belly, though. Hopefyllu, the baby came out sooner rather than later, and they could get their baby and be more confortable too. And go home. That was nice too. He liked his old room, but their house was just...different, he supposed.

Mari chuckled gently in agreement as she placed her now empty plate on the side before reaching over to Sage. "Come here," she huffed as she flopped down on the bed. "Come cuddle my belly," she teased him lightly. She still felt a bit sickly when she was too close or trapped by anyone, but she was feeling alright now, really. And, well, she kinda wanted a hug from her husband. Enjoy the silence before having their ears screamed off by both her and a baby in the next few days... or maybe even the next few hours. She was so, so excited, but something in her was still sort of nervous about the whole thing.

Sage chuckled lightly at the girl but flopped down next to her more than willing to cuddle up again with his wife. And, well...the baby too, he supposed. The baby sort of just came along with everything as of right then. He didn't mind so much though. He curled up and around the baby bump and into Mari as best he could. He did love the baby, but he did sort of want his wife back too. It had been a while since they'd been able to do very much...cuddling or other more intamate things, and while he knew they didn't need it all for a good relationship, it was all certainly very nice to be able to do those things. He sort of just curled up into her and closed his eyes though, more than happy to have some time to just cuddle up and rest before things got loud. And difficult.
